Essential oils are great replacement for toxic, chemical filled household cleaners and health and beauty products.
Over the past few years, I've been experimenting with essential oils and incorporating them into my life. I've been diffusing them around the house to freshen and cleanse the air. I've experimented with making skin care and house hold products, and I've even experimented with food grade oils in cooking and baking.
Although I've tried many brands over the years, I keep coming back to Young Living Essential Oils. They are the purest and most potent that I've found. They are gluten free, and their food grade, Vitality Line is non-GMO certified and many as also Kosher certified. I love their Seed to Seal process. Last year, I decided to take the next step, and become one of their distributors, and I carry them in my office.
If you've been wanting to try essential oils, check out the Young Living site. There you'll find information on their global farms, their purity in processing, their products, membership options, rewards programs, code of ethics, charitable work, and more.
You can also feel free to contact me with questions.

Make Your Own Non-toxic Bug Repellent
Summer is here and so are the mosquitoes and other annoying bugs, so here is a quick and easy homemade, non-toxic bug spray. Combine 20 drops of Young Living's citronella essential oil to 4 oz. of distilled water in a tinted glass spray bottle. Shake well before each use, and store in a cool place. Why use a tinted glass bottle? Plastic is a petroleum product and oil makes it break down, and the plastic starts to leach into your spray. The chemicals in the plastic can disrupt hormone imbalance, lead to weight gain and other health related problems over time. The bottle should be tinted as heat and light can breakdown the oil's integrity. You can purchase citronella oil here on Young Living's website, or if you are local, contact me to see if I have it in stock.
