Young Living Thieves Essential Oil

I am so excited we are going to talk about Young Living Thieves Essential Oil today! This wasn’t an essential oil I got until I purchased a wholesale membership with Young Living. When I did it was the first oil I opened up and smelled. I had been hearing for months about “Thieves” and how amazing it smelled and what it was used for! I could not wait to get my hands on this essential oil.

Young Living has two essential oil lines for Thieves. They have the white label and that is their Vitality line that is for dietary. They also have their normal bottle and that is for aromatic and topical usage.

Thieves® essential oil is a powerful combination of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils for an aromatic blend that fills any space with a rich, spicy aroma. Inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of clove, rosemary, and other botanicals used while robbing the dead and dying, Thieves is one of Young Living’s most popular products.

With the benefits of Thieves oil including cleaning power and an irresistibly spicy scent, Young Living offers it as an essential oil blend and as an important ingredient in a full range of home cleaning and personal care products, from dish soap to toothpaste. Looking to make your home smell as clean as it looks? Diffuse Thieves oil throughout the house for an aroma that makes every room smell more like fall baking than harsh cleaning formulas.

How to Use

Topical: Dilute 1 drop with 4 drops of V-6™ or olive oil. Test on small area of skin on underside of arm. Apply to desired area as needed.

Aromatic: Diffuse up to 10 minutes 3 times daily.

Thieves essential oil uses:

  • Refresh musty carpets by adding 5 drops of Thieves to a cup of baking soda; combine well and let sit overnight until the oil is absorbed. Sprinkle over carpets and vacuum thoroughly.
  • Diffuse 6–8 drops of Thieves to help create an environment of peace and security. Customize your Thieves experience by adding a few drops of Orange, Tangerine, or Nutmeg essential oil.
  • Put in a few drops of Thieves essential oil blend in your dishwater or dishwasher to thoroughly clean dishes and eliminate odor.

Storage: Keep in a cool, dark place.

Product Tips

  • Put a few drops of Thieves essential oil blend in a capsule and swallow with water to support your immune system
  • Put in a few drops of Thieves essential oil blend in your dishwater or dishwasher to thoroughly clean dishes and eliminate odor

When I do make-n-take parties to help educate people this is what I give to them about Thieves:

Young Living Thieves.jpg

I was looking over the list of Thieves products from Young Living as well and I don’t think they have anything I haven’t used at this point! I love the smell, I love the taste of it, I love using it for carpet freshener, in tea, in coffee, in my NingXia Red, and in the diffuser.

Have you tried this amazing essential oil yet? What are your favorite things to use it for? Have you used any of the other Young Living Thieves products? Do you have a favorite?

Lets Learn About: YL Lemon EO

Here is a little bit of education. I was told one of the best ways to learn about a specific oil is to study it for a week and by the end of a year you will have taken the time to learn about 52 essential oils in depth.

Lets Learn About LemonWhat a great idea. While this post is not completely in depth it will give you some general knowledge that you can expand upon if you choose to!

Please keep in mind that in the post I am talking about Young Living Essential Oil. I am not talking about any other brand that may be out there! I only trust one EO company and that is whom this post is about!

Lemon can be diffused, directly inhaled and applied topically. Some of the things we use it for around our home would be:

  1. Diffusing when the dogs come in wet. Get that YL Lemon EO going so that I don’t have to smell wet dog.
  2. Use to polish jewelry with a soft cloth.
  3. Use it to get sticker residue off.
  4. Add it to Young Living Household Cleaner for a more prominent lemon smell
  5. Add to a load of laundry to help brighten up your white clothes.

Lemon Vitality can also be used as a dietary supplement. Some of the things we use it for around our home would be:

  1. Adding a drop or two to our glass (only use EO’s in glass) water bottle.
  2. Use it when you are cooking! Poultry is a favorite of mine. Also I make a killer cheesecake with Lemon Vitality! Amazing!
  3. Put a drop or two into a capsule and take up to three times a day.
  4. Make our own teas with it instead of using a tea bag.
  5. I have been adding it to my Greek Yogurt. Oh my gosh talking about goodness! Plain yogurt you can do so much with but when you add a drop of YL Lemon EO to it – heaven!

Lemon Facts

What are your favorite uses for lemon essential oil? I am always in awe when I learn something new about an essential oil so teach me! What do you know about lemon that I don’t!

Homemade Hand Sanitizer

Well I have used hand sanitizer for a long time now. There are a few things I am not fond of when it comes to it:

  1. Some of them make your hands really dry; actually I haven’t found one that hasn’t dried my hands out
  2. Some of them make your hands feel really sticky or tacky and I really hate that feeling
  3. Some of them don’t do what they should be doing

So when we started to use Young Living and then started to get on other sites I was seeing all these recipes for homemade. We have tried a few of them but still a lot of them still used alcohol in them!

Homemade Hand SanitizerWhat is the point people? It isn’t saving you money to make your own that dries your hands out because then you are still investing in lotion to hydrate your hands! Pish Posh

So we have since been doing four different variations but basically it is the same. These are a gel and would be something you would squirt out of a bottle. We have another one that is more like a spray, but we will save that for another day. Both do what I would like it to do and both do not dry my hands or anyone else in the family.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer – Gel Option 1

1 Cup Aloe Vera Gel
1 Tablespoon Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
30 Drops Thieves Essential Oil

Mix well and store in glass jar. Put in 2 oz. squeeze
tube/bottle as needed.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer – Gel Option 2

2 Tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel
1/8 Teaspoon Vitamin E Oil
10 Drops Thieves Essential Oil
5 Drops Lavender Essential Oil
1 Tablespoon Water

Mix all ingredients but water in a 2 oz. tube/bottle.
At end add the water and shake again.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer – Gel Option 3

3 Tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel
1/2 Tablespoon Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 Teaspoon Vitamin E Oil
16 Drops Thieves Essential Oil
8 Drops Lavender Essential Oil
8 Drops Citrus Essential Oil (any kind)

Mix everything together in a bowl and then add to a small jar or a 2 oz.
squeeze tube/bottle.

Homemade Hand Sanitizer – Gel Option 4

This is a do not measure running out the door option when I find I have run
out and am in need of something quickly:
Pure Aloe Vera Gel
Vitamin E Oil
Thieves Essential Oil
Water

Take 2 oz. squeeze tube/bottle. Fill about 2/3rds of the way with Aloe Vera Gel.
Next add Vitamin E Oil. Put in about 15 drops Thieves Essential Oil. Top off
with water. Shake and Go!

Do you have a favorite? Do you use different essential oils? Have you ever made a homemade hand sanitizer? If not what is stopping you?

Soccer In The Sand – Grand Haven – 2016

What a weekend! We had sun, fun, family, friends, sand, soccer, water and exercise!

Soccer In The SandBella was on a team this year, her first year. They made it to the finals and came in second place!

We got a great workout with just walking to and from the courts from the car (If you know Grand Haven beach, the courts went from the Pier all the way down to Bill Mar restaurant). I think we went back and forth a few times to get everything to our spot in the sand. Then the same amount for trips back to the car when we were done.

It was hot out. The sun was relentless. The kids played in the water in the sand. They made bonds with others on the team. For the team themselves they were exhausted and accomplished by the time the last game was over on Sunday.

The two prescription medications I take do not mix well with the sun, so I am not looking or feeling the greatest at this point.

So not only did the children have a great workout from all the walking as well they placed soccer in the sand!

Now I know some people run on the beach, walk on the beach and it is a great workout! Maybe picking running back up and doing it on the beach would be a great option. Soft sand, great workout, automatically cooled off by the waves, and peace and calming from God’s glorious world around me!

What did you do this weekend? Did you have fun outside? Did you get a workout or two in? Did you relax and just have a peaceful time with family and friend? Did you get to have some alone time? No matter what you got to do, I pray that it was a wonderful time for you!

Want to see the girls in action? Here is a video that you can go and watch the U8 Sand Angels play soccer in the sand! I would like to say that Bella was exhausted by the time the last game got there! I am beyond thankful that we started Juice Plus about 4 months ago now! She has so much more energy, I can’t even imagine what it would have been like if she had been without the Juice Plus! I might of had to put her on my back and play the game for her! Plus thank the good Lord that we had Ortho Ease and Ortho Sport to put on her legs before she went to bed on Saturday night and again before we took off on Sunday. There is nothing like natural help that was put here by God! We were able to use non-toxic chemicals to help rejuvenate and rebuild her body (and mine).

Animals and Essential Oils

I would like to say that I am a believe in essential oils. Not only do I use Young Living on our furless family, I use them on my furry family.

Alternative Treatment for PetsIt has been very helpful for out animals. Especially during firework season. Being able to help calm them is something I think we all appreciate! Especially our fearful pups and kitten.

Here is a great video to show how they can be utilized:

Now Dr. Tom Pfafman isn’t near me but I wish he was! I hope you find something interesting and useful!

One thing I do want to say is that the reporter said you can get these EO’s in a store or online. No you can not buy Young Living in a store – Young Living is a company that you can only (should only) purchase from the Young Living website. You sign up either as retail  customer or wholesale member!

Simple Way To Get Steps In

One change I have been making is to get my steps in. It isn’t always great weather. We no longer have a gym membership, so this is what I have been doing.

One of the best things is when I am doing it earlier enough a lot of the times the two youngest kiddos will join me.

Now after I have done any kind of workout my body is always fighting me. I have some autoimmune issues and my body isn’t a fan. So I use these three Young Living Essential Oils to help.

After I get done I apply these to my muscles to help them feel alive, rejuvenated, relaxed and ready to go the next day!

Simple things, small things, do them for a while and they become your life style.
