On the other side of the world, you are approaching winter and you might notice your skin feeling dry. Therefore, I  am sure you will love to soak in a hot bath so this milk bath is a double WIN!

Did you know: 

Yes, did you know that Cleopatra claimed that a milk bath preserved her beauty and kept her skin glowing and youthful?

Ingredients:

2 cups whole powdered milk (higher fat content the better)
2 Slique tea bags (available from Young Living)

Choose to make cleaning easy with Thieves




It worries me that people say going chemical free is too hard and takes to much time!

I open my mouth to say you have to be joking and then close it again.  I sit and think for a moment and then I say you know you are so lucky because I have come across a wonderful range of products that I use. 

I use them because 
(a) I want to go chemical free
(b) I love they have essential oils in them
(c) has to be easy as I don't have a lot of time to clean.

So do you want me to tell you about them?

You know what they all say is "Yes if it's easy I want to know."
So I tell them about Thieves.

This is what the company says and it sums it up perfectly.

"Young Living's unique Thieves blend is crafted in the tradition of four 15th-century French thieves who created a special aromatic combination of Clove, Rosemary and other botanicals.  Our Thieves line of products brings safe alternatives to your home so you can replace harsh chemicals with naturally-derived formulas that work effectively and smell amazing".

Once you start using Young Living products you will have your favourites.  I am still trying to decide - I do love the whole range of Thieves products and I credit diffusing Thieves Essential Oil with a couple of others as the key to my family being well 24/7.  So I encourage you to go Chemical Free the easy way and get your hands on your Young Living Products today.

Over time if you stick with me we will have you go chemical free in ways you didn't realise you could.  Together we will make healthy homes.

DIY Room Sprays and DIffusers Instead of Candles




DIY Room Sprays and Diffusers.

There are hundreds and hundreds 
Heidi said  "Ok, the cat is out of the bag! I was a HUGE candle person. Mostly for the pleasant, home sweet home ambience, they would create. Seasonal scents such as Warm Apple Cider, Pumpkin Spice, Christmas Tree Pine, Spring Is In The Air etc are very popular and can make our homes feel more festive."
Unfortunately, most mass-produced scented candles can have a negative impact on Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). From the wax to the wick to the fragrance itself, the average scented candle can release harmful chemicals into the air — even when unlit. So while you and your family enjoy the fragrance of scented candles in your home, they may be damaging your health."

You can find heaps of research that supports my blog - just Google  "danger of candles".  I am going to keep it simple for you.  
There is no question that we particularly like to have our homes smelling lovely when guests arrive. 
So you come in the house and it smells musty and friends are coming so you find the nearest candle  (pine forest candle) and you are really not doing yourself any favours.   So today is the day and time to say "I will no longer burn smelly candles in my home."  Or if that is too harsh - say I will take a closer look to find out what is actually in the candles I have in my home before I light the wick again.  
You will appreciate that many candles on the market today are made from the petroleum byproduct, paraffin.  Yes, that is without question a repeat offender among the list of toxic chemicals.  
In fact, when you burn candles aside from accidental fires, the process of burning anything always runs the risk of emitting unhealthy fumes and particles.

Three things to consider when you are checking your candles:
1. Examine the wax ingredients
2. Inspect candle wicks
3. Avoid fragrance

Your healthy candle checklist
  • Make sure the wick is made using 100% cotton
  • Choose a fragrance-free candle, or one that uses 100% pure essential oils
  • Choose 100% pure beeswax with no artificial colours
Heidi again says: ðŸŒ¿HAfter discovering essential oils, I next learned about the difference of all the many kinds of essential oils you can buy.  If you want to join our 14 Challenge to Remove Chemicals from your home use this link and you can hear more of her story. Now that I had pure, therapeutic grade essential oils and not fragrance essential oils, I was all set & good to go! I started ditching the candle habits and found the same blends can be made with oils."

Let's take a look at the two DIY's you can make to replace candles, & fragrance room sprays.

DIY ROOM SPRAY
8oz Glass spray bottle
20-30 drops Total Of Essential Oils Of Choice
Splash with Witch Hazel or Alcohol
🌟DIRECTIONS:
Mix all ingredients in a 4 oz glass spray bottle. Shake before each use. Use for living rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms.
Here's an example of the bottles I use from Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074J3ZGNF/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3…


DIFFUSER RECIPE
Water
6-10 drops Essential Oils
🌟DIRECTIONS:
Fill to water line. Start with 6 drops and increase according to your preferred strength.
