Get Everyone Picture Ready!


Between snowball fighting, tree decorating, and other holiday adventures, it's no surprise that everyone needs to freshen up before family pictures. Aren't family pictures a staple at every holiday event?! 

~Say cheese!!~


I am going to show you how I take care of my family, not only for family pictures but day in and day out! I'm sure some of you do the same things!! We all use a variety of products on ourselves and our family everyday, from body wash to floss and everything in between.
 

Why are You Telling Me This?!

What we may not know is how harmful these products really are, I know I didn't, and how easy it is to make little switches in our daily routine. {{Warning: you might just be blown away by the impact these little switches have on your family's health & wellness.}}





You get the picture right? Okay good. So, enter Young Living. They have been an absolute blessing to my family!! We use these products from the time we wake up to the time we go to sleep!! We are so much more than just oils. We offer a wide variety of personal care items, but for the sake of this article I will only highlight what we use daily!!









 



Bath & Shower Time

If you have children, have had children, or have been around children at all in your life, then you are extremely aware of how DIRTY they can get! {{I have two boys, three and almost two, an OH MY!!}} My boys and I actually use the same soap & shampoo. I love that I don't have to worry about harmful ingredients but also it makes it easier to buy one thing instead of twelve!! With such a wide variety of scents and options for shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, and even bar soap Young Living has made it super simple to always have good quality products. Currently we are using the Copaiba Shampoo and the Morning Start Bath Gel! {{Get this, my super course, super thick hair doesn't need conditioner when I use this!!!!!}}



I will be buying this cute little set to keep at grandma's house! <3

Personal Care

There are a few tooth pastes and I have tried a couple of them, my favorite is Dentarome Ultra! Another fun tip that my friends introduced me to is putting a drop of wintergreen on your toothbrush too! It gives a cool, minty-clean feeling! We do have kids toothpaste, I haven't tried it yet, we had bought another chemical free brand shortly before we started making all the switches. So I can't wait to try YL's version. The reason I love YL products so much is not only because I know that they're all safe and good for my family, but they just go SOOOO far!!! I have had my bottle of face wash for a year!!!! I use it EVERYDAY, most days twice a day!!! When you're running a home and you don't have a money tree growing in your yard, things like that really makes a difference!!




Speaking of face wash, here is my FAVORITE! I use Orange Blossom Face Wash and Satin Mint Face Scrub everyday, but I am in love with Orange Blossom! If I had to only use one this would be it!!


My face's other favorite friends are Pat & Frank! (Patchouli and Frankincense) I use these on my face EVERYDAY after I wash it, 2 drops of each straight on my face!! It has helped my complexion and the oil production of my face. I used to go back and forth from super dry to super oily and breakouts like crazy, well now I don't!! Its AMAZING!!!

 

So outside of that the other things we use are oils. We use different oils on different days, depends on where we're going, what we're doing and who we're seeing. LOL but really. Now, my husband likes to give me a hard time about EVERYTHING!! So naturally he gives me a hard time about my oils.  He has yet to ump on the bandwagon with me so I am going to show you a few of my friends favorite items!! Shutran! This is a woodsy and masculine essential oil blend that most men who stay armed & oily uses. This is simple and works as a beard conditioner, cologne and it supports you men and your health!
 
 

You Look Good, but How Do You Feel?

It's hard to look your best when you don't feel your best. This year embrace the most beautiful gift you have to give to yourself and your family, health and wellness. 💪🏻🌱💧 We use all of these oils daily in a variety of ways! We diffuse them, use them topically and make roller blends to support our immune systems. We also use them internally! (cooking, putting them in water, or in capsules) Our other daily habits include NingXia Red and various supplements.

 

If it weren't for all of these products I don't know how we would make it. I love being able to boast about my children not getting sick!! I love that this (all of the "this" items) is just one less worry I have as a mom. There is only so much I can do to protect and grow my children, BUT there is so much I CAN do, and I will do it. I hope that you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving, a very Merry Christmas, and a happy New Year!
