laundry bundle OUR FAVOURITE PLACE TO START WITH DITCHING & SWITCHING. WHY?! BECAUSE OUR CLOTHES, SHEETS, TOWELS, ALLLL OF THE FABRICS IN OUR LIVES TOUCH OUR BODIES LARGEST ORGAN (OUR SKIN) PRETTY MUCH 24/7. THIS MEANS THAT IF YOU'RE USING LAUNDRY DETERGENTS, BOOSTERS & FABRIC SOFTENERS FILLED WITH FRAGRANCE, OPTICAL BRIGHTENERS, SLS ETC. YOU ARE EXPOSING YOURSELF TO SO MUCH IN TERMS OF TOXICITY ON THE DAILY.

laundry DETERGENT IS MAN-MADE. IT ISN'T NATURAL. IT CONTAINS HARMFUL CHEMICALS, TOXINS, ENDOCRINE DISRUPTORS, FRAGRANCES AND MUCH MORE. SOAP IS NATURAL, IT COMES FROM NATURE AND HAS BEEN USED THROUGHOUT HISTORY BEFORE INDUSTRIALIZATION. THE THIEVES LAUNDRY SOAP IS SO GENTLE YET EFFECTIVE YOU CAN USE IT TO WASH NEWBORN CLOTHING, SWADDLES, BLANKETS, HATS ETC. ONE BOTTLE GIVES YOU 3 BOTTLES WITHOUT CUTTING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE PRODUCT. HOW TO DILUTE & SAVE $$: SPLIT DETERGENT INTO 3 BOTTLES, ADD 3 CAPFULS OF THIEVES CLEANER TO EACH BOTTLE, TOP WITH H20 – INVERT SLOWLY UNTIL MIXED WELL) OPTIONAL: ADD EXTRA ESSENTIAL OILS TO YOUR BOTTLES OR DROP THEM RIGHT INTO YOUR LAUNDRY SOAP COMPARTMENT EACH WASH. THIEVES, CITRUS FRESH, PURIFICATION & LAVENDER ARE ALL GREAT OPTIONS!

laundry LOVE YOUR FABRIC SOFTENER & AREN'T SURE HOW TO SWAP IT? TRY 1/2 A CUP OF WHITE VINEGAR. WE PROMISE YOUR TOWELS WON'T COME OUT SMELLING LIKE VINEGAR, BUT THEY WILL COME OUT FLUFFY & SOFT AS CAN BE! WANT TO ELIMINATE EXTRA STATIC IN YOUR WASH?

YOUR FIRST BUNDLE IS A MIX AND MATCH OF PRODUCT AND ESSENTIAL OILS AND YOUR SECOND IS STRAIGHT UP OILY. FEEL FREE TO MIX AND MATCH OR HAVE A BUFFET SO TO SPEAK!

outdoors SPF 50 MINERAL SUNSCREEN BY YOUNG LIVING IS THE BEST ALTERNATIVE FOR US AND OUR BABIES. IT'S AN NHP (NATURAL HEALTH PRODUCT) AND IS THE CLEANEST SCREEN FOR YOU. IT'S SILKY, SMOOTH AND DOES NOT LEAVE A WHITE FILM ALL OVER YOUR SKIN THE WAY 'OTHER' NATURAL SUNSCREENS DO. A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY AND IS WATER AND SWEAT RESISTANT. WITH COCONUT OIL, VITAMIN E AND A BOAT LOAD OF ESSENTIAL OILS - THIS WILL BE THE SUNSCREEN OUR FAMILIES USE - ALWAYS!

TIP - MINERAL SCREEN IS MORE WHITE THAN NORMAL BUT IF YOU WARM IT IN YOUR HANDS BEFORE YOU APPLY, IT WON'T LEAVE THAT ZINC LOOKING WHITE FILM ON YOUR SKIN. YOU CAN ALSO ADD IN LAVENDER LOTION (OR ANY OF THE SKIN CARE LOTIONS) WITH YOUR SCREEN AND IT WILL THIN IT OUT. KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO DIMINISH THE POWER OF YOUR SUNSCREEN, SO JUST A SMALL AMOUNT OF LOTION WILL DO.

outdoors WE COVERED HOW TO KEEP OURSELVES PROTECTED AGAINST BUGS, MOSQUITOS AND TICKS - BUT WHAT ABOUT OUR FURRY FAMILY? DOGS SPECIFICALLY! DID YOU KNOW THAT THESE BUGS NEED TO TAKE A BLOOD MEAL TO INGEST YOUR VET MEDICATION AND THEN IT EITHER STERILIZES THEM OR KILLS THEM OFF? THEY WORK REALLY GREAT - BUT WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO REPEL THOSE BUGS BEFORE THEY HAVE A CHANCE TO BITE AND MAKE OUR PUPPIES UNCOMFORTABLE/ITCHY? SURE WOULD! ALL OF THE OILS LISTED IN THIS RECIPE ARE AMAZING AT BUG REPELLING. AND SO ARE THE CARRIER OILS LIKE SESAME, NEEM & CASTOR - SO DON'T SKIP THOSE STEPS! AND I'M BETTING YOU KEEP A BOTTLE OF ACV ON HAND, SO THROW THAT IN TOO. BONUS: ADD 10 DROPS OF KUNZEA OIL TO YOUR SPRAY BOTTLE TOO. KNOWN FOR DETERRING TICKS IN THE AUSSIE BUSHES. WORKERS WILL SLEEP UNDER THESE BUSHES BECAUSE TICKS DON'T GO NEAR THEM. TIP: IF YOU'VE APPLIED A TOPICAL CHEMICAL APPLICATION FROM YOUR VET (ADVANTIX, BRAVECTO, REVOLUTION) PLEASE WAIT AT LEAST ONE WEEK BEFORE USING THIS SPRAY AS THE CHEMICALS CAN REACT TO THE OILS

home fragrance MANUFACTURERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO LIST THEIR FRAGRANCE INGREDIENTS ON PRODUCT LABELS. OFTEN THE WORD FRAGRANCE OR PARFUME IS USED ON A LABEL AND CAN HIDE A COCKTAIL OF INGREDIENTS OF UP TO 3000.

75% OF FRAGRANCE CONTAINS PHTHALATES WHICH HAVE BEEN LINKED TO CANCER, INFERTILITY, PREGNANCY LOSS AND BIRTH DEFECTS. FRAGRANCES ARE COMMON TRIGGERS FOR ASTHMA, MIGRAINES, ALLERGIES AND SINUS ISSUES. FRAGRANCES ARE LINKED TO SO MANY PROFOUND HEALTH RISKS AND AVOIDING THEM IS PROBABLY THE NUMBER ONE CHANGE YOU CAN MAKE TO REDUCE YOUR FAMILY'S RISK OF EXPOSURE TO TOXIC CHEMICALS.

WHERE DO YOU FIND FRAGRANCE IN YOUR HOME? IN ALMOST EVERYTHING! ANYTHING THAT HAS A SCENT TO IT, HAS FRAGRANCE IN IT. EVEN PRODUCTS THAT HAVE A NATURAL SCENT, OR UNSCENTED PRODUCTS HAVE SOMETHING IN THEM (THE MAJORITY AT LEAST).

home fragrance THERE'S A THEME TO THE HOME FRAGRANCE BUNDLE, AND YOU'LL WANT THIS BAD BOY FOR ALL THINGS SPRING AND SUMMER. IT'S PROBABLY THE MOST SPRING-SUMMERY-LEMONY SMELL WE EVER DID SMELL! LUSHIOUS LEMON IS A CRISP, HAPPY, CITRUSY AROMA OF UPLIFTING OILS LIKE LEMON, LEMON MYRTLE, EUCALYPTUS, YLANG YLANG AND SPEARMINT. IT'S AMAZING FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH BECAUSE IT'S SUCH A HAPPY, JOYFUL & UPLIFTING OIL BLEND!

TRUST US WHEN WE SAY YOU NEED TO ADD LUSHIOUS LEMON TO YOUR THIEVES CLEANER SPRAY BOTTLE TOO. IT'LL MAKE THE DAUNTING SPRING CLEANING TASK WAY MORE TOLERABLE. PINK SWEAR.
