Winter Wellness. CLAIR BOONE
Nice to meet
Cozy fires, warm blankets, tall boots, sweaters, fun scarves, and the cool, crisp air. I love winter for all those things but not the sicknesses that seem to follow. As Mama Bear to 3 littles, I was on the hunt for natural products that would work without side effects.
ya!
I thought every winter had to involve sicknesses. I thought every winter was a 4 month spell of colds and sniffles. What I didn't realize was that cutting out processed foods, minimizing sugar, adding in anti-oxidants, vitamins, and immune boosting essential oils would mean way less sicknesses and way happier kids. If you're overhwlemed with your to-do list, let me share with you simple steps you can take to a healthier lifestyle this winter. I pinky promise they won't take much and you'll reap the benefits of health all season long.

Friend - have you ever bought gas station coffee?
Sure it was coffee but I doubt it tasted like a nicely brewed pumpkin spice latte from your favorite local coffee shop! It may have said "coffee", smelled like coffee, and even looked like coffee but when you tasted a drop you probably knew: this was not the amazing brewed coffee you were looking for. It's the same with oils. There's actually nothing governing what goes into them and consequently in an effort to make them cheaper and faster companies are cropping up and selling "gas station oils." Did you know it takes 5,000 pounds of rose petals to produce 1 Kilo (2.2 pounds) of valuable Rose essential oil? If you're buying it for gas station prices the chances are there's little oil in there. That's why we only trust and recommend Young Living. I've used it on my 4 year old daughter since she was 3 hours old (yup - that's not a typo!) and trust their quality. They have a Seed to Seal promise and its three pillars—Sourcing, Science, and Standards and I've never seen them compromise. While I'm not a medical professional and am not here to treat, diagnose, or cure you, I am a Mama. A Mama on a mission to share the chemical free lifetsyle we've enjoyed for years with anyone who's willing to listen!
All The
seveihT Can you make me a pinky promise you won't go this winter without getting Thieves in your house? Promise? K! We love Thieves but we really love it during the winter and diffuse it everyday, roll it on often, and add it to hand soaps and other recipes. Remember - consistency is key so it's better to use it all season long than just when you don't feel great.
p: i T The best value is to get the Thieves Pro Essential Reward kit.

Balms
Toxins Hiding in Your Lipbalm
piL
Petrolatum (petroleum jelly, mineral oil) Petrolatum is made from petroleum – yes, what you put in your car – that has been refined. It creates an airtight barrier on the skin which can act as a penetration enhancer. This means absorption of any of the toxic ingredients below will be increased. Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) Health concerns linked to these chemicals include endocrine disruption, organ-system toxicity, developmental and reproductive toxicity, cancer and respiratory irritation. Parabens. Parabens are potential endocrine disruptors due to their ability to mimic estrogen. Fragrance and/or Flavor. These terms should read “hidden chemicals”. These fragrances often contain high levels of phthalates. Phthalates are strong hormone disruptors linked to decreased sperm count in men and reduced female fertility. Phthalates can also cause a worsening of allergy and asthma symptoms.
Young Living’s lip balms are different. Enjoy smooth lips without questionable ingredients. Vitamin E, jojoba oil, and wolfberry seed oil help keep lips moist and hydrated, while the exclusive blend of essential oils offers unique benefits found in Lavender, Grapefruit, Cinnamint..

What
Supp?
Vitamin C. Vitamin C is one of the most wellknown vitamin supplements. This powerful antioxidant cannot be produced by the body which means you must get it from your diet or additional supplementation. While Vitamin C has not been shown to reduce the risk of getting a cold, it can reduce the duration and severity of colds. Young Living’s Super C™ chewable tablets contain 250 % of the recommended daily amount of vitamin C per serving! Super C also combines pure Orange essential oil with a proprietary blend of camu camu, acerola, cherry, and rose hip fruit powder to create a powerful, immunesupporting supplement. Together, these premium ingredients deliver desirable polyphenols, carotenoids, and optimal amounts of vitamin C in a convenient chewable tablet.
health tuG Good health starts in our gut. While my family might not eat the healthiest food all the time, I find supporting our gut is easy by taking Probiotics. Probiotics are great for promoting winter wellness because they promote healthy digestion, support gut health, and help maintain normal intestinal function for overall support of a healthy immune system. Many people eat too much food and too much sugar around the holidays which contributes to sickness. By being proactive about probiotics we can lessen the load.
We take Life 9 and our kiddos take MightyPro.
What
Supp?
Vitamin D + Omegagize Vitamin D is involved in many cellular processes in your body including immune activity. During the wintertime, most people get less exposure to sunlight which can cause the body’s natural defenses to weaken. Add Vitamin D-rich foods to your diet like salmon or trout. Supplement with Vitamin D and Omegagize. The latter is a great supplement that provides 120% of the recommended daily value!
Life 9 + MightyPro Did you know that 70-80% of your immune system is housed in your gut? Healthy gut microflora can make a huge difference as you are trying to decrease your body’s vulnerability to viruses. Probiotics are microorganisms that maintain and restore beneficial bacteria to your digestive tract.
What
Supp?
Zinc + Immupro. One of the most important immunesupporting minerals is Zinc. The body requires Zinc to ensure proper development of immune cells and to maintain many other physiological functions. Feel a cold coming on? Some studies suggest that supplementation of Zinc within 24 hours can shorten the length of your cold. Enjoy Zinc-rich foods like meat, shellfish, legumes, and seeds to make sure your body is getting enough of this mineral. Young Living’s Immupro provides 45% of the recommended daily value.
Magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral that is involved in hundreds of processes and functions in your body. It’s relation to inflammation and the body’s immune response alone emphasize the importance of eating Magnesium-rich foods. Some great sources are pumpkin seeds, spinach, dark chocolate, swiss chard, and black beans. We love Super Cal Plus.
Elderberry
Syrup. Ingredients
3½ cups water 2/3 cup dried elderberries (or 1 1/3 cups fresh or frozen) 1 drop Cinnamon Vitality 2 drops Thieves Vitality 1 cup raw honey
Directions Add the water, elderberries into a pan and bring to a boil and then cover and reduce to a simmer for about 45 minutes until the liquid has reduced by almost half.

Store in the fridge in a glass airtight container and take 1 TSP daily for its immune boosting properties.
