So, who is ready for some outside time??  Here in the midwest, we have not had much of a chance with this crazy weather, but now that's it's almost the Fourth of July, it's coming!  

You all know I am not a fan of commercial insect repellants, and I love making my own DIY essential oils based one, not to mention the amazing one Young Living sells! 

But what about trying to keep insects out of your picnic/get together space?  My husband used to spray the yard with the toxic soup, and it was so BAD, I had to close every window and nobody would even try to go in the hard for at least an hour.  That is no longer allowed around here!  Putting Purification Blend in the fountains helps and also this super sweet idea for a DIY floating candle using Young Living Citronella!

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Take any glass vase (Thrift Centers have them by the dozens!!) and throw some sand, sea glass, glass pebbles, shells - anything you want (or nothing!) and fill with water. 
  • Add 1 tsp Witch Hazel
  •  Add 20 drops YOUNG LIVING Citronella
  • Place an unscented floating candle on top
  • Light and enjoy!
This will emit citronella for hours!  I love candle light so I made up two of them for outings last summer and they worked well!!  Since there is alot of Citronella in that water, I covered mine and placed them in the fridge.  I pulled them out and placed a fresh candle in each time along with about 5 more drops of Cintronella.  So fun!!  

For more outdoor enjoyment, here is my DIY "Outdoor Spray"



And Don't forget, Young Living has an amazing one too!  



















Stay safe and enjoy the outdoors in comfort!

Hello!



I used to feel completely lost when it came to natural wellness. How do you even find alternative therapies? How do you know what's actually safe? How do you use something the right way when nobody taught you? And how do you stand firm in your choices when everyone around you reaches for a prescription the second something goes wrong?

On top of that, I had no idea how deeply my environment was affecting my family. The products sitting under my sink. The air we were breathing. All those tiny, everyday exposures that don't seem like much until you realize they're adding up. It felt overwhelming. Honestly, it felt a little frightening.

Then I found a community that had been thriving for years—but somehow I never knew it existed. And everything shifted. Here were real people with a real passion for how our bodies are designed to heal. Scientists and practitioners who backed up what they said with research. People who cared enough to walk alongside me and show me it was possible.

That was 2014. Since then, I've learned what works. I've tested it. I've lived it. And now I help people who are exactly where I was—hungry to learn, ready to make changes, but needing someone to show them that there's another way. Someone who believes in them.

If that's you, I'd love to walk beside you too. Reach out and let's talk about where you want to start.
