My Favorite Summer Time Diffuser Blends

Hello Friends!

I wanted to jump on today to chat about essential oils. I was introduced to oils about 18 months ago. To be honest, I was a bit of a skeptic at first regarding essential oils. Turns out, I just didn’t know enough yet. I am a big research girl and giving myself time to learn about them first was essential. Over time, I learned about the benefits of essential oils in terms of health, anxiety, home, beauty, and more and quickly started to incorporate them in many ways throughout our home!

First off, if you are not familiar with essential oils, I wanted to start off by explaining what they are. Essential oils are compounds extracted from plants to capture their flavors, scents, and overall beneficial properties. The compounds are essential to the plants health. An easy way to think of it, they are essentially the immune system of the plant.

My initial reason for starting essential oils was to help with anxiety and sleep. If you have been following along with me for a bit, you know that I struggle with anxiety and I am always looking for a natural remedy to help with this. And guys, I was blown away at how much better my sleep was once I started diffusing Lavender and Cedarwood at night! The perfect combo for a good night’s sleep.

However, another important thing I have learned is that not every oil is created equal. If you have not dived into the oil world, Young Living is an amazing company to start with. Many of the cheaper versions that can be found at places such as Target or Whole foods are filled with mostly fillers and not the actual oil. They could have one drop of oil from an unknown source and 100 drops of filler and fluff and still be called “natural” and an “essential oil”.  Young Living provides pure and authentic oils. As a mother, safety is such a critical factor. Young Living has amazing quality standards. The company has been around since 1993 and they have a seed to seal promise where nothing touches the oils from the time the oil starts out as a seed until the time it is sealed in the bottle!  Click here to learn more about Young Living’s Quality Standards. Young Living has farms scattered around the world in places such as South America, Asia, Africa, Europe, and more.
