Oils 101



Hi..this is our little oil house holding all our little bottles of wellness.
So here are some questions I had and you may too!

1. How do you use oils?  Our family uses oils daily for immune + emotional support and for sleep. AHHH good sleep is important to us! My favorite combo in the diffuser is Lavender + Cedarwood on our nightstands. I love to freshen up the kitchen after cooking with citrus fresh. We diffuse thieves and purification when there is sickness at school to get rid of all the germies. I put oils on my kiddos feet, spine or wrists and the combo varies depending why they need the oils. I've made bug spray, allergy bomb, achy muscle creams, every roller combo I can think of and I use thieves cleaner everywhere in my house. It's in a pretty amber glass bottle in my kitchen that I purchased from Amazon

2. What should I purchase to get started? I would dive in with the 'premium' starter kit for $165. You get 12 of the most commonly used oils + a diffuser of your choice, a lifetime wholesale membership (24% off retail pricing where you can shop as little or as often as you'd like!) and access to our oily community on Facebook. The starter kit is the best value and provides you with everything you need to get started as soon as your kit arrives.

3. How do you put oils on?  
NEAT - this means you apply a drop of oil on your skin directly. I usually apply everything "neat" on myself, but you'll want to use a carrier oil for your kiddos. I love to use fractioned coconut oil (amazon) , grape seed oil or olive oil. 
DIGEST - you can digest oils like peppermint for an upset stomach or lemon with water to detox. They even make veggie capsules for you to put drops of oil in and then swallow. Like the antibiotic bomb! 
DIFFUSE - this is the most popular way to use oils.  You put oils in your diffuser with water and push start. Have you seen the best diffuser made by young living? Its on my wish list - the Aria. It is a showstopper for sure. The aria plays music, comes with a remote to turn on and off and sits pretty! Its $100 off when you purchase it with your kit - wish I did this.

4. Do I have to order more oils monthly or sell them? NO YOU DO NOT have to do anything else with young living unless you choose to. Your kit can be a one-time purchase and you get a whole sale membership giving you 24% off if you should choose to purchase more oils in the future. 

4. Where do you get your carrier oils, rollers, spray bottles, etc. Amazon Check out my favorites HERE!

It's been over a week since I had them done and they look new!

5 ITEMS to Refresh your LIVING ROOM

   








































Last week I shared
on Instagram stories sources that can freshen up your living room. I believe these items will help freshen up your space and give it a whole new look.  Again the 5 items that will freshen up your space are a ....

+RUG
+PLANT
+PILLOW
+LIGHT
+ACCENT CHAIR




1. RUG

If you choose one item from this list - I'd go with a rug.  A new rug will give you new colors or textures bringing in that cozy vibe to your living space. Most living rooms require an 8 x 10 or 9 x 12 rug for your living room furniture to be placed on. 
The rug alone will transform your space! 

Here are some of my favorites..

Union Rustic Lederer Off-White Area Rug & Reviews | Wayfair
nuLoom Moroccan Rug























      Loloi Rugs Emory EB-09 Rugs | Rugs Direct
                        Loloi Rug


    
                 Lulu + Georgia



    
                      Ruggable



     
                      All Modern


Clair Southwestern Gray Area Rug
                         our living room Rug


Here is a link to all my favorite RUGS on Pinterest.



2. PLANTS


Next, add a plant to your living space. Plants give off oxygen, which cleans your air and adds color  to your living room. A plant can be used as decor to fill in a corner or dead space in your living room. I like to put my plants next to a media console, by a window or my favorite chair. Then, put your plant in a basket with a liner or a trendy planter.

Best places to buy live plants  IKEA, Amazon, Home Depot or Lowes
and faux plants IKEA, World Market or Target

Here are some of my favorite plants!

The easiest plant to add in your living room is a snake plant. You can easily find these year round at Home Depot or Lowes.

Don't forget to pair it with a cute planter or basket.

3. PILLOWS

I love to change up our pillows for each season. This is way to give your couch or loveseat a new look. Check out H&M, Target, World Market, IKEA for some affordable options. I recently grabbed one from my favorite small shop the Kaekoo Shop.

Here are some current favorites...

4. LIGHTING

I like to add a floor lamp or plug in sconce to a living space. You can put a floor lamp or sconce on either side of your couch or create a corner nook with your favorite chair.

Here are a few lights I've been eyeing lately....

5. ACCENT CHAIR

Ok this is the fun one + add an accent chair to your living room to most definitely freshen up your space!

If you have a neutral couch opt for a leather, patterned or textured chair.
Then vice versa..
If you have a leather sofa pair it with a neutral chair.

Here are some accent chairs I'm loving...

for other rooms in the house each month.

Kitchen Refresh

Our kitchen today..


When we built our house we always said "we can always change the non-permanent things". So, when I first chose items for our kitchen in 2015 I kept it basic and chose items with three boys in mind.

 
   2016


Recently...
I've been slowly adding items to our kitchen to give it a little refresh!


L I N K S


I waited for all of these things to go on sale and I signed up for their emails to get an additional 10 or 15 percent off.

AND now I'm saving my pennies for these pendants!



or 


this similar West Elm pendant

and if I ever find something similar to these 
Rejuventation pendants for less, I'll probably go that route.

That's it for now on our "Kitchen Refresh"!
