So, my family has been using Young Living essential oils for several years now.  It has become so much a part of my daily life that I don't even think of them anymore, it's just become part of my routines.  I thought I would share what I use during a typical day.

I have made roll-on bottles with some essential oil and coconut oil.  Diluting the oils helps the body absorb the essential oils better and helps the therapeutic benefits last longer.

Morning

When I get up, I apply Joy over my heart because it helps uplift your mood.  Juniper goes over my bladder for support.   

We have a diffuser that automatically diffuses Thieves every 20 minutes.  This helps to clean the air in our home.

I have started oil pulling to help pull toxins out of my mouth.  I use this recipe with my Young Living essential oils at least three times per week.  I drink a glass of water as soon as I go out in the kitchen and then oil pull (swish around in my mouth) while I get breakfast ready, pack lunches, empty the dishwasher, change out clothes from washer to dryer, etc.

Another great Young Living product to try is Ningxia Red.  It's made with wolfberries and is loaded with antioxidants.  My family takes a 1 oz shot of NingXia Red every morning.

I brush my teeth with Thieves toothpaste. I have tried all of the different varieties and the whitening version is my fav. I also use the Thieves floss and mouthwash. With the mouthwash, I dilute it half with distilled water because it is so strong. This way, I get two bottles out of one!

Throughout the Day

I wear diffuser jewelry almost every day.  I make my own to save money.  If you’re not into DIY jewelry, check out my page on Facebook here. I use different oils based on my needs that day. Lately I have been using White Angelica because it helps block negative energies.  Joy is another good oil to wear on jewelry.

I diffuse Stress Away for obvious reasons….. Hello life with three children!  When we start homeschooling, I have a spray that I use with a blend called Clarity.  My daughter uses a roller blend that I made with Peppermint, Lemon, and Brain Power essential oils and fractionated coconut oil. 

I drink water with citrus oils in it throughout the day, such as Tangerine, Grapefruit, or Orange.  I apply Stress Away directly to my wrists throughout the day during intense moments of stress. Remember, life with three children?! 

When cooking, I use essential oils in place of herbs and spices sometimes. Rosemary, Basil and Thyme are the most common.

Personal care products I either make using Shea butter and coconut oil or order from Young Living.  Shampoo, conditioner, soap, face wash, and acne cream are a few examples.

Evening

At night, I like to diffuse Cedarwood and Lavender to help me calm down and relax.  I make a Lavender spray that I use on linens in the bedroom.  I alternate between Surrender, Rutavala and Tranquil before bed, applied to the back of the neck and bottoms of feet.  I put Valor on my jawline.  Lavender and Valerian go on my big toes.  A relaxing cream is applied to my feet (search for bedtime Magnesium lotion).  I use a lotion to moisturize my skin. I also apply Progessence Plus on the sides of my ankles. It helps balance hormones in women. (There is one specifically created for men called Shutran.)  

Here's an overview of the kit and some more ideas of what to try:
