Oh Baby!!

So after celebrating at a close friends baby shower on the weekend, I thought I would share some exciting information you may not have heard about yet.........Young Living have a NEW line of baby care products available called....... Seedlings. 

These products are free from harmful ingredients and infused with essential oils 

The seedlings line is gentle, plant based and was created to carefully comfort the littlest members of the family and give parents peace of mind.

Now I don't have a baby at home to pamper with these products, but that hasn't stopped me ordering them!!!
I keep some baby wipes in my glove box for on the go cleaning and I have just ordered the linen spray to spray on my pillows at night to help me get an even better night sleep. Plus now I know exactly what to buy for baby shower gifts without having to worry if I am buying something that isn't safe.......You heard about the J&J lawsuit where they found the baby powder contained cancer-causing asbestos right? They make products for babies yet put toxic ingredients in them. The world has gone mad!!!

That's why I love buying everything I can for my own personal care and for around home from Young Living because I trust the company has my best interests and health in  mind when they create every product.

The Seedlings line not only has the Baby Wipes and Linen Spray but it also has Baby Oil, Baby Lotion, no tears formula Baby Wash & Shampoo plus Diaper Cream.

Our skin is our largest organ and we absorb what we put on it very quickly. If you buy your baby products from a company you trust then you can have complete peace of mind when it comes to taking the best possible care of your baby's health without spending hours researching and reading labels in the supermarket and worrying about cancer causing ingredients.

Give the perfect baby shower gift with the help of Young Living Essential Oils & the Seedlings line or swap over your current products if you prefer to use only the best, plant based products for your baby.

Non Toxic & seriously YUMMY smelling Bath Scrub Recipe

I normally just use Thieves Household Cleaner in a spray bottle with water to clean most areas of my home but there are some spots in the home that need that extra bit of scrubbing.......like the bath tub.

I kept putting this job off all last week but tonight I want to soak in the bath with a Stress Away Bath Bomb so it needed a clean first!!!

To make this yummy smelling & effective bath scrub, I just mixed together;
1/2 C Bicarb soda
5 Drops Lemon Oil 
1 T white vinegar +
1T Thieves Household Cleaner (or enough to make a paste) in a glass bowl.

Starting with liquids first and then slowly adding the bicard and stirring until mixed into a paste. 
Store in glass jar with lid until ready to use or start cleaning the tub straight away.  (You can double the ingredients if you want to have enough for cleaning tile grout as well, or you can also use it on the oven as a safe oven cleaner)


This soft scrub leaves the tub sparkling clean but also leaves the entire bathroom smelling of lemon, clove, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary. It's a beautiful sweet and spicy aroma that will support your immune system as you clean, instead of damaging your health breathing in the chemical vapors of conventional cleaners.

I just used a soft non scratch sponge to apply the Thieves paste and clean the tub, then rinsed it all off with warm water and I was done. Quick and easy. My favourite!!

You can save money using this cleaner and be kind to the planet at the same time. 
For example,  it will cost you just $1.16 to make a full 500ml spray bottle of all purpose cleaner using 15mls of the cleaner mixed with water.
How amazing is that?! 
Cheap, safe, effective and  earth friendly.

**It is alwast best to do a small patch test when using new cleaning products, especially on natural materials like granite or wood.

Step away from the antibacterial soaps

Step away from the antibacterial soaps
Antibacterial soaps and hand sanitisers are not the best way to keep you and your family safe from bugs and becoming ill......in fact, they may even be dangerous.

Studies have been revealing the dangers of antibacterial soaps for years and in 2005 researchers found that the antibacterial agent known as triclosan reacts with chlorinated water to produce chloroform, a known carcinogen..... Yikes!!!! Plus triclosan is also a known endocrine disruptor but is still found in everyday products like soaps, cosmetics & toothpaste. 

You've probably heard about the overuse of antibiotics, which is said to be causing the rise of antibiotic-resistant "superbugs" well antibiotic products have the potential to do the same thing and create antibiotic-resistant bacteria.........that's a bit scary!!

Now I have said it before and I will say it again, and again, and again.......just because something is on the shelf at the shops available for us to purchase, doesn't mean it is safe for us to use!!

So what is a safe alternative?...... we need to wash our hands and protect ourselves from getting ill right?... Right!

Ok, so I use a essential oil infused foaming hand soap made from Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Rosemary, Lemon, Eucalyptus Radiata & Orange essential oils at home, and I carry the Thieves waterless hand purifier with me in my handbag to cleanse and purify my hands on the go. It's safe and effective plus it leaves my hands smelling like peppermint (yum) & not chemicals.




We also use the Thieves Aromabright Toothpaste in  my house, because would you want that nasty triclosan stuff in your mouth getting absorbed straight into your blood stream after reading what it does?...... hmmmmm no thank you!! 

It took a few days to get used to a natural toothpaste but now I am hooked. Plus I even managed to convert Gav (my farmer husband) into using it after only a couple weeks. I feel good about making better choices that effect both of us and our health in such a positive way (insert pat on back here) and it is easy for anyone else to do the same with the range of products from Young Living Essential Oils.

You can take a look at the entire Bath and Body range and Oral Care on my website and start switching to plant based, essential oil infused products that are safe for you and your family to use.

Ditch & Switch - Under the kitchen sink

Years ago it didn't even occur to me to be worried about the ingredients of the dish washing detergent or powders I was using. "Who cares" is what I would have said. "It just washed the dishes right?".... well, not really.

We are washing the dishes and then that residue dries on the plates, and cutlery.
We use those plates and cutlery again (or at least that's how it works in my house) and our beautiful home cooked food then absorbs that residue..... then we eat it!! So we are actually eating our detergents in small amounts at a time.......yummo.

Ditching the nasty cleaners and switching them for plant based cleaners to wash our dishes is a much better idea!
That way we are just eating plants and not anything nasty.

The problem with buying your detergents from the big supermarkets is that even if the label says ALL  NATURAL INGREDIENTS, it's usually BS!! Yep I said BS!!

I won't name names, but previous to me discovering Thieves Cleaner and then the essential oil infused Thieves Dish Soap, I was using a dish soap labeled as all natural, plant based, earth friendly blah blah blah that I got from the supermarket, but when I researched the ingredients, it wasn't plant based or safe  AT ALL!!

It included a heap of ingredients I didn't recognise as plants plus it had SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) a synthetic detergent used to make bubbles. Also used in car wash soaps, shampoo, engine degreaser and floor cleaners.  It is a corrosive and used as a pesticide, it causes skin irritation and is linked to endocrine disruption and organ toxicity. The really sad thing is, it's also found in mainstream toothpastes. How disgusting!!

Then this "natural" soap also contained FRAGRANCE..........unless it's pure essential oils then 'fragrance' is not a natural ingredient and it's also linked to many horrible things like birth defects, reduced fertility, behavior problems, asthma, allergies and cancer. Just because something is available on the shelf to buy, doesn't mean it is safe for us to use.

So what do I use now?....... This is what it looks like under my kitchen sink.



I use the Thieves Dish Soap and make my own dish washing powder with Thieves Cleaner and lemon essential oil. I tried the tablets but lost the patience to keep making them. Powder is much easier and works a treat!!
Nothing under here is a danger to anyone. It's all plant based cleaners, some vinegar and castile soap. That big bottle of Thieves Cleaner has lasted me almost a year, it is super concentrated and I clean every surface in my home with it, including windows and the toilets. 
It works and it smells amazing!!!

If you have the think dirty app, give your dish soap a cleaners a scan and see how safe they are.
A low rating of 1 = safe/green
A rating of 10 = toxic/unsafe

The Thieves Dish Soap isn't on the app (because no barcode) but someone did the research for us already and went through each ingredient individually and all 14 ingredients got a rating 1. 

What does this mean?.......It's pretty damn amazing!!! Not only is it safe but it works!! 






Young Living have everything you need to make your green cleaning journey easier, ditching the toxic stuff and switching it out for plant based formulas that work.

There is  even a Healthy Homes Starter Kit available that includes the Dish Soap, Household Cleaner, Toothpaste, Dental Floss, Mouthwash & Hand Soap + it comes with a diffuser and 6 essential oils including the Lemon.
It's only $289 for the lot and you get a wholesale account with it saving you 24% off retail for life! That's amazing value!!!

The cleaner is super concentrated and can be used all over the house. You wont have to buy another cleaner for months!
