Take Advantage of the Outdoors
Summer has arrived and it’s time to head outdoors. Poolside parties, birthday celebrations and picnics invite us to soak up every ounce of daylight.
With a few essential oils and some novel tips, you can prepare yourself and your friends for the perfect outdoor experience.
“Insects will be repelled from your garden - in a standard size spray bottle, fill almost full of water and then add enough Thieves cleaner to color the water. You will know you put enough Thieves cleaner in the bottle when the insects scatter when you spray your vegetables and such. I grow tomatoes - in Florida - and no worms and no aphids and the grasshoppers leave too. This spray also works on rose bushes and squash plants. Then wipe down your kitchen countertops with the same spray. Happy Oiling.” Karen VanSchenck

When you come in out of the garden, remember washing your hands are a great defense to prevent infection.
Defending you and your family from germs can be a full time job. According to many health experts, your first line of defense is handwashing, and according to the Mayo Clinic, hand washing is a simple habit that can help keep you healthy.
Young Living makes products so pure, you can eat them. All three soaps use the power of Thieves essential oils to clean, yet they are gentle to the skin. Thieves Foaming Hand Soap, Thieves Waterless, Hand Purifier, and Thieves Cleansing Soap are effective, non-toxic, germ-busters you will want to stock up on. This personal testimonial comes from Leslie Stoddard of Idaho Falls, Idaho, "Many times when we have experienced symptoms of a cold or flu virus beginning, we have used the oils and our symptoms have vanished quickly and do not return."
