Loving essential oils means that you want to share them with the whole family – right down to young children and babies. Essential oils can be a fantastic resource for your little ones, but it’s important to remember that babies’ systems are highly sensitive and some very specific safety guidelines apply.

Our active family is constantly on the go. Two weeks ago we have started using this combo of PanAway & V-6 oil for a massage after our workouts to relieve sore muscles, deep tissue pain and to speed up the recovery.
It works really well and even my husband has started using it after his long runs.
Young Living Essential Oils is the ONLY direct-selling company producing Therapeutic-Grade essential oils in Canada with the ability to make legal claims about essential oils from a symptom relief standpoint.
Young Living Canada has registered 19 of their essential oils so far, there are more to come, which can be used for a variety of symptoms from colds/coughs to skin irritation/cuts/burns to joint/muscle pain to digestive discomfort, eczema/dermatitis and more! These oils are registered as NHPs or Natural Health Products.
Check out this video for more information, and if you aren’t a Young Living member yet, ask yourself why! Because I seriously don’t have a clue what people do without essential oils.
I LOVE my oils.
We use them every single day.
We are in that season again. The days are getting longer, it’s warmer outside but it also means the mosquitoes are back as well.
We are an outdoor family and spend a lot of time outside; not just hiking or walking our dog but also exercising. On Wednesday while I was waiting for my son to finish his MTB practice in the woods, there were tons of mosquitoes flying around at the parking lot. A friend of mine offered me her OFF bug spray but I got stung anyway and all the time on our way back, I couldn’t smell anything else than the bug spray. So the first thing, when we got home that night, was to look at home for a small glass bottle and a recipe for a natural bug spray.
The next day it was another practice and I was biking in the woods as well. This time I took my new spray to test it out. I was pleasantly surprised, I didn’t got stung once and I loved the smell. Not mentioning that there are no chemicals or anything toxic in the spray.
So here is a recipe to our homemade bug spray:
- 1 oz glass bottle
- pinch of salt
- water
- essential oils: citronella, peppermint, lemongrass, tea tree, lavender, lemon
Put a pinch of salt on the bottom of the bottle, add your essential oils (I did 3-5 drops of each mentioned above), fill with water and you are done. The salt helps the oils to mix better with water. You can use distilled water, I use just filtered tap water, works just fine.
I use Young Living Essential Oils (my personal preference) because I know they are safe to use on skin, they are pure high quality oils.
The cute label on the bottle was made by my little girl. I just love the cute personal touch!
As I mentioned earlier this week, Health Canada approved 19 Young Living essential oils which are now registered as Natural Health Products (NHPs). These 19 oils can be used topically or inhaled as a natural supplement to reduce and relieve symptoms of everyday ailments.

We are slowly but surely trying them out one by one and already loving the results. My headache was gone within a few minutes yesterday after applying lavender on my temples. I would take oils over the pill anytime.
If you have any question, please let me know. I would love to help you to discover the benefits of going natural.
Who doesn’t like a gentle natural way of skin care. This is a re-post from Young Living’s blog .
When it’s time to recover from a long day, it’s best to climb into bed with a fresh face. Scrubbing with ineffective or harsh removers can do more damage than good though, especially near the sensitive eye area where the skin is thinner and more prone to fine lines and irritation.
Instead of harsh makeup removers, opt for gentle DIY makeup remover pads infused with Lavender essential oil. You’ll know exactly what goes into this formula, plus you’ll get the benefits of Lavender’s relaxing aroma. Use the instructions below to add them to your nighttime routine.

Last week, Health Canada approved 19 Young Living’s essential oils which are now registered as Natural Health Products (NHPs). What it means for us? It means we have a choice. You can grab a pill and just go with it, or you can use a natural product to reduce your symptoms and get a relieve from headaches or any other everyday ailments.
What is an NHP?
According to Health Canada’s website, “Natural health products (NHPs) are naturally occurring substances that are used to restore or maintain good health. They are often made from plants, but can also be made from animals, microorganisms and marine sources. They come in a wide variety of forms like tablets, capsules, tinctures, solutions, creams, ointments and drops.
