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.

You can check out the Natural Remedies Guide page here where are all the oils listed. I will be doing more detailed post about these oils soon. But for now, here is Young Living’s statement:
We believe that life should be full of fulfillment and empowerment. The best way to get there? Through everyday decisions. We’ve seen how consistent, positive choices can have a dramatic effect on overall happiness and well-being. That’s why we strive to take small steps, every day, toward a more balanced life. For us, essential oils are a simple and natural way to get there. With these potent resources, millions support their health and enhance their homes through the pure power of nature.
Looking for a natural alternative? Young Living Essential Oils empowers you to dodge harmful chemicals, enrich your life, and reclaim your natural radiance. Young Living Canada’s Natural Health Products provide natural options to help support everyday ailments. Not only does Young Living provide 100% pure, quality essential oils, but we’re giving you choices. Try any of the oils below for the corresponding ailment for a natural alternative.
So now it’s up to you what choice you are going to make. I know which way my family will go.
We are several days into spring and I have to say, that this past winter was the easiest health-wise for our family. I believe that Young Living played a huge part of this staying-healthy success.
I haven’t been sick the whole winter, my husband the same. Our son got a cold which we treated over a period of two days without any pills, just using essential oils, and the same with my daughter. We are an outdoor people. All of us are cyclists and runners and go outside rain or shine, freezing cold or a sunny day, taking daily long walks with our hyperactive dog. We went for several hikes in a snow and biked at -4C. Our immunity system is stronger than ever.
We switched all soaps in our house to more natural ones – no more dry and cracked hands.
We switched to natural cleaning products – no more cleaning bathrooms with gloves on and having headaches afterwards.
We use natural toothpastes and shampoos which don’t include any harsh chemicals.
We use homemade roll ons which include essential oils to boost our immunity system and are staying on top of prevention.
We relax with amazing calming scents of essential oils in our diffuser.
We switched to more natural ways of living. It’s healthier and it’s fun to make your own products (which is also cheaper than buying the chemical ones in the store).
Thank you, Young Living, for being a huge part of our healthy everyday lives.
I think I don’t have to tell you how excited I am every month when my monthly order from Young Living comes in. I’m still at the beginning of my journey of switching to more natural products so it’s been a lot of firsts in the last couple of weeks for our family. This photo above shows my order for March – two toothpastes, V-6 vegetable oil, Mirah (shaving oil – it’s amazing, btw) and some oils. So let’s talk about the two toothpastes today.
If you do your own research about ingredients of conventional toothpaste, you will find that not everything included in it is good for your health. Some of the information about triclocan and fluoride are actually quite alarming! So yes, it’s up to us what we choose to use. And our family choice are these two above. We have been using these toothpaste for almost three weeks and everyone loves them. Yes, they taste different than a “regular” toothpaste, don’t foam as much (which none of us has found to be a problem) and they leave your mouth feeling so clean!
Thieves AromaBright Toothpaste
This premium, all-natural toothpaste is made with pure essential oils, including the cleansing benefits of Thieves essential oil blend. Its safe and effective formula provides a fortress of support for healthy looking gums, clean teeth, and a confident smile. It is the optimal choice for health-minded consumers. Essential oil favorites such as Peppermint, Spearmint, and Cinnamon Bark also give this toothpaste a sweet mint flavor, meaning you don’t sacrifice anything with AromaBright. You’ll ditch the ingredients you don’t want and keep all the results you do: a deep clean, bright teeth, and fresh breath.
Dentarome Ultra Toothpaste
Thieves® Dentarome Ultra Toothpaste is an advanced formula of all-natural ingredients that gently cleans and whitens your teeth while harnessing the power of pure Thieves essential oil blend for fresh breath. Dentarome Ultra is preferred by those concerned with appearance of whiter teeth. Dentarome Ultra also has a great taste. Its formula includes Young Living’s Thieves blend—with essential oils such as Clove, Cinnamon Bark, and Lemon—along with Peppermint, Thyme, and Wintergreen for a fresh, minty flavor.
Well, I don’t know about you, but we are switching toothpastes to more natural ones. The basics of a healthy smile is a mix of proper technique of brushing, flossing, right toothpaste and avoiding sugar as much as you can.
