50 Uses for Essential Oils
DIY BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Let’s start out with beauty because I don’t know about you, but I must spend hundreds of dollars on all sorts of products that claim to be “wrinkle reducing”. My biggest worry is that I have no idea what types of chemicals are in those products. I’ve quickly learned over the last couple of years that natural is so much better for my skin and especially for my girls. Here are just some of my favorite beauty DIYs using essential oils.

DIY Health Remedies
Next up should definitely be health since that seems to be the point this day in the age. I’ve grown to understand that what we put into our bodies makes a huge difference. Now, don’t get me wrong, I definitely add my fair share of sugar, but I’m working to consume more natural products. It’s important to note that not all essential oils are created equally. I only trust Young Living Essential Oils because they are therapeutic grade so it’s important that you research your oils before purchasing.
