Did you know that the Outdoor Blend is actually meant to be a bug repellant?
In fact, that same product in the USA is called "Insect Repellent."

We love it - it is so effective and so safe for my whole family.
And we often use it after a bug bite as well (if we forgot to apply and the little chompers got us).
However, we would love it even more if it were a spray that we could easily apply.
So scrolling the newsfeed the other day, I happened upon this awesome recipe to make it a spray and thought I would share it with you as well!
Bug Spray Recipe
Pour 1/3 of the Outdoor blend into a spray bottle (I'm thinking a 4oz, but I might go bigger)
Add 20 drops citronella
20 drops Lemongrass
20 drops Eucalyptus (they showed Euc Radiata)
Top with water
Shake and spray!
I would still be wary of spraying it on clothing as the Outdoor blend is set in a base of a fatty oil that will leave oil marks.
Let me know how it goes for you!
Can I let you in on a little secret??
Did you know that there is a huge difference between Young Living® supplements and regular store-bought supplements?
Young Living® supplements have an 80% absorption rate compared to conventional supplements, which only have a 30% absorption rate! That is a whopping 50% increase! That means you get way more bang for your buck and the supplements will be that much more effective when you switch to YL supplements!
Are you wondering how it works? Young Living® supplements are infused with essential oils which help increase the assimilation (absorption) of other nutrients on a cellular level and they help remove waste from the cells, which helps detoxify them, in turn causing the cells to function at a higher level.
So... the bottom line is that you should 100% be taking Young Living’s supplements over your store-bought ones! For example, swap out your probiotic and try Life 9 Probiotic from YL instead.
Login to the YL website and search “supplement” in the search bar to see what supplements are available similar to what you already take. If you are having trouble finding something comparable, hit reply and I can help!
I have a great resource to share with you that highlights some of these Unsung Heros!
I used to struggle getting to sleep until I started these three simple steps.
Step 1 - get to bed between 9:30pm and 11pm. This really makes a difference!
Step 2 - keep a note pad near my bed so I could write down any last minute to-do items
Step 3 - apply RutaVala or Tranquil on the back of my neck and the neck of my big toes!
If you have any questions, let me know!
In the meantime, sleep well!

First up, Purification is one that I use on my dryer balls, in stinky shoes, and in the diffuser after anything smelly is cooked. You know that smell when you walk into someone's house after they've cooked dinner... and it was nothing special, but dinner still lingers? Purification is my answer!
Lushious Lemon Foaming Handsoap is what I'm really looking forward to this month - if you haven't yet tried it, take my word, you will LOVE this!
Tea Tree is a natural health product approved for using for symptoms of Cough and Cold folks! This has been my go to for my kids or anyone with sensitive skin since it's not a hot oil. I slather it (like 10-20 drops if I'm really serious about kicking out cough/cold symptoms) on my kid's spine/back area and their feet. I'll put it everywhere on them if they'll let me!
Not a day goes by that I'm not spraying Thieves Household Cleaner somewhere! On my mattress and pillows, in my truck, windows, tv screen, light switches, hood fan over the stove... And yet it still lasts me a very long time! So grateful for the concentration of this stuff and that I can dilute it to my liking. Saves me so much money - and it's even free this month?? Double save!
The Thieves Laundry Soap is also concentrated so I always make one bottle into two bottles with some water and a couple tbsps of the Thieves Household cleaner in each! And then you still only need about a tsp in each load! Love this stuff!
I never used to get sore. I'm coming to terms with the fact that my body is getting along in age and I need to support it better. Thnkfully I've got a few bottles of Deep Relief around and my husband who's already been using it on his sore muscles for years. He helps me remember to use it! Recently I also used it for a headache which was quite a lovely feeling once the headache was relieved!
Peppermint - ok seriously, I love this hack. If/when I have an itchy spot that I just can't stop scratching - I put a drop of peppermint on it! (but not if I've already scratched it to be an open sore - then I use lavender or Purification!). Peppermint keeps me awake on long car rides, calms my tummy in almost any situation and I love Peppermint + in hot water - pure peppermint tea!

Well what if we just add a bit of water to our NingXia Red everyday. Super simple, takes the bite off and allows us to enjoy the NingXia Red through a whole drink rather than just a quick sip!
Plus wouldn't it make sense that our bodies might actually have a chance to absorb more of the nutrients if those nutrients were a little more spread out - over say, a full glass or bottle of water, than a quick 2 ozs? Now I'm not saying that will for sure happen, and due to the fact that our bodies all absorb differently due to the health and wellness of our gut etc, I don't think anyone can assure you of that, however I am game to give my body that chance!

So I do that, I add my 2ozs of NingXia Red to a bottle of water, add in some flavoring plus oils like Lime or Lemon or Orange and off we go! That's my first bottle of water drank for the day! If I have any powder supplements, I add them here too!
How do you take your NingXia Red?
