KEEP YOUR HOME SMELLING LOVELY

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again I love a good smelling house. There’s something so inviting about walking into a home that smells lovely. I’m not talking overpowering in your face scent but subtle, happy notes that make people want to stay and linger. Candles were my go to until I started reading about the harmful chemicals they emit. One by one, I’ve done away with chemicals in our home and I think we are healthier for it. Those toxic chemicals in our laundry, the air we breathe, what we put on our skin end up having an adverse effect on our hormones and overall health.

There is something about our 40’s that we don’t feel as invincible as we once did. Maybe its watching your parents health decline, maybe its just reaching that halfway mark in life. I’m not sure exactly but hitting my 40’s sure made me more conscious of the everyday choices I was making for myself and my family.

The good news is there are great alternatives now for helping your home smell its best. And even better news is for the next day, new customers get 20% off their first order using code: SHAREYL and 10% in February.

They have helped us calm down at the days end and promote better sleep. We have diffusers in our bedrooms, bathrooms and main living areas. My favorite oils for sleep are lavender, stress away, purification and peace & calming. I turn them on while my girls are doing their bathroom routines or about 20 minutes before trying to sleep. I have struggled with sleep for years and I’ve always heard that a good routine helps tell your body and mind its bedtime. Oils have helped so much with that!

I like to start the day with a citrus combo that’s energizing and wakes you up! Nesting with Grace has some amazing combos on her blog and Instagram. My personal favorites are her Anthro blend (4 drops grapefruit, 4 drops orange, 3 drops geranium, 2 drops northern lights or other evergreen, 2 lime), Squeaky Clean (4 drops Thieves, 3 drops citrus fresh, 1 drop cinnamon bark), Entry (4 Bergamot, 3 lime and 2 juniper). It gets pricey to do these combos but they smell so good! If you want something more simple, its perfectly fine to pick one oil! Luscious Lemon, Lemon Myrtle and Theives are great ones to do on their own. This kit is a great one to get all of the basic oils for a better price to experiment and see what you like the best!

For wellness and purifying I like to use Theives, Frankinscense, Purification and RC. There is also a kids one called Sniffleease that I use with Theives at night and a little lavender and it’s a great combo for bedtime when you have the stuffies. I like RC and Thieves for adult stuffy nose in combo with the Thieves ointment rub on your chest or under your nose. For general air purification I love Purification and Thieves. So far, we have had a very healthy year and I really am chalking it up to using oils in our home!

 Here are some great starter kit options with my favorite oils and products to start with.
