image Ditching conventional perfumes is possibly one of the most impactful things you can do for your health, but that doesn't mean you can't still smell great! Whip up your own, customized perfume with this simple recipe and change your scents with the seasons!

Base Notes: These are about 15-30% of the blend. Think heavier, warm scents like:

  • Vanilla
  • Cedarwood, Spruce and ‘tree oils'
  • Frankincense, Myrrh
  • Sandalwood, Vetiver
  • Patchouli
  • Clove, Cassia, Cinnamon

Middle Notes: These should be the bulk of your blend at 30-60% and are usually full-bodied, complex, and comprise the focal point of the blend while also balancing other components.

  • Rose, Jasmine, Geranium
  • Lavender, Chamomile, Rosemary
  • Ylang ylang, Clary Sage
  • Cardamom, Ginger, Lemongrass, Black Pepper

Top Notes: These should be 10-25% of your blend. These oils are sharp, uplifting, refreshing, and light to finish off the blend.

  • Peppermint, Spearmint
  • Grapefruit, Tangerine, Lemon (citrus oils)
  • Eucalyptus, Basil, Juniper
  • Pine, Sage

Choose one or two scents from each category, and combine them until you end up with a fragrance you love! Lighter recipes work well for the warmer months, while cooler months are great for deeper, spicier combinations.

DIY Perfume Spray Base Recipe

  • Pretty glass perfume bottles
  • 1 Tbsp V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex (or any unscented carrier oil)
  • 2 Tbsp pure grade alcohol or vodka
  • 30-40 drops of essential oils of choice
  • 1 Tbsp distilled water
  • Optional add-ins for beauty: dried flower stems, gemstones or fresh, organic flower petals.

image When it comes to self-care there is SO much we can do on a daily basis to truly care for ourselves mind, body, and soul. When you're wanting to invite the spa vibes into your bathroom, ditch conventional options and reach for the Young Living Bath Bombs!

WHY WE LOVE YL BATH BOMBS

No matter how you do it, taking a moment for yourself is always a good idea. Especially when we are all juggling so much, wearing so many hats, finding time for you is so important! And one of our favorite ways to do that is with a long soak in the bathtub.

YL's natural bath bombs are made without colorants, synthetic preservatives, parabens, or animal-derived ingredients, making them some of the best bath bombs you can get your hands on!

image Each month we grow together by reading a specific resource and taking daily steps to implement healthy habits into our lifestyle. This month we are focusing on true self-care - daily steps that promote physical, mental and emotional health!

This month we are releasing the habit of overthinking with this incredible book by Jon Acuff!

“Overthinking isn't a personality trait. It's the sneakiest form of fear. It steals time, creativity, and goals. It's the most expensive, least productive thing companies invest in without even knowing it. And it's an epidemic. When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff changed his life by transforming his overthinking, he wondered if other people might benefit from what he discovered. He commissioned a research study to ask 10,000 people if they struggle with overthinking too, and 99.5 percent said, "Yes!"

The good news is that in Soundtracks, Acuff offers a proven plan to change overthinking from a super problem into a superpower.

When we don't control our thoughts, our thoughts control us. If our days are full of broken soundtracks, thoughts are our worst enemy, holding us back from the things we really want. But the solution to overthinking isn't to stop thinking. The solution is running our brains with better soundtracks. Once we learn how to choose our soundtracks, thoughts become our best friend, propelling us toward our goals.

If you want to tap into the surprising power of overthinking and give your dreams more time and creativity, learn how to DJ the soundtracks that define you. If you can worry, you can wonder. If you can doubt, you can dominate. If you can spin, you can soar.”

image True self-care is about creating habits that truly nourish your mind, body, and spirit. This is definitely something we can get behind! When we truly invest in our health, we can better love and serve those in our lives, filling them with the goodness we have filled for ourselves! One simple way to do that is with diffusing. Try one of these blends to nourish yourself (and those you love)!

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. Join us this month as we diffuse these favorite blends for love and connection!

You can also easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

  • To make a 10mL roller from any recipe: triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Complex) and you're good to go!
  • To make a 2oz spray from any recipe: double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, add a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!
