This following true statement is going to come as a shock to those who don’t already know but Europe has banned over 1100 toxic ingredients from their products such as lotions, baby products, perfumes, etc. The FDA (US) has banned 11.
Pause.
Let it sink.
Then get mad because fucking why? Confused. You know why Europe smartened up? They realized that the ingredients they banned were causing breathing issues, hormone disruptions, infertility, as many more long term effects they still aren’t sure of.
Let me give you an example, Hydroquinone is an ingredient often found in skin products to help brighten the skin. Europe and Japan have outlawed it due to its cytotoxic nature. Hydroquinone kills cells and chromosomes if it is used too much, which sets the stage for some forms of cancer. While high doses of hydroquinone are banned in the US, prescription level amounts of 4% are readily available. There’s no evidence that this dosage doesn’t lead to cancer, so it makes the most sense to avoid hydroquinone completely.
Go ahead and do your own research as I have, don’t just take my word for it. It’s honestly horrifying and in my personal opinion explains why so many young people are suffering from cancer, asthma, etc. at such young ages. I mean seriously, why else?
It sucks a fat that we can’t trust the FDA and have to really research everything on our own but it’s reality and I am far from perfect but using all YL cleaning products helps me sleep better at night.

I just need to take a minute and say how thankful I am for this business. I decided to not go back to my full time, secure 9-5 job – where every day was the same and I was clearly unhappy – to pursue this dream job called Young Living. It is hard to even say that it is a job because to me it doesn’t feel like it at all. Getting paid to help people better their lives is just something else. Truly my calling I am so serious. I was SO nervous about not going back to that secure position but I wanted to stay home with my son and watch him grow into the little cutie that he is. It was a crazy transition and I worked my ass off but I made the right decision.
Here I am sitting here on vacation working here and there because the flexible hours are a BLESSING. Truly. I mean it is not easy building this business, it is hard work and you have to hustle for sure but IT IS POSSIBLE. Here I am doing it and I am just your average human. There’s ups and downs and highs and lows but this community and business is SO worth it.
We use the kit to help balance and support our emotions. I can’t tell you how much this has changed my life. When I grabbed the kit I knew that there were endless benefits for your skin, hair and health but I had no idea how greatly this would help balance my anxiety and overall mental health.
Valor. I am starting with this oil because I will never be without this (and now my CBD calm roller). I call this oil liquid Xanax because I lean for this when I am feeling overwhelmed, mind race, and panic. The whole nine. I have a roller top on this guy so I will apply to my neck, wrists and bridge of nose. I also drop 2-3 droplets in my hand and inhale deeply about 5 times. Diffuse for a deep sleep because Lord knows how anxiety/depression take a toll on your zzz’s.
Peace + Calming. Another dream blend. My son has taken to this oil and we reach for it whenever he is overtired, overstimulated, stuck in a carseat (smh). This is usually being diffused at my house in the evening when we are winding down. I have the premade roller with me at all times.
Lavender. I’m sure you’ve heard that lavender promotes a deep sleep. This is very true but please do not just diffuse it. I literally drop it in my nighttime shower to wind down, I spray it on JJ’s sheets before he goes to bed, I spray it on my face because it hydrates my skin. All the things.
Frankincense. Skin gold but also the most grounding scent you can ever smell. I inhale and apply when I am doing yoga. It brings my mind back to earth and ceases the racing. I didn’t like the smell of this at first but have grown to be obsessed with it. Many diffuse this at night for a deep sleep but I haven’t brought myself to do that yet. I savor it for topical application. Amazing for immunity too so there you go.
Lemon, Citrus Fresh, Peppermint: All of these scents are uplifting when diffused and applied. If I am in a funk and having trouble getting out of bed in the morning (aka quarantine), I will make sure to have these in the diffuser ready to go for when I wake. Gives me an extra kick in the ass. All citrus scents are uplifting btw.
Stress Away. Does exactly what it says. See ya later stress. This smells like a vacation in a bottle and personally I only diffuse. Loveee to diffuse when we have company over to break the ice. Everyone always comments on the scent.
Whether you have 1 kid or 5, stay at home or work, I see you, I am you, I’m flailing as well.
I had JJ in October and we were cooped up inside all winter while I tried to figure out how to be a mom, battle post partum anxiety, and deal with ground hogs day – every, single, day.
I didn’t go back to my full time job but I have my own business going on where I can work from home and have a flexible schedule. Seriously blessed to be able to have this opportunity and watch my son grow but have you ever tried to WFH with an infant let alone a kid of any age? It’s impossible. So I decide to get a sitter at least 2-3 times a week while I would go to Starbucks and work. This was simply amazing. Just what I needed, I felt back to myself again.
Then this shit happened. I think I got to enjoy ooh maybe 2 months of working outside of the home again (not even). Basically my maternity leave has been extended til further notice without any help from anyone, ever and nowhere to go except for a walk around the block – IF the weather permits which for the most part it has not. I feel that “is this my life now” feeling creeping back and it sucks. Now my husband is home working in what was once my office so it’s like a double kick because we are in each others spaces and he can’t even lend a hand because his show must go on. Most days I envy him having his own space and freedom to work. Though I love the flexibility of my job I am literally entertaining a 7 month old all day while trying to work a job that though flexible, requires a ton of communication and hard work. It’s an around the clock gig and I am trying to squeeze it into the 45 minutes naps I am getting. Legit bottle in one hand, laptop or phone in the other.
The word is draining. Some days I am fine, some days I wake up like “again?”. Many days I get to my breaking point. Then the mom guilt comes in. That’s the best. After trying to keep your shit together you lose it and you’re like damn I didn’t mean to do that. The hardest part is that there is no relief. No places to go, no people to help you out. It truly takes a village to raise children and right now us moms are working with a few lone soldiers who are freaking tired. I know we are all dealing with this in different way but I figured if anyone is on my page they might find some solace in this piece.
Today was rough. And it’s 3pm … Tomorrow could be better, it could very well not be. C’est la vie.
