5 reasons you’re avoiding ditching the toxins in

5 reasons you’re avoiding ditching the toxins in your home (yep, I was in your shoes once too) 🌿 ⁣
⁣
I remember telling my husband Sean I wanted to switch to natural cleaning products 4 years ago — his first response was “but what we use now works well!” you know the old saying — if it ain’t broke don’t fix it ✌🏼⁣
⁣
BUT IT IS BROKE. our home was filled with toxic products + our bodies were riddled with toxic overload. ⁣
⁣
think of all the products you use on a daily basis. if every single one of those is filled with chemicals + toxins that your body has to absorb, filter, and find a way to get rid of.. dang, that’s a big job!⁣
⁣
what if you chose to use natural products your body didn’t have to filter through (and bonus, would actually support it) ⁣
⁣
know better, do better 🫶🏼 and I’m going to help you ditch allllll your toxic cleaning products in just one click with the thieves home loyalty bundle 🌿⁣
⁣
one bundle that includes your household cleaner, laundry soap, hand soap, fruit + veggie soak, dish soap, and kitchen + bath scrub — yep, all in one! ⚡️⁣referral ID: 20350004

top 10 products to switch to in your home for an all natural + plant based lifestyle 💛 we can’t control everything (like environmental toxins such as air pollution) but we can control the products we use in our home and on our bodies 👏🏼⁣
⁣
it can be so overwhelming to even know where to start & figuring out what ingredients to avoid – but thankfully, Young Living is your easy button to all natural, plant based, and super effective products!⁣ ⚡️

on our flight home from nashville last night (after sean’s 2nd ever young living event) — we were both frantically writing things in the notes section on our phones. to do lists, goals, action plans we wanted to take.. and all of a sudden he leaned over and had this typed on his phone: ⁣
⁣
“I’d like to do a zoom call for all the guys — maybe if they heard things from my point of view, they’d actually get it” ⚡️⁣
⁣
and I about cried.. 🥹 because his support for me + our young living business just continues to amaze me and makes me so dang grateful — HE GETS IT. but he didn’t always.. and he’s putting himself out there to hopefully help even just one of your husbands or partners to understand the opportunity we have at our fingertips thanks to young living. ⁣
⁣
life changing products.⁣
life changing community.⁣
and a really rad business.⁣
⁣
he’s proud to say I sell essential oils 🫶🏼 he’s happy to recommend digize to every person on this planet 😂 and he’s excited to chat with any of your significant others tomorrow that want to hear his perspective 💛 ⁣
⁣
grab your fav beverage + jump on the call together tomorrow night! comment below with the word TOGETHER + I’ll send you the zoom link for tomorrow night’s call 👏🏼⁣

nash, we’ll never forget ya ✌🏼 I’ve had about 26 “pinch me” moments since we landed in nashville a couple nights ago.. I’ll just share a few 💛⁣
⁣
I have the most supportive husband (who is also such a good time🕺🏽+ always the best sport). I’m beyond thankful for him and so dang proud to be his wife 🦋⁣
⁣
this was a WORK trip.. like what is life!? the fact that building a young living business has led us to this incredible community will never be lost on us. something sean said after our first YL trip went a little something like: “woah, everyone is just so real and genuine” 🫶🏼 and it’s the truth. never have I ever felt more seen, more encouraged, or more loved than within the arms of this community ✨ I get to work alongside some of my best friends + I am so thankful for that.⁣
⁣
when you allow yourself to be your fullest, truest self.. magic happens all around you ⚡️⁣
⁣
to everyone I squeezed in nashville, who welcomed sean in with open arms, + is chasing dreams and making magic happen for themselves.. I love you + am in your corner! 🤘🏼and if you weren’t there, don’t worry — there’s room for you here next time 😉💛

woke up anxious today 💛 it’s the worst, but it’s also so common for a lot of us and not something I’m going to shy away from sharing. if you know the feeling, here’s a few things I do to help me come out of the ‘racing heart’ feeling:⁣
⁣
+ put on some soothing music (folk + acoustic mix on spotify is my go to or I’ll turn on the record player)⁣
+ fill the diffusers with a tree oil for grounding and citrus oil for positivity⁣
+ eat something. this one is hard, but usually always helps.⁣
+ write down what’s on my brain — usually a brain dump of things that are stressing me out or that I need to do helps. it’s usually never as bad as my brain makes it out to be.⁣
+ drink lots of water!⁣
+ deep breaths. I use valor and sara essential oil — apply them on your wrists, neck, hair, and take big deep breaths. ⁣

same view, different life 🦋 isn’t it crazy how you can be in the exact same spot physically, but everything else has changed? ⁣
⁣
this is why I love looking back at before pics of our house.. yes, our home has had a tremendous glow up — thank goodness!! 😂 but more importantly, it reminds me of how far we’ve come and all the ways we’ve grown and shifted over the years right alongside these walls 💛⁣
⁣
thankful for this view ✨

do you use a natural laundry soap in your home? if you don’t, let me help you make the switch 💛⁣
⁣
our skin is like a sponge — it absorbs everything that it comes in contact with. so when we use laundry detergents with harmful chemicals in them, our skin lets those chemicals sink in. but good news, there’s a better option!⁣
⁣
thieves laundry soap is an all-natural, plant based laundry soap — we’ve used it for years and absolutely love it! you can absolutely use it on it’s own, but if you want to make it even more effective for stains & last even longer, you gotta try this recipe!⁣
⁣
DIY LAUNDRY SOAP⁣
+ 32 oz glass pump bottle⁣
+ fill half with thieves laundry soap⁣
+ 3-4 caps thieves cleaner⁣
+ 10-15 drops lemon essential oil⁣
+ fill the rest with distilled water & gently shake⁣
⁣
add 4-8 pumps per load (depending on size)⁣

a vulnerable glimpse at my 2022 🦋 6 months ago,

a vulnerable glimpse at my 2022 🦋 6 months ago, I would’ve never shared this video.. I thought sharing my struggles was a form of weakness. but now more than ever, I know my vulnerability is strength + hope + an outpouring of love from me to you. I’m ripping the bandaid off that has so delicately hidden all my scars 💛
⁣
I’m sure you’ve had hard moments in your own life this past 365 days. just know I see you. we’re all imperfect humans walking through a messy life.. but we’re in it TOGETHER. there will always be another mountain to climb and valley to cross, but you’re never alone 🙏🏼 here’s to walking into 2023 hand in hand.. I know there’s so much goodness ahead for all of us ✨
