FOOD!!! - U-Pick Season! Strawberries!

Apparently it is U-Pick Strawberry season!!! We've never been strawberry picking before but decided to go last minute since friends were going! Beautiful morning for it!

Decided not to go too far overboard our first time. Need to make sure I am going to use/freeze what I picked so far! But thinking about maybe going back next week for more if all goes well with this first batch!

Of course I'm cleaning them in my lemon water to get all the gunk off! No, they aren't organic, but the Lemon Oil will help remove the residue so I don't have to feel like I'm feeding my kids too many gross chemicals! And that makes me feel awesome!!!

View my post with more details on how I clean my fruits and veggies with Lemon Essential Oil HERE!

Young Living also has created the Thieves Fruit & Veggie Spray and the Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak!  I still need to try these products and will update you when I have done so! From what I've heard, it is amazing!!!

Let's Learn! - Purification Essential Oil!

After the holidays and Christmas/Winter Break, once all the decorations are put away, I'm sure many people are feeling like their house needs a deep cleaning - like it needs to be purified!  I know I've been working on cleaning mine!  I'm ready to start the year off with a clean house and a renewed focus on the health and wellness of my family and myself!

Enter Purification Essential Oil, a trademarked Young Living Essential Oil blend known for it's cleansing properties.  It has a distinct sweet, refreshing scent which deodorizes and neutralizes the air!  Purification EO is made up of six (6) different single essential oils.

Single Essential Oils in Purification EO
Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) oil - respiratory system & bug/insect repellent
Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) leaf oil- immune system & mental clarity
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus) oil - immune system & purifying
Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) leaf oil - immune system & cleansing
Lavandin (Lavandula hybrida) oil - cardiovascular system & calming
Myrtle (Myrtus communis) oil - respiratory system & uplifting

In our house, we use Purification EO regularly!  I use it on the wool balls in our dryer to give our laundry that amazing fresh and clean scent - no more chemical laden dryer sheets!  When the children sound like they are hacking up a lung, I diffuse Purification EO in their rooms.  If I feel a blemish coming on, or even after I mess with a blemish, I dab some Purification EO on the spot.  It feels better quickly and begins looking better sooner too.   And for some of those tough smells - burnt food, stale air and wet, dirty kids (or pets is we had them), I use an air freshener with about 10 drops of Purification EO, 2 oz of water and 2 oz of witch hazel, or I diffuse Purification EO.  Goodbye stinkiness!  I'm thankful that this essential oil blend is available in a 15 ml bottle, because the 5 ml bottle that came in my Premium Starter Kit was gone in a flash!

How do you like to use Purification EO?  

(I've heard it's great for stinky gym/sports bags & shoes too!  I'm sure I'll be using that trick as my two active boys grow up!  I can't even imagine what I'm in for!)
