Chatting with Andrea & Brian

These DIY succulent diffusers were so much fun to make and aren't they ADORABLE?!?! 

Several of us got together yesterday to learn how to take our oily obsession to the next level, discovering other Young Living oils and products outside of the Premium Starter Kit. As we chatted, we enjoyed veggies with YLEO Vitality Oil infused dip and Rosemary Vitality infused popcorn - so good! Afterwards, we made these cute, succulent diffusers!

These are easy peasy to make! You can get individual succulents, cactus soil (super important to have the right soil), and adorable pots, then plant your own groupings, but we made it even easier. Home Depot currently has these already potted in clay pots, so we skipped the planting step and went right into decorating, taking advantage of the "hard part" already having been done for us!

We tucked bits of moss in where the dirt showed, put a lava bead on top of a toothpick that we added a cute butterfly sticker to and tucked that into our plants. We then took a variety of colors and patterns of Washi tape (located in the scrapbook section of your favorite craft store) and taped it onto the outside of our pots.  Then, all we needed to do was put a drop or two of our favorite Young Living Essential Oil onto the lava bead and/or moss and it became a beautiful, natural diffuser to enjoy in more ways than one!

We'd love to see yours! If you make one, send us a picture!

Have you ever wanted to attend a basic class on essential oils, but you just haven't had the time to fit it in? Now you can "attend" a class on your own time. Fold laundry, walk, drive, clean your house... and listen to these 2-10 minute video segments that comprise the entire Essential Oils 101 Class.

Not all essential oils are created equal! Many oil bottles are labeled as "pure," but did you know that the FDA only requires that the bottles contain 5% of the essential oil in order to label them as "pure?" That means that the other 95% of the ingredients can be things other than the oil itself, filling the bottle with additives and impurities. Scary, right?

Young Living is the industry leader in essential oils and with 24 years of experience, YL sets the standard for essential oil purity and authenticity by carefully monitoring the production of our oils through our unique Seed to Seal process.

From the time the seed is sourced until the oil is sealed in the bottle, we apply rigorous quality controls to ensure that you are receiving essential oils exactly the way nature intended. We own or lease all of our farms and Gary Young is dedicated to the quality of the raw material used for our oils. For example, he won’t farm on land that has ever used pesticides and he'll reject harvested materials if they don’t meet his strict standards, even if that means that an oil won’t be available to sell.

In August, I'll actually be visiting our St. Marie's, Idaho, farm where lavender was first planted by Gary Young and I'll get to take part in harvesting Melissa! Two years ago, I visited our Mona, Utah, farm and planted lavender in our own fields! I love that I can physically take part in our Seed to Seal process. it gives me such confidence in the oils our family uses each day!
