Every night before I go to bed, I love to rub a couple of drops of lavender YLEO between my palms, then over my pillow. I then rub my hands on my shoulders and the back of my neck. This way, I get to enjoy the wonderful, relaxing, soothing benefits of lavender both aromatically and topically.
I also like to use a lavender spray to help freshen our linens, whether at home or traveling. It makes wherever we are feel like a calm, tranquil space.

General Tips
- Avoid exposing your oils to high heat
- Put thieves & purification on your feet to support your
immune system - Use Thieves spray on seats / hand rests / public places to
keep surfaces clean - Use Thieves hand purifier as needed
- Breathe in Purification while on planes and places where
the air is recirculated to support your immune system
Airline Tips
1. Carry-on luggage / bags
- One, qt. sized, ziplock bag allowed per traveler
- 100 total ml of liquid allowed per traveler – most oils are 5
ml or 15 ml bottles - Shut bottles tightly and ideally wrap in bubble wrap or the
tube they were sent in from YL. - If you have time, you can ask for your oils to be hand
checked, rather than x-rayed, but if they’re x-rayed, don’t
worry! It will change the frequency of some oils, but they’ll
return to normal in time. You can speed that process by
rolling the bottles in your hands for 2-3 minutes.
2. Checked baggage
- The oils will be x-rayed, but you can pack as many oils as
you’d like - Make sure they’re sealed tightly and store them in a ziplock
back, ideally wrapped in bubble wrap or packing tubes - Consider getting 5/8 dram amber bottles and just taking up
to 30 drops of each of your favorite oils. At www.abundanthealth4u.com, you can find the bottles and perfectly sized YL labels, along with some cases.
3. YL’s Bon Voyage Travel Kit - We LOVE it!!!
- It comes with 2 oz. bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, mouth wash, 4 oz. Thieves AromaBright toothpaste, Thieves dental floss, Thieves hand sanitizer, a toothbrush, and Cinnamint lip balm. It's everything you need and you know that they're all-natural products in just the right sized containers. Plus, the travel bag is AWESOME!!!

Remember - with summer temps climbing, don't leave your oils in your car. High heat can damage the therapeutic properties of the oils!

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!
