Skin Care
Finding a skin care product that I love is not an easy task. I have very sensitive skin and have tried so many things that claim to be natural or good for sensitive skin. They all burn or turn my face very red, make my eye hurt, breakout in a rash…….
When I joined Young Living a year ago I saw the ART skin care line and wondered, but I really wanted to hear more testimonies about it before trying it. So, I listened to anyone that brought it up and asked lots of questions. I never came across anyone that said anything negative about it.
I received it in July and was so anxious to get started. I took a before picture. The awesome thing is that it hasn’t even been a month yet and I am already seeing results. So I had to share. These pictures were taken in the exact same spot and have not been edited.
I wanted to share my love of theses products and hosted a class for a few friends to come try them.

The BEST most ECONOMICAL cleaner EVER!
This post will forever change you! Well, maybe the way you clean your house…
My friend Catherine and I want to share our love for Thieves Cleaner!
Thieves cleaner is a green, ecologically friendly, plant-based cleaner containing Thieves and lemon Young Living quality essential oils. Safe for use around children and pets. It is perfect for cleaning practically everything in your house.
We have both thrown out all other cleaners and use Thieves for everything. EVERYTHING! From fruit to our toilets… You simply buy empty spray bottles from the dollar store or home improvement store and follow the chart on the bottle for diluting. Add water! I have a spray bottle in my kitchen and each bathroom.
We will also share other natural ways to replace things like room spray, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, hand sanitizer, throat spray, goo gone, etc.
Do you know the story behind Thieves?
The oils or herbs were used by thieves who robbed the dead and dying during the plague of the 15th century and who never contracted the disease. The Young Living Thieves cleaner is patterned after this formula that offered protection during a time when 50 percent of Europe perished from the plague.
Thieves is a Young Living essential oil blend. What are the five oils used in Thieves? (Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Rosemary, Lemon, Eucalyptus (E. radiate))
Thieves essential oil blend was found to have a 99.6% kill rate against airborne germs!
Here are a couple testimonies. So you can see we are not alone!
“The Thieves Household cleaner has been absolutely wonderful. I’ve had it since March and it’s not even 1/2 gone. I literally use it for EVERYTHING, from cleaning the kitchen floors to washing produce! I love that it’s all natural, chemical free and won’t be harmful to my family. Not to mention it smells amazing!” -Julia T.
and another…
CARPETS
In the past we have spent a lot of money on having our carpets professionally cleaned. It is a hassle, they use chemicals and we can’t walk on our carpets for a day. Ain’t nobody got time for that! My hubby found a great deal on a Hoover carpet cleaner and decided it was worth it to try so that we could clean our carpets ourselves. We put thieves cleaner in the top, where it says to put solution and we were amazed at how well our carpets came clean and how good the house smells after. NO CHEMICALS!
Another great thing about this cleaner is that it affordable!!! It is so concentrated, you only use one capful per spray bottle. So, it lasts for-ev-er!!!
Did I mention it was safe for to use with children and pets?!?! My daughter threw up all over my car and herself and as soon as I pulled in the driveway, I ran inside and grabbed my thieves spray bottle. I sprayed it all over her, her chair, the car, the carpet…every nook and cranny! It got rid of the smell and any sign that anyone has ever thrown up in it. This is huge, because I probably would have had to get a new car if not (wink)!
Since it is safe for Children and Pets…I love to mop my kitchen floor with it. I don’t have to worry about the dog licking it or the kids walking around barefoot on it.
Thieves Hand Sanitizer
Natural Room Spray, say goodbye to Febreeze and Lysol that are laden with chemicals that are not safe for us!
Purification will kill odors, not just mask them. It also kills fungus and mold!!!
You can also apply to stains or as presoak to get rid of bad smells or urine.

How to be a Teachers Pet
Check Yo Self…
Ha! I kid, I kid. This post is about attitudes. We all have them! Sometimes our children’s attitudes are a reflection of our own. Ouch!
I want to tackle those morning attitudes before they even start so they can be ready for a great school year. We will use Young Living Oils to help in any way they can.
Being organized and prepared is a key player in my happiness so I’m planning it out. Read this to get some ideas of what you need to have on your essential oil supply list.
My Plan of Action:
Night before –
*Take our vitamins (Super C, OmegaGize – Fish oil, MultiGreens, InnerDefense, Longevity, Life 5)
*Fill the kitchen diffuser the night before with a happy blend of Orange, Ylang Ylang & Lavender and have it ready to turn on as soon as I wake up to let the dog out. This is usually before the kids are awake.
*Fill the USB orb diffuser with water for the car ride to school. I’ll let them take turns picking which oil to use on the way to school.
*Have lunches and water bottles filled.
Morning –
*Apply peppermint to wake up. Drink my MindWise, Ningxia Red with Lemon oil and have my quiet time! (check out Jesus Calling if you want to start a quiet time and don’t know where to start)
*Fill the upstairs diffuser with Citrus Fresh, Peppermint or my favorite diffusing blend of Lime, Lemon Myrtle and Peppermint.
*Wake up the kids.
*Everyone get ready.
*Eat breakfast or drink smoothie!
*Apply Thieves to the bottom of all of our feet. Put shoes on and go.

Einkorn Cookie Butter Cookies
Let me just say these cookies are going to ROCK YOUR WORLD!!!
I saw a recipe for peanut butter cookies and thought I would make some substitutions and see how they turned out and they far exceeded my expectations. These cookies are no dairy and I have used Young Living Einkorn flour mix in place of regular flour. Young Living Einkorn Pancake and Waffle mix combines ancient einkorn wheat with a variety of nutritious, low-gluten grains and ground legumes. It offers a deliciously unique, earthy flavor and serves as an excellent base for many different baking recipes. It was also one of the best-selling new products released at YL Convention! You can find my crepes here.
Einkorn Cookie Butter Cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup cookie butter (mine is Biscoff from Costco)
1/2 cup coconut oil, softened (like butter; not hard and not runny or melted)
1 cup light brown sugar, (coconut crystals, your choice of sweetener)
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vanilla extract (yes tablespoon, not teaspoon)
1 1/4 cups Einkorn flour mix
2 teaspoons corn starch
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
Directions:
- In a large bowl, combine cookie butter, coconut oil, egg, sugar and mix to cream until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Note – Coconut oil should be the consistency of soft butter like you’d use to cream with sugar and eggs in traditional cookies. If coconut oil is rock hard, microwave it in a small bowl for 5 to 10 seconds or just until it begins to soften. If coconut oil is runny or melted, place it in the freezer momentarily until it firms up. A tiny amount of runniness is fine; it’s an oil and that happens. But do not use melted or purely liquid coconut oil because you can’t effectively cream a liquid; it would be like trying to cream liquid butter.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the vanilla and mix to incorporate, about 1 minute.
- Add 1 cup flour, corn starch, baking soda, optional salt, and mix until just combined, about 1 minute. If your dough seems quite wet, sloppy, or isn’t combining, add up to another one-quarter cup flour, one tablespoon at a time, for a total of 1 1/4 cups. The dough shouldn’t be sticky or tacky, and a little loose and oily is preferred to dry and crumbly. It should have a Play-Doh like consistency, and if pinched and squished, it’ll stick together and to itself, but not to your hands. Over-flouring the dough will cause the cookies to be dry.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, form mounds that are 2 heaping tablespoons in size; or divide dough into approximately 18 equal-sized pieces. Place dough mounds on a large plate, and slightly flatten each mound. Get the dough mounds in the exact shape you want to bake them in because after chilling, flattening or re-shaping the dough is difficult. Cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours; up to 5 days. Do not bake these cookies with dough that has not been properly chilled because they will spread.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place dough on baking sheet.
- Bake for 7 to 9 minutes.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before moving. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Alternatively, unbaked dough can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months, so consider baking only as many cookies as desired and save the remaining dough to be baked in the future when desired.

Morning Routine
![IMG_5001[1]](https://peacejoyandoil.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/img_50011.jpg)
My morning routine used to be coffee, but I have traded that in for NingXia Red, MindWise and a Super C. When I’m dragging I add a NingXia Nitro. I have noticed that this last longer and gives me clarity that I need for the day. When my allergies flair up I add a second NingXia Red later in the day. I also love to add oils to this! This is where it gets fun. I feel like a bar tender of essential oils!
MindWise is a new product that was introduced at Young Living Convention and I am very excited about the lives that will be helped with this. It even tastes good!
![IMG_4958[1]](https://peacejoyandoil.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/img_49581.jpg)
