I am always interested in getting rid of toxic cleaners in out home, so lately I’ve been finding different household uses for essential oils.
Below are 12 Different Household Uses for Essential Oils:
Use 6 drops of lemon and 6 drops of purification with 8 ounces of water in a spray bottle as an air freshener.
A couple drops of lemon work great on sticky residue. -Toss out your Goo-Gone!
Use 6 drops of Thieves blend in a spray bottle as a disinfectant. Toss your highly toxic Lysol!
Put a cotton ball with a few drops of peppermint on it where ants are. -Goodby annoying sticky traps!
Put 4 drops Peppermint in 4 ounces of water to kill aphids. -No more nasty plant spray.
Diffuse Thieves blend to kill mold spores. No more mold + pleasant smell = win-win
Put a couple drops of Purification blend on cotton balls and place in the toes of smelly shoes.
Diffuse Purification in smelly areas; much healthier alternative to artificially scented air-fresheners.
Mix 30-40 drops of your favorite blend, or even single oils into 2 cups of baking soda. Use a broom to sweep it into your carpets. After 30 minutes vacuum out. You freshen your carpet AND your sweeper!
Soak smell dishcloths in a bowl of water with a few drops of lemon oil to kill the smelly bacteria.
Sprinkle a few drops of the Joy blend on a damp rag and wipe down hard floors for a pleasant smell.
Place a few drops of your favorite blend on a cotton ball and put it in front of a dehumidifier in the winter.

I personally love the world of essential oils. When I was a teen, my mom started buying different essential oils and I think I had more fun with them than she did.
I remember reading about each oil and what they would do for your. The medicinal properties that essential oils hold are amazing. We had a cat get caught in a leg trap one summer and her leg developed gangrene. I made a wound wash with essential oils and it took persistence, but I actually managed to help heal her leg. I was sooo impressed with those oils. 
One thing is important to remember with essential oils. You want your oils to be a pure as possible. Aromatherapy oils just won’t cut it for me. I want the real essential oils. There are several different companies that I trust. One of them is Young Living.
A lovely young lady who is a fellow Lilla Rose consultant contacted me and asked if I knew much about Essential Oils and if I was interested in doing a review and giveaway for you guys. Well of course!
Bokerah sent me samples of the oils that are found in the Every Day Oils kit. The single oils were: Lavender, Peppermint, Frankincense, and Lemon. The blends include: Joy, Valor, Thieves, Panaway, Purification, Peace and Calming, & Stress Away.
I was not familiar with a few of those blends since I normally worked with the single oils. However, I love these blends that I was sent. They cut out a lot of the guess work that I had to do when mixing oils.
So far, I have used both the Frankincense, and Panaway in a Body butter that I made. (The body butter stunk so I used both oils that are good for the skin, and oils that smell good. )
I also love adding Peace and Calming to my RealSalt salt baths. Total pampering there.
I asked Bokerah to share why she loves being a Young Living consultant, and after that there is a giveaway!!!
I became involved with herbs and herbals over 12 years ago when I was researching how to avoid another c-section. I found teas, tinctures and was able to avoid the c-section (going on to have four successful VBACS). While I love herbals teas, don’t mind tinctures and have been spotted eating odd things for health, my husband doesn’t enjoy any of them. Enter Young Living Oils! These Essential Oils were the answer. My husband now voluntarily – and even asks for – the herbals that I know work. These oils have been a wonderful addition to our family, helped us cut down on medical costs and we have been able to bless those around us. Young Living has been in business for 20+ years. They are a trusted source for Essential Oils, with outstanding customer service. The business opportunity has recently been updated, and it’s better than ever! If you are interested in trying oils, or adding these to YOUR keep-your-family-healthy toolbox, please contact me at bokerahbrumley@gmail.com. I am offering a $25 coupon to five people that join using the Premium Membership Kit.
Stay oily, my friends!
