Loving Thieves Oil

So Excited that my Young Living Kit Arrived Today!! Perfect Timing!  School Just Started and Germs are already spreading.  I had not been sick for over 1 year.  (Until this week) I have been Fighting a Cold since Tuesday.  As soon as the mail man dropped off my Young Living Starter kit this morning, I opened it up and cracked open the Bottle of Thieves.

I placed 1 drop of the Thieves Oil in an 8 ounce glass of water with a pinch of salt.  Gargled this until it was gone.

Thieves Smells wonderful!   I can't wait to use this in my new diffuser.  The Blend has Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Rosemary, Lemon, and Eucalyptus Radiata essential oils in it.    It is a Powerful Essential Oil Blend that may help support healthy immune function and contribute to overall wellness when taken as a dietary supplement.

Making Scented Vinegar to use in Natural Cleaning Recipes

I have used Plain White Vinegar for a long time for cleaning my kitchen, floors, bathrooms... It is cheap and natural cleaner.  The past few weeks I have been mixing up some natural cleaning recipes found on Pinterest and many of those recipes call for vinegar.  And along with all the cleaning recipes, I found a great way to use things from your kitchen to make a scented Vinegar.  - It is so simple.  The hardest part is waiting for it to steep for 2 weeks.  I filled a glass jar full of orange peels, lemon peels, lime peels, ginger root pieces, cinnamon sticks, and some apple cider mulling spices and then I just poured plain white vinegar in the jar until it was full.  I placed the jar in a dark cabinet for 2 weeks and then strained the vinegar into another Jar.

Note:  Do not use Vinegar on Granite Counter tops!!
