Chasing truth, beauty, goodness, and all things naturally wholistic.

Faith over fear.

Ephesians 2:8-10

 

I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart since 2003. Together, we have four amazing children, by birth and adoption. When I am not homeschooling my favorite students, I spend my days on our 7-acre property where I try my best to love my family well and experiment with hobby homesteading. My favorite things to do are cultivate my ever-expanding gardens, wrangle chickens, ferment all the things, sourdough bake with einkorn flour, and figure out new ways to use herbal remedies and essential oils. I believe God has tasked us to be good stewards of our spaces in the world, and I guide my children to do the same.


I am a board member of The Sparrow Fund and an Empowered to Connect Facilitator. I love to dig in the dirt, cook nourishing food, capture beauty through my camera lens, watch the sunrise on the beach, and spend time with good literature on my porch while sipping on a hot cup of coffee.

Oils 101 | Thieves Vitality

The Young Living Thieves blend was inspired by the legend of four 15th-century French thieves who formulated a special aromatic combination composed of Clove, Rosemary, and other botanicals they used while robbing the dead and dying. The one-of-a-kind Thieves blend, crafted in the spirit of that legendary combination, can be found in all of the Thieves products.

It contains Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils.  Not only do these vitality oils support overall wellness, the Eucalyptus Radiata may help support respiratory health when taken internally.

Young Living has a whole line of Thieves products to help keep families healthy. Everything from toothpaste, to a variety of soaps, to household cleaner, to hand purifier.  It’s so nice to be able to keep our family healthy, without the use of harsh chemicals that may be found in most conventional store-bought products.  The Thieves products are constantly used every single day in our home, and they’re probably my most favorite ditch and switch products, especially the Thieves Household Cleaner.  But even without all of the incredible Thieves products that Young Living offers, the Thieves essential oil alone is a huge contributor to our family staying above the wellness line.  There are endless ways to use this essential oil.

Thieves is definitely one of my favorite immune supporting oils because it helps us keep up with our busy schedules.  We make a Perfect Attendance 10ml roller bottle with Thieves (about 20 drops of oil, the rest filled with a carrier oil) and I sometimes add Oregano or Immupower (about 10 drops).  We rub it on our feet every single evening as part of our bedtime routines, especially in the fall and winter.  It’s so easy, even kids can do it themselves.  In fact, they all have their own rollers!  This habit is so easy to do and it only takes a few seconds.

Ways to use Thieves Vitality:

➕Add 1-2 drops to a teaspoon of honey to help support wellness

➕Take a few drops of Vitality oil in a capsule with a carrier oil to boost your immune system

➕Add a drop to a shot of NingXia Red for a quick, spicy boost

➕Add a drop to oatmeal, granola, or other cereal to elevate your breakfast

➕Add this to your dental routine by placing a drop on your toothbrush – we also LOVE the Thieves toothpaste Young Living offers

➕Add a drop to your favorite herbal tea (just make sure to add to liquid stevia or honey first to emulsify the oil throughout the tea)

➕Alternatively, make a Thieves Vitality tea by mixing a drop of Thieves oil with liquid stevia or honey, and then adding to a steaming cup of hot water

Ways to use Thieves:

➕Diffuse 5-8 drops in bedrooms at night

➕Diffuse in high traffic or moldy areas

➕Add 10 drops to a cup of baking soda, sprinkle over carpets and let sit 10 minutes, then vacuum it up

➕Add 10 drops to a cup of baking soda. Put in a shallow bowl and let sit in refrigerator to absorb food odors

➕Make a Perfect Attendance 10ml roller with 20 drops of Thieves essential and then fill with a carrier oil – roll on the bottoms of feet or down the spine every day

➕Add a drop or two to your laundry load for cleaner clothes

➕Use to dissolve gummy adhesive on price labels

➕Mix several drops with baking soda to clean bathtubs

➕Add 3-5 drops onto a washrag and place in hot shower (just outside of water) to enjoy a “steam” shower

➕Make a DIY Thieves Foaming Hand Soap using a foaming soap bottle:

  • 3 tbsps Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap (unscented)
  • 1/4 tsp organic vegetable glycerin (for a silky texture)
  • 10 drops Thieves essential oil
  • Fill the rest of the bottle with water, leaving enough room for the top
  • Screw on the top and shake up the bottle

Keep in mind that Thieves is a HOT oil.  Please apply topically only when using a carrier oil or applying to bottoms of feet.
