Over the years, one of the most frequently asked questions I've gotten is whether eucalyptus and peppermint are safe for babies and small kiddos. I love that we don't have to use those oils at all, if we choose. Spearmint is a wonderfully gentle oil that can be used to support our little ones in so many ways.
The main chemical constituents of spearmint are carvone, beta pinene, and alpha pinene. It doesn't contain the menthol that is found in eucalyptus and peppermint, and can be used to support many of the same health goals.
I love using spearmint to support healthy digestion. Just a drop in a tablespoon of carrier oil in a roller bottle is a wonderful way to support little tummies. I also love diffusing this with citrus oils to encourage healthy and clear airways. It can also gently cool the body to achieve an optimal body temperature when needed. This oil also does not affect breastmilk supply the way peppermint possibly can for some women. It is also great for boosting mental clarity and positive emotions.
This oil can also inspire clarity of speech and communication. It would be great to use as support for kiddos learning to express themselves, and for adults who struggle with public speaking.
This oil is beautiful with florals and citrus oils. I also love it with frankincense, basil, and litsea.
Have you tried this oil yet? I love that this option is available for us to use to care for little ones!

I get this question weekly so here is a quick recap on why I choose dōTERRA over other brands and why I created this space to share oil education about dōTERRA oils. The truth is there are SO many reasons I partner with dōTERRA, this post isn’t long enough to go into it all but these are the top reasons here
.
Number one for me is purity and testing, just like anything I put on my children, dōTERRA has to live up to those high standards, and they do! Essential oils have zero regulation, anyone could call a concoction in a bottle an essential oil and often do. Instead of using pure, therapeutic oils we are finding many companies cut corners and use synthetics, chemicals, fillers and unknown oils to get what they claim is a pure oil. Because dōTERRA goes above and beyond with testing and releasing those batch results I feel safe knowing only what the bottle says is going on my babies. Plus dōTERRA puts each oil through eight separate tests, including those from a third party lab!
.
Co-Impact sourcing is another huge deal, what this means is dōTERRA is providing fair wages to the growers, harvesters and distillers, instead of working with brokers like so many other companies do. This benefits us by insuring the oils are Pure from the start (above organic standards!) and the whole process from growing onward dōTERRA is a partner in.
.
Oils are sourced from climates they thrive in, this is HUGE! Lavender from Utah is vastly different than Lavender from France, or other areas that it thrives in. Anyone can grow a plant but sourcing it from the perfect climate and soil is a true art and means my oils are extremely chemically diverse. Which = more effective and potent.
.
When it comes to using oils, which are powerful plant medicine, I feel super confident using my dōTERRA oils from the first moments of new life to anything else. These oils have worked miracles for myself and my family. From infertility to everyday things like acne and head tension. Once you experience dōTERRA there is no going back
.
dōTERRA fans, what is your number one reason for choosing dōTERRA?
So excited to get these free today!!

RED MANDARIN
.
comes from mature mandarin fruit. It has a sweet, almost floral aroma. doTERRA Red Mandarin essential oil is sourced in Brazil.
.
Red Mandarin promotes positive, cheerful feelings. You can diffuse, breathe it from your hands, or even apply to your skin. Red Mandarin also has calming properties on the nervous system when taken internally.
Red Mandarin contains 65–75 percent limonene in its composition which accounts for its cleansing and uplifting effects. Red Mandarin also includes gamma-Terpinene (y-terpinene), which is found in Tea Tree (Melaleuca) and other purifying oils. Red Mandarin is cleansing to the skin and air. It can be especially helpful in improving oily skin.
Red Mandarin essential oil is beneficial to the digestive system also. Dilute one drop in 4 oz. of water. Considered the sweetest of the citrus fruits, its fruit is used in salads and desserts. You may enjoy adding a few drops to drinks, smoothies, and other recipes not just for the digestive benefits, but also to add a different, sweet twist to your usual flavors.
.
KUMQUAT
The Fortunella japonica tree produces a small orange fruit, the size of a large olive. Although the oil cold pressed from the rind of its fruit is composed primarily of cyclic monoterpene limonene, Kumquat is quite distinct among citrus oils.
Kumquat essential oil is anywhere from 70%-95% limonene, but of its other 105 known constituents, 46 have not been found in any other essential oil. So, while Kumquat does offer surface cleansing and mood uplifting benefits, many of its properties are unique. One study showed that, along with providing a pleasant citrus taste, Kumquat oil offers a boost of antioxidants when taken internally. With low levels of monoterpene myrcene, Kumquat has a calming effect when inhaled.
.
With powerful cleansing properties, Kumquat can be used for skin and hair health also. These skin benefits may be due to low levels of alpha -Pinene, which is found in frank and helichrysum.
.

This is such an easy way to clean your glasses or sunglasses, please use at own risk and be mindful that the lemon oil is extremely potent and can possibly eat through plastic frames or coating on sunglasses.
So easy! I used the dōTERRA 30ml Sprayer.
Fill your spray bottle 1/3 of the way with vinegar, 1/3 of the way with rubbing alcohol, and fill the rest of the way with distilled water, I added 2-3 drops lemon oil. Use a microfiber cloth to wipe clean.

Recently, the New York Times ran an article that brought awareness to the current frankincense situation. With the increase in its popularity and as more uses are found for the aromatic resin, the population of trees that produce it is on the brink of collapse.
.
According to a new study, "Boswellia populations are threatened by over-exploitation and ecosystem degradation, jeopardizing future resin production." Additionally, "Concerted conservation and restoration efforts are urgently needed to secure the long-term availability of this iconic product." The study’s authors estimate that without new trees to replace the old, half the intact forests — and half the frankincense they produce — will be gone within 20 years.
.
Frankincense is one of the most well known health promoting substances on earth. Unfortunately, as the demand has increased, more and more companies are trying to cash in on its popularity without considering the long term effects of over harvesting frankincense trees.
.
Thankfully, one of doTERRA's missions is to preserve these incredible plants while providing this precious oil. They had the foresight to create reserves of the highest quality frankincense resin, so they will be able to continue to offer it while allowing the trees to rest for 2 years.
.
Another way doTERRA is working to preserve frankincense trees, is by partnering with biologists, researchers, and conservationists, to help the people harvesting the frankincense understand how to harvest without risking the life of the tree. Additionally, doTERRA has supported initiatives that involve planting, growing, and protecting frankincense trees, and thereby also supporting the communities who rely on the income from those trees for their families survival.
.
It's heartbreaking that so many companies are unaware or apathetic. I'm so glad doTERRA is working to protect the supply of frankincense, not just for themselves and for us, but this will ensure the availability of frank for everyone, not just people who purchase doTERRA oils.
.
If you love frank like I do, tell me one way you use it! If you don’t have oils yet, and want more info about getting started, just send me a message!
We are on our last dishwashing tablet in our house and we are so excited to give this DIY a go and make the swap in our household. Many worry that a dishwasher uses much more water however apparently, a dishwasher actually uses less.
Do you hand wash or do you use a dishwasher?

"Dishwasher powder ✨
.
Ever looked at the ingredients in store bought dishwasher tablets? The smell of chemicals and artificial lemon makes me want to vomit be honest. And we are washing our dishes with these toxic products and then eating off them.. doesn’t sound very smart.
.
I have been making my own for over a year now and will never go back. Simple, easy, cheap!
.
1 cup bicarbonate soda
1/4 cup citric acid
1 tablespoon on guard cleaner concentrate/natural dishwashing liquid.
10 drops of grapefruit
.
Mix everything together in a glass bowl and give it a mix every half an hour till it’s dried and set in powder form. Store in a glass air tight jar.
.
I swear by the doterra on guard cleaner concentrate, it’s the only product I still purchase and it’s amazing. You can substitute for a natural dishwashing liquid or Castile soap.
.
I use plain old vinegar as my rinse aid in my dishwasher. It helps removes any residue and you get a clearer finish on your glassware.
