  • NON-TOXIC CLEANING - May I present to you my new favorite cleaning book!!👏🏽💘 It’s by @cleanmama and it’s so good you guys! . It’s simple to understand all the bad-for-you ingredients, she has awesome DIYs and if you aren’t a fan of DIYs or have time for them, there’s also a list of cleaners you can buy that aren’t harmful! . She goes room by room so that it’s easier to follow along plus also easier to conquer the cleaning part 🧽🧼✨ I love it so much that I’ve made notes on what I want to make starting with the simplest of scrubs for the nightly sink scrub. . NIGHTLY SINK SCRUB: 🍋2 cups baking soda 🍋20 drops essential oils (I followed her ratio of 15 lemon and 5 clove....which by the way is my very new favorite scent for kitchen) 🍋1-2 squirts of Castile soap (I use unscented Dr. Bronner’s) 🍋 Don’t forget to label so you won’t accidentally think it can go in your food 😳 (labels from @shareoils) . MAKE- Mix baking soda with oils (I used a big bowl as it’s easier to break the clumps), then scooped into my jar with lid. USE - wet sink, sprinkle liberally ADD the squirt or do of soap and scrub away ✨😊 OTHER - can also be used anywhere you need some abrasive cleaning action(I just used it on my stainless steel pot and pan). Can also be sprinkled on mattresses or carpets as a freshener. just let it sit to absorb odors and then vacuum it up. . . . . . . #obsessedwithessentials #doterra #nontoxic #dōterra #aromatheraphy #littlekitchenlab #healthyliving #holistic #nontoxiccleaning #cleanmama #essentialoilsrock #naturalsolutions #ditchandswitch #nontoxiccleaner #allpurposecleaner #tinyliving
  • TRAVEL COMPANION - If you’re looking for the crazy lady that cleans her tray, screen and pretty much anything she has to touch on a plane, I’m over here!!! 🙋🏻‍♀️😂 I always, always carry this little guy when traveling plus my cleaning wipes. I spritz and wipe! I feel like if I have to breathe in gross recycled air with germs, I may as well make my space clean. Am I right? 😷 Side note: I’m also the crazy lady lathering up with extra face moisturizers or hydrating masks 😂 What are some of your “crazy” travel habits? . . . . . #obsessedwithessentials #doterra #nontoxic #dōterra #aromatheraphy #littlekitchenlab #travel #healthyliving #holistic #delta #travelnecessities
  • CONFESSION - I am a VERY sweaty girl 🥵😂 If you know me you know this is true because you’ve seen me with my natural “glow/highlight” that shines through with minimal movement 💁🏻‍♀️ #sweatygirlchronicles #diaryofasweatygirl 💫 So, needless to say that not a single deodorant actually works for me (natural or not) and I ALWAYS have to reapply at some point in the day. Sometimes more than once. I usually wipe my pits as a “restart” and then reapply so I start fresh all over again. Cause just adding deodorant to the stink just still makes it stink 😷 💫 I don’t know about you, but I like scents. It’s one of the harder things to get used to with non-tox living. Which is why, when I made my linen spray I thought hmm 🤔 ‘I could spray my wipe with that and not just get the scent but the calming properties of the oils on me’ 💡 💫 Sooo I came up with my very own ‘PIT REFRESH SPRAY’ (feel free to pick whatever oils are your favorites or you feel like you consistently need). I picked this combo because Elevation ➕ bergamot ➕ balance trio smells soooooo good. And it makes me happy every single time. Plus the added bonus of tea tree (melaleuca). . I used an upcycled 15mL oil bottle with a spray top. 💧5 drops ELEVATION - This is the doterra’s joyful blend. It is uplifting for mood and mind, it energizes and refreshes and great for stress, anxiety and depression. 💧5 drops BERGAMOT - Antifungal, antibacterial, stress. 💧5 drops BALANCE - All things anxiety, calming and grounding. Because who doesn’t need this consistently in their life?? And if you’re already using the Balance deodorant it’s the perfect complement. 💧5 drops TEA TREE (melaleuca) - As we all know this is an antibacterial and antiseptic oil. Add a splash of witch hazel Fill the rest with distilled or filtered water (or if you prefer fill to top with witch hazel instead ) Labels and spray top from @shareoils . . . . . #essentialoils #essentialoils101 #doterraessentialoils #essentialoilsrock #obsessedwithessentials #doterra #community #natural #nontoxic #dōterra #naturalisbetter #aromatheraphy #littlekitchenlab #naturalremedies #naturalsolutions #essentialoilmagic #essentialoilsforthewin #oils #empowered #deodorant
  • NON-TOXIC CLEANER - Easiest all purpose cleaner you’ll ever make! I’m finally getting around to using my OnGuard concentrate and I’m pretty excited, I can’t wait to play around with it. I already love the oil which I use in my dish soap since it has super germ fighting powers. And now I will have a super simple cleaner that is safe (for kids and pets), cheap and smells amazing. Plus no more headaches from toxic fumes when you clean. Yay! . 🍋🍊SIMPLE ALL PURPOSE CLEANER (I’m using this one for kitchen and living room) -2 capfuls of Onguard cleaner concentrate (1 Tbsp) -20 drops of preferred cleaning oils. This time I’m using lemon for its purifying and cleaning properties as well as fresh scent and grapefruit because I love it and why not? -Fill rest with filtered water (I used distilled since that’s what I had) . . . . . #essentialoils #essentialoils101 #doterraessentialoils #essentialoilsrock #obsessedwithessentials #doterra #community #natural #nontoxic #dōterra #naturalisbetter #aromatheraphy #littlekitchenlab #naturalremedies #naturalsolutions #essentialoilmagic #essentialoilsforthewin #oils #empowered #ditchandswitch #nontoxiccleaner #allpurposecleaner #tinyliving

  • HAIR/SCALP MASK - I’m in need of help over here! Between the weather and whatever is wrong with me and maybe the water 🤔, my poor scalp has been suffering. I’m incorporating a weekly hair mask that I’m hoping will help with the itch and dryness while I figure out what’s going on with my me 🤞🏽 . Here a few of the added properties of the oils I chose: 💧Cedarwood - calming/anxiety, astringent, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory 💧Lavender- stress/anxiety, relaxing, soothing, anti-histamine 💧Tea tree (Melaleuca) -antiseptic, antibacterial, anti fungal, antiviral 💧Cypress - antibacterial, antiseptic, stimulant, tonifying 💧Rosemary- stimulant, improves brain function, nervousness Plus they’re all good for a hair loss remedy! 💁🏻‍♀️ 5 drops of each oil + 2 tablespoons of your choice of carrier oil. I used a mixture of regular coconut oil (not fractionated because I love the coconuty scent) and some pomegranate oil I’m trying to get rid of since I dislike the smell 😂 *NOTE - don’t do this mask if you have somewhere to be in the next 2 days where you need fabulous hair. Your hair will still be a bit oily even after 2 washes and an apple cider vinegar rinse 😄 . . . . #essentialoils #essentialoils101 #doterraessentialoils #essentialoilsrock #obsessedwithessentials #doterra #community #natural #nontoxic #dōterra#naturalisbetter #aromatheraphy #littlekitchenlab #longhairdontcare #dryscalp #hairmask #essentialoilmagic #naturalremedies #naturalsolutions #diy
  • 🌸HAPPY FRIDAY!🌸My name is Yanessa and this is the first time introducing myself on here because I’m very uncomfortable being in the spotlight 🙈😂 I live in New York City with my husband of a decade in a tiny apartment.
