Thieves Household Cleaner as a Laundry Detergent

I have not bought any type of laundry detergent or laundry products for 6 or 7 years now. I use Thieves Household Cleaner in place of laundry detergent. I love it so much that I haven't used anything else since.

Here's how I use it:

In my front loading washer, I put into the detergent dispensor one capful (Tablespoon) of Thieves Household Cleaner - and that's it!

I never use bleach or fabric softener - I don't have to! Beacuse Thieves cleaner is not a soap it doesn't make clothes feel stiff or scratchy. My clothes smell really good too.

I save a lot of money on laundry products by only needing this one product.

Thieves cleaner is an excellent option for those whowant to minimize their exposure to cancer-causing household products and want to have a Green lifestyle.

Thieves Household Cleaner is all-purpose - I even wash my car with it! ~ Evelyn Vincent

Deep Relief Essential Oil RollOn for Dog Back Pain

A few years ago Bandit injured his back and sometimes he gets stiff from it and you can see he feels quite uncomfortable. Bandit loves the Young Living essential oils and often we let him choose which oil he wants applied.

Last summer his back was bothering him pretty badly and I asked him if he wanted Palo Santo, he didn't give his usual positive response. So I went to my essential oil case and held various bottles of essential oils about 12 inches from his nose and asked him if he wanted this oil. He still didn't give me his usual 'yes' sign and I was running out of options.

Instead, he walked over to the coffee table and pushed a new essential oil that we had just gotten in, Deep Relief RollOn. I picked up th Deep Relief and said, "do you want oils?" and there was his yes response. It took some effort to apply the deep Relief as I have to move his long hair out of way so the ball of the rollon applicator could make contact with his skin, but we did it. About 10-15 minutes later he was feeling much better. So now he has two favorite essential oils, Palo Santo and Deep Relief!

Frankincense and Boswellia Cream for Wrinkles

This is my most favorite way to prevent wrinkles...

Put 2 drops of Young Living Frankincense essential oil in the palm of your hand, then dip your finger into the essential oil and gently dab onto face (avoiding contact with eyes). After a minute, apply the Young Living Boswellia Wrinkle Cream onto face and neck area.

Note: the Boswellia Wrinkle Cream is very concentrated, you will only need a tiny amount.

High Potency Probiotic: Life 5

Over the past 30 or more years I've tried many different brands of probiotics, some of which didn't have any effect whatsoever. I was very excited when Young Living created "Life 5" and couldn't wait to give it a try. I really like it's effectiveness.

I especially like the ingredients in Life 5, it contains five clinically proven probiotic strains including three advanced super strains to enhance intestinal health, sustain energy and improve immunity. Life 5 contains 8 billion active cultures and improves colonization up to 10 times.

A few weeks ago I ate some food that didn't agree with me and my stomach began hurting and rumbling. I took 2 Life 5 capsules and within 5-10 minutes I was feeling back to normal. I'm empressed with Young Living's Life 5.
