Gift #2

This charcoal mask isn’t just any ole mask you can find at Target. This mask is free from harsh and synthetic ingredients. It’s free from parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, animal-derived ingredients, synthetic preservatives, synthetic fragrances, and synthetic dyes. It’s so hard to find face masks these days that are not only clean, but WORK.

YL’s charcoal mask uses Tahitian volcanic black sand that gently exfoliates. The activated charcoal within this formula is found in both China and South Africa and has properties that absorb impurities to help detox the skin, purify pores, and reduces the appearance of blemishes to help restore an even skin tone. This mask also contains a blend of natural alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) derived from European bilberries, Argentine lemons, Czech sugar beets, Spanish grapes, and more. Talk about a bougee pamper! 

THE BREAKDOWN:

TOTAL COST: $50 +tax

Add a little description card to this skin care gift so you can let your someone special know how unique and one of a kind this face mask is! 

You can even include the following instructions on how to use it straight from YL: 
“For oily, combination, and normal skin: Cleanse face with a gentle, non-irritating cleanser; then apply a thin layer of the mask to clean face and allow the mask to harden for 5–20 minutes. Once the mask has changed color and is hard, rinse with warm water to remove. Avoid the eye area, nostrils, and lips. Follow with the rest of your skin care routine, including moisturizer to rehydrate. Use 1–3 times per week.

For dry and sensitive skin: Apply a thin layer of the mask to clean face and allow the mask to harden for 5–10 minutes. Once the mask has changed color and is hard, rinse with warm water to remove. Avoid the eye area, nostrils, and lips. Your skin will likely feel dry after rinsing, so promptly follow with the rest of your skin care routine, including moisturizer to rehydrate. Use as needed or as a spot treatment.

Due to the exfoliating factor of the AHAs, the natural astringency of Peppermint essential oil, and the detoxing nature of kaolin clays and activated charcoal, you will likely experience a tingling sensation. Some may even experience pink or red skin directly after use. This is temporary, normal, and means the mask is working.”

Gift #3

This brownie bundle idea is PERFECT for a family member/friend who loves to bake! Maybe you want to inspire some family cooking time for someone with kiddos! You can include a card in your gift that says “For your family baking night of fun” or some cute theme idea included. 

If you haven’t tried making your brownies using YL peppermint oil, you’re truly missing out. Cooking with YL oils gives a whole new meaning to life, lol. Whoever you give this gift to will send you a “thank you” text after their first mouthwatering, pepperminty bite of deliciousness. 

 

THE BREAKDOWN:

TOTAL COST:  Around $18 +tax

If you want to add any additional items to this bundle for your favorite baker in mind here are a couple of other items you can include! 

 PS. Include this recipe card to your gift. 


Here’s the recipe:

  1. Mix your brownie batter per instructions on your box. 

  2. Mix 3 drops of peppermint EO

  3. Bake as instructed and voila! 

Gift #4

Have a niece, sister, and/or friend you need a quick idea for? This fingernail polish set is a simple, yet thoughtful gift idea. Many people don’t realize how harmful fingernail polish removers and nail polishes can be when absorbed through the skin. Some toxic chemicals that studies have shown to be absorbed by the skin include: formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde resin, and camphor. YUCK!

This gift idea can be a great way to fill them in on making the switch to cleaner alternatives to use! Lemongrass oil literally has so many uses. It makes a great pest be gone during those summer nights, iis great for skin, iand is a potent defender when it comes to fighting off the nasties. Not only is this oil great for all those things, but did you know it can also remove fingernail polish?? Yes! Say goodbye to harsh chemicals that seep into our or our children’s pores! 

THE BREAKDOWN:

TOTAL: Around $21

Gift #5

I love how simple this idea gift is. Sometimes giving gifts to inspire creativity in others, promoting family time, and just bringing back the “old school” idea of baking from scratch is just the gift people love to be surprised by. Taking time out of our busy schedules to bake with loved ones is one of the greatest memories of the holiday season. What better gift to give someone?!

In a world surrounded by social media photo dumps, we need to bring back printing out family photos to have in albums around the house. I love being able to sit down to go through family photos.

It’s something that can be passed down to future generations. A photo album is the perfect thought for someone. If you want, you can even gift them with a gift card to your photo place of choice so they can print out photos!

I cannot think of a better oil to gift during the holidays than the one and only Christmas Spirit! The cinnamony aroma puts a smile on my face every time I diffuse it.

Gift #17

Have a kiddo that’s constantly on screens at school or a friend who works behind one?! This is the perfect, unexpected gift for them that has a touch of cute with practical! These blue light glasses are not only cute, but help block out the blue light that is the most damaging form of light to our eyes.

Let’s also chat about Illumineyes real quick because not enough people know about this powerhouse supplement. Do you deal with brain fog, headaches, or tired eyes after spending time behind a computer or tv? Blue light travels all the way through our cornea to reach our retina which contains a small group of cells called a macula. This is why blue light is the most damaging form of light because it is able to reach the macular cells. The macula contains cells called carotenoids and it’s so imperative we keep these cells from deteriorating over time. This is especially important for our kids who start out at such a young age staring at electronics for many hours of the day. 

Illumineyes provides our body’s intake of macular carotenoids! The intake of these specific carotenoids is extremely low in our regular diet. That’s why it is vital to supplement with them!
