All Things Thieves

Throughout this class, we will share some shocking news about what is lurking in your cabinets and give you safer alternative options from Young Living's Thieves line. We'll even throw in a few bonus DIY recipes!


HOUSEHOLD MAKEOVER

The Environmental Working Group, a non-profit organization focused on the environment and public health, lists the safety information of common household products you use to clean your home. These products contain ingredients like carcinogens, asthma instigators, and poisons! Yikes! Many of the generic cleaners contain Phthalates which interfere with hormones and are known carcinogens.

DITCH those toxic cleaners and SWITCH them out with Thieves Household Cleaner! Thieves Household Cleaner has NO Phthalates. Instead, it contains two different sulfates that are derived from coconut oil and sugar. These all-natural and safe sulfates are considered surfactants, which means the Thieves Cleaner sticks to the surface, grabs the oil, and then washes it away easily with water. #ScienceIsCool

It can be used on many different surfaces: counters, bathrooms, floors, toys, clothes, carpet, mirrors, windows, and more. Spot check a small area before you use your Thieves Cleaner on a new surface.

This cleaner is also insanely cost effective. It is highly concentrated so you only need about a capful for every 2-3 cups of water! With this ratio, one small bottle will yield you about 29 16-oz spray bottles of safe, all- purpose cleaner... at just under $1 per spray bottle! Can't beat that price! Time to #DitchAndSwitch all your household cleaners for the Thieves all-purpose cleaner. Living above the wellness line and saving money at the same time. Double bonus!

The Thieves cleaner comes in a small or large bottle and even a convenient pre-mixed tiny spray bottle, which is great for shopping carts, public tables, and so much more!

  • Thieves Household Cleaner 14.4 fl oz or 64 oz (concentrated solution)

  • Thieves Spray 1 oz (pre-mixed)


DIY THIEVES SCRUB

If you are looking for a heavy-duty cleaning product, this is going to be your best friend. It's easy to make and highly effective!

THIEVES SCRUB

3 cups Baking Soda

¾ cup Thieves Household Cleaner

1 Tbsp Distilled White Vinegar

30 drops Young Living Lemon Essential Oil

Directions:

Combine all liquid ingredients in a bowl. Add baking soda one cup at a time and stir until a paste forms. Store in an air-tight container or jar. Best if used within three months.


DIY ALL-NATURAL WHITENER

When life gives you lemons, you make an all-natural whitener! Skip the harsh chemicals and make this safe and effective whitener. Use it in your laundry, the bathtub, and any other surface that needs a little brightening.

ALL-NATURAL WHITENER

3/4 cup 3% hydrogen peroxide

1/4 cup lemon juice

10-15 drops Young Living Lemon essential oil

3/4 cup baking soda

7 cups water

Directions

Combine all ingredients in a container capable of holding 1/2 gallon or more.

Shake well before use.

Use one cup per load and wash with hot water for best results.


BATHROOM MAKEOVER

The FDA “has not defined the term ‘natural’ and has not established a regulatory definition for this term in cosmetic labeling.” (read more HERE) That means "natural" is a very loose term when used in your personal care products. Long story short, don't be fooled by clever marketing. Know what's in your products!

Did you know? The FDA has banned the chemical Triclosan from hand soaps because it was not proven to be effective or safe. However, this chemical is still being used in toothpaste and teeth whitening products, antiperspirants/deodorants, shaving products and creams. Explain that one!? If it wasn’t proven safe to use and is known to cause an interaction with hormone receptors along with other health concerns, then WHY is it still in other products?

Thankfully, that harmful chemical is NOT found in ANY of Young Living products! Young Living oral care products are designed with the technology to clean and freshen breath throughout the day without the use of any harsh chemicals.

Try these Young Living favorites for your bathroom makeover...

  • Thieves Dentarome Ultra Toothpaste

  • Thieves AromaBright Toothpaste 4-oz

  • Thieves Whitening Toothpaste

  • Thieves Dental Floss

  • Thieves Fresh Essence Mouthwash 8-oz

Toothpaste Hack: The Thieves AromaBright Toothpaste can also double as a deodorant. WHAT!? Yep! Take a pea size amount on your finger and rub it onto your underarm area. Avoid applying immediately after shaving.


KITCHEN MAKEOVER

You may think, “Why do I need to worry about the soap I use to wash my dishes? I am not eating them or putting them on my body.” That is correct, you aren't eating the plate for lunch. However, you do put food ON your dishes, the food picks up the detergent residue on the dishes and then you ingest the food. That means that you ARE ingesting the detergent. You also inhale the chemicals as the dishwasher releases them during washing. Yikes! Time to use the Thieves Automatic Dishwasher Powder!

The fact that the entire family uses dishes makes it very important to make sure your kitchen products are safe for everyone. Easily swap out your not-so-safe dish soap with Thieves Dish Soap! This is a powerhouse soap infused with Jade Lemon, Bergamot, Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, and Rosemary essential oils. It contains one of the most gentle surfactants around, often used in baby shampoo, called Decyl Glucoside. Perfect for the most sensitive skin!

Don't be fooled by fewer bubbles while washing. That means they didn’t add that harmful chemical that makes bubbles! Still can't get over washing dishes without bubbles? Simply put 2/3 of the highly concentrated Thieves dish soap in a canning jar, leaving 1/3 in the squeeze bottle. (Once you have a spare Thieves dish soap bottle, you can use that.) Add 1-3 tsp of baking soda into the Thieves bottle that contains 1/3 of your Thieves dish soap. Fill the rest of the bottle with water and shake. The baking soda will add all kinds of bubbles and you just got THREE bottles of dish soap in one! #Win

Other kitchen favorites:

  • Thieves Fruit & Veggie Spray (for on-the-go fruit & veggie washing)

  • Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak

  • Thieves Foaming Hand Soap

Thieves Dish Soap Hack: You can use Thieves Dish Soap in the dishwasher! Just add 5 drops of the dish soap in the soap compartment and you are good to go!


LAUNDRY MAKEOVER

Using safe laundry detergent means one more step to living above the wellness line. It is one of the first things to replace because it affects the entire family. Replacing toxic laundry detergent and dryer sheets with toxin-free products means that there is no more wearing clothes or rolling in sheets that are filled with chemicals. These chemicals are transferred onto your skin and absorb into your body throughout the entire day.

It is common to see harmful chemicals like Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) in detergents. It is a foaming agent that has been linked to irritation of the skin and eyes, organ toxicity, developmental/reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, endocrine disruption, and biochemical or cellular changes, possible mutations, and cancer. There is some controversy over whether SLS is safe or harmful, but to be honest, if there is any question that it could cause the things listed, it seems better to avoid it.


AIR FRESHENERS

Air fresheners can be some of the WORST culprits. Check THIS out! The term “fragrance” can be composed of hundreds of “ingredients” but under U.S. regulations, those hundreds of ingredients don't have to be disclosed. They're considered a "trade secret." Read more HERE!

That means when you see the word “Fragrance" listed on a label, you don’t really know what you are getting. No wonder so many people get a headache when they are around air fresheners and perfume! Replace your air fresheners and candles with a diffuser and pure, effective Young Living essential oils.

You can use an essential oil like Lavender to not only fill your room with a fresh aromatic bouquet, but also to calm your mood and help you get a restful night of sleep. You can diffuse Thieves, Lemon, or Purification essential oils to eliminate odors and provide an uplifting scent.
