Switching from store-bought laundry detergents to a homemade alternative is a game-changer for both your household and the environment. Commercial detergents often contain harsh chemicals like phosphates and sulfates that can irritate skin and contribute to environmental pollution. By crafting your own detergent, you can avoid these harmful additives and embrace a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.
Creating your own laundry detergent with natural ingredients not only ensures the absence of allergens and unwanted chemicals but also proves to be a more cost-effective and eco-friendly option. This shift supports a holistic approach to living and contributes to reducing plastic waste, as you reuse containers instead of constantly purchasing new detergent bottles. Plus, adding a few drops of your favorite Young Living essential oils can infuse your laundry with fresh, natural fragrances, making laundry day a delight.
The recipe for homemade liquid laundry soap is simple and effective, producing up to 10 gallons per batch. With ingredients like Fels-Naptha soap, washing soda, and Borax, this detergent is gentle yet powerful enough for clean, fresh clothes. Simply add the essential oil of your choice, such as lavender, tea tree, or Thieves, to enhance its cleansing properties and enjoy a natural, aromatic laundry experience.

Back to Basics!
I had really forgotten what started it all!
Besides my dad dying from cancer and having children, this book is what got me thinking about how I wanted to live my life!
Tonight I was reminded of this book and the instructions in it. Honestly, I would say the instructions in this book have probably changed for many reasons, and I’ve learned so much more than the scope of this book.
But hearing the name tonight took me back to the time when I was afraid that my kids and I would just get cancer and die.
This year I have passed the age that my dad passed away after battling cancer for 10 years. As a teenager, watching him fight for life was sometimes frightening. This time of my life was also a lonely time, as my mom basically lived at the hospital with my dad and I was the last one at home throughout the high school years.
But then, having children, and thinking about them getting cancer and dying or leaving them home alone because I was fighting cancer, began a personal journey that I just could not walk away from.
This book! It has been so many years since I read it, but I learned so much at the time. It helped me realize that there is so much more to our well-being than what meets the eye. Today, I am thankful that the fear of cancer that gripped me before, is no longer a constant worry!
I’m not sure I can honestly recommend this book at this point, but I am thankful that it started a spark of curiosity for something different! I am forever grateful to have discovered Young Living along the way! What I’ve learned has empowered me to take charge of my well-being and embrace a more natural and holistic approach to life. Through Young Living, I have learned about the incredible power of essential oils and their potential to support our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. My kids would not be where they are today without this part of the journey!
So, share with me - what sparked your journey? Is there a book, a teacher, or a moment of inspiration that completely changed the trajectory of your life? Let's inspire and support each other on this incredible journey to wellness and abundance.

Self-Love: What does this mean to you?
There was a time when I didn’t have a healthy love for myself.
Growing up around a couple of adults that were vain and narcissistic I thought I would become the same if I simply took care of myself. You know…. take some time to enjoy something that I like, put on a little makeup or pamper myself?
My concern was a lie but it still ruled the way I lived and treated myself!

There was a time in my family when my kids were sick a lot!
It was an extremely difficult time that not only affected us physically but mentally as well.
Increased doctor visits, missed school and other activities kept me down and totally on edge.
