Ditch & Switch

Would you give your kids a tiny bit of antifreeze everyday? Would you let them smoke one cigarette a day? Would you let them apply roundup on their hands to sanitize them? Or use petroleum (gasoline) for their dry skin? HECK NO! Right? You’re probably sitting there thinking that this is insane. 

Let me tell you, though, some of these ingredients are allowed in thousands of products that we are using every day. Antifreeze is found in a ton of toothpastes. Neurotoxin (toxic to the brain) are foods or products with colorants/food dyes. Lighting a candle for just one hour a day is the same as breathing in secondhand smoke. Triclosan is in products marked antibacterial and was originally created as a pesticide because of its extended time to kill after applied. 

But it’s fine. We’re just brushing our teeth twice a day. We’re just lighting a candle for one hour. A little bit isn’t going to hurt us...right? Is it really worth that risk? If you think your products are clean, download the ThinkDirty app & start scanning products in your household to see what is actually in them. Then after you’ve decided it’s time to ditch those products...you might want to switch to Young Living. 

Young Living has a whole line of Thieves cleaning/household products that are plant-based, non-toxic and safe to use around your kids, pets & family. They replace the harsh chemicals with pure, therapeutic grade essential oils and other naturally derived ingredients. Another great part about the Thieves line? It is SO SUPER concentrated that you can dilute it to make it last even longer & make it even more cost efficient. 

It’s not just your cleaning products, it is your skin & hair care products too! Young Living has a makeup line (Savvy Minerals) & an AMAZING line of hair & body care for adults, kids & even pets! Don’t be overwhelmed. The easiest thing to do is to replace your items as they run out. When you run out of shampoo, switch to YL. When you run out of laundry detergent, switch to Thieves. Slowly but surely, you will be living in a toxic free home!

I know your first question...isn't non-toxic expensive? Well yes, it can be. But Young Living has done an amazing job making their products so concentrated that a little will go a long way. I've created a PDF that highlights all of the price points when you ditch & switch to the Thieves line so that you can see that your health is worth the investment.
