My Favorite Natural Products

September 26, 2018 by Jaimi Erickson Leave a Comment

Ready to have the ENERGY to be the best mom you can be? Get started! Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome back! Did you already get started here?

My 4 favorite natural products that are not essential oils. I never knew it was this easy to live a natural lifestyle.

{Post by Heather}

I’ve been purchasing my favorite natural products from Young Living religiously for a year now. I can’t believe it’s already been a year! I initially started using them to diffuse them to make my house smell better without toxic chemicals. You can read all about my personal journey with essential oils in this post.

So I got my Young Living starter kit for a Christmas gift and started diffusing away. But imagine my surprise when I started looking through their catalog and realized they were so much more than just essential oils.

They carry everything from natural supplements to mineral makeup to baby care and everything in between.

I still consider myself an essential oil and Young Living newbie, but I’ve learned a lot this past year. In the beginning it was slightly overwhelming to decide what I was going to put into my Essential Rewards order. (Don’t know what Essential Rewards is? Click here to find out all about it!).

I’ve tried many different oils, but I’ve also tried a lot of their natural products as well.

Because I know just how overwhelming it can be I wanted to share with you 4 of my favorite natural products from Young Living that aren’t essential oils.

Favorite Natural Products

My 4 favorite natural products that are not essential oils. I never knew it was this easy to live a natural lifestyle.

ART Refreshing Toner

I just recently purchased this natural toner, and I LOVE everything about it. I have tried other toners in the past and they irritated my skin.

I’m talking bright red irritation. EEK!

This toner is gentle enough, but effective in helping me feel refreshed and balanced. In part thanks to the amazing essential oils that are in it. The natural fragrance from the essential oils is such a great balance.

Benefits of the Art Refreshing Toner

  • Gently removes impurities without drying the skin.

  • Reduces the appearance of pores.

  • Helps balances your skin’s pH with a perfect blend of essential oils.

  • Leaves your face clean, toned, and refreshed.

I can honestly tell you that my skin feels better, cleaner and clearer since I started using this toner.

I had given up on finding a toner I liked until I started using this one. The best part is that a little goes a long way with this bottle. It lasts forever!

You only need a tiny bit and it will cover your entire face and neck!

Satin Facial Scrub Mint

This natural skin scrub is great at exfoliating while also calming my skin and reducing redness. I also think it helps with my acne since it removes any oil or buildup from my makeup.

I love using it after a very long day at work and just scrubbing the day away.

Benefits of the Satin Facial Scrub Mint

  • Exfoliates

  • Removes dry and dead skin cells

  • Gentle, but effective

  • Leaves your face glowing and radiant skin

This face wash is great at leaving my face soft and smooth. It has helped support clear skin and doesn’t use harsh chemicals.

I like that it’s effective, but doesn’t irritate my skin like other face washes I’ve used in the past.

Inner Defense

These tiny capsules pack a punch for sure! I’ve wanted to try natural supplements for awhile, but wasn’t happy with anything on the current market.

I wanted something that was going to make me feel amazing both inside and out. This Young Living product does just that.

Inner Defense supplies me with a healthy dose of everything I need to stay on top of my crazy life. I also like that the capsules aren’t full of harmful things that are going to negatively affect my body.

Benefits of Inner Defense

  • Promotes healthy respiratory function

  • Reinforces systemic defenses

  • Contains potent essential oils like oregano, thyme and Thieves®

I take this in the morning after eating breakfast. I’ve found that if I take it on an empty stomach it upsets it so if you’re prone to that happening when you take medicine make sure to eat a little something with it.

I feel so much better when I start my days with this supplement. I feel like I have more energy, and I am staying well!

Slique Essence

This is technically an essential oil blend, but I love the entire Slique product line of dietary supplements …sooo there’s that. 😉

This is one of my favorite products first and foremost because of it’s amazing taste. It adds a great taste to my morning water with all the essential oils that are blended in there. It’s actually quite delicious.

Benefits of Slique Essence

  • Control hunger

  • Flavorful with grapefruit, tangerine and lemon

  • Can help aid with digestion

I think it helps curb my hunger pangs and also gives me a great amount of essential oils that help me feel fuller longer.

I also like that it helps my digestion (which routinely gets messed up with my sensitive stomach). If you’re looking for something to add to your everyday routine this is perfect.

It helps you in so many important ways.

So there you have it! My 4 favorite natural products from Young Living that aren’t essential oils.

I had no idea Young Living had so many different products that were all-natural and great for your body both inside and out. I honestly feel great inside and out because of their products.

The best part is that Young Living is constantly adding more and more products. It’s great because I’m slowly switching everything toxic in my and my family’s life to all-natural products that I feel comfortable using.

So I’ve got to know have you heard of Young Living and all the benefits essential oils can bring into your life? What products interest you from Young Living?

Look into setting up your own Young Living membership with all the info here. We have a whole group of support and you get a lot of resources when you get started. It has been a great choice!

As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a As far as our home and homeschool, 2021 has been a dream so far! 

Kids are eager to learn and ask for more, we have a system down, and I am even getting rest time in the evening after the kitchen is cleaned up. My husband and I get time together while the kids are still awake which is important for them to see. 

It has taken some realization of truth to create this peace and balance. Teaching my kids is a full time job. I am giving it that time this year and it is making all the difference. #shed #deadweightisgone #focusonthepresent #focusonfamily #thisismywork #homeschoolingmom #homeschoolingmama #homeschoolisafulltimejob #intentionalhomeschooling #intentionalmotherhood #intentionalmama #wifeandmother #homemakingmotivation #schoolathome #lifebalance
How long have you known your spouse? This guy an How long have you known your spouse? 

This guy and I met our senior year of high school. What a journey we were in for and did not ever realize! 

•4 kids + 1 miscarriage
•Navigating long distance relationship while dating, engaged and married
•Working to build faith as the center and focus of “us”
•Loving each other at our ugliest moments
•Building our home team for the long term

Every time the world feels heavy, chaotic, and strange, our marriage is a safe place. It makes our home calm amongst the storm of global politics. 

I have grown content with our imperfections- because there are much bigger problems to navigate in the world...am I right?! 😳

That brings me so much peace. 

Loving not only how well we work together but also the ways we still need to improve. That is where I am in my marriage. Grateful to have so much history with this guy. It fills my tank for all the years we have ahead of us to navigate as well.

It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, yo It does not matter if you are a man or a woman, you can not do it all well. 

Hi, my name is Jaimi and sometimes I deliver truth that cuts to the heart. 👌😉

Women have been fed a lie that they can and need to juggle it all. I have learned to juggle. Eventually balls fall. 

As I took on more because I was told all that mattered was my mindset, I inevitably had to set aside the tasks that God called me to do first. We never take on more and more and more and stay in balance without setting aside more than we should.

It is not a matter of mindset, it is a matter of priorities.

Have you heard of the “one thing every day”? Many make that a clean kitchen, workout completed or devotional time. My one this is my family. If I focus on them each day I feel successful. 

In my home there is peace. The world is in chaos, power has become currency, and morals have fallen away. But “me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

It has nothing to do with gender. No one can take on something new without setting aside something they were working on already. 

Peace and order in my home is worth it. I am setting aside the things that bring chaos into my life and home. I am only focusing on the things that serve God here. 

What have you done to focus on success with completing your priorities this year? Have you made small changes to get there or large leaps?

Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It m Today we took the Christmas decorations down. It marked the real start of 2021 for us. 

For some reason I am feeling ready for Spring cleaning. Funny enough, as I was cleaning out some flower pots that had gone a little stagnant over the colder weeks, I saw shoots! My plants think Spring is on its way-it has been warm here over the last few days. 

Being greeted by this view as we were piling into the van this morning, felt energizing. 

My steps heading in to 2021 are more careful, pragmatic. It feels good to feel on course, back to what matters most, and have zero guilt for what I will put on the back burner this year to stay focused on giving my family my best.

Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shippi Anyone else having about 3 Christmases with shipping challenges delaying packages? 🤣🤣

With family all long distance + the twins birthday 2 days after Christmas we end up with about 4 gift opening sessions over the course of Christmas week. I see no complaints from these kids. 😆 

How did package shipping go for you this year? Do you plan ahead for shipping gifts? 

We are definitely grateful for giving family. #christmasweek #giftopening #givinggifts #moregifts #feelingloved #holiday2020 #familytime2020

Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are Every ornament on our tree holds meaning. Many are kid-made; some were gifts to commemorate milestones like marriage and births; some we purchased each year with the theme of that year to remind us. 

A few ornaments have impact for other reasons. They beautify our tree while impacting the lives of female crafters in parts of the world that need to be lifted up. This new addition has a backstory. Swipe right to read it. 🌟💜 I am blessed to support the @younglivingfoundation 

I love the memories of my tree. So many favorite ornaments. 

Which of your ornaments are your favorite?

Our acts of kindness Christmas countdown has been Our acts of kindness Christmas countdown has been going well. Weaving the activities in as learning, art and service projects in our school days has been our way of fitting in the extras this month. 

It is not that we ignore acts of kindness other times of the year. An act per day when some require driving or leg work to drop off gifts, cards or gather supplies adds some time. 

I want to keep this going after Christmas too to keep us actively displaying love and being the hands and feet of Jesus. Probably more for me than the kids!

To do that I want to make a bigger list of actions we can take. We have 25 plus a couple resources from @shelivesfree  and @coffeecupsandcrayons I will plug into a blog post. 

One act we did was decorating and sending Christmas cards to the grandparents. It was our “keep the hands busy and the mouths quiet” during read aloud time. (My method...) 

What are the random acts of kindness on your list? What are acts of kindness others have done for you that have been appreciated?
