Shark Week + Essential Oils: Yes, Please!

July 28, 2018

At the close of Shark Week 2018, we thought that Suzanne Rodolfich's Shark Week-themed posts were too good not to share on our blog! Enjoy:)

Shark Skin? No, Thanks! Best Essential Oils for Skin Care

Essential Oils are a great, natural way to take care of your skin!

Did you know that shark skin actually looks and feels like little interlocking teeth? Um, no thank you!

Young Living offers SO many options for your skin! Here are a just a few top skin oils:

Top Essential Oils for Skin

Frankincense—helps create youthful appearance
Tea Tree—cleanses skin
Geranium—helps provide healthy, clear, glowing skin
Cypress—smooths skin
Copiaba—reduces redness
Sandalwood—soothes, tightens, cleanses
Blue Tansy—soothes, reduces redness, provides antioxidant
Kunzea—provides antioxidant benefits (check out the pics of how the Kunzea plant affects a barbed wire fence)

DIY Skin Care Recipes

My Toner Recipe

Witch Hazel
Equal parts Frankincense (glow), Lavender (soothe), Lemon, (brighten), Copiaba

My Skin Cream Recipe

I originally created this as a diaper cream, but now I use it for all sorts of skin issues.

Coconut oil
Shea butter
Equal parts Frankincense, Tea Tree, and Lavender

My Facial Serum Recipe

3 drops Frankincense
2 drops Myrrh,
1 drop Rose

Lots of options, right? I love that we can take care of our skin with non-toxic products that meet our skin’s unique needs!

Do you sleep like a shark? Best Oils for Sleep Support

So many sleep support oils, which are your favorites?

So apparently there’s lots of controversy about how and if and when sharks sleep:

They seem to be very active at night
Most species have to remain in motion, so for years scientists thought sharks didn’t sleep
However, now scientists think they enter periods of rest where they slow down, but their eyes are open, and it’s not a true deep sleep

Did I describe any of you with those facts? Maybe your kids?

I think many of us seek out essential oils because we need sleep support—that was my reason 5 years ago!

But just like there are lots of things we don’t know about sharks’ sleeping habits, there are so many variables with our own sleeping habits that finding an Essential Oils combo for sleep support can be trial and error.

Best Oils for Sleep Support

Lavender: Most people start with Lavender—this doesn’t work for me or Jonna
Frankincense: this is a fav in our house and a Lavender + Frankincense combo can be powerful
Stress Away
Peace and Calming

If you really want to sleep like the dead, then consider these heavy hitters:

Valor
Valerian
Rutavala
DreamCatcher

And then there are a few that kids especially find calming:

Gentle Baby
Roman Chamomile
SleepyIze

And finally, you may want to consider WHY you aren’t sleeping: Are you worried? Is your child needing a little extra security? Sometimes if we can support our emotions, we can sleep better.

Suzanne's Picks

So—what do WE use for sleep support in our house?

The Kids

Jonna (6)—Frankincense, Valor, or Palo Santo
Zanna (5)—Frankincense, Valor, or Palo Santo
Mila (3)—Palo Santo and White Angelica
Vin (1)—Lavender or Peace and Calming

The Adults

Me—Valor or Rutavala (the kids would use the Rutavala, too, but that’s liquid gold and I’m a little stingy with it )
The hubs—whatever I’m diffusing

And despite this lengthy post, there are still more options—I feel like I am leaving so many good ones out!

Maybe you can help me out—what are your family’s favorite oils for sleep support?

Skip the Blue Shark Blues: Essential Oils for Mood Support

No need to feel like the Blue Shark! Try out these tried and true mood boosting oils.

This is the blue shark—according to my friends Google and Wikipedia, they are sort of sluggish and lethargic in their movements.

Top Oils for Mood Boosting

If you’re feeling the same way, maybe a little down, a little blue, here are some oily tips to try:

A drop of Frankincense Vitality daily under the tongue (this is a my go-to mood lifter)
Frankincense + Lemon in the diffuser
A few drops of Joy in your hands and inhale
Ylang Ylang + Orange in the diffuser
Super B an energy and mood lifter all in one—do you know how much our body NEEDS B vitamins? They are vital! I made this a part of my daily routine after I had Vin.
NingXia Red—daily, daily, daily! In addition to about a hundred other things, it supports healthy energy levels and regulates blood sugar (anybody else get HANGRY?)
