Ryleigh was born on the first day of Spring which is very fitting for her! I had chosen "Here Comes the Sun" by the Beatles to be "her song" before she was even born :) And I am telling you, this girl loves to smile and laugh...most of the time anyway haha! She also LOVES being outside. One of the reasons I am sooo glad it is not Spring and warmer outside (well except for this weekend). Which brings me to the rest of this post. Along with Spring comes two major things: spring cleaning and allergies! doTERRA essential oils have some great solutions to both!
I absolutely love cleaning with doTERRA essential oils because I know they are much safer than normal cleaning products, and having a one year old crawling (and sometimes licking) all over the floors, I have peace of mind knowing they are clean and not cleaned with chemicals that are not safe to ingest. Here are a couple of my favorite oils for cleaning:
- OnGuard: protective blend that helps support the immune system; Wild Orange essential oil, combined with Clove, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary offer a fragrant, natural and effective alternative to cleaning products. I add OnGuard essential oil to a glass spray bottle an water (sometimes a little vinegar) as a countertop and multi-purpose cleaner. I love the Fall cider smell it reminds me of :) I also add OnGuard to my Shark Steam Mop to sanitize the floors.
- Lemon: Lemon has such a fresh and cleansing scent that I love! It is also great for disinfecting surfaces. Lemon is great for creating a streak free shine on stainless steel and glass, so I add a little to a vinegar/water mixture in a glass bottle to have on handy! Lemon essential oil is also great for cleaning fresh fruits and veggies! If you are looking to also spring clean your own body, adding a drop into your glass of water is a great detox! (Note: not all brands of essential oils are safe to take internally)

Allergies! Everyone hates allergies. Jake has HORRIBLE allergies and most prescription and over the counter medications only somewhat help, so I am so excited that doTERRA has a completely natural supplement called TriEase that has been known to significantly help allergies! My cousin's husband has gone off all allergy medication by taking these soft gels. TriEase is made up of three essential oils, lemon, lavender, and peppermint, that together combat allergies like no other! You can use the actual essential oils yourself and take them internally with a Veggie Capsule, but since those cannot be made ahead of time, the TriEase supplements are so convenient! Jake just started taking them since allergy season is come soon, and I can't wait to let you all know how well they have done! Let me know if you would like to order them or get more information.
And if you find yourself with an allergy attack, Breathe essential oil blend is absolutely wonderful for opening your airways and letting you breathe much easier. We all LOVE breathe at my house.
I sure do love Spring, just not these two things that come with it, cleaning and allergies. Thank goodness I have doTerra essential oils on my side to help me through ;)
