'Spring' Cleaning

Yes, I know it's 85 degrees and school is out but, technically it's not summer yet, so here's my Spring Cleaning post!

I'm quite the opposite of a hoarder; I throw away everything! When it comes to under my sink, however, there seems to be a plethora of household cleaning products. A product for mirrors, one for the kitchen, one for bathrooms, one for toilets, one for carpets...yada, yada, yada. Insanity! I kept putting off purchasing YL Thieves household cleaner because I didn't want to shell out the twenty bucks but, as I inventoried my sink collection, I realized all those different bottles added up to well over $20.

Since Thieves can be safely used on any surface in your home, and most mixtures only use a single capful, it was a no-brainer to finally order my first bottle. Now as I anxiously await it's arrival, I can't help but wonder what the heck took me so long?! I am SO excited to throw out all the yucky, stinky chemicals under my sink and replace them with a single bottle of plant and mineral-based cleaner. Not to mention, Thieves smells delicious--like being outdoors in the fall delicious. Here's just a few things you can do with Thieves household cleaner (don't forget to use a glass spray bottle when using citrus oils!) What's your favorite way to clean with Thieves?

Oil Organization

Organizing makes me happy--like two glasses of Pinot happy. Yes, THAT happy! So you can imagine my happiness when my love of organization and essential oils collided in an aisle at TJ Maxx. I discovered this adorable little makeup organizer for $7! SEVEN DOLL HAIRS, Y'ALL! The best part? Unlike most lipstick organizers (which perfectly hug 5ml bottles of essential oil) this also has larger cubes for nail polish--which perfectly hug 15ml bottles! [Insert jazz hands emoji.] Just make sure to use these bottle labels so you can quickly locate the oil you need (how colorful and pretty do they look, too?!) What ways to you organize and store your oils?
