Since receiving our Young Living starter kit, I’ve been most surprised by the many uses of lavender, especially with children.

I knew it smelled great and relaxing, but it has replaced so many products in our home that have blown me away!

Lavender is key at our house for seasonal support and to promote normal healing injuries for my kiddos. It’s the star ingredient in the cream I use for the girls for happy, healthy skin.

I use a drop of lavender in my mascara for longer lashes (encourages hair growth). It’s a key component of my face blend, focus blend, anxiety blend and seasonal blend, it helps us all sleep, I could go on! (By the way, many of the oils for major blends mentioned above are also in the starter kit!)

And these results were with Young Livi t therapeutic grade lavender. Not “for aromatherapy” use varieties or types say they cannot be ingested. All lavender essential oils are definitely not created equal. (Please don’t drop some random lavender oil from the store in your mascara, y’all! That’s your eyes we’re talking about.)
