Making the switch

Hi folks!

I just can’t help falling in love with Thieves collection..


The first one I have fallen in love with is the Thieves essential oil which gives our immune system the extra boost, added to manuka honey, it just soothe my sore throat and ulcers.


Next, thanks to my friend who recommended the Thieves Household Cleaner. The first time I used it to mop the floor on CNY eve before my “balik kampung” a.k.a. back-to-hometown trip, 4 days later when i returned home, I am being welcome with the nice lemon and thieves smell once I opened the door..what a pleasant surprise and love at first “scent” for me




Subsequently, I went on to try the following Thieves series each month as I redeem them with my points:
  • Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier- great for travels with kids especially!), Thieves spray(my frequent aid-on-the-go) 
  • Thieves Laundry Soap- yey no more chemical smell on the clothes and bedsheet! 
  • Thieves Dental floss- my daughter’s recent addition to her dental care regime) 
  • Thieves Cleansing soap- it helps with my skin rashes and more economical for savvy momma, 
  • Thieves Dish Soap - friendly on my hands, I can finally wash my dishes without wearing gloves and safe for kids to help out too! 
and last but not least...the latest addition to My Thieves Try-out collection .......is

Thieves Fruit and Veggie Spray- great for My On-the-go kitchen. Now I don’t have to worry when I am cooking and eating out without my Fruits and Vege cleaner

What’s more the best thing is, I got these for FREE!

How? ‘Cos YL rewards their members with generous PV points rebate(10%, 20% and 25%!) on top of their purchase of YL products at wholesale price. This is certainly another great incentives and great way to ditch the chemical laden products in my family and opt for a more friendly version




Does your local supermarket reward you with free gift of your choice for purchasing your household cleaning supplies? Are you thinking to ditch the chemical laden products at home and switch to a chemical free home for your family? Just give me a buzz if you are interested to find out how you can do so and be rewarded too! As a mom of 3, I often look for best bargain to gain the most benefits of the money spent. So feel free to contact me if you wish to find out which if the promo items that worth to invest!

Alternatively, you can also easily sign up online as member and enjoy the oils at wholesale price here.

Try to get the membership and buy it at wholesale price(it's more worth it!) rather than paying at retail price or buying elsewhere. You gained more than just wholesale price..you will also get some promo and free oils from their loyalty plan. So it's killing two birds with one stone!

Folks, make the choice to live a chemical free home starting from the ones we used daily. Each chemical ditches is an awesome you can give to yourself and loved ones at home! Will you make the switch for the health of you and your family too?

Cheers and have a chemical free day!

Chemicals and Choices We make

Hi folks!

When I read about the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 in California requires that the Governor revise and republish at least once per year the list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity.  

Seriously, if we wonder how these days people are not as healthy as before despite the advancement in medical and healthcare. Does anyone realised how many types of chemicals we are exposing ourselves daily from the day we wake up, brush our teeth, clean our face, shower and drinking and eating from plastic made of BPA material, etc.

Check out our household products, skincare or even processed/junk food we have at home whether they appear in this Proposition 65 list of chemicals.

Time to take a close look and ditch the chemical that is adding the burden into our body detox system. Try to use glassware and not to reuse or even reheat the food in plastic containers. Reduce the dependent on canned and processed food and go for whole food as much as possible. Note: It's also a reminder to myself...how we can balance between health over convenience sake! Make the right choice!

Go now, take out the common toothpaste,  containers, or skincare and check on the list. How many can you identify: 

https://www.p65warnings.ca.gov/chemicals


Sadly, many medicines are also listed in the list.


Now can we do ourselves a favour by ditching the chemicals in our daily life and stay clean as much as we can to reduce the burden we are adding on to our body detox system?


I have since changed to use glassware more than plastic containers. It is cheaper in the long run 🏃 

Also, I have switched to chemical free toothpaste, skincare, laundry soap, washing detergents and trying to avoid the convenience products like canned and processed food.


Still got a lot to work on I must say as our family members are so used to all these food and products. But as a mom we must make the right choice for our family! Hopefully we are able to include more of the good and none of the bad starting from our home 🏠 


Cheers and have a chemical free life!

Burning midnight oil and Crunching Numbers

Hi folks!

Recently I have to take a financial test which comes with lotsa mind-boggling calculations...

Honestly, I am not one who's very good with numbers and figures; and facing numbers too long makes me giddy and headache at times 😅 

I spent a lot of wee hours trying to make senses of the figures and formulas. Thus, at the end of the test, I rewarded myself with a pack of coconut water(which easily cost MYR4 a pkt nowadays at the roadside stall!)

During my revision and before my test, I applied the following oils:
1. Cedarwood- as this oil is oxygenating for the brain; brings more clarity of thoughts
2. BrainPower- what's more to say, I needed the extra boost of BrainPower to crunch my numbers! I applied on the big thumb of my toe and inhale it by taking 6 deep breathe (I did the same for my kids during their exam period)
3. Clarity- some ppl call this a "Mathematical" oil as it contains peppermint and rosemary and thus promotes clarity and alertness, awesome oil to have when you need to go through some new learning task at hand 👍

I have passed my test 🙌 Another tick on my bucket list - lifelong learning! I am glad I took up the challenge and now I felt more empathetic towards the challenges that my children might be facing at their study. Hopefully by seeing mommy still working hard to improve her knowledge and skills despite out of school for so long motivates them to work hard at their school work too! 

As the Chinese sayings goes, 活到老學到老, Live and learn; Never too late/old to learn...Anyone on this path with me 👋

My next adventure..mastering a musical instrument with my kids perhaps 😄✌️

Thanks 🙏 to these oils that accompanied along the journey!
