• Lavender Lotion as a leave in conditioner (just a dab).
• Deodorant when skin issues arise – also use at night to help detox.
• Lavender lip balm for diaper rashes, apply to the scalp if too much sun exposure, for skin issues on toddlers that fall often and on kiddos cheeks in the winter to act as a barrier from the cold.
• Mirah Shave oil for soft, silky hair, remove eye makeup, as a cuticle oil, as a light face moisturizer before makeup or as a lubricant.

• Thieves Toothpaste as deodorant (Plus is my fav)
• Thieves Hand Purifier as deodorant, for facial blemishes, to get permanent marker off of surfaces and for flyaway hairs.
  
• Thieves Household Cleaner in carpet cleaning vacuums (be sure to thorough clean the machine when done), as a stain remover for clothes (add some lemon!) or to clean veggies.

                *10-15 drops Peppermint
                *10-15 drops Thieves
                *Fill with Thieves Mouthwash

This oil is good for that. That oil is good for this. Don't use these oils while operating heavy machinery(what?!). Starting your foray into essential oils is overwhelming. Hot oils, earthy oils, floral oils, it's a lot of information to digest. But don't fret! Sha Faun Enterprises is here to help you sort it all out and start your venture into buying oils out on the right foot. 
 
People are passionate about oils, and there's a lot of information out there (some of it contradictory information). But don't let that sway you from stepping foot inside a part of the health world that will leave you feeling fantastic and surrounded by the most incredible sensory experiences you could imagine—essential oils. 
 
Here are a few of our tips for those of you just starting out or needing a refresher when it comes to buying essential oils. 
 
Sha-Faun's Tips for Buying Oils: 
 
The first piece of advice we can give you is what to avoid when shopping for essential oils. While you grow accustomed to oils and learn your favorite types, you're going to want to be a label checker. If you see these items, put the bottle down and walk away. Here are a few things to look for on a label. 
 

• Fragrance 
• Natural Fragrances
• Synthetic fillers

 
Now on to what to look for. Essential oils are pretty standard, and the packaging for the good stuff is relatively uniform across the industry. Look for: 
 

• Dark (usually glass) bottles
• The word "pure." The bottles will indicate somewhere that they are using pure essential oils. Carrier oils like sweet almond oil and jojoba oil are ok, but that just means your oils are already blended with a carrier oil for you*. 
• Scientific name or Latin name: Essential oils will always have their normie name and scientific/plant name—for example, lemon=citrus limon. The botanical name will always be present on high-quality oils. 

*It's important to know if you're buying an oil that is already blended with a carrier oil or not. Some of our recipes and uses for essential oils require that they be neat or straight essential oil without the carrier oil. Carrier oils are easy to buy and add yourself! * 
 
Where to Buy Essential Oils: 
 
Well, you're in the right place! Many stores carry essential oils these days, but you have to filter through lower-quality oils that are filled with synthetics and mystery ingredients labeled as "fragrances." We love Young Living essential oils for their quality of products and their encyclopedia of resources and help along the way! Essential oils are a fantastic tool that you can add to your day in many different ways. Healthy living is part of our core values. It's why we do what we do!
