Be careful what kind of perfume or cologne or body spray or body splash you put on your body. Be aware that you might make me sick…or make your kids sick…or make your co-worker sick. Many of your sweet-smelling fragrances are hiding a lot of harmful secrets, and they can even cause things like liver damage and older-looking skin.

If you found out that your favorite perfume contained…

• phthalates (linked to reproductive issues) or
• Xylene or
• Ketone or
• HHCB or
• HHCB-lactone (the oxidation product of HHCB) or
• AHTN or
• Tonalide or
• Galaxolide, or
• Benzene

…would you still want to splash it on your chest or belly or behind your ears? I know I sure wouldn’t want those chemicals on me if I could help it.

The good news is…you CAN help it. There are some awesome ways you can still smell good, still smell pretty, still smell fresh…and not make me sick. In fact, if you try my suggestions, people could actually get healthful benefits from just being around you. How cool is that?!

I know that seems like a giant claim for some tiny drops of oil. But here’s the real kicker…when you use Young Living Essential Oils  as your fragrance, you know exactly what you’re getting in each refreshing, uplifting oil or blend. And I can promise you this…there won’t be any toxic chemicals added. They’re so unnecessary.  You can mix essential oils to your own preference. If you’re like me, maybe you prefer a fragrance with more of a citrus scent. Or maybe you like floral, or woodsy, or exotic. The point is…you can smell so nice and even enjoy healthful benefits…and even present a healthy scent to someone near you…with essential oils.

So…drop the chemicals and pick up the oils. Simply contact me, and I’ll point you in the right direction. Or…follow your nose, and
