Young Living Essential Oils Philippines

Our family try our best to live a healthy life. One of the best ways we do this is by using essential oils in our day-to-day living. Being a member of Young Living, it has been a great journey so far.

We welcomed the opening of Young Living Philippines on 2019 with open hands and with great joy.

Being at the forefront of producing high-grade and pure essential oils, Young Living will always be a part of our daily rituals to be healthier.

What is Young Living Essential Oils all about?

World Leader in the Industry
Young Living’s humble beginnings started when its founder, D. Gary Young, first planted a few lavender seeds in a small patch of land in Washington. Fueled by his passion to develop natural wellness products, he developed a simple, homemade essential oil distillery to process his lavender harvests. The result is the first pure batch of Young Living essential oil and as they say, the rest is history. Twenty-five years on, Young Living now consistently upholds its mission of being a steward to nature’s living energy – distilling nature’s greatest gifts into high-quality essential oils for the benefit of the world, making it the world leader in the industry.

Seed to Seal

But this great feat wouldn’t have been possible without the rigorous standards and sourcing discipline that Young Living has lived by for 25 years. It sets the industry standards for quality and purity with its proprietary Seed to Seal commitment, which consists of 3 pillars – Sourcing, Science and Standards.

Sourcing
o Sourcing the highest quality materials only from corporate-owned farms, partner farms and Seed to Seal-certified suppliers to empower the company to be a steward of the earth by sourcing conscientiously with sensitivity to community impact.

Science

o With 180 years of combined research and R&D experience, Young Living’s laboratory team tests samples internally as well as through 3 rd party accredited laboratories. This is all to ensure that the company only creates pure and effective products that contain the cleanest and most innovative ingredients available.

Standards

o Young Living upholds its commitment to do business responsibly – from sustainability sourcing, uplifting local communities to respecting and complying domestic and international legal rules, providing top-tier standards for sustainability.

Young Living’s extensive line of essential oils and essential oil-infused products prove the company’s global resources, industry leadership, and twenty-five years of innovation. This drive for quality has raised the standards for the industry, showcasing that there are processes that
benefit the environment — at the same time ensuring high standards in production.

TreasureJarFind: Tori Chizu

One of the places we love to go to for filling and delicious food is Tori Chizu. This is located at the second floor of TriNoma Mall. I am not sure if the store has other branches though.

Anyway, I have already brought 2 friends there and they love it.

My personal favorite is the Chicken Teriyaki which has gooey cheese on top of the chicken balls and rice.

The hubby likes the ramen while the kids love the fried chicken and other Doria meals.

Expect to pay 150 – 200 per person.

Photo from March 2019. Yes, we remove the green onions because my hubby is allergic to these.

This is not a paid advertisement, we’ve paid for all the food we ordered during several times we’ve been there.

Laundry Tips for the Rainy Season

Doing laundry can be very tricky with rainfall becoming increasingly unpredictable. Nothing is more frustrating than washing piles of clothes only for them to turn out damp and smelly because of the gloomy weather. To keep your newly washed garments clean, fresh and vibrant this rainy season, follow these laundry tips from Electrolux Philippines.

1) Use dryers to avoid accumulating moisture

Sun dried clothes smell best but when the rains are here, the clothes smell musty because the moisture is trapped in the clothes. What’s worse is that the when worn, these kulob clothes smell nasty too, like you’ve got body odor. Ugh!

The best solution is to invest in a dryer. The Electrolux UltimateCare Washer Dryer delivers excellent results in keeping your clothes perfectly dry. It has Smart Sensor feature, which also prevents harmful over-drying. Moreover, it’s a 2-in-1 machine that can also wash your clothes efficiently. It’s a great choice for those looking to buy a dryer without needing to worry about extra space in the house.

 

2) Combat stains while protecting color

If clothes become stained with mud and dirt from the rain, here is what you should do:

  • wipe them away before they set
  • For older stains, vinegar or baking soda have often been recommended as tried and tested ways of cleaning them.

Some stains, however, are harder to remove, which may lead to using excessive detergent, over-washing and color-fading. This is where the Electrolux UltimateCare Washing Machines effectively removes stains while keeping your clothes vibrant.

  • UltraMix Technology in Electrolux washing machines fully dissolve detergent to deliver a deeper clean.
  • Load Sensor Automation feature which displays the recommended amount of detergent based on the weight of your clothes, helping you get the most out of each load while avoiding overloading and over-washing.

 

3) Add fabric conditioner

Adding fabric conditioner to your wash is a good way to combat these problems:

  • breaking down and losing the clothes textures due to the rains.
  • earthy scent of wet soil that can stick to clothing.
  • damp conditions create the ultimate breeding ground for bacteria on your clothes.

Fabric conditioners helps to soften and improve the texture of your clothing, while also keeping your clothes smelling great even through the rain. On top of that, some fabric conditioners also boast anti-bacterial properties, making sure that your clothes are fresh and germ-free. Personally, I add a few drops of tea tree essential oil to the wash.

 

4) Keep your washing machine clean

Washing machines are also breeding ground of residues of dirt, mold and mildew which build up and produce odors inside.

You can clean your washing machine by running a wash cycle with the machine empty. This clears out any detergent that has built up in the machine. Make sure to always wipe it inside and out for any residues that may have built up. It is also best to use a washing machine cover to protect it from heat, mold and moisture.

 

5) Place scented items or odor eliminators in your closet

 

Ensure that your clothes don’t develop a stale smell, try adding essential oils to your closet. Dab a few drops of the oil on cotton balls then place it in the corner of your closet. Do this especially during the rainy season.

 

Another alternatives you can use are the following:

  • coffee grounds.
  • scented dryer sheets
  • silica packets for shoes
  • baking soda
  • strongly scented wood.

Reusable Containers for Meats

 

#TreasureJarFinds
🛒
I brought some reusable containers with me when we went to the supermarket last week. These were ice cream tub, cream cheese tub and two microwaveable containers from takeout food. I first went to a Magnolia Chicken station but they refused to use my containers saying they will still put the chicken in plastic and it would be up to me to transfer in my containers. What’s the point, I wanted to use my containers to avoid using plastic that I will be throwing anyway. Staff said in their meeting, they will only use their branded plastic because their sales are based on the usage of plastic but how? Some like me, I used to ask for big extra ones when I buy more than 2 bags of chicken. Is that counted? That is even extra expenses on the company, on me, with the added burden of adding more plastic to the trash pile.
🛒
I then went to another meat shop, Tender Lean, when I noticed that they were using unbranded plastic bags for the meats. The staff was accommodating. He weighed my containers first before putting in the meats. Good job, Tender Lean meatshop. The staff said he knew what to do because they have clients who bring their own containers when they buy meats.

🛒
I will try this next to a meat shop near us because I know the staff there. I hope they will be more open to the idea.
🛒
We are not really big consumers of meat especially during the summer months. This batch will probably last us two weeks because I mostly use a small amount of meat for sautéing as can be seen in my #platefuloffun food photos.
