A word from our sponsor
Diffusing vaporizes essential oils and gets them into the air so that we can breathe them in. Young Living provides us with cool mist ultrasonic diffusers so that the oils are protected from heat and retain their therapeutic properties, too! Try these awesome recipes to help you and your kids enjoy this school year to the fullest.

These recipes could easily be turned into sprays by adding them to a 2 oz. spray bottle, along with a splash of witch hazel and distilled water. Let the kids spray their backpacks, their stuffed animals, whatever makes their heart happy. Enjoy! Contact @EssentiallyFitInspo or shop here.
