Foodie Friday | Fruity Greek Yogurt
At the start of every new school year, we’re always looking for ways to simplify our lives. Many of us want to streamline our morning time as much as possible, but we also want to make sure our kids are being fueled with a healthy breakfast before we send them off.
One healthy breakfast option is full fat Greek yogurt with your kid’s choice of Vitality citrus oil and fresh fruit. Stay stocked up on berries because it’s easy for the kids to grab and add to the yogurt, AND because they are all high in antioxidants and vitamins. Because Greek Yogurt isn’t sweet, try letting kids add a little honey or sprinkle some coconut sugar over the top. You can also add the new Einkorn granola, yum!
Quick and Easy Fruity Greek Yogurt
-1 cup full fat Greek Yogurt
-Handful of fresh berries or fruit
-1 drop of your favorite Vitality citrus oil
-Sprinkle of coconut sugar or drizzle of honey
-Einkorn Granola
Here are some combos we love:
-Raspberry Lemonade (raspberries + Lemon or Lime Vitality)
-Orange Creamsicle (bananas + Orange or Tangerine Vitality)
-Berry Blast (blackberries, blueberries, + Lemon or Lime Vitality)
-Strawberry Banana (strawberries, bananas + Lemon Vitality)

Respiratory System | Support
Back to school means cooler temperatures and fall weather. To support our respiratory systems while we sleep, we diffuse RC and Thieves in everyone’s bedroom. When we are breathing normally, we sleep better as well - and who doesn’t need a good night’s rest this time of year? Breathe Again Roll-on and Raven are also great respiratory system support oils!
Goodnight | Sleep Well
Sleep is of the utmost importance during the school year, but sometimes we are SO busy with activities and homework that our minds have trouble slowing down and turning off.
Many like to diffuse Dream Catcher, Lavender and Cedarwood in their bedrooms at night. (Remember, Cedarwood is free this month with a starter kit purchase!) Gentle Baby is also a favorite soothing oil to diffuse as well. You can also try applying any of these oils to the spine or bottoms of feet, just prior to bedtime.
After School Sports | Support
For children who are involved in after school sports, there are lots of products to help those tired muscles!
OrthoSport massage oil is a great support, along with Deep Relief. Consider adding Cool Azul, Panaway and Copaiba to massage oil for more support. And the new Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream is *amazing*
Make it Monday | Focus Blend
Focus is a common theme for back to school. It’s hard to get back into the routine of sitting in a schoolroom when you’ve been free all summer! Don’t worry - there are many different combinations of oils for you to try.
One favorite blend is a Peppermint, Citrus Fresh and Rosemary roll-on. Apply to the back of neck when studying. It would also be a great diffuser combo for when the kiddos are doing homework. Try 4 drops Citrus Fresh, 3 drops Peppermint and 2 drops Rosemary in the diffuser. Peppermint and Citrus Fresh may support concentration and alertness. Rosemary may support memory function. Put them together and they are the perfect trio to get your focus on!
