How to fight germs naturally: Petra King Photography I Wedding + Maternity + Baby Photographer
How many times have you heard yourself say next year I will be more prepared? We said goodbye to the warmer temps not that long ago and before you feel like you are stuck on the never ending Groundhog Day with sickness hamster wheel let’s get a jump on things early shall we.
Mama…I am here to let you in on my secret weapon. Actually that’s a lie. It’s NO secret at all. BUT if you are new to the world of natural and plant based products than listen up.
Thieves Essential Oil has been my #1 product to keep us healthy year round.
Thieves kills 99.96% of germs and is 100% natural. This blend has been around since the 15th Century and Young Living is the original company to bring it to market for us. It is also YL’s Top selling product. And for good reason too. It’s a powerhouse oil made up of: Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Rosemary, Lemon and Eucalyptus.
Some of my favourite ways to use:
Thieves Tea: brew some tea (I love peppermint) let it cool slightly and then add some raw honey and a drop of Thieves and Lemon Essential oil.
Thieves + Honey Throat Coat: 1 tbsp honey, 1 tsp water, 2 drops Thieves, 3 drops Lemon. Heat water and honey together until liquid then add in the oils. Stir together and serve on a spoon. Make sure the liquid isn't too hot or close to boiling before adding oils. Then just eat it.
Diffuse round the clock for an amazing smell without the toxins candles release and for added IMMUNE support for everyone in your home! It goes wonderfully with Lemon or Orange for a clean, warm atmosphere! OR pair with Lavender at bedtime for sleepy, wellness vibes.
Dilute in a roller and roll on the bottom of the feet, along the spine and/or over the lymph nodes daily for overall wellness. This works perfectly for kids as part of your daily routine before school or at bedtime.
Sound like something your family needs? Here’s a hot tip…once you try it and see what it can do for you and your family you will wonder why you didn’t start sooner. Take it from a mama who said the SAME thing!

Growing families and healthy low tox homes: Durham Region Motherhood Studio Photography
First, second or third baby? Regardless, your family is growing and it’s such an exciting time! But with more little ones in the house it opens more doors for the germs to creep in. This month I am focusing on how to keep our homes and more importantly, our familles healthy with my all time favourite: Thieves Household Cleaner.
The importance of using a non toxic product to clean my studio and every surface in my home is huge. It not only kills germs for my family but helps to keep you and your family healthy too.
Thieves Household Cleaner is multi-purpose. I use it in the studio on all surfaces, kitchen, bathroom, floors, mirrors, glass, hardwood and so much more. Super concentrated and smells amazing, all you need is one capful. Add it to a 16oz spray bottle like these and top with water.
It also is a HUGE time saver. This plant based product does all the jobs to disinfect and clean and is baby and pet safe.
No need to wait for the “fragrance to leave a room” floors or surfaces to dry or crack a window because it stinks. This beautiful aroma consists of lemon, cinnamon, rosemary, eucalyptus and clove.
Thieves kills 99.96% of all germs. Giving us all peace of mind for what our moms and unborn children are being exposed to.
Here is a list of some ways to use it:
All Purpose-
1 capful of cleaner
2-3 cups of water
Spray liberally on surfaces & wipe clean
~
Glass & Mirror Cleaner-
3 cups water
1tsp white vinegar
Combine in Glass Spray Bottle
Add 5 drops of fav citrus oil (ie lemon or citrus fresh)
Spray surfaces and wipe clean with lint free cloth

My Top 5 Motherhood Oils for Fall: Oshawa Motherhood Studio Photography
Welcome to September! Kids are back to school and as we get adjusted to new routines this week ( or settle into old ones) with it brings a lot of mental and physical exhaustion. And of course germs and sickness. Being a parent is hard enough, but when your little one/s or family goes down for the count it all falls on mom right? Germs are everywhere and a part of our lives, but there are things you can do to help keep your families immune systems strong.
I’ve put together a list of my top 5 oils for motherhood that will help keep you and your family healthy. While still keeping your sanity too.
Here’s my top 5 motherhood oils…your Easy Button!
In order from left to right:
Thieves-this will be your game changer to keeping the family healthy. And when sickness hits, your recovery time will be drastically cut down. Thieves kills 99.96% of all airborne germs. Diffuse, wear topically or make Thieves, Lemon and honey tea when onset of sickness starts. Thieves is a hot oil so use with carrier oil on little ones on soles of feet or spine.
R.C- (respiratory care) amazing for sinus congestion, cough, allergies, asthma, sleep and lung infections. I also use this for my workouts. Keeps the airways open ;) Diffuse or wear topically.
Lavender- one I don’t go without. YL’s lavender is not your grandma’s lavender lol. It’s so so good. I use this daily for sleep, managing stress when I need some calm/grounding. It’s also in my mom’s wellness kit. Scrapes, bites, burns, use in your skincare regimen and so much more. Use topically on pulse points or drop into hand and inhale. Diffuse and transform your space to have more Zen/Spa like vibes.
Stressaway- Yeo the name says it all. It’s your vacation in a bottle :) Used for reducing stress and keeping emotions where they should be. That goes for ALL ages. Can be used topically or diffused. Added to skin, hair. body products or worn as perfume.
Progessence- Hormones and emotions, time of the month and overall balance. Every mama needs this magical oil. Low Progesterone is so common in women ( including myself) Progessence is made with wild yam and is a natural alternative to synthetic hormone replacement. It also helps relieve PMS and all symptoms around your period too.
You pour every ounce of your being into your family mama. I am SO proud of you!
Just look at the GORGEOUS tiny human you have raised!
