How cool is this? In the heart of New York City, Young Living essential oils opened The Lavender Room, an oil-infused sensory pop-up experience and shop. Take a break from the holiday flurry and see what happens when you gift yourself with a pure moment of mindfulness. Enjoy this sensory experience and then get whisked away into Young Living’s whimsical holiday gift shop. People were invited in to experience a moment of "peace and centering" in the middle of NYC.
Kristin Cavallari was in the Christmas shopping mood on Tuesday. The former Hills star dropped into a pop up shop at The Lavender Room in New York City and took a sniff of a bottle of oil. Kristin Cavallari is a new spokesperson for Young Living essential oils and had this to say…
"No matter what it is in my life, whether it's food or cleaning supplies, I try to stay away from harsh chemicals, which is why I love Young Living so much. I get peace of mind that I'm getting a safe product. I can wipe down my entire kitchen counter, my kids can literally eat off of it, and I'm not freaking out that they're ingesting harmful chemicals."
"I'm creating a cookbook right now, and over the weekend I made butternut squash pancakes for the book. I used cinnamon bark oil, and they were awesome. I also made a cashew ricotta cheese and I used the basil oil. I probably use basil the most because fresh basil lasts for a second and then turns brown right away. My kids love peppermint hot chocolate, and I want to try a basil martini. I even put peppermint in my water sometimes. I just think it's nice, especially in the morning. For me, the bottom line is staying away from harsh chemicals. I read a lot of ingredient labels. I don't look at fat or calories; I just look at ingredients and what I'm putting into my body."
"I do like candles to set the mood, but I look to the diffuser for the smell. People come in and they always comment on how the house smells. Right now I love Thieves [a proprietary cinnamony blend of essential oils], and a new one for me this year is called Northern Lights, which smells like you're in the middle of a Christmas tree field. It's the most amazing scent in the entire world. I love lavender. I love rose—it's very feminine and sweet. I find grapefruit to be very energizing and uplifting. Around the holidays, I'm going to have Northern Lights with orange—it's heaven. I also love fresh flowers—I'm a big rose person. I don't go crazy; I just like having a nice bouquet on the kitchen counter. Dimming the lights, having some pretty flowers, having a good scent going in the diffuser, good food, and good cocktails are all you need for a great party."
