This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to all who participated. A winner will be announced in the next post.
This is my second time participating in the Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. Since my first giveaway generated over 100 visits to my blog, I decided to participate again. This time I will give away a one-ounce bottle of Thieves Spray from Young Living Essential Oils. I’m a consultant for Young Living, so if you have an interest in these essential oils or products, feel free to email me at oillady@charter.net.
Thieves® Spray is ideal for use on door handles, toilet seats, and any surface that needs cleansing to protect from dust, mold, and undesirable microorganisms. This small bottle is perfect for traveling or keeping in your purse or backpack. Caution: Not for use on infants or on sensitive areas of the body. The retail value is $10.53.
Young Living’s Thieves essential oil blend was created based on the historical account of four thieves in
I’ve used the Thieves Spray to disinfect library books and repel ants, as well as deodorize bathrooms, nurseries, and other smelly places.
To enter, please leave a comment with either your blog or email address so that I can contact you if you win. Also, please let me know how you will use the Thieves Spray. Only one entry per person, please. This giveaway is open to US mailing addresses only.
The Carnival runs from April 21 to 25. I will draw a random winner on April 26.
Edit: In response to some of the comments received so far, I'd like to mention some other uses of the Thieves Spray and also a caution. I've used the Thieves Spray to sanitize and deodorize the inside and outside of Diaper Genies and garbage cans. I've also sprayed liberally in our van after our younger son "tossed his cookies." If you use Thieves Spray on a toilet seat, be sure to wipe the seat with a paper towel before sitting.

Please enter me in your drawing.
Thanks,Cindi

Hmm, very interesting. I would use this all over the place and esp. when we travel this summer. Thanks!
I have not heard of this before. What an excellent idea!
linda(at)learyfam(dot)com
I'd probably use it on quick cleaning days. Great giveaway! Count me in. bebemiqui82(at)yahoo(dot)com
I wondered what the hey that was! Sounds like something I could definitely use. thanks for the giveaway.
OOO does this stuff work on diaper pales?
I am running a bloggy party right now too with tons of prizes! Come check us out!

I love the story behind the product. I am always looking for natural products. I would use this on all of our doorknobs and in the downstairs bathroom. The kids are great germ sharers and I intend to stop that.
This sounds very interesting. Thanks.
I hate touching toilets in public places-especially to flush them-YUCK!! This would be great to help me out with that!
Great giveaway! Thanks for offering! I think I would carry it in my purse, for those times when you need to "sanitize"!

Neat!
that is a cool story and product
This sounds like amazing stuff, we would love ot try it.
mcginnisfamily5(at)gmail(dot)com
What a great product! I have 2 kids and work in a day care, so I think this would be handy in SO many different circumstances!
Interesting history of where the name came from. I would use it in public restrooms because the smell makes me want to vomit. I always dread touching the lock to unlock the bathroom stall. I use a piece of toilet paper to do it but it still skeeves me out!
Oh, I could so use this. Especially if it repels ants safely. We get them coming into our house in the most inopportune places. I am also a germophobe when it comes to public restrooms and would rather wait sometimes than use them, but that isn't always possible.
I would love to be entered in your giveaway.

I have never seen that before...interesting! Please sign me up! Thanks.
I have a cat, we're planning on getting another and the house is under renovation right now so the living area (third floor) gets pretty funky as it is rather far removed from working plumbing. So anything that smells good and disinfects and isn't full of toxic chemicals is much needed!
www.lilacspecs.com is me
I've been intrigued by Theives spray for the last few years but haven't had the money to get some, I'd love to try it!
I love this! And what a fun history lesson! I'm hosting three contests. Stop by!
wow this stuff is great!
I would probably use it as a deodorizer.
With having a preemie son I am very afraid of germs!
So this will be used in all those nasty places, toilet,door handles, those same things you mentioned.
palmersf(at)bellsouth(dot)net
Sounds interesting! I never heard of this before. I think I'd keep it in my van! -Julia :-)
I think I would use this on door handles - please count me in!

Thanks for the giveaway. Please enter me! I have a friend who makes his own essential oils and owns his own business! He has done VERY well for himself!
Come enter mine for $25 for ebay!
This sounds amazing! I will use on on doorknobs and lightswitches and other things my kids touch.
Awesome giveaway and very cool story! I'd use it when I travel, to disinfect our car, hotel room surfaces, etc.
HOW i would use it!?!?! a million ways! but i guess sense thsi is a small bottle i would use it more "on the go". bathrooms, door knobs, grocery carts...everywhere! :)
eabroper at gmail dot come
That is fascinating!
I'd love to try it out. We have so much trouble with kids getting sick in the nursery at church and when we do playlands and such.
Wow! How neat! I've never heard of it! I would use it everywhere!!
I have three kids under six, so we could use it for disinfecting and smell improvement! :) Thanks for the chance to win!
That looks great. I think I'd use it a lot on door knobs. That is something that is easily forgot.
Have never heard of it but would love to try it. Especially since I'm travelling across the US this summer.
I love Thieve's oil, so I know I would love the spray!
Looks like a great product!
I would love, love, love to win this. I have just been introduced to these oils and would love to get my collection going.
What a neat story. I would love to win this.
Never heard of it, but it sounds interesting. Enter me too please!
So, it doesn't keep theives away, it just keeps them healthy. Wicked.
I would definitely use this when we go on vacation this summer...hotel room!
I love this! How cool and unique!
Interesting. I'd love to try that.
This is interesting, I've never heard of Thieves Spray. I'd use it on my diaper pail and door handles, faucet handles, and anywhere my little ones touch because they aren't the best hand-washers and this would keep the germs at bay better. I'll have to check out their other products as well, thanks! Kathy
I'm thinking doorknobs & light switches would be great places to use this! I have a sensitive nose so I might just spritz it for the smell!!
Please enter me, I would love to try this product.

I would love this. I am trying to get rid of things like bleach around here. I have a large collection of the Clorox anywhere spray that I spray on door knobs and such and I am really wanting something a little more natural.
I've never heard of this before...sounds like a great product!
I would definitely use it in the bathroom - 7 chilren, 1 bathroom...enough said! ;-)
Thanks!

Where wouldn't I use it? That sounds like the coolest stuff I'd probably use it everywhere I go!
I've never heard of this before, but I'm intrigued and would love to give it a try!
princesslimey(at)gmail(dot)com
I bet this would be awesome to take to the store to spray the seat and handles of the shopping carts before putting my kids in.
This spray sounds wonderful. I'd love to give it a try!
Neat. Thanks!
Great story. I'd use the spray to protect us against the germies that come home on my husband's nursing school books and hospital badge, etc.
Cool! I would use this to keep the germs at bay when someone is sick around here. I also like the idea of spraying library books. Thank you!
I would love to keep that in my purse to disinfect everything my little one comes in contact with (grocery carts, restaurant high chairs/tables...)
Love that this is purse-sized. Can't wait to try it out.
I've recently gotten in to Young Living Essential Oils and don't have Thieves spray yet! I would use it to disinfect everything!!
Wow--that does sound nice. I like the idea about the repelling ants. My email addy is in my blogger profile, just in case I win!
I would love this spray to protect my home.
I'd use this in the bathroom and on the ants invading our bathroom/laundry room and kids rooms. :(
What a great name for a product. I would use it on all of my door knobs, thanks for the giveaway!
I would use it on our toilet seat, definitely! My email address is in my blogger profile, in case I win!

~ Amy @ Memoirs of a Mommy
I would take this with me back to SouthEast Asia when we move back in July. I would use it on all kinds of stuff...often times there is no soap in the bathrooms so I feel like everything is dirty.
Please count me in! I would spray it on everything--esp. since we are all sick again! :-)
I actually need to contact you....I wanted to know if you have something for natural decongestant. The kids are so stuffed up but I hate giving them meds all of the time.
I am a teacher, so this would be PERFECT for my classroom!
Nice! I've wanted to try these!
Must be some powerful stuff.

I'd like to enter. Thanks!
Sounds like some awesome stuff. I'd use it in the car.
I have six kids, 4 of them in school. I'd use this everywhere. Door handles, basketballs, computer desk, bathroom, my car... everywhere!
I'd say our diaper champ could use a dose of this spray, but I'd also probably keep it in the car.
thanks!
I would use it everywhere, carry it in my purse as well. I like the story about it. Count me in.

This stuff sounds great. I have used the essential oil of Thieves for tooth aches, and other things but never the spray. Would love to try this. Please enter me in your drawing
I have two kids, and a handful of neighborhood kids who call this home too, so I'd use this on every downhandle in the house!!! And the fridge door, since that seems to be where they head first! :)
julie_ruhlman@hotmail.com
looks like a diaper bag staple to me...
I have a 2 year old grandaughter so I would use it EVERYWHERE
Connieh30@hotmail.com
what a cool story! the old houses in memphis had a strangely staggered porch step that caused you to trip if you weren't careful, apparently to foil burglars at the turn of the century...
please drop by my blog to enter my contests, not just this week
neato! ty 4 the info and contest!
I would use this to clean my daughter's toys after she has put her mouth all over them!
Thanks
Ok, when I first saw this I thought it was perfect cause I work in a bad neighborhood hahaha!! Anywhoo I am as much of a germ-a-phobe as I am a scardy cat, so this would be perfect!! Thanks
The Thieves Spray sounds like something no one should be without, yet I'd never heard of it. Might have to go looking for it!
my email is melaniblazer@comcast.net
Sounds like a wonderful product. I hadn't heard of it until now. Thanks for the information.
This is so cool. Love the name! I would use it on the telephones and cell phone. People don't think about how germy those get.
Repels ants!? That's something I could use an antidote for!
digicat@sbcglobal.net
Very cool and unique! Count me in!
We are taking several trips this year for weddings and reunions so that means hotels! I would use this on the beds and in the rooms in general to kill anything that might just be lurking in the dark. No more bed bugs for us! Thanks thieves!!! :c)
lisaelliott[at]cox[dot]net
I would definitely use it to clean our diaper pail and trash cans!
I would use it on door knobs, handles and phones!
I would love to try this!

What a great prize!
I am offering giveaway all week also! Make sure you come by and enter, as well as read my blog on everything from parenting, life, marriage, and my trip through infertility.

sounds like it would be perfect for those places you really would not like to use the restroom, but have a two year old who is potty training and can not hold it even when you would like her to.
What an interesting story/background for the spray. I would carry it in my purse to use in public restrooms, and even around the house.
WOW i would love to try this! COunt me in!
Great to use on door handles. Awesome giveaway, thanks! hellomary018 at yahoo dot com
awesome give away!!!!
Sounds neat!
I have never heard of this before, it looks fantastic! I'd use it on the door handles, mostly, where we get a lot of traffic. Thank you!
I have an autoimmune disease, and am presently going through chemo. I have to be very careful about infectious germs..could get very ill. This sounds like a must. I am commited to my treatment,..this would be perfect to keep in my tote..I would certainly use it!
I have a recipe for a version of this. It is complicated. The story I heard was about four thieves in New Orleans during the yellow fever outbreak. Same concept though
I volunteer at my sons school as the librarian/computer teacher, and this stuff sounds perfect for us!
Thanks for the info on this great sounding stuff.!
I could have absolutely used this product today in the zoo's restroom. My son and I had a "HELP!" moment just walking in the door! Thank you for the giveaway! :) Tina

I've never heard of this but it sounds intriguing. I'd use it to disinfect the PUBLIC restroom I have to utilize at work.
Shirley pedsrn9999@sbcglobal.net
I have heard so many good things about this blend. It was years ago that I first heard of it, and I'm trying to remember now what it was recommended for.
I plan to keep it in the diaper bag and spray it when we're out and about in the mall or some other public place where the flu is going around.

I have three kids, so I would be using this a lot to spray door handles, toilet seats etc... when we go out!
elizajoy.matherATgmailDOTcom
I have never used this product, but with four little kids around the house, I am sure that I could find some uses for it....
I would use it to conquer stinkies!
this is a great idea
Awesome giveaway!
Beth at thenaturalmommy dot com
Love the name, and the story behind it! How cool.
My car is always in need of help! Thanks!

What a great product! Please sign me up!
I'd like to try out this product.
partymix25(at)hotmail(dot)com
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Interesting...I've never heard of this, but it sounds fantastic. I have three (at times disgusting) boys :)
I would most definitely use this to disinfect the kitchen and bathroom which can be prone to mold!
I would love to try to use this on 5y/o sons matteress after he didn't make it to toilet with his supper, lol!
Ooh! This would be great for the cloth diaper dry pail!
I've never heard of this before. The uses could be limitless! Definately in the bathroom :)
Love the back story on this, count me in.
As to where I'd use it, probable everywhere =)
awesome! i'd throw this in the diaper bag for sure!
I never heard of it before but would love to try it!
Thank you for the great giveaway!
themonkinme(at)gmail(dot)com
I have always wanted to buy Thieves, but haven't been able to convince my hubby that it will work. So maybe I will convert him if I win.
I'd totally use this in any public restroom.
Thanks for offering such a great prize - I hope I'm the lucky winner! :)
I would use it everday in the bathroom at my job.
Sounds wonderful!
hellerfam(at)yahoo(dot)com
What a great idea. With two young kids who love public toilets this would be perfect.
Count me in!
I'd love to give this a try! It sounds awesome. I'd love to carry one in my bag so I can use it on he public toilets and sinks when I'm out and about.
Thanks for the giveaway!
My fiancee' is always spraying to disinfect and sanitize. She would love to try this!
Interesting! Maybe this would keep my MIL from choking me with bleach next time I travel with her. She disinfects the entire hotel room...
ohhhh pick meee! :-) My car is calling thieves spray! haaa haa
Oh and the back of my hall where my Lhaso Apsa has his "accidents"
I've read that your desk can be dirtier than a public restroom (yuck!). I think I would use it to clean my desk, mouse, and parts of my keyboard. I'm trying to stay away from the clorox wipes for multiple reasons!
Very interesting. Definately would use it in the boys' bathroom and the back door that is the gateway to the great out doors LOL kids alway go that way to/from the chicken coop.
This sounds awesome! Thanks for sharing something so useful!
So many uses, I'd have to leave it in my towels and first aid cupboard for the entire fam to use!
E-mail: waiting4myruca1211@yahoo.com
I am totally intrigued...
i would use it mainly as a deodorizer.
I will probably spritz the bottom of my feet during flu season and anytime loved ones around me are sick.
I love this giveaway. I diffused the essential oil this winter when my kids were sick with a bug, it made the room smell so nice and we all seemed to feel in better spirits.
Wow! What great stuff!!! I'd probably tote this great all-purpose stuff around in my bag!
