Beat August Stress: Essential Oils for Brain Health & Mental Clarity

Liz James · August 1, 2025 ·

I cannot even believe we are already talking about August! Is your 2025 going as fast as mine is? 🤪😳
 
Yes, August is back to school month, but it’s also a great time to take a breath for a moment and plan for how to manage the last 1/3 of the year……because if the first 2/3rds of 2025 was a blur, chances are high things are only going to accelerate August thru Dec. That’s where brain health comes in!
 
Stress on the brain is highly inflammatory no matter your age, and it’s to everyone’s benefit to navigate stress in a healthy manner with healthy tools. Thankfully, our friends at YL know this too 🙂, and give us tools…. and this month, 3 of them are free (with qualifying purchase).
 
100 PV Loyalty Order
15ml Tangerine essential oil
Retail value: $24.67
YL science 🤓 tip: oils high in d-limonene (such as tangerine) may modulate serotonin and dopamine signaling and also appear to support healthy cortisol levels…. the result? helping calm overactive minds, relieving nervous tension, and uplifting mood.
 
200 PV Order
5ml Vetiver essential oil
Retail value: $31.25
YL science 🤓 tip: vetiver is one of the most studied essential oils for its effects on those people who suffer from chronic “squirrel” 🐿brain. It can be so helpful in oil blends to help reduce overthinking and constant mental chatter, overwhelm, and “hyper brain”.
 
300 PV Order
Green Omega 3 softgels
Retail value: $89.47
YL science 🤓 tip: Omega 3’s have been proven to protect neurons from oxidative stress and cell death (none of us need dead or dying brain cells 😉 ). Omega 3’s are power packed for other areas of the body too… it’s not just for neurons.
 
If your world appears to be spinning faster and faster in 2025, take some time for self care friends. Do the things. We have access to some pretty amazing tools (you can also learn more about de-stressing in healthy ways in my book, Becoming Your Own Health Detective, Volume II… available on Amazon or now at Seeds of Thyme).
 
xoxo~ liz
 
PS: Have you used vetiver before? I’m so curious about how/ where you use it. If you have a blend/concoction you’ve had success with, please do consider sharing here with everyone. Together we protect and heal!

Mission definitely accomplished!🙌🏻🙏💪 God is so faithful in connecting the dots… putting the puzzle together.
 
It’s taken 3 full days to get my bearings and feel the rhythm my body needs.
I’m still processing everything I was part of, learned, experienced, shared with others, watched, and heard.
 
The introvert in me needs this time to marinate in it all before sharing. I’m almost there.
 
Oh the pillows! The beaver pillow greeted me at the hotel in DC, and I knew I would sleep well. (Side note, it was a very nice hotel and was cheaper per night than that 2 star dive that jacked up their prices after the wreck west of Rawlins Wyo🙄. There should be a law against that!)
 
The piggy pillow is on our bed at home. Home is where my heart is…. with my honey (Charlie), and my animals. 🙏

Fighting for Access to Directed Donor Blood: Why SB125 Matters

Liz James · July 25, 2025 ·

Bob Hall and girls who fought for blood donations

Blessed By His Blood

“Special Blood” = Life
Thank you Texas State @SenatorBobHall, for authoring SB125 in Texas’ 89th Legislative session.
Meili and her sister have a rare blood disorder which requires monthly blood transfusions for them to be healthy. Early in their lives, their hematologist told their parents that the children would have a much better chance of thriving if they received directed donor blood. Their parents reached out to their community, and found kind committed donors who rotationally give blood to the girls. They have had the same set of donors for over 10 years. In 2023, the blood bank quietly began denying doctor’s written orders for directed donor blood, not just for these girls, but for every directed donor order written. In the summer of 2023, both girls got really sick from receiving blood from the anonymous blood pool (a fact that was not even acknowledged by the blood bank representatives during the bill hearings). The girl’s parents were finally able to find a different transfusion center that is serviced by a different blood bank who were willing to work with them, but they live with the fear of knowing that their access to “special blood” could be turned off at any time.
Directed donor blood generally tends to be fresher than anonymous donor blood. As blood ages in a bag, there is an increased risk of transfusion related injury, including death, blood clots, multi-organ dysfunction, increased hospital stay time, and decreased oxygen carrying capacity. Additionally, not all blood is equal in terms of quality. For example, the blood of a healthy 20-year-old athlete would be superior to a 50-year-old blood donor who eats a Standard American Diet and is on the typical average of 2-4 medications.
