April Young Living Gifts

Liz James · April 1, 2024 ·

It’s April 1st and I bet there are no fools here!๐Ÿ˜ We are each here because we have quit fooling around with our health and are striving to do better so we can live our best lives! ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’–
Young Living helps us do that with every single product….. there is a purpose beyond creating a pleasant aroma (tho that’s a benefit!), and each product you get in the mail is an opportunity to ditch a toxin and replace it with something that is not only non-toxic… it’s beneficial to the body in multiple ways.
Disease and “common body dysfunctions” that typically result in being tied to the medical system are 90%+ the result of a combination of toxicity and nutritional deficiencies. The good news is that this means we have 90%+ CONTROL of what we put into our bodies. Powerful right?
I’d be here all day typing if I explained the multiple ways I use each one of the freebies I’ll be looking forward to receiving in my order this month, so I’m just going to tell you two ways for each of them (and encourage you to do your own digging to find more. Pubmed.gov is a great resource for actual science if you’re a “just the facts ma’am” kind of ๐Ÿค“)
Lemon ๐Ÿ‹ is an “every person’s” essential oil! Of course, it smells amazing and is a “happy” oil. Literally. (check out this study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22364736/ … a pubmed find which is also linked in the “Discover the Research” button at the bottom of the lemon page on the Young Living website). I also use lemon essential oil in my water to help support detoxification pathways in my body. The two different labels (Lemon vs Lemon Vitality) are a requirement by the FDA… it’s the same oil in each of the bottles.
Pine ๐ŸŒฒis another oil I have used daily since 2020 (read between the lines here ๐Ÿ˜‰). I choose to be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to staying well, and in 2020 I learned from Dr. HK Lin that Pine helps do that (he explained to me why, and I was like ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ™Œ). Since that time, I have made a roller bottle with Thieves, Lemon, Pine, and Geranium and applied it to the bottoms of my feet every morning and evening. I was already doing the Thieves daily, but the lemon, pine, and geranium were suggested as important pieces to addressing the new piece of the health puzzle we all now navigate. Bonus points….. tree oils are so grounding, and who doesn’t need help grounding?
Thieves Household Cleaner. Yeah, there ARE ways I can clean in a non-toxic fashion….. baking soda, vinegar, and lemon juice can do quite a lot. So what makes Thieves HHC my “go-to” for 99% of my cleaning needs?
It’s not only a nontoxic alternative, it supports my (and yours too!) immune system while you clean ๐Ÿซ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ’–.
It’s 100% safe all the way down to using to wash pets (yes, cats too, and cow udders in my case) and bonus points that fleas don’t do well with THHC. (plus it smells amazing!)
Purification is a “welcome to Spring and here’s all the biting/stinging bugs” oil to keep handy. I’ve found it does a stellar job of neutralizing the bite/sting. It’s also fantastic for neutralizing stinky odors (ahem…. stinky gym shoes/bag). Just put a few drops on a cotton ball and place it in those spots things need to smell fresh instead of ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿซ icky.
Thieves was my “gateway” oil that brought me to Young Living! (What was yours???) Roller bottle. Bottom of feet. Daily. (see above….. That Thieves, Pine, Lemon, Geranium recipe I used…. Geranium was free a few months ago… so you might already have that on hand). I’m over here doing the happy dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ๐Ÿ•บbecause I’m getting about 6 months of Immunity Support Roller Bottle oils for FREE just for ordering things I already order! (I also use it in a variety of other ways and reasons….. a must-have for my tool kit!)
Tea Tree is probably one of the most well-known “for your health” oils. I’d encourage you to hop on to the Young Living website and once again check out the “Discover the Research” button at the bottom of the Tea Tree info page. 3 great studies there! How do I use Tea Tree? The “world famous” all-purpose nasal spray recipe has just 4 oil ingredients and Tea Tree is one of them (just a couple of drops). Potent stuff…. and also effective! It’s also my “go-to” for dabbing on the occasional blemish to speed up its going away.
Getting items like these for free every month is so helpful.
1. I get to restock what I use regularly for free.
2. If I’m not familiar with an oil or product, I get to learn and experiment with it for free. Learning and gaining confidence in how and what to use can be priceless education. Get good at the little things so you can be confident in using them for the “big things” (ask me how I know. I’ve managed to avoid lots of trips to the doctor over the last 11 years).
Have a great day friends! What’s the best April Fool’s gag you’ve ever been a part of (on the giving or receiving end)?

Resurrection Weekend Event 2024

Liz James · March 31, 2024 ·

Such a fun day sharing how the Biblical Feast Passover foretells a very important event (for all of us๐Ÿ™) in Jesus’ life at a community-wide event our sweet church (Pin Oaks Christian Fellowship) had.
Lots of great conversations and dialog! We had a hidden diffuser in the tent’s opening… diffusing cassia. Such a precious reminder๐Ÿ™. Any guesses as to why we chose that oil?
Everyone needs a little Jesus! Happy Resurrection Weekend friends โœ๏ธ๐ŸŒท

Oils of Ancient Scripture-Cypress

Liz James · March 28, 2024 ·

Oils of Ancient Scripture: Cypress
Genesis 6:14 โ€œSo make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out.โ€
Isaiah 44:14 โ€œHe cut down cedars, or perhaps took a cypress or oak. He let it grow among the trees of the forest or planted a pine, and the rain made it grow.โ€
Cypress is one of those oils that might be easily overlooked. To me, it has an aroma similar (but milder) to our friend Frank. I appreciate it for a few reasons. Like all tree oils, it is very grounding (relaxing). Studies have proven that this oil is relaxing and calming!
It is also a really important oil to consider when you want to support healthy circulation. (Nobody benefits from stagnant, slow-moving blood ๐Ÿ˜‰… in fact, stagnant blood can get downright dangerous). You can pretty safely assume cypress is a key oil in supporting overall health knowing that it’s one of the 9 oils used in the Raindrop Technique.
Cypress has been around for eons…. probably since the beginning of time๐Ÿ˜! Historically, the wood was used to build ships and houses of great strength and durability.
FUN FACTS:
The doors of St. Peterโ€™s Cathedral are 1200 years old and are made out of cypress. They show no sign of aging ๐Ÿ˜ฎ.
The island of Cyprus was named for this tree (cypress).
Historically, cypress essential oil was used by the ancients to support healthy wound healing, and arthritis, support healthy lung function, scar tissue reduction, alleviate cramps, and relieve muscle soreness. Cypress was also used to help flush toxins out of the body.
This is an interesting study about aromatherapy massage’s immunological and psychological benefits. Fancy that…. cypress is one of the oils discussed ๐Ÿ˜‰. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1142199/
When was the last time you had a Raindrop Technique done? If you’ve never had one…. would you like one๐Ÿ˜? Would you like to learn how to give one?….. Why receiving (and giving!) one is so very important for overall health. I’d love to teach you, or help hook you up with someone who can in your neck of the woods! ….. drop a comment and let me know! If you’ve got an amazing Raindrop story to share, I’d love to hear it ๐Ÿ’–.
PS: if you’d like to learn more about Oils of Ancient Scripture (there are many mentioned in the Bible), let’s chat. God truly did give us all we need in the garden.

Keep Your Pets Safe

Liz James · March 21, 2024 ·

Raise your hand ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธif you share your home with a critter or two (or roughly 55 in our case ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿฅฐ). According to statistics, 66% of us do….. and we love ’em. Pet families spend over $19 BILLION dollars a year in the USA on veterinary care (not including supplements, food, collars, etc). ๐Ÿ˜ณ
March is Pet Poison Prevention Month and while we’re talking about spring cleaning, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about pets. Yes, they need cleaning themselves on occasion, but equally important….. it’s our job, as the ones who keep them well and healthy….to keep toxins out of their space as much as is “humanly” possible.
According to the American Animal Hospital Association and the ASPCA, these are some of the biggest chemical culprits for bringing harm to animals ๐Ÿ‘‡.
๐Ÿ›‘medications
๐Ÿ›‘cleaning products
๐Ÿ›‘ personal care products
๐Ÿ›‘fragrance products
๐Ÿ›‘ detergent and detergent “pods”
There are more (take a look at the graphic), but I bring these up to give you a ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ for probably already having fixed these issues in your own home and keeping your fur babies safer in the process. Go you!
Animals are often “the canary in the coalmine”. Evidence of toxin overload often affects them on a scale greater than in humans.
Take Georgie for instance. Georgie is our now adult opossum we rescued when she was just an itty bitty thing (her mama had died). Because she was so imprinted on us (she came to be with us before her eyes were open), she was not releasable, and she lives with us as though she is a house cat. Opossums do not live long. A geriatric opossum is over 2 years old. Georgie is over 2 years old now, and doing quite well. The reason opossums do not live long (in addition to getting hit by cars๐Ÿ˜ข) is that they are super sensitive to chemicals…. even more so than cats. Georgie eats all organic human-grade food (I shop at Trader Joe’s and Local Yocal for her๐Ÿคช), and has had almost zero exposure to chemicals of any kind. The same can be said for our cats๐Ÿฑ, our dogs๐Ÿถ, our dairy cows๐Ÿฎ, horses๐Ÿด, and chickens๐Ÿ”. Their toxin load is extremely low.
โค๏ธIf you happen to still be using traditional toxic cleaners, give Thieves Household Cleaner a try!
โค๏ธmainstream personal care products? Young Living has a treasure chest of healthy alternatives!
โค๏ธplug-ins or other fake fragrances? Get that diffuser out and use it! Young Living oils are safe for use around all types of animals. We even use oils to help them recover from wounds and illnesses, and rarely do we spend $$$$$$ at the vet anymore. We have saved thousands of dollars over the years by using resources like “The Animal Desk Reference” to solve animal health concerns. Remember that 19BILLION dollars a year the USA spends on veterinary care? So thankful Charlie and I contribute minimally to that number every year!
โค๏ธ Detergents and “pods”? Thieves Laundry Soap is an excellent alternative (it’s concentrated so either don’t use but just a little bit, or use one of the recipes on H3 to make your own out of non-toxic ingredients).
Cleaning up your home without adding toxins to your pet’s life only makes sense (and it saves money in so many ways). They are worth it!
What’s one thing you have replaced that might have been shortening your pet’s lifespan by continual “small dose” exposure?

Big Mission Accomplished

Liz James · March 18, 2024 ·

In May of 2021, God asked me to do something big. Really big. Bigger than anything I could ever accomplish with a team of 8, much less alone. And yet we did, against all “normal” odds … launching a not-for-profit cooperative blood matching mission nationwide in June 2023. www.blessedbyhisblood.com is the result.
BBHB is up and running, and matches are being made. God knew we were going to need it. ๐Ÿ˜ข
