Young Living’s June 2023 Freebies

Liz James · June 1, 2024 ·

Good morning friends and happy June and happy summer fun!

Here’s the scoop

on the freebie gifts with purchase for June:

Valor! I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love Valor…. this is a great oil year-round, but let’s talk about tips for summer use. Valor‘s blend was inspired by an actual blend used by Roman soldiers before battle. Think about that…. are there new adventures this summer that maybe you’re both excited and fearful about? (who is sending a kiddo off to college soon, or a kiddo to camp for the first time?) Make two roller bottles for whoever needs a little extra “I can do this!”

Northern Lights Black Spruce: One of my favorite places is deep in the woods, ideally camping

with no one else around but us and the wild critters. That doesn’t happen much anymore (#farmlife), but my brain still feels the happy place any time I drop an evergreen fragrance into my diffuser. This is an extremely grounding oil, and if you need to mentally step away from the chaos on occasion, fire up that diffuser and enjoy a little NLBS!

Super B: Does the end of the day end before your “to do list” does

? I’m loving that Young Living is including supplements in their freebie lineup! Take advantage of Super B….. it supports adrenal function in a healthy way, and you’ll likely notice you’re more efficient at actually getting stuff done without feeling quite so exhausted

. NOTE: not all B vitamins are created equally……so many of the drug store variety are simply not fully useable by the body. Super B is not that way….. you’ll feel the difference!

Who is going somewhere fun this summer or doing something fun this season? Let’s celebrate together! (I’m still recovering from a week on the road work to secure stronger medical freedom in Texas…. whew! That was an experience!….. in July, I’m headed to the Young Living Convention #YL30… it will be my 9th Convention, and then I will visit some of my family in Wyoming briefly afterward)

Freedom Warrior Weapons

I’m out of town working on protecting some very important medical freedoms this week. Later today, there will be about 8-9K people here… you’d better believe I’m relying on my health hacks to keep me healthy! Travel and stress can be hard on the immune system.

Thieves mixed with lemon, geranium and pine

Thieves throat lozenges

All Purpose nasal spray (it’s got Frank, Lavender, Copaiba, and Tea Tree in it)

Happy Healthy Cupcakes

Liz James · May 8, 2024 ·

How about a lightly sweetened, healthier version of carrot cake for your next cupcake-making day!

Have you ever baked with einkorn flour? You might never go back to modern flour…. it’s got a richer flavor AND it contains far more vitamins and minerals and waaaaaaaaay less gluten than modern wheat flour. Bonus points: 4 grams of protein in einkorn flour per serving

and non-GMO!

(Einkorn Flour can be purchased here: https://bit.ly/YLeinkornflour )

Classic Carrot Cake

3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 1/2 cups einkorn flour

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp fine sea salt

1-2 drops of YL Cinnamon vitality oil (or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon)

1-2 drops of YL Ginger vitality oil (or 1/2 tsp ground ginger)

1/2 cup raisins

2 cups grated carrots (about 3-4 large carrots)

2 large eggs

3/4 cup coconut sugar (you can sub brown sugar too)

1/2 cup nuts (pecans, walnuts or almonds ) finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Sift together einkorn flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger in a medium bowl.

In a blender, combine the oil, raisins, and only 1 cup of the grated carrots. Puree until carrots and raisins are finely chopped.

In a larger bowl, add eggs and beat on medium for 1 minute. Add in sugar and beat for 3 minutes (until batter is light and fluffy).

Fold half the flour mixture into the egg/sugar mixture and when it’s almost completely absorbed, fold in half of the oil/raisin/carrot combo. Repeat.

Now, fold in the remaining 1 cup of carrot gratings in 2 batches. Fold in the nuts and then pour the batter into your muffin papers.

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tip of a toothpick inserted in the center comes out dry. (Note: if you decide to make a carrot cake, be sure to grease and flour your pan beforehand, line the bottom with parchment paper, and bake for 55-60 min!)

Now…. for the icing!

3 TABLESPOONSFUL butter, room temp

1 cup full fat cream cheese

4 TBS pure (real deal!) maple syrup

1 tsp Vanilla extract

1/4 tsp fine sea salt

a squeeze of lemon or orange juice (and for more flavor, add a couple drops of either the YL Vitality Lemon or Orange essential oil)

Beat butter and cream cheese on medium-high for about 2 minutes or until smooth.

add in maple syrup, vanilla, salt, and lemon or orange juice. Beat for about 4 minutes…. until light and fluffy.

if needed, chill for about 10 minutes to slightly stiffen into a spreadable consistency.

Enjoy with friends!
