November is traditionally a month we focus on gratitude and thanksgiving. In recent years, it also became the month men grew out their mustaches and beards 🧔. (It’s a perfect month for a beard oil DIY for your favorite bearded guy!)
What would happen differently in your life if this month also became “No”vember and an internal “spring cleaning” of sorts began happening to make way for a strong and clear entrance into 2022?
Gather. We are designed to be in community. Biblically, we are called to be together. God never intended man to do life solo. We are to bear one another’s burdens, encourage each other, eat and fellowship together, help one another, celebrate and mourn together. Enjoy every moment with those you love!
Pro Tip: Gathering essential oil is a blend of 9 essential oils with an overall high frequency…. including Northern Lights Black Spruce, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood and Rose. It’s also got Lavender and vetiver to help quell the cray cray. Geranium and cinnamon #iykyk 😉. Remember from all you’ve learned…. high frequency people are those people you tend to want to be around. They bring the joy and sunshine when they walk into a room. Make a statement. Become a walking diffuser with this beautiful blend. Use it as a perfume or make that beard oil!
Remember the things we have to be grateful for. 2020-2021 has been a season 😬, and yet it’s also brought many people together who might never have met. It’s allowed for downtime, reflection, personal development, and a growing awareness/calling of the important work we are all individually called to do. God is still and always has been in control. I am grateful that we don’t have to have all the answers, because God is in control… not man.
Pro Tip: Carrying gratitude in your heart and mind knocks the stress level down a few notches. Decreased stress = a healthier body. That’s a fact. The essential oil blend Gratitude is another perfume worthy high frequency blend with oils containing properties physically beneficial for overall health. Canadian Balsam, Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, Bergamot, Northern Light Black Spruce, Vetiver, and Geranium. (Do some digging or phone a friend…. if this line up didn’t make you go…. 🤔….😍….🙌🙌.) #fragrancewithbenefits
Myrrh is mentioned in the Bible 156 times. It’s the first oil mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 37:25) and the last to be mentioned in the Bible (Revelation 18:13). It was offered to Christ first as a gift when he was a baby, and the last to be offered to him as he stood at the cross (Mark 15:23).
Pro Tip: If that 👆alone doesn’t instill a desire to have myrrh in your home, know this: Myrrh was historically used as a valuable and potent health tool. Now, go do some digging. 🤓… I’ll be over here making a new batch of my DIY face serum which has Myrrh as a key ingredient these days.
Hope and belief. Hope is the constancy of faith. And what is faith, but believing. Words and thoughts form our attitudes and outcomes. If you believe you can, you will.
Pro Tip: It takes about 6 weeks to change a habit. Maybe you have been in a vortex of doubt and disbelief and can’t seem to shake it. In fact…… maybe you are sitting here right now thinking I’m full of hooey.🧐 How could oils change a habit? 🤔Well… you’re right. They can’t, especially if you leave them in the bottle, or never even have them in your home. Habit changing starts small. A spark. One thing. A string tied around the finger so you don’t forget. An oil applied daily as you start your day off on the right foot. Look around at the people who have spent 2020-2021 walking in joy and sharing happiness and contentment with them wherever they go despite the circumstances that the entire world is in. Chances are, they are healthy and continuing to grow and thrive. Hope and faith (belief) are life changers. The oils that are free (with qualifying purchase) this month are a physical reminder to “upgrade” our thinking as we approach 2022. You can doubt, or you can believe. I’ll be over here anointing myself on the regular (multiple times daily in fact) with all the goodness YL is offering while I plan my vision and goals for 2022. Join me?

(PS: If you are curious about the science behind specific oils, coaching, or just in general wanting to have a healthier mindset, I’d love chat sometime! Additionally, an unhealthy mindset may be partially attributed to a hormone, vitamin, or mineral imbalance within the body… something the right lab work can help identify.)

Our 4th annual Guns ‘n Poses is in the books! This is my favorite event of the year…. it was a vision Terry (one of my bff’s) and I had 5 years ago, and each year it just gets better and better as we work to empower women in all the ways! Every year, the topic content is slightly different but three things remain the same:
 yoga / stretching 
💥 gun safety / marksmanship / confidence building with firearms
👩Health and wellness topics that are science based with a primary focus on self empowerment. #theapplicationofknowledgeispower We are the CEO’s of ourselves and our homes and as such, we need to learn how to run our “company” as efficiently and effectively as posssible so that we can live vibrantly and our “company” can thrive and prosper🙌. Living a life of “meh or okay-ness” is not how we are supposed to live according to the word of God.
We are always sold out at this event…. next year, our 5th annual, is already in planning stages and we are strongly considering a “retreat style” 2-3 day event. It’s time to kick it up a notch for year 5! 💥❤💥❤💥
About 4 years ago, I asked God to help give me a business plan/model that would honor Him, allow me to serve others using the gifts He has given me, and empower others to do the same.
The result was not so much a plan, but a daily🙏 prayer:
“Lord, bring me people who need healing… whether that be physical, emotional, spiritual, financial, or in community.” Each year, Guns ‘n Poses is a celebration and reminder for me, and hopefully, for others too, that God is faithful in all the ways if only we seek Him and come together in a supportive and loving community.
I am blessed beyond measure, and I hope that paying it forward inspires others to do the same. THIS is how we change the world😘.

Do you follow Jen O’Sullivan over in the FB group, “The Human Body and Essential Oils”? She drops great info on the science side. This particular post [f hers isn’t science-y… but it is super helpful!

Mineral Essence is a highly underused YL Supplement because:
1. Many people do not understand its value. (Most people walk around with mineral deficiencies and don’t know it… and the symptoms of a particular deficiency shows up and often gets labeled as something it’s not…. or the doctors scratch their heads and say, “We aren’t quite sure what’s wrong, but here’s a medication to mediate the symptoms”… never addressing the actual deficiency. Heavy sigh. The reality is that mineral deficiency is an enormous problem in the USA, and western medicine health professionals are given very little education about it unless they learn on their own.
2. Mineral Essence has an “interesting” taste😋.
I’m trying this recipe today! Who else wants to join me? ❤

*********************
You know how Mineral Essence is an acquired taste? Well I haven’t quite acquired it just yet. 😆 My friend Patricia Paes shared her recipe and I’m now hooked!! Seriously! Let’s come up with a name for this one! 
Glass full of ice. 
One dropper of Mineral Essence. 
One squirt of Jade Lemon Berry YL Vitality Drops + Energy.
3 drops Tangerine Vitality. 
12 ounce of water. 
Shake or stir and drink up! 

It has such a refreshing taste! 
Should we call it:
Energy Essence 
Mineral Magic

Thank you, Patty!

 

It’s a great day to serve! #younglivingfoundation has teamed up with #feedmystarvingchildren. This is how it’s done friends.  Community love and partnership is alive and well❤.

I cannot believe we are already in October! (Gah!! Has anyone started their Christmas shopping yet? 😀)
I learned yesterday that the word Autumn means “increase”. Young Living is certainly handing us all the ways to INCREASE our health and wellness options with the gifts with purchase this month.
I’m not a fan calling this season “Fall” because to me, it has negative connotations. I mean…. who wants to fall below the wellness line? (“I do”…. said no one ever😬).
Let’s take a look at what we’ve got available to us for free this month:
Cinnamon bark and clove. Both are amazing oils for cooking and baking. They are also 2 of the 5 oils in Thieves….. and we all know what Thieves does for us, right? Both of these oils are considered “hot” oils, so you’ll want to dilute with a carrier oil if using topically. You can create some delicious autumn diffuser recipes with these too.
Autumn is a time to love on your adrenal glands. The body naturally wants to rest and recover as the days grow shorter. It’s a great time to shower your adrenals with affection, and any time you diffuse or use nutmeg in all the ways you are certainly doing that! Have you smelled nutmeg? It makes me so happy! Try a couple drops with some orange or Citrus Fresh in your diffuser……. soooo good!
Patchouli. Do you like it? This is a fantastic oil for the skin, but did you know it is also great for digestive disturbances? (Should we be surprised?….. it’s one of the amazing oils found in Digize). Remember, the skin is a mirror to the gut. No wonder it is known for both skin AND gut health!
Immupro is a chewable tablet that is on my order every single month! Ya’ll….. this is a powerhouse wellness tool that I feel is probably under utilized by the general YL population. Bonus points for its double duty. Chew one tablet before bedtime, for a better night’s sleep too. Mushrooms and melatonin for the immune supportive win! (Do a little quick research on the benefits of the reishi, maitake, and mushroom mycelium if you are the curious👀 sort!)
The Turmeric Herbal Tea and Tea mug are the icing on the cake. I plow thru my herbal teas from October to March. The turmeric herbal tea is one of my favorites! A tiny bit spicy….. it warms me right up and does great things for my body too. Tea with benefits is always a bonus! (It’s a close 2nd favorite for me…. have you tried the Slique Tea?…. oh my word! I LOVE LOVE LOVE me a mug of Slique tea!)
Remember to keep your Subscribe to Save (formerly known as Essential Rewards) activated. Please reach out to one of us if you have any issues or confusion with the new ordering platform. You’ll notice that at the 400PV level, we are receiving back product valued at $220.80 this month. That is without factoring in points too….. 10% back for the first 3 months, then 20% back until the 25th month, and after that, we are blessed with 25% back. To put that in perspective, it adds an additional $40, $80, or $100 back into your pocket (in the way of product credit). Savings like that cannot be beat!
Enjoy your day and Happy October Friends!
