Young Living’s January 2025 Gifts

Liz James · January 2, 2025 ·

Happy, blessed and beautiful 2025 friends! πŸ₯³
Are you putting a plan in to place for 2025 to see your goals, dreams, and visions bear fruit? I’d love to see / hear what those are so we can cheer each other on! (Everyone needs a cheering squad to help them cross the finish line πŸ™πŸ’–). Comment below so we can help each other out. I will leave one of my goals in the comments below too.
Young Living is offering us 3 tools for free if your goals include moving your body more, improving your gut health (which is a crucial cornerstone to total body health πŸ€“ ), or feathering your nest with happiness.
Deep Relief….. regardless if you’ve been a gym rat for years, or you are stepping into a gym for the first time in your life, this oil blend is a great companion! (It’s also great for those times when you’ve spent way too much time in front of a computer and need a little neck/ shoulder relief πŸ₯Ή)
Grapefruit….. such a versatile oil, and one of my favorites! Not only is it a scientifically proven “happy” oil, it also has some really interesting effects on the lymphatic system ( one of the reasons it’s part of YL’s Cel-lite magic massage oil πŸ˜‰).
Life 9…… unless you are purposeful about eating fermented foods every single day (as people used to do in every culture around the world), everyone needs to prime their digestive system daily with a good probiotic. Why?
βœ… support daily elimination πŸ’©
βœ… support a healthy immune system
βœ… support healthy mood and neurotransmitter production
βœ… support healthy excess estrogen metabolism
βœ… beneficially modulates stress response
βœ… and about 100 more things, but I know you want to get on with your day! πŸ˜‚
Happy New Year 2025! 🌞

Young Living November Gifts 2024

Liz James · November 1, 2024 ·

And just like that….. we are 2 months away from 2025 πŸ˜³. This season of festivities and planning for the upcoming new year creeps up on us so fast. Truly, the days are long but the years are short!

I love the symbolism and thoughtfulness behind Young Living’s choice of gifts they offer us each month. November and December are usually months of excess noshing and feasting, and they are also often the months of greatest worry as the end of the year is a time for reflection. I don’t know about you, but for me, this is the greatest time of year when my digestive system tends to need a little extra help processing both food and emotions! That gut-brain connection is scientifically proven!

🎁 100PV Loyalty Order: 5ml DiGize Vitality essential oil blend
Pro tip: Add 1 drop to honey and mix it in warm water before your feast to support digestion and soothe occasional stomach discomfort. (I use it straight…. no honey… and carry it with me at all times. You wouldn’t believe how many people around you suffer from indigestion and would benefit from this easy to share oil. It’s like pulling a thorn out of the lion’s paw…… so helpful, and your friends will thank you for the relief! If you don’t like the taste, dab a drop in your belly button. If you don’t like the smell…. apply to the bottoms of your feet and cover with socks!Β πŸ˜‰)

🎁 200PV Order: 15ml Abundance essential oil blend
Pro tip: No Young Living oil blend is created without a great deal of thought and science backed purpose poured into each blending. One of the greatest truths about lack is the aspect of poverty mindset, and that mindset can be generational in families. If you have any downtime in the next few months, I’d like to suggest picking up a copy of the book, It Is What You Make It by Steve Gilliland, and then consider diffusing this warm, spicy, inviting blend during your days, gatherings, and as you read this book. (Change your mindset, change your personal worldΒ πŸ™). Neural pathways usually need remodeling as you create your own abundance (of whatever you may be lacking in life), and the blend Abundance is created for a time such as this!

🎁 300PV Order: AlkaLime stick packs, 30 ct.
Pro tip: Indulging in acidic holiday treats …..ahem….. sugar season combined with eating foods you may not be accustomed to eating often creates rumblies in the tummy! This is another “on the go” tool to carry with you and perhaps even share with a friend in need. Mix 1 stick pack in water for an alkalinizing drink that starts working right away to soothe the occasional upset stomach.

Final thoughts about abundance this beautiful November 1st morning….. there is no greater gift (other than leading someone to Jesus πŸ™) than to give someone than the gift of empowerment in whatever areas of life they may feel defeated or struggling in. We (the Young Living family) are here to help as a community. Overcoming struggles is easier in community. Is there someone you know who could use some health help? Some community support? Maybe even a little extra income to help pay for their own restoration of health journey?…. or perhaps this is you? If you are already part of the Young Living family, reach out to someone you know and trust. (If you are not yet a Young Living member, please feel free to privately message me.) The cumulative knowledge in the Young Living community is so valuable… priceless in many cases…. each one of us has a story, a path, and a journey that has been given to you (and me). We have experiences in life we learn from so that we can lead others with our “been there done that” knowledge. Don’t let sharing intimidate you…. be the hands and feet that lead others towards overcoming their lack.πŸ™

One of my personal mottos is this: “You’ll never know if you can do something, if you don’t just do the thing.”

Benefits of Legs Up The Wall

Liz James · April 12, 2024 ·

It’s pretty safe to say that I suggest this technique at least a few times every week in my coaching calls. If I would add anything to this graphic, it’s this…. fill a sock with dry rice or beans and tie a knot in it. Use that lightweight weight over your eyes and forehead. It will add to the relaxation by quieting the prefrontal cortex (where much “chatter” happens in our minds). Bonus points…. add a few drops of Lavender, Vanilla, Peace &Calming, or whichever oil is speaking to you at the time.
Give it a try! πŸ˜‰

Peppermint to Digestive Rescue

Liz James · January 5, 2024 ·

Have you noticed when you go to many restaurants, they will either give you a peppermint ❀️🀍❀️ with your receipt or will have a bowl of peppermints for you to take from as you are leaving after a meal?
Years ago, I used to assume that those peppermints were either to freshen postprandial breath or to act as a light β€œsweet” to end the meal. While those little red and white striped disks of sweetness do achieve both, there’s more to the story.πŸ€“ Nowadays, those peppermints are usually synthetically flavored….. But a long time ago, peppermint was the real deal, flavored with peppermint oil that came from a plant🌿, and the candy was full of purpose.
Peppermint (from the plant) 🌿has been known to be digestion-supportive for eons. Its use dates back to ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome, and has been a β€œgo-to” herb since biblical times for digestive woes.
From studies found on pubmed.gov and elsewhere, it would appear that peppermint 🌿supports digestion by encouraging bile flow into the small intestine where it promotes healthy digestion by acting in a supportive role in breaking down fats more quickly. The menthol in peppermint🌿 has a strong anti-spasmodic effect which may help calm the action of the muscles within the gut. This allows β€œthings” (ahem… gas and stools) to be encouraged to pass more readily.
Note that peppermint🌿 is best for lower GI while spearmint 🌿is preferred for upper GI support. πŸ˜‰
I’ll include some interesting studies about peppermint🌿 in the comments. I know many many people who have had life-changing gut health experiences simply by incorporating peppermint (real peppermint!) into their routine.
Have you used peppermint as a digestive aid?I know I have, and I frequently flavor my water with a drop or two!
I’m also thankful that peppermint 🌿is a Young Living freebie this month with a qualifying purchase! πŸ₯°
