Young Living’s January 2025 Gifts

· ·

Happy, blessed and beautiful 2025 friends! 🥳
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 🙏💖). 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 🤓 ), 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 🥹)
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 😉).
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?
✅ support daily elimination 💩
✅ support a healthy immune system
✅ support healthy mood and neurotransmitter production
✅ support healthy excess estrogen metabolism
✅ beneficially modulates stress response
✅ and about 100 more things, but I know you want to get on with your day! 😂
Happy New Year 2025! 🌞

Benefits of Legs Up The Wall

· ·

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! 😉

Peppermint to Digestive Rescue

· ·

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 “sweet” to end the meal. While those little red and white striped disks of sweetness do achieve both, there’s more to the story.🤓 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 “go-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 “things” (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. 😉
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! 🥰

August Young Living Freebies

· ·

When I was little, summer seemed to whiz by (and that was back when school started back around Labor Day week!)….. nowadays, it’s a blink and a nod, and kids (at least in our area) start back to school next week. Can you believe it? Happy August friends!
Here’s the scoop on the gift-with-purchase goodness to start the month off right!
Ginger vitality: I don’t recall seeing this one as a freebie before, and if it’s not one in your arsenal/wellness tool bag ⚒ , let’s chat for a sec. Ginger, first and foremost calms queasy stomachs….. A drop or two in hot water for Ginger tea……. sneak it into lunch boxes in the form of healthy gingersnap cookies (lots of recipes out there…. add a little extra oomph with a few drops of Ginger to the batter 😋. Fragrance-wise…. did you know that the aroma of ginger is historically known to promote feelings of courage? Makes sense, right?…. A queasy stomach often results from fretting about something (like a new school year situation)😉📚.
 
Lemon is great for 101 different things…. while it actually has stomach-calming properties too, it’s also a key ingredient to our “world famous 🤪” LLPC recipe…… if you struggle with seasonal sniffles and aren’t familiar with this favorite, ask a WiW old timer…. it’s the best for making things right! It’s also key in helping the lymphatic system function more optimally too. 😉.
 
Life 9: I can speak for hours on the benefits of a great probiotic’s effects on gut health. All probiotics are NOT created equally…… if you’ve never used Life 9 before, I challenge you to get it for free this month, and then take it daily for 30 days. In fact, I double-dog dare ya! See if you don’t feel the difference. Remember, good gut bacteria (as is your pooping ability) largely regulate your immune system. If you struggle with either of these (or heck, if you struggle with emotions that tend to upset the gut, oftentimes, getting a good gut balance, often straightens those things out too!)The best thing about free stuff is that you can try it for free and decide if it fits your healthy journey well. I’ll say this tho….. those of us who know Life9 intimately🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ use it daily!
 
Plus, it comes with that cute little supplement case! 😍
 
Finally, MultiGreens! Is this a regular for you already? I tend to alternate between MultiGreens and NingXia Greens (love them both…. NRG is a powder and MG is a capsule and they are different products, but they are both VERY green 😁). So many people (big and little peeps alike) don’t get enough “greens” in their diet (Green M&M’s or green gummy worms don’t count….. in fact, that’s all the more reason to get the good greens into your day!) MultiGreens allows you to “get the greens in” and thereby helps your thyroid, nervous, and circulatory systems in ways your body may be telling you you’ve been missing them (are you reading your body’s clues?). Never tried it? This is another tool you’ll get to try for free!
 
Happy August friends! Which freebie are you most excited to get?
