Essential Oils

April “No foolin” Freebies

Liz James · April 1, 2023 ·

NO FOOLIN’! APRIL IS HERE, AND SO ARE SOME FANTASTIC FREEBIES WITH PURCHASE THIS MONTH🙌!
 
Do you know your oils? Remember friends, YL oils are products with a purpose. While smelling great does fulfill a purpose, there are other actions these two house faves accomplish as well.
 
YL Orange essential oil is happy 😍 in a bottle. I recently read a study about the positive/supportive effects of simply smelling orange essential oil on the production of oxytocin in the body. Oxytocin is a “feel good” hormone that gives us the “warm fuzzies” (it plays a pivotal role in social bonding, reproduction, childbirth, and post-childbirth). When oxytocin is produced, it trumps the production of “fight or flight” cortisol. Considering the amount of stress the average person is under nowadays….. I think “they” should be dumping this stuff from planes! Not likely that will happen…… but we can add it to our diffuser, and “diffuse the situation” or create a happy calm environment in our sphere of influence.
 
YL Lemongrass essential oil is another one of my faves. I personally use it internally to support “an unhealthy environment for candida” (3 drops in a capsule…. it comes as a Vitality/white label….. remember that no matter the label color….. it’s the SAME oil inside the bottle. It’s an FDA requirement that if a supplement or RX can be used more than one way, it has to have two different labels). If used topically, it must be diluted with a carrier oil …. it’s a hot oil but it has so many benefits. Check out the Research section on the YL page of each oil. 🤓I’ll use Lemongrass as an example here…. all these studies are on the Lemongrass page:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22675383/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4149144/
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4149144/ (14 Day Resetters…. ya’ll will find this one particularly interesting! 😎…. our next Reset starts April 10th…. please message me if you are interested in participating)
 
Gut health is one of my passions….. because if your gut isn’t healthy….. guaranteed… you won’t be either. MightyPro is a pre and probiotic for kids and adults alike. It tastes like a treat, but the real treat is that it’s a healthy habit that benefits gut health (and therefore total body health and immune support). Research has shown that poor gut health as a child can have far reaching effects throughout adulthood (poor gut health as a child contributes to developing obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, depression, and even cancer later in life). It’s TOTALLY worth it to support gut health at all times in life…. not the least of which is as a kid. Get your free bag of MightyPro this month, and begin investing in their future health if you haven’t already been doing so.
 
This last one…… I think this might be the first time we’ve ever been offered a CBD product for free as a monthly gift! Soothe CBD roll-on is loaded with THC-free, full spectrum CBD, peppermint, Copaiba, and 4 eucalyptus essential oil types. You know I love a multi-use product….. not only will this powerhouse roller be a great addition to the gym bag for sore muscles💪🦵, it is also a FANTASTIC item to keep on hand when your lungs🫁 might not be working so well (ie: you’ve fallen below the wellness line and the respiratory system needs a little TLC).
 
I’m a science girl🤓…. and I realize this post leans heavily on the science side of things…… So thankful that Young Living makes products with a purpose…. and almost always MULTIPLE purposes for each product. They can do that because God made plants to do that for us, and YL just harnesses the goodness He gave us and puts it in forms we can easily grab and go!
 
Happy April friends! Oh yes….. I almost forgot! When you are a Loyalty Rewards subscriber, you get 10 free bonus points (1 point = 1 dollar) with a 100+PV order! 😍
If you’d like to partake in the YL lifestyle, here’s a link to become a member: https://bit.ly/3oFccZj
 
If you’d like to partake in the 14Day Reset…. next one starts April 1st, and you will need a good supply of NingXia Red ….. it’s the secret sauce to the Reset. Even if you drink NingXia Red daily…. the way it’s used in the rest will likely impress you with results. Here’s a link for the most cost-effective NingXia: https://bit.ly/14-Day-Reset.

The Cost of Health

Liz James · March 17, 2023 ·

These questions are so important. Frankly, questions like this ( per industry specifics) aren’t asked nearly enough in nearly every industry we all use (including banking 🧐🫣) because, we live in an age where convenience usually takes precedent over integrity and value…… all to our detriment.
 
⛔️Taking a medication for a symptom is faster than finding a root cause and addressing it in a slower holistic fashion, but…….. at what cost long term?
⛔️ Running through a fast food drive through is faster than meal prepping, but…… at what cost long term?
⛔️ Choosing 2 hrs on the couch watching TV or scrolling is “more relaxing” than working out, but….. at what cost long term?
⛔️ Letting someone else be the primary decisionmaker about your own health is easier than being an informed medical consumer, but….. at what cost long term?
 
I could build a much longer list here, but I think you get what I’m saying.
Do your own research.
Learn which companies value purpose and integrity over profit, and honor them with your business.
 
There is a priceless value to doing things “the slow way” that extend far beyond a fine wine, well aged cheese, or a loaf of wildcaught yeast sourdough bread😉.

Chris Bowerbank:
“World Leader in Essential Oils” is emblazoned on Young Living’s Global Headquarters (GHQ) building. I see this every day when coming to work at the D. Gary Young Research Institute.
I like to break it down into specific categories as a stress test to see where we can continue to innovate and lead the #essentialoils market.
For example: World Leader in Essential Oils _________ (fill in the blank).
☑️ World Leader in Essential Oils plant research (Tyler Wilson)
☑️ World Leader in Essential Oils supply chain (Michelle Shinn YL and the SSBO)
☑️ World Leader in Essential Oils authentication testing (R&D)
☑️ World Leader in Essential Oils quality testing (Quality Control Laboratory)
☑️ World Leader in Essential Oils products with purpose (thanks #Gary & Mary!)
…and on and on.
Are there areas that #YL can improve? Of course, and that is where those of us who work at Young Living corporate find our drive and inspiration to continue leading our industry.
To give you a #science perspective, we ask questions such as:
❓ Are there additional #tests we can perform to assess essential oil authenticity and #quality?
❓ Can we improve our EO #distillation technology?
❓ Is there new #chemistry technology for the #laboratory that we should evaluate?
❓ Are there #sustainable and responsibly #harvested plant #species that we should evaluate for their EO’s?
❓ Are there natural personal care or nutrition ingredients that we should introduce as new or reformulated #YL products?
There is no other company in our industry who puts more time, funding and commitment into research, development, and testing. I am #ylproud and love our #WeAreYL tribe.

The Goodness of Bergamot

Liz James · February 7, 2023 ·

Bergamot. ‘Tis the season to be on the 👀 for seasonal moody blues, and bergamot is known for its “pick me up😍 happy” aroma. No surprise there, citrus oils have been studied extensively in their mood supporting properties.
 
Just for fun…🤓❤️… Google these phrases…
“Pubmed.gov clinical application of bergamot”
.
.
“Pubmed.gov efficacy of bergamot”
.
.
“Pubmed.gov attenuates behavior in rats” 🐀
.
.
There’s some seriously interesting data on the benefits of bergamot.😉 Do a little digging, and in the meantime, start diffusing it around grumpy anxious people and do a little of your own anecdotal data collecting in the process😜.
Life is good. It’s better with bergamot diffusing 🙌❤️!
(It’s also one of my fave electrolyte balancing water flavors!)
 
What’s in your diffuser today?

February 2023 Free from Young Living

Liz James · February 1, 2023 ·

FEBRUARY IS HERE YA’LL! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? FEBRUARY WRAPS UP THE TIME OF YEAR WHEN OUR BODIES ARE CRAVING “REST AND REFRESH” TIME.
(Total sidebar factoid🤓: yes, we’re all seeing and hearing and perhaps paying high prices for “rare” chicken eggs right now. Who knows exactly “why” this is going on this particular year 🧐(hang on while I adjust my well-worn tinfoil hat), but winter months ARE common for chickens to rest and rejuvenate their oviducts. God made them that way so that they can lead long productive lives. He did the same for us too…… embrace this last month of hibernation and take care of yourself!)
 
Young Living is kindly giving us tools for free (with a qualifying purchase) this month to help us rest and restore alligator winter skin and eyes that may have been spending too much time in front of a screen.
 
I don’t know of another company that will give someone $190.00+ worth of product for free when spending 300+$, (or $96 for spending $190+), and yet YL does…. every single month. 🥰
 
Lushious Lemon is one of my all-time favorite Young Living essential oil blends. I don’t know of a single person who doesn’t LOVE this aroma. This month we’re getting the Lushious Lemon Hand Lotion as part of our gift with purchase. YL never creates a product without a healthy purpose, and not only does the hand lotion nourish skin, the aroma just makes a person happy! (If you’re feeling grumpy or perhaps have a grumpy family member, you’ll never go wrong by diffusing the situation with a few drops of Lushious Lemon EO in your diffuser 😉)
 
If you aren’t yet utilizing the Loyalty Rewards opportunity (more free products and points to accumulate and use for purchasing MORE free products of your choosing), consider the benefits! You can learn more about how Loyalty Rewards works here: https://www.youngliving.com/us/en/learn/loyalty-rewards
 
Loyalty Rewards orders also have the opportunity this month to receive 10 extra points (=free product) and the BLOOM YL essential oil blend. BLOOM can be used topically or diffused. It is a beautiful addition to skin care ( a combo of Vetiver, Blue Cypress, Davana, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Clove, Jasmine, Carrot seed, Spearmint, Geranium, and Sacred Frank). During your hibernation time, do a little pubmed.gov 🤓digging on each one of these, and you find out exactly why (purpose) BLOOM was created 😍.
 
I’m especially excited that we’re getting IlluminEYES for free this month, as it’s something I’ve recently added to my daily regimen. Too much screen time is definitely taking a toll on my eyes, as well as normal aging…… and I’ve got a strong genetic predisposition to macular degeneration (and my eyeballs aren’t getting any younger🤪). It’s much easier to be proactive than to try to reverse an active degenerative state in the body, so here I am…. give me all the eye health tips! I’m already wearing blue blocker glasses when in front of the computer, I use beneficial essential oils around the bony orbits of my eyes and drink NingXia Red daily. Our eyes need the proper support tools to function well, and IlluminEYES supports eye health. In addition to eye-happy vitamins, you’ll notice that IlluminEYES has Wolfberry fruit powder, Marigold Flower Extract, and Acerola cherry extract. Do some digging friends…. God gave us so much protection and healing directly from the garden.
 
Coconut Lime Replenishing Body Butter is another one of my favorites! My dry winter legs soak this creamy body butter in, and it literally smells like I just stepped into somewhere tropical, warm, and happy⛱🏝☀️! You won’t be disappointed, and neither will your skin!
 
Embrace this final month of hibernation! I know your body is appreciating the tools and recovery time you’re spending so you can be at your very best come springtime!

January Young Living Sale!

Liz James · January 31, 2023 ·

It’s a snowy 🥶☃️❄️cold day here in North Texas, and I’m thankful for the opportunity to meet with health coaching clients virtually so neither one of us has to be on these slick roads😬. (Texas black ice is no joke).
 
We are just about 12 hrs shy of saying “sayonara” to January. If you had big plans for your health at the beginning of the year, but those plans are still sitting there untouched 30 days later, maybe it’s time to find a mentor.
I’d be honored to light the path and show you the way.
xoxo~ liz
