AAAh Autumn Fragrances

Liz James · October 3, 2023 ·

It’s officially Autumn, which means all things spice, fir trees, and seasonal immune system support! The old you (and me) probably bought a Fall-scented plug-in that belted out endocrine-disrupting fragrance which only further tanked the taxed endocrine system of anyone who is exposed, but pat yourself on the back…. you and I haven’t done that in years!

Give some of these diffuser blends a try for Autumn aromatic health support! Yummy is as yummy does

Which blend are you trying first? Oct 16th / Chai Tea is going down here today for me!

October Young Living Free Gifts

Liz James · October 1, 2023 ·

Can you believe it? We are in the final quarter of 2023. Autumn is one of my favorite times of the year, despite the fact that this time of year seems to always pick up in speed. (2024 will be here before we blink an eye!

)

Young Living continues to take good care of us with these seasonally appropriate gifts with qualifying purchase, and some of my faves for free?…… YES Please!

Eucalyptus Globulus…. this is a fan favorite for its ability to effectively support an open airway breathing

situation, especially when the struggle is real

! (whether that be seasonally or you just need a little breathing boost

! )…. but did you know that it also appears to have a positive effect on pain an inflammatory response simply by inhaling it? (Check out this and other studies posted in the “Discover our Research” sections on the YL website: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3703330/ )

Stress Away is another personal favorite of mine! I have several open bottles strategically situated so that it’s never far from my reach. I use it for daytime management of stress. When I was working behind the counter of the pharmacy, a bottle could always be found in my lab coat. (And not infrequently, I would have co-workers borrow it

). Perfume with a purpose….. this essential oil blend has a light relaxing aroma, and it does a great job of “diffusing the situation” when used!

Bonus points for the olive wood massage tool that comes with it (if you get it as a gift w/ qualifying purchase).

Immupro!

for free

! This bedtime gem is packet with some of the most powerful plant based immune stimulants…. wolfberry and 3 potent mushroom species well known for their health super powers

. It also contains melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone ( which our body tends to produce less of as we age and during times of stress). Melatonin is integral to health…. both for ease of sleeping and for its VIP role in immune system function. (PRO Tip: This particular product has gone out of stock in the past, and there were many “woe is me” ‘s uttered throughout the world. When you find a supplement or oil you’d prefer to not live without…… keep a few bottles on hand. We are working with nature, and sometimes nature doesn’t cooperate in the world of supply and demand . I personally keep at least 4 bottles of Immupro on hand as backup! )

Acceptance. In the last quarter of each year, it’s not uncommon to have some reflection on what was and wasn’t accomplished over the last year. It’s not a time for beating yourself up. Nothing good ever happens when you do that. True…. some things we all could have done a little better, while others are completely outside of our control. What we do have is the ability to give grace to ourselves while we regroup. Consider using this essential oil blend in your diffuser as an aromatic “reminder” during your morning quiet time, time of reflection, or time spent planning “what’s next”. Not everything is always within our control, and learning to accept that which is outside our power to change is a huge de-stressor!

Question: what is something you keep WELL stocked in your home…. because you’d be if you ever ran out?

Young Living Continues Its Scientific Excellence

Liz James · September 14, 2023 ·

I love that Young Living is on a constant quest to give us the very best. Not all essential oils are created equally… I’d never even consider asking a WallyWorld or even a Whole Foods brand to do what I’ve asked YL oils to do over the years. There’s a reason for that.

If I’m going to ask an oil to “do something “, I need for it to be able to consistently “do that thing”, and I also need to trust that the oil is even capable of “doing that thing”. Do you trust your oils enough to rely on them to “do that thing”?

Drop a GIF that represents one “thing” your EO’s help with.

Seed to Seal Science pillar: Advanced instrumentation (EA-IRMS)

I would like to introduce you to our newly installed arrivals in the Young Living Analytical Laboratory at GHQ: Elemental Analyzers (EA) for the Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometers (IRMS)!

Our new Thermo Scientific EA IsoLink #IRMS Systems perform automated isotopic analysis of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen using bulk samples (solids like plant leaves, branches, flowers or resin, or liquids like essentials oils and vanilla).

These EA systems provide precise and sensitive measurement of #isotope fingerprints— carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen isotopes— creating a unique chemical signature of each sample. This will provide our #scientists unique insights into the history and origin of #plant sources from around the #world.

These new EA systems support Young Living’s unending quest to combat adulteration of essential oils and are proof of #YL‘s continued support of our world-leading #authenticity program at the D. Gary Young Research Institute.

We’re wrapping up Young Living Convention 2023 in Salt Lake City! Other than a hacked credit card (mine

), it’s been a most excellent time spent with friends who are family (and each year as I meet and make new friends, my family just gets bigger and bigger

, just like yours will too!). I have hugged soooooo many necks (it’s been amazing seeing so many of you in person! My heart is very full. )

Here’s a recap of the new products, which have been for sale to Convention Ticket holders these last few days, and will be available to everyone tomorrow (Monday….. tho I’m not sure what time the actual release is. I’ll edit the post if I can find the information.)

Which product(s) are you most interested in?

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.
