Young Living’s Free Gifts for July

Liz James · July 1, 2024 ·

Good morning friends! We are officially halfway through 2024…. can you believe it?? July’s gifts with purchase are perfect for our household because we use all three of these on a daily basis.
Freebies = I don’t have to buy them for the next few months! = Winning!!
All three of these… I’ve used each of them for years:
Lemongrass… ðŸŒŋthis is a fantastic multipurpose oil. It is considered a “hot” oil, so do not use it on the skin without diluting it. I use it topically, internally, and diffused to support various body systems and body functions.
👉When I had a serious accident 9 years ago (and nearly lost my left foot), it was a key player in my topical “repair” blend to support healthy tendons (4 of which had been severed in the accident).
👉Biting bugs tend to dislike lemongrass. I take it internally and in doing so, I appear to be much less attractive to mosquitoes and other biters. (note that it took several days of taking internally before I became a walking diffuser for said bugs).
👉when taking internally, lemongrass is also helpful supporting healthy cholesterol and vascular health.
Stress Away……. One of my all time favorite and most used oils. Back when I was working as a retail pharmacist, this oil lived in my lab coat pocket and was used several times a day. There is science behind the oils in this bottle, and its regular use will help support a more comfortable autonomic nervous system balance (wouldn’t you rather live in a healthy balance of fight-flight freeze and rest relax and digest?…. our bodies are not designed to live in constant stress). Combine this oil with healthy self-care practices and you’ll notice the difference! ( And so will those around you 😉. Pro Tip…. do you spend a great deal of time around someone who might need this oil?…… start putting it on yourself and become a walking diffuser for them. See if you don’t notice the difference!)
Super C Chewables….. If you are taking Vitamin C and the ingredient says “ascorbic acid”…. take note. Ascorbic acid is largely made from GMO’d corn and it is not as bioavailable as truly natural (ie: doesn’t require a laboratory) vitamin C sources such as acerola, camu camu, and rose hips…. all of which are in Super C Chewables). There’s additional synergy in these yummy chewables with the addition of citrus oils!
Are you already using these products too? What’s your story?
Stay cool and Happy July! ~ liz

Snake Hack

Liz James · June 28, 2024 ·

Yesterday morning I came up with one teenage chicken short when I went out to feed. I found the poor thing 3/4 slimed (and dead) after an attempted swallow by a snake who thought he/she could eat said teenage chicken, and then changed its mind when it realized said teenage chicken was too big. Snake’s eyes were bigger than his/her mouth.
So frustrating (not to mention sad😭😭)
I’m giving something new a try in the coop. Last night I sprinkled cinnamon bark oil on all the roosting areas (smelled amazing btw).
No casualties noted this morning…. so I’m just gonna continue this practice for awhile until said teenage chickens are bigger.
Has anyone else used cinnamon oil successfully for this endeavor?

Keep Your Pets Safe

Liz James · March 21, 2024 ·

Raise your hand 🙋‍♀ïļðŸ™‹â€â™‚ïļif you share your home with a critter or two (or roughly 55 in our case ðŸĪ—ðŸĨ°). According to statistics, 66% of us do….. and we love ’em. Pet families spend over $19 BILLION dollars a year in the USA on veterinary care (not including supplements, food, collars, etc). ðŸ˜ģ
March is Pet Poison Prevention Month and while we’re talking about spring cleaning, I thought it would be a good idea to talk about pets. Yes, they need cleaning themselves on occasion, but equally important….. it’s our job, as the ones who keep them well and healthy….to keep toxins out of their space as much as is “humanly” possible.
According to the American Animal Hospital Association and the ASPCA, these are some of the biggest chemical culprits for bringing harm to animals 👇.
🛑medications
🛑cleaning products
🛑 personal care products
🛑fragrance products
🛑 detergent and detergent “pods”
There are more (take a look at the graphic), but I bring these up to give you a 🙌🙌🙌 for probably already having fixed these issues in your own home and keeping your fur babies safer in the process. Go you!
Animals are often “the canary in the coalmine”. Evidence of toxin overload often affects them on a scale greater than in humans.
Take Georgie for instance. Georgie is our now adult opossum we rescued when she was just an itty bitty thing (her mama had died). Because she was so imprinted on us (she came to be with us before her eyes were open), she was not releasable, and she lives with us as though she is a house cat. Opossums do not live long. A geriatric opossum is over 2 years old. Georgie is over 2 years old now, and doing quite well. The reason opossums do not live long (in addition to getting hit by carsðŸ˜Ē) is that they are super sensitive to chemicals…. even more so than cats. Georgie eats all organic human-grade food (I shop at Trader Joe’s and Local Yocal for herðŸĪŠ), and has had almost zero exposure to chemicals of any kind. The same can be said for our catsðŸą, our dogsðŸķ, our dairy cowsðŸŪ, horsesðŸī, and chickens🐔. Their toxin load is extremely low.
âĪïļIf you happen to still be using traditional toxic cleaners, give Thieves Household Cleaner a try!
âĪïļmainstream personal care products? Young Living has a treasure chest of healthy alternatives!
âĪïļplug-ins or other fake fragrances? Get that diffuser out and use it! Young Living oils are safe for use around all types of animals. We even use oils to help them recover from wounds and illnesses, and rarely do we spend $$$$$$ at the vet anymore. We have saved thousands of dollars over the years by using resources like “The Animal Desk Reference” to solve animal health concerns. Remember that 19BILLION dollars a year the USA spends on veterinary care? So thankful Charlie and I contribute minimally to that number every year!
âĪïļ Detergents and “pods”? Thieves Laundry Soap is an excellent alternative (it’s concentrated so either don’t use but just a little bit, or use one of the recipes on H3 to make your own out of non-toxic ingredients).
Cleaning up your home without adding toxins to your pet’s life only makes sense (and it saves money in so many ways). They are worth it!
What’s one thing you have replaced that might have been shortening your pet’s lifespan by continual “small dose” exposure?

Do You Have Good Seeds?

Liz James · March 14, 2024 ·

Good words of wisdom here. It’s so interesting how some seeds appear to degrade fairly quickly, while others last a bit. I’ve wasted some seeds over the years based on this information. #knowbetterdobetterbebetter #farmgirl #farmgirlknowledge

 

Fedco Seeds reports:
Are you wondering if your old seed packets are still good to plant this year?
Before you throw them out, grow them out! If you have old seeds on hand, you can do an at-home germination test. Put 10-20 seeds on a moist paper towel in a loosely covered plastic container. Label the container with the date, variety, and number of seeds. Check the paper towel in 10-14 days and count how many seeds germinated. Divide the number of germinated seeds by the total number of seeds, then multiply by 100 to get your germination percentage.
Check out the seed longevity chart on our website as well. https://fedcoseeds.com/seeds/seed_saving.htm
