October Freebies for Immune Support with Essential Oils

Liz James · October 1, 2025 ·

Happy October friends! The last (and usually busiest) season of the year is upon us. In addition to weather changes, festivities, extra ‘peopling’ time, and sweet treats vying for your attention at every turn hopefully also brings an added awareness for immune support.

The freebies this month are on point for helping avoid (or mediate if needed) some of the less fun things that come with the last season of the year!

100PV loyalty order

15ml Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil

Retail value: $21.71

YL tip: Dilute with carrier oil and apply to the upper back, chest, or under the nose for a lung and sinus opening (and relaxing) experience (or add a few drops to a hot bath!)

200PV one-time and loyalty order

15ml Season Essentials essential oil blend

Total Retail value: $77.63

YL tip: Take a couple drops in a veggie capsule or with a teaspoon of honey to support a healthy respiratory system. (Also effective in a diffuser…. such a great value… so many of us have been making a similar blend ourselves…. the infamous LLPC …. but this premade blend is ready for on the go, no DIY necessary!)

300PV one-time and loyalty order

Super C tablets

Total Retail value: $121.38

YL tip: Take 2 tablets daily to support a healthy immune system with a big dose of vitamin C, plus zinc, manganese, and citrus essential oils. PS….. did you know that most Vitamin C (aka ascorbic acid) that is found in supplements is made from GMO’d corn mold ? NOT Super C (no corn starch used … so important for those who try to stay away from GMO’d products or corn in general. )

Have a great day!! xoxo~ liz

🍂 Autumn Wellness Tips: Essential Oil Blends & Immune Support for Fall

Liz James · September 1, 2025 ·

Before there was social media and Starbucks, what senses and memories clued you in that

Autumn was almost here?

For me, it was watching the leaves start to change, seeing wispy corn stalk leaves blow in from nearby farms, seeing pumpkins almost ripe on the vine, and of course (at the pharmacy) a full on uptick in people coming in with prescriptions for “the annual Fall crud”.

I’m so thankful for these Freebies this month! September also heralds football season and like football

…… the best defense is also a great offense!

Fire up that diffuser and enjoy your own “punkin spice” blend that is your FALL “scent with benefits” (Back to basics pro tip: Healthy alternatives are keeping toxins out of your home …. and out of your body, AND these also help create an inhospitable environment for “the crud” to thrive, unlike the synthetic stuff which tears the immune system down. Win win! )

3 drops clove
3 drops cinnamon bark
2 drops nutmeg
1 drop ginger
1-2 drops orange

4 drops cardamom
3 drops orange
2 drops cinnamon bark
2 drops clove

Now, about those Immugummies!

Have you tried them before? I use them as a healthy sweet “snack” alternative when I want to pop something sweet in my mouth. These tickle the tastebuds and offer the benefit of elderberries and 1,3 beta-glucans ( a super important component harvested from a type of algae that has been shown to improve immune system response, esp when it comes to upper respiratory tract health). What an easy way to support the immune system!

Nobody’s got time for “the crud”, especially as we glide into the busiest time of the year! Use your tools

so you can cross your finish line strong!

Science Symposium at YL Convention

Liz James · August 11, 2025 ·

friends at Young Living Science Symposium

raffle samples at Young Living Science Symposium with Liz

We totally did not anticipate what we were going to get at the Science Symposium at YL Convention 2025. What a box of amazing goodness that we “may”

be seeing more of later as a purchaseable product. Alicia and Kristine Lucius and I sure hope so, because every single sample is amazing!!!

Inside the box was a QR code to scan…. and so I did. Answered a few questions about what I thought about the products and the symposium. (I was loving that they actually wanted feedback!

)

Perhaps a week later, I got an email asking if I’d like to participate in a trial for FOUR of these possible new products… a month supply of each

…..well heck yeah!

So, starting this morning, I’ve got 4 new products I’m trying. What a blessing!….3 of the 4 products were supplements I was already using from other sources. The flavor on all 4 are on point, and today, my workout did seem to have a little extra

to it.

It’s going to be fun being part of the product development process. Did anyone else scan the QR code in the box of goodies you received at Science Symposium?

Young Living Brings Essentials for Our July Free Gifts

Liz James · July 1, 2025 ·

July’s gifts with purchase are more than summer perks. They’re a celebration of our roots and history.

I’m curious….. how many of you have been saved from seasonal sniffles because you are deeply familiar with our LLPC winning combo?

( If I just spoke an acronym foreign to you…. welcome to our community education page….. your oil and health vocabulary and skillset is about to expand in beautiful ways!….. the ways of our ancestors. )

I wonder how often our country’s

forefathers and foremothers reached for peppermint

and lemon

to aid in their health??

Both were a health kit staple even before Paul Revere rode his midnight ride

, tho lemons were often hard to come by and dear in price in many parts of the world!)

One thing our ancestors didn’t have to worry much with was Magnesium deficiency…. the soil was rich with it and not tainted by fertilizer that bound up magnesium making it unusable by plants (as has been the case since the 1970’s). Nowadays, unless someone is supplementing, it’s estimated that roughly 85% of the population is magnesium deficient. And when you know that magnesium is used about 600 different ways in the body for everything from enzymatic activity to cardiac and gut function to muscle and immune system support to bone health…. well, as you might imagine, a deficiency can be problematic. If you aren’t already using magnesium in your daily supplement regimen…. the freebie supplement this month may just help you with some “not so normal” things going on in your body that you thought were “normal”. (Normal ain’t always normal

Here’s everything you can earn this month:

100 PV loyalty order

Lemon essential oil, 15 ml

Retail value: $17.11

YL tip: Skip synthetic sprays! Add a few drops of Lemon to a spray bottle with witch hazel and water to freshen the air and uplift your space, naturally.

200 PV one-time and loyalty order

Peppermint essential oil, 15 ml

Retail value: $49.68

Pro tip: Dilute and rub Peppermint onto tired muscles post-workout or diffuse it for a crisp, cool pick-me-up on hot summer afternoons (or hot flashes…. which if you have these, we should talk

300 PV one-time and loyalty order

Super Magnesium supplement

Retail value: $93.10

YL tip: Ditch short-term sleep aids. These nature-powered capsules can be taken daily to support restful sleep, healthy energy levels, and over 300 essential functions.

Who is happy to see these three as a way to restock your necessities for free this month?

Happy July friends! How are you celebrating our country

this weekend?

How to Fix Bad Sleep Habits Naturally: Tips from a Retired Educator

Liz James · June 14, 2025 ·

by Terry Billups

Do you get up in the morning because you’ve had enough sleep or because you need/want to get up and going?

I was always the latter!!!

As a child/teenager/college student I hated missing anything, so, consequently, I went to bed late and got up super early for a kid (6:00 AM). I loved all the moments I experienced throughout the day.

As a teacher, I enjoyed the early morning time at school before everyone came in, just to have a little quiet time to do what I wanted in the room… tweak lesson plans, grade papers, move furniture around, put up new bulletin boards… or whatever I wanted. But, I also would grade papers til late at night. Turning the mind off was the hardest thing to do… it still is!

As a principal, I went in to school early to accomplish all the things I knew had to be done that day, because I knew there would be so many interruptions. My time was not mine and there were priorities that had to be completed… so early it was!

Now, I am retired. I have had many years of bad sleep habits to change. For all those years, I may have had 3 to 5 hours of sleep a night. The body needs more sleep than that. That’s when fatigue settles in, our bodies slide into survival mode, and illness hovers waiting to find a crack to slip in. And I can tell you, I was ill more than well the entire 34 years I was in education. Not good!!!

Isn’t it strange that we totally settle for what we feel is a norm, when in fact it is a bad habit.

With retirement, I had to “work” on fixing my bad sleeping habits. I learned that when I sleep, I should go to bed… even for a nap.

I’ve also learned:

to set a time to go to bed

to turn off all electronic devices at least an hour before going to bed

to read something for a few minutes

work on a puzzle… paper and pencil!

to rub Young Living body lotion on my legs and arms (I’m not choosey… I like them all and love the calming sensation they create)

use Deep Sleep Essence and/or ImmuPro right before I climb into bed

rub Valor, Lavender, Tranquil… any of the Young Living calming oils or blends under the back of my big toes… I also rub them on my wrists

when I wake up in the wee hours of the morning, if I feel I need more sleep, I stay in bad and relax my mind (whether I fall back to sleep isn’t the point… I’m allowing myself the time to sleep and rest)

Since I have been addressing this bad habit of jumping up at the crack of dawn and staying up ’til I can’t keep my eyes opened, I am now getting between 6 and 7 hours of sleep. I feel much more rested, alert, and haven’t had so many colds… in fact, I hardly have any everyday illnesses anymore. Running on totally fatigue is a thing of the past.

Are you like me and have had to change this bad habit of living on little sleep?

What do you do? We want to know!!
