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 factoid๐Ÿค“: 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 ๐Ÿง(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 longer productive lives. He did the same for us too…… embrace this last month of hibernation and take care of you!)
ย 
Young Living is kindly giving us tools for free (with 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.
ย 
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. ๐Ÿฅฐ
ย 
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 ๐Ÿ˜‰)
ย 
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
ย 
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 edition 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 ๐Ÿค“digging on each one of these, and you find out exactly why (purpose) BLOOM was created ๐Ÿ˜.
ย 
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 younger๐Ÿคช). 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.
ย 
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 happyโ›ฑ๐Ÿโ˜€๏ธ! You won’t be disappointed, and neither will your skin!
ย 
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!

Tips for Your Blood Draw Day

Liz James · January 26, 2023 ·

I’m entering into my 5th year of helping people with their labwork, including my own. Yesterday morning was my annual blood draw….. 14 vials๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ later. I’m not gonna lie, after 14 vials I can feel a little lightheaded. I prepped this morning and immediately after the blood draw, I drank 6 oz of NingXia Red ๐Ÿฅคand then had breakfast……….. and THEN did a full cardio๐Ÿฆต๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿซ๐Ÿซ€ workout at the gym (I failed at that last year, because I felt too weak… but I also didn’t drink the NingXia๐Ÿ˜‰). Still feeling strong and not the least bit woozy!
ย 
PRO Tip…… use your NingXia Red for rapid recovery! It works in more situations than blood draws ๐Ÿ˜‰.

Horse (and People) Deworming

Liz James · January 19, 2023 ·

I’ve been using #silverliningherbs equine dewormer for several years now and LOVE the product (it’s super easy to use in addition to being safe for them). I also love that they send out a deworming schedule I can keep in the feed room as a reminder. I also love that they send out this schedule because it helps me plan when I’m going to start my 2-3 times a year parasite cleanse for my human self. It takes a little prepping to get my personal house in order beforehand. Making sure the digestive system is in strong working order, supporting liver function, and then the actual parasite cleanse. Have you ever done one?
 
Here’s a great reference for best practice start date of the actual parasite cleanse. Plan on 4-6 weeks of gut/liver love beforehand and during ๐Ÿ˜‰.
 
We North Americans are a snotty bunch…. thinking parasites are only an issue in 3rd world countries. No so. We’re just as ๐Ÿชฑ๐Ÿฆ wormy!….. maybe even moreso because it’s an often neglected aspect of health.

Heart Diffuser Challenge

Happy Tuesday friends!
ย 
Have you heard about the ๐ŸฅฐHAPPY HEARTS DIFFUSER CHALLENGE? ๐Ÿฅฐ
โค๏ธ During February, we (myself, many others, and perhaps you too?) will be diffusing Bergamot everyday for 28 days. Heads up…. I’m starting now because it takes 6 weeks to get good at a habit ๐Ÿ˜.

ย 
If you aren’t using oils to help with your emotional health, please, consider giving it a try! “Try” in this case doesn’t mean once and done….. try means “let it become your BFF companion for at least one month, and see what happens ๐Ÿ˜‰โค๏ธ.
ย 
A little bit about our new BFF Bergamot:
โ€ข Has a zesty citrus flavor that’s great in diffuser blends, recipes, and DIYs
โ€ข Uplifts the emotions and senses
โ€ข Contains antioxidants that help support a healthy lifestyle
โ€ข Helps support the cardiovascular system
โ€ข Is a wonderful choice for combating oily skin
ย 
Bergamot is also a huge component for many perfumes due to its ability to balance the mix of aromas and harmonize all of the essences. Some of our favorite pairings are:
โ€ข Bergamot + White Angelica
โ€ข Bergamot + Sacred Frankincense
โ€ข Bergamot + Stress Away
โ€ข Bergamot + Vetiver
ย 
Many a surprise outcomes have resulted from giving something a good 6 week try. Winter months can often cause an emergence of winter blues. Let’s see if Bergamot can reverse that trend. Will you?
ย

Dry Skin Solutions

Liz James · January 10, 2023 ·

Dry skin is something so many of us struggle with in the winter months. We slather on lotions and creams and it can seem like a constant battle. Dry skin does tend to get worse in the winter because our bodies don’t seem to crave water as much and drinks like coffee or hot chocolate (or soda) don’t solve the problem. It’s us to up to be the watchdog and caregiver of ourselves!
Other signs of winter dehydration:
  1. Dark colored urine (it should be light colored to clear)
  2. Sweating or finding you don’t need to visit the bathroom as often.
  3. fatigue (very common symptom of dehydration!)
  4. Dry mouth
  5. Headaches
  6. Sugar cravings (dehydration makes it harder to break down glycogen which releases glucose/energy to the bloodstream. This leads to craving sweet treats)
Unless you have a medical condition, be sure to drink at least half your body weight in fluid ounces daily (ex: 200lb person will need to drink 100 oz of water daily). If drinking plain water isn’t your jam, add in the YL Vitality Drops (electrolytes) for a tasty alternative! (available as Lavender Lemonade or Bergamot Grapefruit).
