March Young Living Freebies

Liz James · March 1, 2023 ·

Happy March 1st friends! I love waking up on the first of each month and taking a peek at our gifts with purchase each month. It’s a little like Christmas 12 times a year! 😍The YL gift pickers always do such a great job of reflecting the season with what they gift us.
 
Springtime typically means ALOT more outdoor activities, and that Golden Turmeric will come in very handy for sore muscles and joints. We have a decent sized garden and blackberry vineyard (which means hours and hours of manual labor…. we garden the YL way…. pulling weeds by hand 👩‍🔧👨‍🔧…. no toxic chemicals here!) Danette Goodyear taught me a little trick a few years back….. I flavor my yogurt with it….. yummy!
 
I don’t know a single person who doesn’t love Lushious Lemon essential oil blend. It is, quite simply, fresh and happy! It’s a great year round diffused oil choice…. it will make everyone happy (literally! You just can’t be grumpy with that aroma in the air 😉)
 
March Texas weather is erratic ☀️🌬⛈❄️🌤 (to say the least!), and the Steeped Vitality Orange Rose Hip Black Tea is a nice morning ritual for me, especially on the cold mornings we’re still having randomly. I’m almost out, and I love that they must have checked my pantry supply before they made their gift with purchase list 🤪! Tea leaves are one of the most chemically processed natural drinks we expose ourselves to (coffee beans too)….. which is why it’s so important to drink organically. We can rest assured that YL teas (Slique Tea is another favorite of mine) are clean alternatives to what is out there.
 
And seriously…. they must have known. I’m down to about an 1/8 of a bottle of the BALANCE Face Cleanser, and that was something I was going to add to my YL order this month… I was thinking about this when I was in the shower this morning. Now I can use that money to order something else I need, and still get the BALANCE for free! ( BTW, I am LOVING the Bloom essential oil blend as a face serum before putting makeup on. It was free last month… is anyone else using it and loving it too? )
 
And finally….. those 10 Loyalty Reward Points (when you place a 100PV Loyalty Rewards order)….. Points = product = money saved for something else. If you aren’t utilizing the Loyalty Rewards program, you are missing out on one of the most economical ways to get what you need.
 
What’s your gifted fave this month?
xoxo~ liz

Lovin’ On My People

Liz James · February 19, 2023 ·

Nothing says love like a good old ionic footbath detox! ❤️😜🤓 Seriously tho….. better that gunk is outside you than inside you🥴!
 
We sure had a fun morning loving on our Young Living community. If health and wellness isn’t addressing mind, body and spirit, then there will be a missing piece of the wellness puzzle.
 
Studies (multiple ones!) show repeatedly that the overall health of a person is affected pretty dramatically by their community (those they do life with). We are the sum and reflection of the people we spend our time with.
 
Is your tribe contributing in a positive way to your health?

Why I Choose Natural Healing: The Pharmaceutical Fallout You’re Not Being Told About

Liz James · February 3, 2023 ·

Infographic titled 'Activities that support serotonin naturally' with a lightbulb icon. Lists 11 activities: eat tryptophan-rich foods like turkey and salmon; aerobic exercise; spend more time in sunshine; eat probiotic-rich foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut, or kefir, or take multi-strain probiotics like Young Living's Life 9 or MightyPro for kids; schedule regular massages; practice yoga, mindfulness, or prayer; learn breathing exercises such as box breathing and alternate nostril breathing; volunteer, practice gratitude, and laugh often; aromatherapy with pure essential oils including frankincense, ylang ylang, and citrus oils; prioritize sleep hygiene and get 7-8 hours per night; and socialize even if you don't feel like it.
One of the (MANY) reasons I’m so passionate about finding alternative / natural healing methods is because of the fallout that always occurs to some degree within every single person who steps into chronic pharmaceutical use.
 
Sometimes the fallout is slow🐢. Sometimes it happens quickly🐇. When it happens slowly, it’s rare that the particular medication gets appropriately blamed. Such is the case with antidepressants (and hundreds of other medications) contributing to the surge in antibiotic resistant bacteria in our culture.
 
The consequences: antibiotics may not work as well as they should when they are used, which leads to hard to treat/ difficult to overcome infections. An estimated 35,000 deaths a year in the USA are attributed to antimicrobial resistant infections. I wonder how many of those who have died were taking medication(s) which promoted antibiotic resistance 🤔?
 
Interesting article: 👉How Antidepressants Help Bacteria Resist Antibiotics https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-00186-y.
 
I’m not suggesting anyone get off their medication. Have that conversation with a health provider who is not completely influenced by Big Pharma. And in the meantime, utilize natural ways to heal and support your body in a manner that doesn’t require pharmaceuticals. 😘

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!

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 vials🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸 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 🥤and then had breakfast……….. and THEN did a full cardio🦵💪🫁🫀 workout at the gym (I failed at that last year, because I felt too weak… but I also didn’t drink the NingXia😉). Still feeling strong and not the least bit woozy!
 
PRO Tip…… use your NingXia Red for rapid recovery! It works in more situations than blood draws 😉.
xoxo~ liz
