December Young Living Gifts 2024

Liz James · December 1, 2024 ·

Is it just me or does it feel like we just ate turkey

, went to bed and woke up and now it’s like days away from Christmas

? 2024 Just picked up some speed

Stop. Breathe. Enjoy the Season.

And remember, life, all of this Holiday fullness/busyness…. it’s not about things, it’s about people, community, and togetherness.

I’m sitting here reflecting on Young Living’s December choices for our gifts with purchase (and purpose!). Subtly I’m also noticing the bottles are red, white, and blue

. YES! Let’s DO make America Healthy Again

So many casual conversations I have with people usually have an undercurrent of a health concern either for themselves or someone they love, and I feel certain the same is happening around you. It may only be a word or two in the conversation, but it’s there, and that means the concern is occupying their heart and mind.

We truly are the sickest we’ve ever been, and we are going to learn the truth of how sick we are as a nation in more revealing ways over the next year. I just learned this week that for every dollar

spent on a negatively impactful food- beverage/cosmetic/household product, THREE

dollars will be spent on the aftermath sometime in the future (Medical issues are the number one reason for bankruptcy).

December is often a time of reflection. I’m thankful for each of you helping other people grow in their health in small but impactful ways. You are making a difference in “your people’s” lives, planting seeds, cultivating growth, and helping people thrive (not just survive).

Instead of bringing a bottle of wine as a hostess gift, gift a diffuser with a bottle of essential oil (think about that person…. what do they need to improve their quality of life…. sleep, calming, joy, a decreased toxin load ?). (Remember, every oil blend has a deeper purpose than the name on the bottle may suggest. Neurotransmitters like oils

. )

Bring in the Christmas season at your office with a diffuser filled with Christmas Spirit.… it’s a favorite and it will make any atmosphere festive (not to mention it has some great immune supportive properties too!

). That’s a stealth gift that keeps Grinchy germs at bay while boosting mood and spirit.

I was going to suggest using the Dry Skin Serum as a stocking stuffer, but then I looked at the ingredients

…. I may have to keep that one for myself. What a beautiful and healthful blend! In 11 (almost 12 years) of Young Living, this is one I’ve never tried myself…. Merry Christmas to me!

Happy December Friends! Enjoy the season, and know that you are making a difference!

Young Living November Gifts 2024

Liz James · November 1, 2024 ·

And just like that….. we are 2 months away from 2025 . This season of festivities and planning for the upcoming new year creeps up on us so fast. Truly, the days are long but the years are short!

I love the symbolism and thoughtfulness behind Young Living’s choice of gifts they offer us each month. November and December are usually months of excess noshing and feasting, and they are also often the months of greatest worry as the end of the year is a time for reflection. I don’t know about you, but for me, this is the greatest time of year when my digestive system tends to need a little extra help processing both food and emotions! That gut-brain connection is scientifically proven!

100PV Loyalty Order: 5ml DiGize Vitality essential oil blend
Pro tip: Add 1 drop to honey and mix it in warm water before your feast to support digestion and soothe occasional stomach discomfort. (I use it straight…. no honey… and carry it with me at all times. You wouldn’t believe how many people around you suffer from indigestion and would benefit from this easy to share oil. It’s like pulling a thorn out of the lion’s paw…… so helpful, and your friends will thank you for the relief! If you don’t like the taste, dab a drop in your belly button. If you don’t like the smell…. apply to the bottoms of your feet and cover with socks! )

200PV Order: 15ml Abundance essential oil blend
Pro tip: No Young Living oil blend is created without a great deal of thought and science backed purpose poured into each blending. One of the greatest truths about lack is the aspect of poverty mindset, and that mindset can be generational in families. If you have any downtime in the next few months, I’d like to suggest picking up a copy of the book, It Is What You Make It by Steve Gilliland, and then consider diffusing this warm, spicy, inviting blend during your days, gatherings, and as you read this book. (Change your mindset, change your personal world ). Neural pathways usually need remodeling as you create your own abundance (of whatever you may be lacking in life), and the blend Abundance is created for a time such as this!

300PV Order: AlkaLime stick packs, 30 ct.
Pro tip: Indulging in acidic holiday treats …..ahem….. sugar season combined with eating foods you may not be accustomed to eating often creates rumblies in the tummy! This is another “on the go” tool to carry with you and perhaps even share with a friend in need. Mix 1 stick pack in water for an alkalinizing drink that starts working right away to soothe the occasional upset stomach.

Final thoughts about abundance this beautiful November 1st morning….. there is no greater gift (other than leading someone to Jesus ) than to give someone than the gift of empowerment in whatever areas of life they may feel defeated or struggling in. We (the Young Living family) are here to help as a community. Overcoming struggles is easier in community. Is there someone you know who could use some health help? Some community support? Maybe even a little extra income to help pay for their own restoration of health journey?…. or perhaps this is you? If you are already part of the Young Living family, reach out to someone you know and trust. (If you are not yet a Young Living member, please feel free to privately message me.) The cumulative knowledge in the Young Living community is so valuable… priceless in many cases…. each one of us has a story, a path, and a journey that has been given to you (and me). We have experiences in life we learn from so that we can lead others with our “been there done that” knowledge. Don’t let sharing intimidate you…. be the hands and feet that lead others towards overcoming their lack.

One of my personal mottos is this: “You’ll never know if you can do something, if you don’t just do the thing.”

October 2024 Young Living Gifts

Liz James · October 1, 2024 ·

October is here!….. and you know what that means

Sugar and germ sharing disguised as Holidays! Don’t say I didn’t warn ya…… Increased sugar intake combined with an increase in travel, lots of “peopling”, and a packed schedule (exposure to new regional bacteria your body may not be accustomed to, added stress which decreases the immune system, and spending more time indoors with recycled air) are all factors known for compromising the immune system.

Help keep your immune system healthy compliments of Young Living with the gifts with purchase this month! Here’s how I use these tools both offensively and defensively:

Unfortunately, sometimes we don’t recognize quickly enough when we’ve allowed ourselves to get run down (and haven’t done mediation to keep ourselves healthy despite the added burdens life has thrown at us). Raven is for those times when my respiratory system has taken a hit. It’s especially helpful supporting lung function when under the weather.

One of my “non negotiables” in my daily routine includes taking a capsule of oils every morning. One of the oils in that capsule is Longevity. When I first learned of the benefits of Longevity, AND knowing the assault our body is under from all the toxins and DNA damaging influences in our environment, I knew that this is one oil I would never do without. Yes, Longevity comes in capsule form (premade), but I save a little bit of money by making my own and also, this way, I make my own “designer” capsule with the other oils I know my body benefits from.

Immugummies is a relatively new chewable product that is a fun tasty way to help support ….. the immune system AND the respiratory system. It’s loaded with elderberry (we all know the benefits of elderberry, right?) and other immune supportive natural ingredients. In a perfect world, these tasty treats would be handed out for Halloween instead of candy!

I’m curious….. have you tried all 3 of these products in your time with Young Living?

Stay healthy friends! We have the tools….. we just have to USE them. xoxo~ liz

September 2024 Young Living Extras

Liz James · September 2, 2024 ·

September.

It’s one of the month’s of change that we can expect every year without fail.

Kids go back to school

At some point in the month, those of us in the south will catch a break with cooler crisper morning temperatures, and Autumn

is officially ushered in, and you can even smell a change in the air!

I love Young Living’s gifts with purchase picks for us this month!

I mean, who doesn’t love Vanilla ?? (and frankly, I can’t believe it’s free with a 100PV (Loyalty Rewards) order… it’s $34.50 to purchase). Vanilla is known for making everything smell amazing, and like all of our YL essential oils, it has health benefits too, not the least of which is helping create a calming relaxing environment. I did a quick pubmed.gov search to see what studies I could find about vanilla, and there were some interesting finds there (go do a deep dive if you are curious!

). One of those studies suggested that smelling vanilla at night helps with sleep, and may actually also reduce the frequency of urination at night. This is a top complaint for many people over the age of 50, so it may be worthy of doing your own “at home” study to see if it works for you if this is something that is a problem for you.

Cinnamon Bark… do you use it? And if so, how? This is a staple for “Fall is in the air” diffuser blends. Don’t leave it there tho….. cinnamon bark isn’t just another pretty scent, it has many health benefits (one of the reasons it’s a key ingredient in Thieves). Again, I encourage you (even if you scientific words aren’t your jam) to let your fingers do the walking in pubmed.gov. Look up “cinnamomum zeylanicum” and see what I saw

. In less than 2 minutes, I found that our YL (true) cinnamon bark oil has potent activity on no less than 15 different health concerns. Remember that Cinnamon Bark oil is a “hot” oil, so you’ll always want to use/dilute heavily with a carrier oil if you choose to use topically….. and that diffusing is extremely effective in helping people around you be healthy without them even knowing it!

It’s also a key ingredient in the entire Thieves Household Cleaner line….. I mean, if you aren’t using THHC as your main cleaning supply, you’re missing a VIP way to keep your immune system supported and your house clean! (I don’t know of another household cleaner that actually improves your health while you use it! )

Immupro is one of my monthly faves, though I’ve been experimenting (and loving!) the new YL Deep Night Essence for sleep. Both products enhance my sleep (I tend to be a VERY light sleeper. I have no trouble going to sleep or going back to sleep if I get up, but I do tend to be easily awakened by light and any noise). Both Immupro and Deep Night Essence have proven to be helpful to me in that regard. One of the extra benefits of Immupro is that it helps with sleep AND it is immune system supportive. Immupro has zinc and selenium (important factors in immune system function), along with a bit of melatonin, orange essential oil, wolfberries and other ingredients. With the advent of the Fall season comes a need to be especially mindful of keeping a healthy strong immune system, because well…. we all know that Fall also usually signals “the sugar season” which drops everyone’s immune system when indulged. (Fall also signals that time of year when other “things” tend to trigger a drop in health…. IYKYK. Remember, God gave us a body that has the capacity to take care of itself when given the right tools: exercise, healthy whole foods, proper stress management, hydration, a great circle of friends/community, etc!)

Happy Sunday friends! xoxo ~ liz
