Young Living’s Love Gifts for February

Liz James · February 1, 2024 ·

Happy February 💖friends! Yes, it’s the “month of love”….. in other words, it’s a month of high frequency emotions! And “the greatest of these is love” , right? (I Cor 13:13).

Did you know there are 7 different kinds of love? One of those is “philia” love…. friendship or shared goodwill, and Young Living certainly extends that to us each month with all the freebies we are offered. Take a look at what what will come with your qualifying order purchase 💕:

Deep Relief is one of my most favorite muscle 💪and stress helpers! Make your own 10ml roller bottle (x2) with this freebie and multiply your gift….. Find a friend or loved one who has some achy muscles and share the love with them!

Bergamot. Have you smelled it and used it? It has been studied for its properties that support healthy cortisol levels, allowing the body to rest and relax. Give it a try…. you might just fall in love with this beauty is as beauty does!

Any day can be Valentines Day with Sensation oil blend! It smells amazing in a diffuser, when applied to a neck or wrists as a perfume, or when added to some epsom salts for a nice hot bath. Make your own massage oil with Sensation (There won’t be any regrets! 😉)….. Add about 10 drops to coconut oil, and you’ve just created a love potion💘 with benefits! (PS: this is a VIP oil you’ll be hearing more about… along with some others over the next few weeks here!)

Spa day can be any day with the Charcoal Mask. Detoxifying skin and cleaning pores is something both men and women should be doing at least occasionally. The Charcoal Mask also exfoliates while detoxifying and cleaning! (Pro Tip: if you have a bug bite or itchy area, try applying a little dab of the mask to help pull toxins out and speed up the healing process). I think you’ll love the little peppermint fresh tingle that comes along with using it.

Did you know that toxins in our body affect our frequency, which ultimately also affects our emotions? DetoxZyme is a blend of enzymes and essential oils strategically formulated to promote detoxification and support normal digestive function. Keep yourself (or someone you love) healthy, happy and loved from the inside out!

These are all AMAZING health and wellness tools we (Charlie and I) keep in our “toolkit” and I look forward to restocking our shelves!

Hugs and love to each one of you this February, and remember….. nobody loves you more than Jesus! ~ liz

January Young Living Gifts 2024

Liz James · January 1, 2024 ·

Good morning friends and Happy 2024!
Are you ready for a fresh start? I believe this year is going to be one for the record books in soooooo many beautiful ways and woke up with a feeling of anticipation and happy energy…… and THEN when I hopped on the computer (after my quiet time) and saw our YL gifts with purchase… I was celebrating🥳🙌🙌 all over again! There’s not a single thing here that we don’t use on the regular, which means 💰💰💰savings for us!
The YL Vitality Drops in Grapefruit Bergamot….. have been a staple in our home since they came out a few years ago. Not only do they taste as delicious as flavored water, but they truly are tasty as tasty does…… it’s a healthy way to keep your electrolytes in balance (as well as getting a dose of over 70+ naturally occurring ionic trace minerals).
I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve given a tube of my stash of Thieves Chest Rub to people who are sick with respiratory gunk. Thankfully, we are rarely sick at our house (thanks to our continuous efforts in kicking all kinds of mind, body, and spirit toxins to the curb). Nonetheless, we have a robust tool kit on hand, just in case! Lung junk is no joke….. I grew up with it constantly (I was a pretty sick little kid) and being often congested is a strong growing-up memory for me). People who have used Thieves Chest Rub know how powerful it is in helping with congestion. Apply to the chest (or the bottoms of feet) to help ease breathing and congestion issues. The best time to have this on hand is BEFORE you need it!
Peppermint….. how do I use thee? Let me count the ways! Oh, there are about 100 different reasons to use peppermint and keep it on hand. I won’t be without it and use it for everything from getting rid of headaches, fresh breath, keeping myself alert and away, poison ivy remediation, fevers, digestion, being overheated, at the gym, sore muscles…. the list goes on. Do your research on peppermint….. God made the peppermint plant for so many aspects of our health and wellness!
Inner Beauty Collagen…. collagen has been on the health and wellness radar for several years now, and just as in all supplements…. not all collagen is created equally 😉(know your supplement company and where their ingredients come from!). Inner Beauty Collagen was formulated specifically for our hair, skin, and nail health. If you have fine lines and wrinkles you wish weren’t so prominent, or if you have sun-damaged skin, weak/brittle nails, or hair that needs healthy help…. you’ll be thankful for this freebie! This goes into our “morning ritual” drink every day at our home. 🥤
Super C.….. unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the value of Vitamin C. 🫶I’m including a nifty summary of all the things Vitamin C does in our body (thanks Oregon State U for this easy-to-read Vit C bio! …. https://lpi.oregonstate.edu/mic/vitamins/vitamin-C ). The biggest thing to remember is that not all Vitamin C (aka ascorbic acid) is equal. Where it is sourced from is important! Unfortunately, much of Vitamin C sourcing comes from “isolated ascorbic acid” most frequently derived from GMO’d corn. This is problematic for a couple of reasons…..1. anything from a GMO source is not healthy for us, and 2. when you “isolate” something like ascorbic acid, you are leaving behind all the essential co-factors that God-given whole foods contain. These are needed for the Vitamin C to work properly in the body. Thankfully, Super C’s sourcing comes from whole food bioflavonoids so we don’t have to worry about all that!
Do you have a favorite freebie listed here?….. or are you like me and thrilled to see ALL of them in your basket for free this month? 😍
Wishing you Joy, beautiful Anticipation, and a Peace that passes all understanding for all 2024 has in store for us! xoxo~ liz
 
 
 

December Gifts from YL

Liz James · December 1, 2023 ·

Oh Christmas tree🎄, Oh Christmas tree 🎄…… look at those tree oils Young Living has put under our Christmas Tree this December 🙌💖. Some of my faves, and just in time to restock my oil cabinet on a few of them.
🎄Cedarwood…. who’d have thought such a common tree could have such uncommonly good benefits for our bodies? Remember, if you aren’t sure what to use an oil for, there are lots of resources (like here on H3…. we’re LOADED with a community that cumulatively has thousands of years of experience using oils). Did you know that Young Living has Pubmed studies highlighting many oils on their website? Scroll down to the bottom of the cedarwood page, and you’ll find 4 studies highlighting its supportive effects for pain modulation, sleep, anti-mosquito 🦟, and hair growth. ( there are 532 more studies on Pubmed 🤓).
 
🎄Thieves … I don’t know anyone who doesn’t need ALL the Thieves… especially when it’s 15ml for free! This is a staple for our house. It’s often in the diffuser, and ALWAYS on the bottoms of my feet every night for immune system support. Thieves is a blend of 5 VIP immune supportive oils, and if you are a researcher, I’d encourage you to research all 5 of them. Bonus points… it’s a great Fall / Winter scent as is, or add a little Orange, Cedarwood, or Northern Lights Black Spruce for a festive Christmas tree upgrade. #scentswithbenefits
 
🎄Longevity Vitality. I’m not gonna lie; this oil blend doesn’t smell great (thanks to the aroma of thyme), but it DOES do GREAT things for the body. It is incredibly immune-supportive and digestion-supportive. It also supports healthy cellular function overall. Once I understood how this blend of thyme, orange, clove, and frank was designed to work, it became a regular in my supplement routine. One of the things I do (you do you, Boo), is take a capsule every morning with 3 drops of Longevity, 3 drops of lemongrass, and 3 drops of Pine.
 
🎄 When I learned the value of Copaiba years ago, I quickly added it to my “must have” stash (yep, I pretty much keep at least 3 bottles on hand at any given time). It’s quite the powerhouse when it comes to supporting a healthy inflammatory response. (there’s healthy and then there’s 🔥🥺). If you’ve got some 🔥somewhere in your body, you might end up feeling like hugging a Copaiba tree for all it did for you. Copaiba can be used safely both internally and externally.
I anticipate December’s free gifts every year because there’s nearly always the opportunity for a free Frankincense under the tree…. I mean, WHO doesn’t use and love Frank? 😍
 
Ya’ll know my reference points always point back to God and science, and Frankincense is a perfect example of this. I mean, anything that was good enough for baby Jesus is surely meant for goodness for all of us (animals too!). I just did a quick pubmed.gov search and noted that there are 920 studies currently listed under the keyword “Boswellia” (the scientific name for our friend Frank). I strongly encourage you to do a little digging. You have likely been undervaluing this plant gift God gave all of us. I use it every single day in my face serum, and frankly (hee hee, see what I did there), I can’t get enough of it.
 
Here’s my DIY Face Serum Recipe that I’ve used for the last 9+ years:
1- 15 ml empty bottle
15 drops of Frank
15 drops of Lavender
2 drops of Peppermint
(8-10 drops of any of the following depending on “how my skin and emotions are feeling”)….. myrrh, 2-5 drops of blue tansy, geranium, cypress, palo santo, ….. you might find your favorites…. these are mine)
fill up the remainder of the 15 ml bottle with your favorite carrier oil of choice. I love organic fractionated coconut, or macadamia nut, or apricot seed oil. Find the carrier oil that works best with your skin.
I love knowing that using Frank on my face has a positive effect on every cell in my body 🙌.
 
If you’d like to learn more (because there is a TON more to learn about our freebies this month…. here’s a link to explore: https://1602257.lifestepseo.com/…/december-gift-with…
Hugs and Happy December friends! ~ liz

Young Living Huge Sale

Liz James · November 15, 2023 ·

Even people who don’t use and rely on essential oils as a major facilitator for their health and wellness know that lavender is known for its tremendous relaxing capabilities.
It’s always good to see science🤓📚 backed studies validating that which we already know 🥰. Of course, there’s real lavender and then there’s the fake-o stuff you want to avoid (nobody needs their endocrine system disrupted!🥲).
 
This study has some nice data🤓😉: sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0944711319303411?via%3Dihub
 
BTW, Lavender is HUGELY on sale thru November 18th along with about 100 other health and wellness tools. Not sure where to start? Here’s my list of on-sale faves and why:
 
Digize: (for those times when the digestive system feels 🤢😵‍💫🥴 or💩 is a problem)
 
Frankincense: Yes, it’s baby Jesus’ oil, but why? Historically, this is one of the most healing + wellness essential oils out there, and I use it EVERY SINGLE DAY (so yes, I’ll be buying a few of these) in multiple ways.
 
Immupro: Because adequate sleep is a cornerstone to health, and bonus points for Immupro’s immune system supportive ingredients!
 
Lavender: When in doubt, use lavender on it! (That’s the truth). This is the other oil I use without fail in multiple ways (including my DIY morning face serum) throughout my day.
 
Progessence Plus: Most women who haven’t been working on balancing their hormones are estrogen-dominant. Let’s just say that the world is a better place for those of us (even those of us post-menopausal) because of this oil blend. 😉💖
 
Thieves: If every household had Thieves, the number of sick days used would go down significantly. (ALL the Thieves… essential oil, toothpaste, cleaning products etc).
 
NingXia Red: 🥤If you’ve been itching to do the 14-day Reset, here’s a discounted way to do it! Grab enough to walk thru the reset once, and you’ll FEEL the difference. Promise! (Not sure what this is? Please message me.)
 
There’s so much more, right? If you are already incorporating Young Living in your health and wellness journey, which items were you happiest to see on sale?
Don’t forget…. if you’re new to Young Living, you can use “SHAREYL” for an additional 10% off. Ask your YL friend for their link, or if you’d like to work with me individually, you can use mine too 🙂

Young Living Says Thank You

Liz James · November 1, 2023 ·

Here in North Texas, we went from Summer 🥵 weather to Winter🥶 (29 degrees) in the blink of an eye, and now it’s November with Thanksgiving and Christmas 🎄🎁 right around the corner! With all of the gatherings planned, along with shopping, and big “to-do” lists before the end of 2023, Young Living ushers in the season for us with a great group of freebies for November.
 
Who uses Grapefruit regularly? If not, please reconsider! With the holiday munchies available everywhere you turn, we need all the help we can get. Studies like this https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17615482/ can be found on the YL website, indicate that getting grapefruit into your daily habits might be a great addition as we navigate the next few months of carbs and sugar!
 
Sometimes the overwhelm can kick in this time of year, and it can be challenging to remember the reason we are “doing all the things” or that we have the ABILITY and Resources to do anything…. much less…. all the things. We receive Gratitude with gratitude🙌🫶🙏 this month as a freebie. Nope…. this oil isn’t magic (tho it does smell lovely!), but it does bring intention and attention to the room. Words matter, and a specific scent paired with a word helps the brain recall the reason. (Plus, I love that there are oils in this blend that actually stimulate certain neurotransmitters that are present when gratitude is in play 🤓😍).
 
Inner Defense. The best offense is a great defense! Inner Defense is a brilliant support to keep handy for those days🥴🤧🤒 when you just are not feeling up to par. It’s also a FABULOUS tool in terms of prevention.
PROTIP: I travel with a bottle of ID because when we travel we often run into cooties 🦠that like to ruin the trip. I take 1 capsule a day (always take it with fatty food!) preventatively whenever I’m on the road OR whenever I know I’m going to be in a big crowd of people.
 
One Heart is an oil blend that was introduced in support of the Young Living Foundation. https://www.younglivingfoundation.org/ WHAT?? You didn’t know that YL had a not-for-profit foundation benefitting people all over the world? They do, and have impacted people’s lives in ways that nurture, rescue (literally!), and protect. In essence, the YLF does “in the physical” exactly what the oils and products do for each of us. One Heart is a beautiful (and helpful!) fragrance that contains pricey oils like jasmine, frankincense, ocotea, northern lights black spruce, and more. Not only is this a great oil to drop into your diffuser, but remember that each oil within a blend has specific properties that act upon our body…. and this particular blend has some great ones that support the body all year round. “Perfume with a purpose” 😉.
 
RC is a “must-have” on standby (and inaction) for this time of year. We tend to think of RC as for “respiratory and congestion”, but leaving it at that would mean underutilizing its capabilities. RC is a blend of oils that are also great for focus and energizing. I know several people who also carry this oil to their pedi appointments and drop a few drops in the soaking water.
 
Sometimes the holiday season brings out the grouchy in even the most cheerful of folks. PROTIP: It’s just hard to be grouchy when Citrus Fresh 🌞 is in the room…. so drop this beauty into the diffuser and watch moods change for the better! Turns out, it’s not our imagination…. there’s science to back it up. (homework: go read about Citrus Fresh in the “discover our research” portion of the Citrus Fresh writeup on the YL website).
 
Happy November friends! I’m curious…. who has Inner Defense in their home already? Give me a 👍 if you do! (If not, here’s your chance to get it for free💖and save some money in the process! As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. 😉)
xoxo~ liz
