Young Living November Gifts

· ·

Charlie and I woke up early this morning (a normal thing! 😉) and one of the first things we talked about was how fast November arrived this year. Soooooo fast! This year is scooting by!
The first of every month is a little like Christmas…. getting to see what Young Living is offering us for free (with qualifying purchase)!
 
Loyalty rewards are like getting a gift card with your 100PV purchase. 10 points spend just like 💰in the Young Living store on an order in the future. If you are not yet using Loyalty rewards as part of your thrifty shopping, you are missing out on savings! 10-25% back on your purchases? YES PLEASE!
 
YL Vitality Drops ($10….but free this month!). Did you know that the vast majority of people living in the USA have a fairly significant electrolyte imbalance and don’t even know it? Gatorade and other sugary (or fake sugar) drinks designed to boost electrolytes are helpful, but they create an even bigger problem by causing inflammation in the body (both sugar and fake sugar does this). Get your electrolytes with a healthier alternative that tastes delicious too! YL Vitality drops is an electrolyte blend that also contains more than 70 naturally occurring trace minerals ….. something else we tend to be deficient in. (The Grapefruit Bergamot flavor is my favorite!). What does a mild electrolyte imbalance look like or feel like? Glad you asked! ……. dizziness, irregular heartbeat, brain fog, fatigue, muscle cramps, constipation, headaches. (When you have the opportunity to try a product for free….. take advantage of it! You never know what you might be able to accomplish with it! I’ve had several ah-ha moments in my walk with YL that have been health game changers for me personally!)
 
Thieves Hand Sanitizer (the big one… 7.6oz member value $36.75ish I don’t think the large size is even available to buy right now ) ….. it seems like we live with year round germ season. Thieves doesn’t just help reduce infectious germ🤢🤧 spreading, it also has a little bit of extra ooomph. It also helps support a healthy immune system. You won’t find that in your standard hand sani’s.
 
I know so many people whose “gateway” oil was/is DiGize (member value $37.75…. but free this month!). Why is that? Well, it’s because our guts are assaulted in 1001 different ways, and if you experience any 😔🥺😳🤭😬😵‍💫🤮💩(or lack of 💩!) occasionally, DiGize just might become your new bestie. Apply directly to the belly button (don’t knock it til you’ve tried it!) for some quick relief. (Side note…. if you have any really stinky gym clothes, I add a few drops of DiGize to my laundry detergent and it does a fantastic job of giving my clothes a fresh scent. If you’ve ever struggled with gym clothes laundry funk, you can thank me now for this tip! 😉)
 
Thieves Chest Rub (member value$30….but free here!). We have all gone thru a couple of years of really nasty hacky cold and flu seasons, and this is one staple you do NOT want to not have on hand when you have a house full of hackers🤧. Not only does Thieves Chest Rub help loosen up and relieve the hacking, remember….. it’s also got Thieves in it. And what does Thieves do?….. it helps support a healthy immune system. News flash…. if you’re hacking 🤧, your immune system needed some support like yesterday!
 
Digest and Cleanse ( member value $31.75…. but free this month!) had been unavailable for forever and a day, and I know some people are doing the happy dance 💃🕺that it’s back in action. Tis the season for eating and over eating. These capsules are loaded with ingredients that stimulate digestion. For those of you who don’t like the smell of DiGize topically, this is a fantastic “on the go” (pun intended!) capsule for a sluggish or overtaxed digestive system.
 
And finally….. my friend Frank! Most people think of baby Jesus when they hear the word Frankincense (member value $84.75….but free this month!). And while anything that was good enough for Jesus is good enough for me, there’s more to Frankincense than simply a good smelling gift given by a very wise man. Even back in the day, Frankincense was known for its amazing health and wellness properties. Today…. if you were to simply search the word frankincense in pubmed.gov, you’d find over NINTY SEVEN PAGES of studies on the effects of frankincense on the body. I urge you to let your fingers do the walking and just spend a few minutes learning about this powerhouse of an oil. I use it daily in my DIY face serum (because of the effects it has on the skin), and in doing so….. I experience other beneficial results throughout my body and mind. It truly has been an amazing (and dare I say, miraculous!🙏🙌) addition to my healthy and wellness world for me personally.
 
Which freebie(s) are you most excited about this month? 😍

Young Living Perks

· ·

Here we are…. entering into the 9th month of 2022. I can’t believe we are 2/3 of the way thru the year…. can you?
 
Young Living is giving us the opportunity to be freely armed and ready when we feel like we’ve gotten that karate chop behind the knees that takes us out for a day or two with a box of Kleenex in hand. Better still, they are also giving us a few key tools to help stay healthy and able to tackle the daily “do list” while other around you seem to have struggling immune systems.
 
Let’s take a look here at the gifts we have the option to receive:
If you’re not on Loyalty Rewards, you are missing out on receiving 10-25% back on your monthly order in the way of points you can then use on products to keep you and your home free from toxic alternatives. You can learn more about Loyalty Rewards here: https://www.youngliving.com/us/en/learn/loyalty-rewards Our household has been blessed with thousands of dollars worth of free products over the 8 years we’ve been using Young Living. Thousands of dollars of products that have helped keep us out of the doctor’s office, supported our immune systems, and allowed us to avoid common household toxins which create epigenetic and hormonal cellular challenges (none of us wants that!😵)
 
Loyalty rewards is an option for any monthly order over 50PV per month. This month, Loyalty Reward members get an extra 10points added to our accounts to spend as we please when we order 100PV of healthy home products. That’s 10% off of what you just spent! 😍
 
More products for free? Certainly!
 
Thieves: I don’t know a soul whose immune system wouldn’t benefit from a little more Thieves in the world. I use Thieves daily in a roller bottle on the bottoms of my feet. Here’s my personal blend of choice: Thieves, Lemon, Pine, and Geranium to keep myself going. Of course, the lemon, pine, and geranium are optional, but if you know, you know…. those three are special for the times we live in, and Thieves does a mighty fine job of immune system support for all the other junk that comes our way.
 
R.C. : R as in Respiratory and C as in Congestion. The name stand for itself. Use in the diffuser, on your chest or back….. rub onto the bottoms of your feet with a little carrier oil and put some socks on. I know of people who also take this jewel to pedicure appointments and put a few drops in the warm foot soaking water.
SniffleEase: Tho formulated for the littles, I know biggies who use this with great success on themselves too. Same principles apply…. use in the diffuser, on the chest or back, or bottoms of feet. Please, for the love of your child, do not use toxin loaded stuff you may have gotten from the pharmacy if your kiddo is loaded with boogers….. there’s a gentler way to support their little bodies respiratory system.
Breathe Again: Is yet another tool for respiratory system support….. it’s almost as though Young Living has kept up with current times and life in general. 🤓🤔 Back To School season, the cooler months of Fall, and the impending inflammatory sugar season (…. affectionately known as the holidays) are all things we can expect to happen this time of year. I alternate use between Breathe Again and RC when I feel I need the support. I also really happen to like the way both smell… kind of like a spa, so I diffuse them pretty regularly to make my personal environment a relaxing smelling experience.
 
Inner Defense: I learned about Inner Defense early in my years with Young Living. Let me just say this…… every household needs at least 1 bottle of Inner Defense FOR EVERY PERSON who weighs 80lbs or more. When you need ID, you need it right then. I cannot tell you the number of times I’ve received a phone call or text asking if I have an extra bottle to spare. Preparedness friends….. If you stock up on toilet paper and tuna fish, you should be keeping bottles of Inner Defense on hand too.😉 If you do not have at least one bottle on hand, this is your opportunity to get one for free. It is worth every penny to have these on hand…. because if you wait til you need it to order it…. IT’S TOO LATE. PRO TIP: If you have dogs like we do, this is a valuable pet health tool. I’ve avoided many a trip to the vet by incorporating Inner Defense into my arsenal of wellness tools for my dogs (My dogs all weigh over 50lbs. Consult the Animal Desk Reference for weight / amount to give).
 
To learn more about the breakdown of how you can get these products for free with your order, please visit the Young Living website to learn more: https://www.youngliving.com/us/en/company/monthlypvpromo
 
And finally, if you haven’t yet dipped your big toe into the wellness waters of Young Living, and today you’d like to…. I’d be honored to be your tour guide and coach. The more we lift each other up in health, the better the world is!
xoxo

August Loyalty Gifts

· ·

August, friends! We blinked and it’s here. Summer is going by way too fast, and I know many kids and teachers are going back to school in less than two weeks. Time slow down pretty please!
 
I always have fun guessing at the theme of the monthly promos… if I was going to put a name to it, I’d give it an acronym, SSRI 😬. The pharmacist in me just had a belly laugh 😂🤣😅(look up SSRI, and you’ll see what I mean as you read 🥸)
In our little world for the month of August, SSRI means free products that are all about:
Scrubbing
Skin care
Relaxation
and Invigorating!
 
1. Free Loyalty Reward points…. I’m completely invigorated any time I can save money on something I buy regularly. Who doesn’t love to save money? Guys and gals, if you are not using the Loyalty reward opportunity, you are missing out. Identify where you want to improve in your health life, and when you purchase healthy products (oils, supplements, skin care, non toxic household cleaner, cosmetics, snacks, etc), you receive points that are literally money in your pocket for more free products. In the current recession/inflation state we are in economically, there are two things that are important: staying healthy and saving money! None of us can afford not to do both.
 
2. Eucalyptus Globulous…. one of my favorite scents because it smells like a spa….. fresh, clean, and invigorating. Eucalyptus is an interesting tree…. the Australian Aborigines are masterful healers using the tools available to them in nature. They use the leaves of the eucalyptus trees as wound cover because of its disinfecting properties. Maybe a few drops of this beautiful oil in a spray bottle (mix with water and a little witch hazel or vodka as a clean alcohol base), and you’ve got a good, clean smelling spray for stinky shoes, exercise equipment, etc. Bonus points…. it’s very handy as a bug repellant. Eucalyptus trees have been planted strategically in parts of North Africa to successfully block the spread of malaria in those areas. It’s a little too early for cold and flu season, but don’t forget it’s on your shelf when that time rolls around…. Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to chest and bottoms of feet for congestion relief!🤓
 
3.Patchouli is a member of the mint family, though it definitely doesn’t smell like peppermint or spearmint! 😁 It has an earthy smell to it. Interestingly, patchouli is the only essential oil whose fragrance improves as it ages, and it is a common additive in $100+ commercial perfumes. (Please, for the love of your health, learn to mix your own perfumes and colognes….. I can help you do this. Commercial perfumes are LOADED with endocrine disruptors 🥴) Patchouli has many health benefits…. regarding that SSRI reference, did you know that there have been many interesting studies examining patchouli’s effects on both the dopamine and serotonin? Here are links to two of them: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35631434/ and https://iopscience.iop.org/…/1742-6596/1321/2/022039/pdf . Patchpuli also has a history of benefitting the skin. I often add a few drops to my DIY face serum recipe… remember…. what you put on your skin has a direct effect throughout your body! Same with diffusing… things happen 😉. Patchouli pairs well with lavender, orange, cedarwood, lemon, grapefruit, rose, ylang ylang, sandalwood (and many more!)
 
4. Charcoal Mask….. have you tried this yet? Well, now’s your chance for free! Charcoal is a magnificent detoxifier, and a great way to soak up extra oil and exfoliate skin. (Word of caution… don’t apply to sunburned skin!). Other things we’ve used this mask for….. as a pit paste detox. If you’ve got stinky pits, it’s past time to work on detoxification. That’s your body speaking to you in it’s outside voice 🤨🤪🤓. A little dab on acne spots, and even a dab on bug stings and bites works well!
 
5. Satin Facial Scrub….. This face scrub feels sooooooo good on the skin. Peppy and invigorating. Have you tried it yet? It gently exfoliates and leaves my face tingly and fresh!
 
6. Thieves Kitchen and Bath Scrub. Honestly….. they should have called this the “Everything Scrub”. I’ve even had good luck using it on some hard to treat stains on laundry, on hubcaps, and outdoors on concrete stains (Thank you Kristine Lucius for that suggestion!) . It rapidly became a fast favorite for many of us when it was introduced a year or so ago. It’s powerful but also gentle (and of course, completely nontoxic!).
 
7. Super B! If you know…. you know. Young Living has so many natural energy enhancers, and Super B is one of those. I was talking to a friend a few days ago, and we were talking about the two things people complain about the most…… lack of sleep and lack of energy. Ha! They go hand in hand, right? On the months that Super B isn’t free, this is a fantastic and economical way to get a healthy energy boost in your day. Chronic stress contributes to the depletion of B vitamins in our body, and unless you are an extraordinarily conscientious eater, there’s a decent likelihood your B load is subpar. Additionally, we need B’s for helping regulate blood sugar, nervous system function, hormone production, energy production, and more. Bonus points for also containing small amounts selenium and zinc, two necessary trace minerals needed for a healthy immune system, pancreas and thyroid function.
 
Has one or more of these items already rocked your world? Please share your favorite story so we can learn from one another!
Have a beautiful and healthy Monday!

Young Living May Bonus Gifts

· ·

It’s all about beauty as we step into May! I’m excited, seeing some old friends, newer favorites, and a couple I’ve yet to meet personally (plus 10 points for free just for purchasing on Subcribe to Save….. that’s like a 10% back coupon to spend how I wish! 🥰 If you aren’t utilizing Subscribe to Save, you truly are missing out on an added way to both save money💰 in the family budget AND get even more products for free. Pleeeease…. reach out to me or someone you know if you don’t understand the benefits of Subscribe to Save or how to set it up. It’s literally like having an open Amazon cart that you can add and subtract items that ships once a month (whatever you’ve chosen to put in your cart).
 
Chatting a little about each product this month, but I’d love to hear your stories on a few of these. (Someone who chimes in will receive a $25 product credit from me on Friday May 4th) 😍
 
Lemongrass has been a staple in our home for oh…… I don’t know….. the last 7 years. It’s a “hot” oil, so best not to apply topically without also using a carrier oil! I’ve used it internally (it comes in the white label Vitality too…… remember, same oil in the bottles, just a different label to keep the FDA happy 😉 . I literally take this oil internally every day in a capsule and won’t be without it. How do you use it and what do you use it for? 🤓
 
If you don’t yet own your own bottle of Vanilla, you are in for a treat! We had a mocktails, cocktails, and “pure”fume with a purpose event last night and this was a favorite oil used. It’s a fantastic edition to your diffuser line up. Springtime reminds me of those Dreamsicle popsicles….. try blending Citrus Fresh and Vanilla in your diffuser and see if that doesn’t put a smile on your face 🙂 . What other oils have you combined Vanilla with that elevate your mood? Pretty is AND pretty does…According to studies, vanilla isn’t just for smelling…. it helps stimulate secretion of testosterone and and estrogen, creates an inhospitable environment for bacterial cooties (especially those prone to causing infections in wounds), eases feelings of anxiety and depression, which may also help support healthy blood pressure. Is there any reason NOT to use vanilla whenever you can? Oh, the aroma of vanilla also helps curb cravings for other sweets. How about that?!?
 
Geranium bourbon. It’s a “fancier” version of the geranium we know and love. I use geranium two very different ways regularly. How do you most often use it? 🤓 It is a very valuable tool for our toolkit!
 
The Bloom Essential oil Blend is relatively new to our YL Lifestyle, and it’s one of the few YL products I don’t yet own but am looking forward to trying! Tell me, what has been your experience with it? 🤓 Have you seen the ingredients?? 😍🌿👀…. Vetiver, Blue Cypress, Davana, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Jasmine, Sacred Frankincense,.. just to name a few! The YL website says it may be used topically or diffused. I bet it smells heavenly (not to mention all the beneficial properties those oils have on both the skin and the mind!).
 
And finally, the amethyst roller bottle. Who doesn’t need a little extra “pretty” in their life. Amethyst (and the color purple) happens to be one of my favorite gemstones and it always brings a smile to my face 🙂.
 
All of these are free (171.19$ value) with qualifying purchase! 😍
 
Enjoy your first day of May friends, and don’t forget to update your shopping carts! Have a blessed Sunday.~
xoxo~ liz
