God’s creation is so amazing down to the tiniest details!

Liz James · January 7, 2023 ·

—Plants Produce and Store Essential Oils Within
Essential Oils within the Plant Parts
 
Essential oils found in trees, bushes, seeds, roots and leaves are produced by cells WITHIN the center of the plant. Most of these central cells resemble beach balls or drinking straws.
 
Essential oil in SEEDS: carrot, anise, fennel, dill, caraway
Essential oil in BARK: cinnamon bark, cassia bark
Essential oil in ROOTS: valerian root, ginger root, vetiver root
Essential oil in LEAVES & NEEDLES: cinnamon leaf, pine needles, fir needles, spruce needles
Essential oil in TREES: pine, fir, spruce, juniper, cedarwood, sandalwood, hinoki
Essential oil in OLEOGUM-RESIN: frankincense, myrrh, copaiba, elemi, pine, spruce
Essential oil in FLOWER PETALS: rose, ylang ylang, clove bud, neroli
Essential oil in CITRUS PEELS: orange, lemon, grapefruit, tangerine, mandarin, lime
 
Aromatic plants produce and store essential oil molecules on the surface and central regions of leaves, stems, roots, seeds, flowers, and wood. You’ve experienced plant essential oils many times and may not have known it.
 
EXPERIMENT. Go to your spice rack or drawer. Take out each spice and take a whiff. Now do the same for essential oils. You will find the aroma is STRONGER for the essential oils because their aroma is concentrated. ……..Cole Woolley, PhD. #colewoolleyphd
 
Yes!
God’s creation is so amazing down to the tiniest details!

Young Living Gifts – Happy New Year

Liz James · January 1, 2023 ·

Happy New Year friends! Are you ready for 2023? I have been looking forward to beginning this year with an unusual degree of anticipation 🥳🤪😍!
Young Living January order gifts with purchase (ha ha!….. I just accidentally typed “gift with purpose”….. that too! 😉) are helpful self care items. Perhaps a little more focused self care is on your “to do” list for 2023?
🎉10 Loyalty Reward points for orders over 100PV with a Loyalty Reward Order. (Ya’ll…… if you like to save money and you aren’t on Loyalty Rewards, you are totally missing out on an opportunity! This is on top of the points you’ll already be getting simply for placing a Loyalty Rewards order.
Example: When I buy NingXia Red and Life 9 every month, I’ve spent $115.25. However…. with Loyalty Rewards, I get 25% back (10% back for the first 3 months, 20% back for months 4 thru 24, and 25% back thereafter….. LOYALTY pays 💰💰💰! ).
In addition to that 28.81 in points I’m getting back, I’ll also get an additional 10 points back. That means this: I didn’t spend $115.25 on NingXia Red and Life 9. I spent $76.44 which is a very affordable insurance policy on Charlie James and my health 😉.
🎉 Lavender is truly the Swiss Army Knife of oils. If you don’t know which oil to use, try lavender! Truly. It’s an oil that has 1001 uses. I personally use it for sleep, wound support, as an ingredient in my all purpose nasal spray and face serum, as an ingredient in the “LLPC” capsules or diffuser blend many of us use for “anti” allergy support. A little goes a long way, but even so, we probably go thru 4+ bottles a year. Just like my pocket knife, I don’t go far without a little lavender on hand!
🎉 The Satin Facial Scrub is a gentle minty exfoliant for your face (or arms and neck too!). This time of year can be hard on skin, so a little extra pampering would be helpful! YL makes all of its products with a purpose all the way down to the seemingly most insignificant ingredient. Have you done a little digging on the benefits of apricot seed powder? It is rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A & E both of which help to nourish and moisturize skin. (They actually do quite a bit more, and I’ll leave the investigating up to you 😉)
🎉 I do quite a bit of lab work analysis as part of my health coaching/mentoring world. It’s ceased to be shocking to me how many people are Vitamin D deficient, because it’s so very common. We tend to think of Vitamin D and its relationship to bone health, but did you know that lower levels of Vitamin D affect insulin production, immune system function, mood, cardiovascular health, and about 400 other things in the body? Seasonal Affective Disorder is a huge problem for many people this time of year, and two major helpers for circumventing “SAD” are light therapy and Vitamin D. I suggest everyone get their Vitamin D levels checked annually (I’m even seeing teenagers with low levels😬) and be proactive! It usually takes several months to get Vitamin D levels back up to optimal levels ( 60-90ng/ml). Super Vitamin D is an excellent source for many people when taken regularly (Adults who are very low in D will need a higher strength. Feel free to message me about this if you have questions! ), and it’s another gift this month!
🎉“God grant me the wisdom to change the things I can change in 2023, and the wisdom to accept the things that I cannot.” A bottle of Acceptance essential oil isn’t magical and by itself, it won’t make that above phrase come to pass (especially if you don’t open the bottle 😉). There is science 🤓 behind this blend (as always with YL…. they don’t create products “just because”) , and the effects certain oils have on the body support the brain and neurotransmitters in ways that support healthy thought/action patterns. (Maybe that means embracing change instead of fighting it or maybe it means living with a new kind of normal in a harmonious way). The beginning of every year, every month, every week, every day, and even every moment is an opportunity to think and do in a way that inspires a beautiful and productive life. God really does desire that we be the best version of ourselves!
Acceptance is a light, fresh smelling essential oil blend I think you’ll find pleasant and uplifting.
I’m praying each one of you looks forward with anticipation to all 2023 will bring us. Imagine what the world would be like if we all used our gifts, talents, and treasures in the fullest potential!

Young Living Free Gifts December 2022

Liz James · December 1, 2022 ·

Happy December YL Framily! Great freebies this month for our personal use (or for gifts or stocking🧦 stuffers!)
I’m praying ya’ll are well familiar with all of these very common YL products because I’m going to share my personal useage on each of these and I hope you’ll chime in the comments with yours too so we can help each other out. I always learn a little something when other people share their stories with me. 🥰
Thieves bar soap AND wipes! I keep a package of the wipes in my truck at all times. Don’t forget that Thieves are no ordinary wipes. Not only do they clean up germy surfaces and messes quite well, they have immune supportive properties we receive in the process of using them. I tuck them in my suitcase for ease of use when traveling (no worries about liquid limits if flying ✈️. )
 
The Thieves bar soap is interesting and I’m only going to speak for myself here (you do you 😉), but I’ve used all manner of Thieves for keeping myself healthy and well for almost 10 years now. Here’s my personal longstanding tip: It doesn’t happen often, but (surprise surprise 😬🙄) wounds are a fairly regular occurrence out here on the farm, both for humans and animals. I’ve used Thieves cleaning products for years as wound care (like i said…. you do you…. I’m just telling you my story) with fantastic results. ( I’ve also switched over 100% to using Thieves Aromabright toothpaste …. a little pea sized amount totally takes amazing care of my pits while providing another avenue of immune support to those tender lymph nodes so close to “the ladies”. I would imagine that Thieves bar soap on the entire body would be especially beneficial to stinky all over body odor…. anyone with teen boys may thank me later for these tips! Remember, bacteria is generally a large reason for the stank! 🥴) I’ve also used Thieves bar soap as a pre-laundry application on some gnarly clothing stains.
 
En-R-Gee is such an interesting oil blend. In my early oiling days, I didn’t quite understand how oils like Rosemary increased focus, how Nutmeg supported healthy adrenal gland function, or Black Pepper enhanced energy, but then I began reading scientific studies (Pubmed.gov and other sites), and it all made sense! God really did give us all we need in the Garden! I use this beauty when I need to get things done or when I’m driving long distances and I’ve started to lose the pep in my step! Diffuse or apply topically (I personally apply to the adrenals). This (along with Zyng, NingXia Nitro, peppermint in my water and other “clean” energy alternatives) helps me get to my goals. Ya’ll…… the world has GOT to get away from those dangerous energy drinks. I had yet another health coaching opportunity with a family who now has a member with a heart arrythmia their doctor directly attributed to over consumption of those dang Monster☠️ drinks. Don’t wait to be forced to make changes in your life because of a health scare. It’s not a fun place to be.
 
I’ve been using the Super C chewables like they are going out of style for a couple of years now because they are so healthy and immune supportive (and tasty!!!). This month’s freebie is the non-chewable tablet. April Pointer and I had a discussion about the tablets. After doing some digging several years ago, I found out that Ascorbic Acid is usually synthetic Vit C made from GMO’d corn.🤮🫣. YUCK. April had the same questions I did, and she has asked the hard questions…… “where does the YL Super C tablet’s Ascorbic Acid (Vit C) come from?” Young Living knows the dangers and they’ve got our backs!… no GMO’d corn for us. It’s made from fermented foods of the healthy variety ❤️. The added bioflavanoids enhance the Vit C’s activity in the body.
 
I use Super C like it’s going out of style because:
#1. I know YL gives us the best of the best, so I know it’s both SAFE and EFFECTIVE. Remember, the body is much more fond of natural than it is synthetic!
#2. I personally follow most of the FLCCC protocol for maintaining health and wellness and they reccommend 500-1000mg of Vit C daily as part of their protocol. (If you’d like more info about their protocol, look up their website, and message me for info on how I have personally tweaked it to make it “cleaner”. There are a few things I don’t want in or on my body because of their chemical components.
 
Each night, I have my oily bedtime routine. It takes less than a minute. Two of the oils I use with regularity (I alternate) are Valor and Peace & Calming. I know they are both calming to my system before bedtime. I need that….. because my mind is often on overdrive. Unfortunately, I also tend to grit my teeth when I sleep. Back in the day (ie: pre YL), I would grit my teeth so hard that I broke a few teeth WHILE I WAS SLEEPING! 😭I’m not a grinder…. I’m a gritter. Fancy that. Anyway, I now wear a nightguard at night to prevent any more teeth breaking but I still used to wake up every.single.morning. with a terrible headache……….. UNTIL I MET VALOR 😍 (which I apply on my jawline). I use all the things to help my body relax at night. Sleep is sooooooo important (and so are my teeth!). If you don’t sleep well (I DO sleep very very well…. but that’s after a long stint in my pre-YL life of NOT sleeping deeply enough to even dream). USE YOUR TOOLS….. And they are free this month! )
 
Peace and Calming and Valor both are used by so many people for so many ways! I would LOVE to hear your success stories. These two are among the top “10 beloved YL Hall of Famers ” for the emotional and physical support impact they have had on humans and pets alike.
 
Enjoy your day, and remember that the Holiday season is best enjoyed in a state of “Peace and Calming”!
xoxo~ liz
