I'm Obsessed with ORAC - Should You Be Too?

I'm Obsessed with ORAC - Should You Be Too?

I admit I am obsessed with ORAC values & with a few YL products that offer plenty of it. One of them which is hands down my FAVE is the Longevity Essential oil blend! The reason being it is a very powerful antioxidant support blend which helps to neutralize free radicals with the help of its super-high ORAC value of 1,500,000 µTE/100g. That is greater than any food or single essential oil that has been recorded! (Wild blueberries have an ORAC value of 9,621, while regular blueberries only have an ORAC of 4,669!)

So what's so special about ORAC?

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. ORAC tells you the antioxidant capacity of a food item. Most of us think that berries such as blueberries and strawberries have high antioxidant values; however, most essential oils knock the food values out of the ballpark! Longevity blend by well over 1 million. Wolfberries are a close one with their ORAC value at over 30,000 - the highest antioxidant food out there!



So why should we care about ORAC and antioxidants in particular ? - because they are wellness-promoting & ANTI AGING...& there is nothing wrong with aging well! We do know that the oxidative stress or free radical theory is based on the fact that continued oxidative stress to cells, receptors, & DNA in the body cause aging; beyond the normal aging process. The good news is one of the best ways we can decrease the amount of oxidative stress is by increasing our uptake of Antioxidants.


So while you're thinking of what to add to your Young Living wellness shopping basket why not consider a bottle of YL's Longevity 😉 Made with Clove, Myrrh & Frankincense it is a very powerful antioxidant support oil blend that helps to neutralize free radicals, strengthen memory, support great looking skin, immune system, & more. Once you have it just add a drop or two to a capsule, your almond milk, tea, or water & intake it daily! And remember that it is never too late to add more Omega fats to your daily routine. Whatever your diet looks like — I strongly encourage you to find a way to sneak more omega-3 into your meals, or better yet, grab yourself some easy-to-take OmegaGize 3! Have you ever realized how much Omega 3 fats are beneficial to our bodies? In one particular study that was done over the span of 50 years, researchers & scientists analyzed blood & overall health markers of 2,000 residents that were 65+ years old. They looked particularly at their omega fat levels, & compared things like cardiovascular risk factors, overall health, and longevity. 

The findings? Take a look:

- Omega 3 fats are super helpful to our heart health & longevity.

- Upping your Omega 3 consumption can have life-changing impacts on your health.

Besides making colorful changes to your diet, add YL's OmegaGize 3 to your daily supplement routine! it combines the power of three core daily supplements: omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3, and CoQ10 (ubiquinone). Not only is this great for your overall health, but you'll find that it's beneficial to your cardiovascular & skeletal systems, brain health, Anti-Aging & so much much!

The good news is that despite the plethora of modern-day health concerns, many of the solutions to our wellbeing rests in our hands—specifically, in what we fill our bodies with. The colorful Foods and Essential oils that exist in nature are simply the most powerful things we can add to our plates & cups, Wolfberries anyone? This super fruit is a tasty superfood that can be easily incorporated into your healthy snacking, your recipes & yummy drinks! I add a package of it every couple of months in my Subscribe to Save basket & love taking it with me when going to the beach, hiking, or skiing!


Cheers to supporting your health AND Longevity👏🏼

Happy Post Convention Mail - OPEN A.S.A.P...!











Today is no Ordinary Day! Not only can you grab all the new goodies from Convention, but YL also has a SALE on top of it!! 
There's a 10%-25% discount on products in several YL lines going through the end of the month... while supplies last! So what's discounted? Take a look👇🏼



Convention & sale products are live - so if there is something that you've been eyeing up, I highly recommend you jump on now to get what you want before it's gone. If you jump on your VO & there's a queue, just keep the page open until it's your turn. This is the best way YL can make sure that we don't break the internet😉

Who's excited that YL gave us a Luscious Lemon EO blend?! I know I am! Here are some fun DIY recipes that you can use with this essential oil.


Another new product that I wanted to share with you real quick - and am also stoked for - is Golden Turmeric!!! I know many, including myself,  have been hoping and waiting for YL to offer us a high-quality turmeric supplement. & now it's finally here👏🏼



FYI: It tastes like Mango with a hint of rose, so if you've been turned off by the taste of Turmeric in the past, it's time to try it again with even more benefits!

Young Living did not disappoint with all the new... and improved... products that they released for this year's Convention! Let me know which are you most excited about?

Deets and Tips for all the April Freebies!

Fantastic Freebies for the month of April 2021

Thieves 15-ml (300 PV tier)


Thieves blend is such a big part of our everyday lives, sometimes we forget just how amazing it is. It's the blend that's behind the entire Thieves line of products (household cleaner, hand sanitizer, laundry soap, and so much more), but it's also a comforting aroma, a cleansing powerhouse, and a perfect compliment to living a healthy, wellness driven lifestyle. Check out a couple of unique tips from YL below on some new ways to incorporate Thieves.
• Shine up the stove. Add a few drops of Thieves to a cupful of water and inhale the warm, spicy scent as you wipe away stovetop messes without worrying about what’s in your cleaning solution.
• Clear the air. Use Thieves to create a spicy-scented DIY cleaning fizzy that will make cleaning toilets more pleasant.

Bergamot 5-ml (300 PV tier)

This is a radiant smile in a bottle. Bergamot is big on helping improve moods and balance those days that need balancing. If you're looking to keep a smile on your family's faces as much as possible while the deep cleaning and springtime prep happens, definitely include a few drops of Bergamot in your diffuser blends.
• Get your shine on. Use a drop of Bergamot on a washcloth for maximum shine as you scrub down bathroom and kitchen faucets.
• Let it go. Diffuse Bergamot for a citrusy scent as you tuck winter-only pieces away to make room in your closet for warm-weather favorites.

Grapefruit 15-ml (250 PV tier)**


People love Grapefruit but it still doesn't get talked about as much as it probably should. Similar to Bergamot, this bright, fresh aroma lights up a room with good vibes and feelings and helps invigorate the air around us. Plus, its nighttime skincare qualities cannot be overlooked. Did you know it's a key ingredient in Young Living's Cel-Lite Magic massage oil? :) 
• Add cheer to your chores. Combine 10 drops of Grapefruit with 6 ounces of water, 2 ounces of witch hazel, and 9 drops of Lemon in a glass spray bottle for a linen spray that gives a playful kick of scent to bath towels and rugs.
• Feel like royalty. Combine Grapefruit with a salt body scrub for a home spa experience that will have you feeling as fresh as a daisy just in time for spring.

Jade Lemon 5-ml (250 PV tier)
Jade Lemon has such a deliciously unique aroma! If you aren't familiar with Jade Lemon and aren't diffusing this with a little Spearmint or by itself, you are missing out big time. I really like the dishwasher tip below as well!
• Dish it out. Combine 3 drops of Jade Lemon with half a capful of Thieves Household Cleaner and 1 cup of white vinegar in the bottom of your dishwasher and run a cycle without soap or dishes whenever your machine smells musty.
• Soak up the sunshine. Diffuse Jade Lemon for an uplifting aroma as you take a break from your hard work to appreciate the beautiful spring weather.

Tangerine 15-ml (190 PV tier)

With a slightly sweeter smell than some citrus oils, Tangerine is a great mood balancing and brightening addition to your diffuser blend routines! Take a whiff and then open a bottle of Citrus Fresh and see if you can spot the notes of Tangerine in that wonderful blend.
• Fake it till you make it. Don’t have time to clean? Keep a few drops of Tangerine in a 6-ounce spray bottle filled with water at the ready. Its bright scent will help any room feel spruced up in a flash.
• Let in the light. Diffuse Tangerine while you dust blinds, wash windows, and wipe down sills to get ready for days of fresh air and gentle breezes.

Citrus Fresh 15-ml (Bonus Essential Rewards 190 PV tier)



Citrus Fresh is a must-have for all who love to wake up to absolute joy in their morning diffuser blends. Being a blend itself, 5-6 drops by itself are perfect in the diffuser, can also try adding a drop or two of Peppermint with it in the diffuser for a bit more freshness. Give it a try! 
• Outwit unwanted odors. Add a few drops of Citrus Fresh to cotton balls and tuck them into sock drawers, the bottoms of trash cans, and shoe closets for a spring-approved aroma.
• Defeat the dish pile. Add 4 drops of Citrus Fresh to Thieves Dish Soap for an extra burst of scent, plus the added bonus of citrus oil that can help cut grease from dirty dishes.

Peppermint 15-ml (Bonus Essential Rewards 190 PV tier)



See what I did there? ;) Along with blending well with Citrus Fresh and other citrus oils in the diffuser, Peppermint is a must-have during springtime. Since you got Lavender for free last month and you'll get Peppermint for free this month, add a bottle of Lemon to your order and you've got the ingredients for one of the most popular seasonal wellness trios out there! Plus, Peppermint is a burst of freshness that always compliments spring well!
• Pep up the kitchen. Put 1 drop of Peppermint on a damp cloth and wipe down counters so your kitchen smells as welcoming as a clear blue sky after a spring storm.
• Cheer up as you clean up. Tired of fighting the mess in your laundry room? 
Diffuse Peppermint for a peppy, pick-me-up scent that’s just what you need to finish.

As a reminder, with all the citrus oils, they are photosensitive, so wearing them topically out in the sun is not recommended. Incorporating them into your nighttime skin routine? Very recommended. 


Be sure to share your best springtime diffuser blend, spring cleaning tip, or a new way to use these oils with me, and remember to spread the word about these amazing promos!
