  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp organic dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup apple cider vingar
  • 2-3 drops Orange, Lemon, or Citrus Fresh Vitality
  • 1-2 tbsp honey or another sweetener to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste
    Mix all ingredients well with a whisk and use as desired. Shake gently before use.
Soak up the last bit of summer with this Orange-infused Yogurt Dip for your organic berries. (Recipe adapted from Lauren Dunamway):
  • 6 oz blackberries
  • 6 oz raspberries
  • 2 pints blueberres
  • 2 lb strawberries
  • 6 oz vanilla yogurt (or plain)
  • 6 drops Orange Vitality
    Mix yogurt and Orange Vitality and use as a dip for the fruit or mix the fruit in the yogurt and refrigerate for an hour to chill, then enjoy.
Add a drop of Orange Vitality directly to your Thieves toothpaste for an extra bust. Orange and Orange Vitality essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, making it alkaline and not acidic. You can also add Orange Vitality to your Thieves mouthwash.

Orange Vitality is the exact same oil as Orange essential oil, simply labeled differently so it can be ingested. That means you can use Orange Vitality the same way you would Orange essential oil - in the diffuser and in all your favorite roller blends as well.

CBD Beauty Boost Spotlight - Jan 2023

CBD Beauty Boost Spotlight

Looking for a way to elevate your everyday skincare routine? Wanting to give your skin some TLC without the price tag of the spa? 

Say hello to the ultimate in daily luxury - CBD Beauty Boost! Pure CBD + rose essential oil = luxe!! This combo is amazing for an even skin tone and reducing fine lines and wrinkles and feels so incredible on your skin.

Why We Love CBD Beauty Boost

  • Infused with rose essential oil
  • Helps calm and soothe skin 
  • Moisturizes skin
  • Helps reduce the appearance of redness, fine lines, and wrinkles
  • Boosts skin's natural glow
  • Ideal for all skin types
  • Meets Young Living's Seed to Seal quality standards
Love Your Skin

Your skin is your largest organ, and the state of your skin can tell you a lot about your body's needs. Your skin is exposed to everything the day brings - heat, cold, sun, wind, environmental toxins, household toxins, and more. So we need to do everything we can to show our skin (and our bodies!) some TLC.

Sadly conventional products are chock full of synthetic ingredients that wreak havoc on the body, especially over time, disrupting hormones, causing allergies (often low-level so we barely notice!), and filling our systems with chemicals that cause damage over time. Switching from conventional, chemical-laden beauty products is a great, simple step in the right direction!

Young Living products contain NO synthetic ingredients. NO hormone disruptors. NO artificial colorings. And you can bet that every ingredient used is of the highest quality. 

Nature's Ultra CBD products are crafted using a blend of high-quality CBD isolate and Young Living essential oils. These world-class ingredients combine to form Young Living's exclusive Smart Spectrum CBD. CBD Beauty Boost contains a combination of pure, potent CBD, tamanu oil, grapeseed oil, and rose essential oil for a truly luxurious experience! In fact, it's so luxurious that each dropper of CBD Beauty Boost contains the essential oils from one full Damask rose. 

This blend of CBD, rose essential oil, tamanu oil, and grapeseed oil works to maintain an even skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Just one daily dropper of this Smart Spectrum blend will moisturize your skin and promote a youthful glow. Nature's Ultra CBD Beauty Boost is ideal for all skin types, so no matter what your needs are, CBD Beauty Boost can help!

Key Ingredients

  • CBD - Pure, potent CBD with 0.0% THC
  • Rose Essential Oil - Beautiful, luxurious floral oil that beautifies, soothes, and moisturizes the skin to promote a youthful appearance
  • Tamanu Oil - Smooth, nutty oil rich in fatty acids to improve the appearance of the skin and promote an even skin tone
  • Grapeseed Oil: Oil rich in omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants to absorb quickly without leaving the skin feeling oily
To Use

Add 1-2 droppers to your hand and apply evenly to your face, neck, chest, or anywhere you could use a moisturizing boost! For best results, shake well before using and mix with your favorite Young Living beauty products. Make a DIY Beauty Serum like the one below and use morning and evening! 

DIY Glow Up Serum

This is the ultimate in skincare and rivals any of the high-end beauty serums and products, yet it is completely plant-based and natural!

  • 20 drops Frankincense, Myrrh
  • 10 drops Blue Tansy
  • Optional - 10 drops Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood (for dry skin)
  • Optional - 5 drops Lavender (for oily skin)
  • 5 droppersful CBD Beauty Boost
  • Carrier oil of choice (jojoba oil for normal to mixed skin, argan oil for dry skin, hazelnut oil for oily skin.)
Join us this month as we turn our focus inward to nourish ourselves and families, and create a solid foundation of self-care and nourishing rhythms for the year to come. Want to try CBD Beauty Boost, but don't know where to start, click here to get started.

Holiday Spice Wool Dryer Balls
There's something about the smell of warm fresh laundry fresh from the dryer - especially when combining Thieves Laundry Soap and essential oil infused wool dryer balls! 
  • Organic wool dryer balls
  • Essential oils of choice - Christmas Spirit, Peppermint + Vanilla, Cinnamon Bark + Orange, Stress Away + Peppermint, Cardamom & Orange
    Step 1 - Add 4-5 drops of essential oils to each dryer ball.
    Step 2 - Let the dryer balls air dry for about an hour or to speed up the process you can dry them alone. This will allow the oil to absorb into the wool and not transfer to your clothes. Even better, add oils to the wool balls after you empty dry clothes from the dryer so you're all set for the next load.
    Step 3 - When it's time to dry your clothes - toss the dryer balls into the dryer with your clothing. Refresh the oils every 4-5 loads or more often if you prefer a stronger scent.

This simple holiday hack will give your family and friends (and your post carrier!) an instant jolt of goodness retrieving your cards from the mail!

  • Your favorite essential oils! We recommend Christmas Spirit, Joy, Peppermint, Cinnamon Bark, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Orange or any combination!
  • Place a few drops of oil on a cotton ball or pad, oil side down in a zip lock bag. Add your cards to the bag and zip closed overnight. Mail as usual!
DIY Oil Infused Bottle Brush Trees
Give your bottle brush trees a little something extra this year - infuse them with festive essential oils!
  • Large pitcher or jar (big enough for your trees)
  • Distilled water
  • Witch hazel 
  • Oils of your choice! We love Believe, Christmas Spirit, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Winter Nights, Orange or Pine
  • Bottle brush trees 
  • Fill the jar or pitcher almost full of water and add a splash of witch hazel. Add about 20-30 drops of oil and stir with a silicone or metal spoon. Hold your tree upside down for about a minute in the water, then take it out and let it air dry! 
Spiced Orange & Cranberry Garland
This is one of our favorite things to do every year. It is beautiful, smells amazing, adds a festive touch to any room and is so easy to make!
  • About 5 oranges or a mix of oranges, clementines and grapefruit for varied sizes and colors
  • Essential oils: Christmas Spirit, Cinnamon Bark, Vanilla, Clove, Believe, Thieves
  • Fresh cranberries and cinnamon sticks
    Step 1 - Slice your oranges in circles to ¼ to ½ inch in thickness and arrange them on a non-stick surface or parchment paper. Pour 2-3 drops of essential oils on each slice, then set them in a cool oven and turn the temperature onto the lowest setting your oven will allow. (If your oven does not go below 300, set it there and use a wooden spoon to prop the oven open slightly and allow some heat to dissipate.)
    Step 2 - Leave the slices in the oven for about 5 hours, then shut the oven off and leave the oranges in there overnight or until completely cool. They will be fairly dry, but will continue to dry out over time. You don't want to over dry them in the oven because they can start to burn!
    Alternatively, you can use a dehydrator, if you have one.
    Step 3 - Once they are dry, string them with some twine, alternating with a few varying sized slices and a cranberry or two, a tied cinnamon stick, whatever you like! Hang them in your home for some delicious smelling holiday cheer!

Peppermint Brownies 

This might be the simplest essential oil recipe ever... Just add 4-5 drops of Peppermint Vitality Essential Oil to your mix (or from scratch recipe!) after you add the wet ingredients and bake as directed. Once cooled - use your favorite holiday cookie cutters to create fun shapes. Optional to top with a layer of chocolate frosting (with or without a few drops of Peppermint Vitality) or powdered sugar. These are fun to make for parties, neighbors or just because!

    Step 2 - Remove from the heat and when slightly cooled add 2 drops of Peppermint Vitality (the flavor is bold, so start with 2 drops and add more if you want!) Place the peppermint cocoa mixture and the coffee in a Vitamix or other high-powered blender (or use a handheld frother), and blend on medium speed for 30 seconds until frothy. Divide into 4 mugs, top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or both!

    Step 2 - This serves one, so you can double or triple if you need to, top with a sprinkle of Ground Cinnamon and enjoy! You could easily make this with coffee and can add sweetener to taste like honey or maple syrup if you want.
Homemade Hot Cocoa
'Tis the season for Jack Frost nipping at your nose! Wind down and warm up with your favorite mug brimming with homemade hot chocolate. You can add any Vitality oil to your recipe, but these three are our favorites - Pumpkin Spice Hot Cocoa, Lavender Hot Cocoa, and Peppermint Hot Cocoa!

Simple Crafts for the Holidays

Whether your kiddos are coming out of school for a few weeks or you just want some simple, fun activities for the season, here are some of our favorite festive crafts to do together this season!

Clay Leaf Dish
This simple craft gets everyone outdoors and can even be a school project with just a little imagination! It makes a lovely oil tray or a handmade gift.
  • Air dry clay 
  • Craft paper 
  • Rolling pin
  • Craft paint (we like the metallic colors!) + brushes
  • Modge Podge gloss or other sealer 
  • Various leaves from your yard
    Step 1 - Cut out a piece of air dry clay, then roll it out onto craft paper to about 1/2 inch thick, making sure your leaf will fit. Then, press your leaf (vein side down) onto the clay. Remove the leaf from the clay, and cut around the outline with a knife, then remove the excess clay from around your imprint.
    Step 2 - Go around the perimeter of the leaf and gently press the sides up and in to create a small edge. Allow the clay to air dry and harden on a baking rack for 24 hours.
    Step 3 - Paint! Once the paint is dry, cover with a coat of Modge Podge gloss, then dry for 24 hours. After the sealer is dry, have your children sign the back and write the year. 
Essential Oil Infused Play Dough
This is a fun one to get your children to make with you OR to make and surprise them with after school!
  • 2 cups flour (can use gluten-free if desired)
  • 1 cup salt
  • 2 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 Tbsp olive or coconut oil
  • 2 cups cold water
  • 5 drops essential oil: Lavender, Peace & Calming, Tangerine, Believe 
  • Natural food coloring, optional
    Step 1 - Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, oil, and water in a medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the dough has reached the right consistency.
    Step 2 - Let cool, split into 3 balls, and knead in essential oils and optional food coloring until it is distributed evenly throughout each ball of playdough. Store in airtight container.
We hope you enjoy this Holiday Handbook. Bring the family together and try some of these projects! May your days be merry & bright!

Daily Red (NingXia Red, that is!)
If there were only one habit that you can start or continue during the summer, a daily dose of NingXia Red would be it. This delicious supplement is a powerhouse of antioxidants and nutrients that we want for everyone in the family. Check out the NingXia Red Spotlight blog post for more on this incredible supplement.

Wellness Roller
This bend is something we use year round to help keep our immune systems on the go! We roll this blend over the lymph nodes, on the feet, or along the spine morning and evening year round, then us it more frequently as needed. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
  • 25 drops each Thieves, Pine & Lemon
  • 20 drops each Geranium & Frankincense
  • fill with a carrier oil of choice
    Note: If you plan to be in direct sunlight, apply this somewhere your clothing will cover.
Diffusing 24/7
If we are awake (and even overnight too), our diffuser is on . Diffusing is such an incredible health habit. Not only will your home or office (and car too) smell amazing, you get the health benefits of breathing in the oils.

  • Start the morning off with Raven + Lemon to get everyone going and support the airways
  • Set the stage for a peaceful midday rest with Lavender + Grapefruit + Vanilla.
  • Bring the 'afternoon pick-me-up' vibes of a cup of coffee with Peppermint + Tangerine + Stress Away.
  • End your day with Thieves + Cedarwood to boost immunity and promote restful sleep.
Ditching and Switching
One of the biggest impacts you can have on your health is by ditching conventional products that are FULL of toxins and fragrance. Sadly these ingredients are often hidden or disguised by clever marking (greenwashing anyone?) or renamed as things that sound more natural. Here are a few simple swaps to make this summer.

Wellness Bonus - Raindrop Oral Spray

Sometimes our defenses need a little extra boost, and this combinational of oils is our go-to when we need something a little 'more.' This is a great one to have on hand when traveling. To a 10 mL glass spray bottle, add:

Fun in the Sun

'Tis the season for hot, sunshine-filled days, and we want to soak in every second of it while staying safe and health. Here are our top three necessities for safe, healthy fun in the sun.


Hands-down, the Young Living Mineral Sunscreen is our favorite sunscreen. It checks all of our boxes - reef safe, effective, all natural, great for all skin types, non-nano zinc, won't clog pores. What else is there?

Quick Tip - Make YL's Mineral Sunscreen application easy with this hack! Makes it even easier to apply, especially with kids by adding some to your hands and apply to the face.


LavaDerm After Sun Spray is your first aid kit BFF! LavaDerm brings relief from the pain and itching of minor burns, cuts, sunburns, scrapes, insect bites, or really any minor skin irritation. Whether or not your skin has seen a little too much sun or wind, this spray will help you feel soothed and refreshed. Apply after a day outdoors for a sigh of relief.

Quick Tip - If you need some relief ASAP and don't have any LavaDerm on hand, try this DIY After Sun Spray:

No one wants to come in from a wonderful day outdoors with tons of itchy bites from outdoor pests... and you won't have to with the Young Living Insect Repellent! This liquid formula effectively prevents mosquito, flea, and tick bits - so you can enjoy the great outdoors worry free.

This incredible formula is gentle enough for the little ones, yet effective. You can use an empty Thieves Surface Spray bottle for easy applications. It is also available as wipes, with makes application on the go super easy!

Grab the Insect Repellent bottle and make it into a spray for easy use:
  • Continuous spray bottle
  • Bottle of YL Insect Repellent
  • 3 tbsp fractioned coconut oil or ClaraDerm Spray
  • 20 drops Citronella essential oil
    Add all items to the spray bottle, but add the insect repellent last (it will not all fit!)
Quick Tip - If you live in a state that has shipping exclusions for the Insect Repellant, try the wipes! Still can't order because of limitations - add a spray top directly to your bottle of Citronella. Also try this DIY Outdoor Spray. To a small continuous spray bottle, add:
  • 25 drops each Citronella, Geranium, Lemongrass, & Lavender
  • 20 drops Eucalyptus Radiata & Tea Tree
  • V-6 Vegetable Oil or carrier of choice
    Note: if you want to use a larger bottle, simply double the recipe. Also, if you feel you need a stronger formula or are expertly susceptible to outdoor pests, add more Citronella, Lemongrass and/or Geranium.
Photosensitive Oils


Summer and citrus oils are synonymous, and we are all about using citrus oils this time of year. As always, we want to keep everyone healthy and safe, so make sure to separate application of citrus oils and exposure to sunlight. As a general rule, avoid direct UV exposure to an area where you applied citrus oils for a minimum of 12 hours, up to 48 hours.

WHY?
Citrus Oils (and some others) contain natural molecules that react with sunlight and cause sensitivity to the skin. All of the Young Living oils and blends that contain these compounds re labeled with a warming to avoid sun/UV light for 12 to 48 hours after applying.

Does that mean you have to put your beloved Grapefruit and Bergamot away for the summer? NO WAY! Just apply to areas that won't be exposed to the sun for at least 24 hours (basically under your clothes). And you can always diffuse.
Beach Essentials

Summertime and beach trips are synonymous, and we are ready for all the sunshine and sand. Here's what we're packing in our beach bags this year.

Quick tip - Easily remove all the sand from everyone's feet, legs, and hands with Seedlings Baby Wipes. We keep a pack in every bag for easy sand removal and clean, fresh hands.
NingXia Red Recipes

Daily Red is a thing in our household - everyone gets their NingXia Red every day! And whether we just want to mix thing up a bit or want a healthier alternative to conventional options, these NingXia Red recipes are favorites in our summer rotation.

Superfood Lemonade Popicles

These simple, delicious popsicles are a HUGE hit in our house, and my kids love to help make them. The best part is you can't mess them up. There isn't a specific amount of each ingredient needed, so just pour a little of each item into your mold and go.
Quick Tip - Heading out to the pool, beach or a hike? Simply freeze your NingXia packets overnight, then pack in a plastic bag and enjoy that afternoon as a cool, slushy-like treat.

Anytime NingXia Spritzers

Whether you're pool side, riding in the car or simply lounging on your couch or porch, this spritzer is the perfect companion. But be warned, your kids/friends/husband will want to setal it.
Go Red Electrolyte Replacement

Ditch the artificially flavored and colored electrolyte drinks and whip up your own with this simple recipe. You can also always grab the Lavender Lemonade or Grapefruit Bergamot Vitality Drops for a quick electrolyte boost as well.
  • 1 cup coconut water
  • 4 oz NingXia Red
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/8 tsp pink Himalayan sea salt
  • 1-2 drops Young Living Vitality of choice: Tangerine, Orange, Lime, Citrus Fresh or Grapefruit
  • 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    Mix all ingredients in a blender with some ice for one of the most refreshing drinks EVER. You could even do this without a blender - just throw everything in a shaker cup and enjoy.
Summertime Self Care

DIY Summer Glow Serum

Ditch all the other moisturizers and serums because this one is the game-changer. Apply pouring and evening for healthy, glowing skin. (PS - CBD Beauty Boost has been nicknamed 'Botox in a Bottle,' so you know it's good!) To a 2 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
DIY Vitamin C Facial Toner

Vitamin C and Geranium are a dynamic duo when it comes to brightening the skin. Try out this simple toner as we head into the summer. To a 2 oz glass dropper bottle, add:
  • 1.5 tsp organic Vitamin C powder
  • 5 drops Geranium essential oil
  • 3 tbsp distilled water
  • splash of alcohol-free witch hazel (optional for more oil-prone skin)
    Mix Vitamin C powder into the water until dissolved, then add Geranium and top with a splash of witch hazel (optional). Use morning and evening as desired. Store up to 2 weeks at room temperature or longer in the fridge.
Moisturizing Oatmeal Soak

Sun and wind and heat can leave the skin needing a little extra moisture. Give your skin (and your whole self!) some TLC with a long, luxurious soak with these simple but effective ingredients.
Summer Blockbuster Diffuser Blends

Summertime movies on the lawn anyone? These blends are reminiscent of warm nights in the grass watching our favorite movies with our favorite people.

Sweet Magnolias - 4 drops Orange + 3 drops Vanilla + 3 drops Grapefruit + 2 drops Lime
Emily in Paris - 4 drops Jasmine + 3 drops Tangerine + 3 drops Ylang Ylang + 2 drops Lime
Yellowstone - 4 drops Northern Lights Black Spruce + 3 drops Bergamot + 3 drops Vanilla + 2 drops Clove
Grease - 4 drops Stress Away + 3 drops Neroli or Orange + 4 drops Jasmine
The Sandlot - 5 drops KidPower (or Valor + Vanilla) + 3 drops Ylang Ylang + 3 drops Lavender
Mama Mia - 4 drops Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood (or Cedarwood) + 3 drops Lime + 3 drops Lemon + 2 drops Tangerine

CBD - Ditch and Switch May 2022


Ditch & Switch

Coping Mechanisms for CBD


As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products and create healthy habits for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we make a simple swap with a big impact. Ditch coping mechanisms that leave you feeling numb and zone out for ones that can support you towards healing.

CBD can be an incredible addition to your health routine when it comes to releasing stress and reducing feelings of anxiety. 

Whether you use it topically, choose to place the drops under your tongue, or use the muscle rub to reduce physical stress, CBD can be a powerful tool for your health! And when you use Nature's Ultra CBD from Young Living, you get the added benefit of essential oils for a 1+1+3 scenario.


Why we Love Nature's Ultra CBD Products

  • Includes the terpenes alpha-pinene, beta-myrcene, limonene, and sabinene
  • Infused with essential oils that further improve the efficacy of the CBD
  • Contains 0.0 % THC
  • Available in CBD Drops, CBD Roll-On, CBD Muscle Rub
If you're ready to ditch coping mechanisms that leave you feeling numb, zoned out, or worse than you did when you started them, reach for the CBD Drops or CBD Roll-on and find a way to physically process the emotions. Don't push them away or stuff them. Allow yourself to feel them, apply the CBD, and move your body to release stored emotions. Walk, swim, jog, dance - just move! This movement paired with CBD can help you process whereas buffering with a coping mechanism cannot.

CBD Calm Roll-On

The Calm CBD Roll-on is infused with essential oils like Lavender, Frankincense, Ylang Ylang, and Vetiver that can help create a peaceful environment, relax and quiet your mind, and wind down before bed. Roll generously onto the neck, chest and wrists as desired.

Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil
  • Contains a high percentage of eucalyptol
  • Helps create a sense of refreshment and renewal
  • Promotes health, well-being and healing
Frankincense essential oil (July 2021 Oil Spotlight)
  • Promotes meditation and relaxation
  • Known for its anointing and healing powers
  • Mentioned in one of the oldest known medical records
Lavender essential oil (June 2021 Oil Spotlight)
  • Calming and relaxing to the body, mind and emotions
  • Reduces mental stress and promotes relaxation
  • One of the few essential oils listed in the British Pharmacopeia
Orange essential oil (May 2022 Oil Spotlight)
  • Creates a sense of peace and harmony
  • Uplifting and relaxing
  • High in limonene
Vetiver essentail oil (May 2022 Oil Spotlight)
  • Used since ancient times for its anti-inflammatory properties
  • Grounding and calming with a woodsy aroma
  • Helps with stress and emotional trauma
  • May be helpful in attention disorders
Ylang Ylang essential oil
  • Uplifting and calming to the mind and body, especially the heart
  • Helps focus the thoughts and filter negativity
  • Can help enhance inner peace and combat anger
CBD & Emotions

Most of us know someone (or are someone) who struggles with mental health issues - most of America does - and even those who don't suffer from long-term emotional issues usually experience occasional symptoms. This is a big issue to unpack, but let's look at the role of CBD in managing emotions.

It's not news to us that our physical well being also has a profound impact on our emotional health. Inflammation, psychological stress and acute or chronic illness can actually cause your brain to shrink. The science-y term for this is 'hippocampal atrophy' and research is showing that CBD has some specific brain-healing properties.

Each of our thoughts creates a physical tract in our brains (neural pathways), and thoughts we visit repeatedly become physically ingrained in our brains. The good news is that it is possible for us to create new pathways, new nerve connections. CBD has specific properties that can help us rewire these tracts, especially when combined with other powerful tools like meditation, counseling and essential oils. 

Product Options

Join us this month as we make a big impact on our health by allowing our full range of emotions, leaving buffers behind and using CBD to help us process!

Vitality Recipes

Add a hint of spring to your favorite dishes with some of these vitality recipes

Lavender Collagen Latte
This latte not only tastes lovely, it can help with those springtime blooms as well. Lavender Vitality is a great choice when the pollen begins to fly

  • 12 cups strongly brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup milk of your choice
  • 1 tbsp organic maple syrup (add more to taste)
  • 1 scoop high quality grass-fed collagen
  • 1 drop Lavender Vitality essential oil
  • Electric milk frother (optional)
Grab your favorite coffee mug and line the bottom with maple syrup, about 1 tablespoon. Pour the brewed coffee on top and stir gently to mix. Add the milk and essential oil to the frother, and wait while it warms. When ready, pour the milk into your coffee, top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a small drizzle of maple syrup or a small sprinkle of raw sugar if desired.

Lemon Herb-Infused Olive Oil
Use these creations to spice up your cooking, dip your warm bread in, or as a finishing touch to salad dressing, roasted meats, or fish.
  • 10 oz olive oil
  • 2 drops Rosemary Vitality essential oil
  • 4 drops Lemon Vitality essential oil
  • 2 drops Basil Vitality essential oil
  • Handful of freshly sliced lemons
  • Handful each of rosemary and basil
Pour the olive oil into a big pot or sauce pan. Keep on low heat until it starts to bubble. Mix in the herbs and let it cook until the heat and let the oil cool. Add the drops of Vitality oil into the mixture.
(Remember, less is more. Vitality oils can be potent, so start with fewer drops and add more for a bolder flavor.) Funnel the mixture into the bottles.

Citrus Vinegar
  • 12 oz white wine vinegar
  • 1 small grapefruit
  • 1 small line
  • 1 small orange
  • Orange Vitality essential oil
  • Lime Vitality essential oil
  • Grapefruit Vitality essential oil
Slice your favorite fruit and put it in a 16-oz bottle or jar. Pour vinegar into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Pour hot vinegar into your bottle or jar over the fruit. Let it stand at room temperature for 8 hours. Add Vitality essential oils. Shake well before using, as oil and vinegar don't mix.

While we don't need a new year to create new habits and set goals, it always feels great to have a clean slate! Here are a few products we are using this month as we rest, refresh and renew with the New Year.

Thieves essential oil - all our wellness needs
CBD Muscle Rub - for sore muscles and joints
Lemon essential oil - for diffusing, cleaning and wellness
Winter Nights essential oil blend - for winter diffusing and DIYs
Pure Protein Complete - for healthy post-workout support
ICP Daily - for daily gut health and wellness

Thieves Essetnail Oil Blend

Thieves is one of Young Living's top selling oils and for good reason. It's a powerhouse blend of Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Lemon, Rosemary, and Eucalyptus Radiata that kills 96% of airborne germs. 

We love diffusing it, applying it topically to our feet (the easiest way is to get some roller balls and  carrier oil), even taking it internally. This blendis a household staple and a must for winter wellness.

Learn more about Thieves in the How to Use December's Gifts post.

CBD Muscle Rub

This is a crowd favorite, for sure! From the mamas chasing kids all day to the dedicated athlete to those wanting relief from arthritis or muscle pain, so many individuals are loving the CBD muscle rub!

Topical CBD diffuses across your skin and reaches local targets, like muscles, inflammatory cells, and pain-perceiving nerves, and using essential oil infused CBD in a muscle rub can help ease the discomfort associated with sore muscles, aches and pain.
Lemon Essential Oil


Versatile, bright and joyful. That's how we would describe this oil! Lemon essential oil benefits skin and hair as much as its aroma enhances your environment and support your mood. This best-selling favorite can be used in so many ways:
  • Mix it with your cleaning products
  • Use it during your nighttime skin care routine
  • Add a drop to your shampoo and conditioner for a great scent
One of the many ways we are using it this month through is for a gentle system reset and as part of our immune wellness routine.

Learn more about Lemon Essential oil in the How to Use September's Gifts with Purchase blog.

Winter Nights Essential Oil Blend

Winter Nights essential oil blend is a winter staple! This combination of Northern Lights Black Spruce, Peppermint, Cedarwood, and Orange is crips and cool and reminiscent of softly falling snow. Winter Nights fills your home with he peace of crisp midnight air in winter, and the warmth of cozy spaces, making it perfect for this time of year.

Read more about this essential oil blend in the January Oil Spotlight blog.
Pure Protein Complete

When it comes to creating new healthy habits, workouts are usually at the top of the list. And we want to give our bodies proper nutrition to support those workouts!

Enter Pure Protein Complete. This proprietary five-protein blend is our favorite for smoothies and workout shakes. These clean ingredients provide 25 grams of protein and a full range of branched-chain amino acids plus B vitamins, essential oils, and a proprietary enzyme complex that include probiotics. These ingredients work together to support ATP production and metabolism, help build lean muscle mass, and support post-workout muscle recovery.

ICP Daily

Heath starts in the gut, so we want to do everything we can to have a happy, healthy belly! And having a healthy gut isn't something just for those with gut disorders. It is for ALL OF US.

Taking daily steps to build, support, detoxify, and balance gut bacteria and intestinal lining is crucial, and one of our favorite, simple ways to do this is with ICP Daily. ICP Daily is a daily prebiotic and fiber drink that is both delicious and easy on the stomach.

Holiday Spice Wool Dryer Balls
There's something about the smell of warm fresh laundry directly from the dryer - especially when combining Thieves Laundry Soap and essential oil infused wool dryer balls.

Add 4-5 drops of essentials to each dryer ball. Essential oils of choice:
  • Christmas Spirit
  • Peppermint + Vanilla
  • Cinnamon Bark + Orange
  • Stress Away + Peppermint
  • Cardamom + Orange
Let the dryer balls air dry for about an hour or to speed up the process you can dry them alone. This will allow the oil to absorb into the wool and not transfer to your clothes. When it's time to dry your clothes, toss the dryer balls into the dryer with your clothing. Refresh the oils every 4-5 loads or more often if you prefer a stronger sent. (Life hack - add essential oils to your dryer balls when you're done with laundry so they are ready for next week!)

Place a few drops of oil on a cotton ball or pad in the zip lock bag. Add your cards to the bag and zip closed overnight.

DIY Oil Infused Bottle Brush Trees
Give your bottle brush trees a little something extra this year - infuse them with festive essential oils.
  • Large pitcher or jar (bit enough for your trees)
  • Distilled water
  • Witch hazel
  • Oils of your choice. We love Believe, Christmas Spirit, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Winter Nights, Orange or Pine
  • Bottle Brush trees
Fill the jar or pitcher almost full of water and add a splash of witch hazel. Add about 20-30 drops of oil and stir with a silicone or metal spoon. Hold your tree upside down for about a minute in the water, then take it out and let it air dry.

Spiced Orange and Cranberry Garland
This is one of our favorite things to do every year. it is beautiful, smells amazing, adds a festive touch to any room and is so easy to make.
  • About 5 oranges or a mix of oranges, clementines and grapefruit for varied sizes and colors.
  • Essential oils - Christmas Spirit, Cinnamon Bark, Vanilla, Clove, Believe, Thieves
  • Fresh cranberries and cinnamon sticks
Slice your oranges in circles to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thickness and arrange them on a non-stick surface or parchment paper. Pour 2-3 drops of essential oils on each slice, then set them in a cool oven and turn the temperature onto the closet setting your oven will allow. (If your oven does not go below 300, et it there and use a wooden spoon to prop the oven open slightly and allow some heat to dissipate.)

Leave the slices in the oven for about 5 hours, then shut the oven off and leave the oranges in overnight or until completely cool. They will be fairly dry, but will continue to dry out over time. You don't want to over dry them in the oven because they can start to burn. If you have a dehydrator, you can use the fruit setting to make the dry the citrus slices.

Once they are dry, string them with some twine, alternating with a few varying sized slices and add a cranberry or two, a tied cinnamon stick - whatever you like. Hang them in your home for some delicious smelling holiday cheer.

This handmade olive wood massaging tool was sustainably crafted by local artisans using olive tree branches in Bethlehem. Use it with the included Eucalyptus Globulus and V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex to pinpoint pressure points and relive tired muscles.

The Holy Land Handicraft Cooperative in Bethlehem provides fair-trade wages and stable employment to those in economically unstable circumstances. But as travel restrictions began to take place in 2020, many artisan groups shut down due to the lack of work.

These orders from Young Living provided much-needed relief in the mist of the economic downturn. Many workshops have reopened, reviving the area and its artisans. Creating and selling unique olive wood products enables these families to stay in their homeland, earn a living, and provide opportunities for their children.
  • Handmade, Artisan Olive wood massaging tool
  • Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil, 15 mL
  • V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex, 2 oz (exclusive size)
