Background

Lavender and vanilla have long been cherished for their soothing and relaxing properties, both in traditional and modern wellness practices. Lavender oil has been used for centuries in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome for its calming fragrance and healing qualities. It was often incorporated into baths, perfumes, and even medical treatments to promote relaxation and reduce anxiety.

Similarly, vanilla carries a warm, sweet aroma that is deeply comforting and emotionally grounding. Though its use became widespread after the 16th century with the rise of global trade, vanilla was considered a sacred and luxurious substance by the Totonac and Aztec civilizations of Mesoamerica. Together, these oils are widely used in aromatherapy today, valued for their natural ability to ease stress, improve sleep quality, and create a sense of calm and emotional balance.

 Key Ingredients

  • Lavender essential oil - Lavender oil, rich in linalool and linalyl acetate, is cherished for its gentle yet powerful calming effects. Widely used to ease stress, support restful sleep, and soothe irritated skin, it blends therapeutic function with a clean, floral aroma. It is a wonderful  and elegant tool for both emotional and physical balance.
  • Vanilla - Vanilla offers a warm, comforting scent that evokes a sense of calm and emotional well-being. Though technically an oleoresin or absolute rather than a true essential oil, it is highly valued in aromatherapy for its ability to ease tension and uplift the spirit. Its antioxidant and soothing properties also make it a luxurious addition to skincare and natural fragrance blends.

Seaside Simplified Spotlight - July 2025

Simplified Seaside Spotlight

Treat your senses to the crisp, luxurious smell of Seaside! Inspired by the salty ocean air and warm summer nights, this blend is a vacation in a bottle. Made with Neroli from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree near the Mediterranean ocean, herbaceous Cypress and Sage, plus citrus notes of Orange and Lime, this blend is definitely one you will want to bask in all summer long!

Seaside at a Glance

  • Has a cool, breezy aroma
  • Creates a fresh, soothing environment
  • Transforms your space into a beachside sanctuary
  • Makes a lovely addition to cleaning recipes, DIYs and more
The Seaside blend is an absolute favorite summertime fragrance (and honestly an all year long favorite!) with its lightly floral and citrusy notes. The overall scent of this blend is simply heavenly! Citrusy and herbaceous with a slight floral note. No matter how you use this oil blend, you will absolutely love it!

 Key Ingredients

  • Neroli - Neroli has a fresh, uplifting floral aroma that is often used in luxury perfumes and skin care products. Steam distilled from the flowers of the bitter orange tree, this oil smells like heaven and is a popular choice for perfume! Applied topically, it also promotes the appearance of youthful, radiant skin and helps to reduce the appearance of blemishes.
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • Lime - Lime essential oil has a fresh, crisp aroma that uplifts the senses and brightens any space. This versatile citrus oil is a favorite for everything from cleaning to cooking to immune and emotional support! This zesty citrus oil uplifts the senses and supports feelings of clarity and positivity and also has high levels of antioxidants and limonene, which supports the immune system!
  • Cypress - Cypress is one of our favorite conifer oils - deep, woodsy and full of incredible health benefits. Cypress is calming and grounding and wonderful for releasing stored emotions. It helps ease feelings of loss and creates a sense of security. This oil also supports healthy circulation and heart health and is a popular choice for improving lymphatic flow.
  • Sage - Traditionally used in clearing rituals, Sage essential oil has a bold, herbaceous aroma that can be used aromatically for this same purpose. This herbaceous oil is calming and soothing to the mind and emotions, and pairs well with citrus oils to round out the overall aroma.
This combination of oils can be a powerful emotional tool as well. Cypress and Sage are both grounding and can help us process and release negative emotions. Citrus oils are bright, happy and uplifting and inspire us towards creativity and positivity, and Neroli is incredibly uplifting and soothing. When used with intentional practices like journaling, visualization, counseling or other tools, this blend can be a wonderful support tool!

Background

Spice oils like cinnamon, clove, ginger, and cardamom have been treasured for centuries, not only for their bold, aromatic flavors but also for their rich histories and therapeutic properties. Originating from ancient trade routes that connected East and West, these oils were once as valuable as gold, fueling exploration and global commerce.
  • Cinnamon oil, derived from the bark of Cinnamomum trees, was used in ancient Egypt for embalming and in religious rituals. 
  • Clove oil, native to the Spice Islands, was highly prized in medieval Europe for its ability to preserve food and ease dental pain.
  • Ginger oil, extracted from the rhizome of the Zingiber plant, has roots in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine, valued for its warming and digestive properties.
  • Cardamom oil, known as the "queen of spices," was used in ancient India and the Middle East for both culinary and medicinal purposes. Today, these spice oils continue to be celebrated for their potent scents, culinary versatility, and natural wellness benefits.
  • Vanilla carries a warm, sweet aroma that is deeply comforting and emotionally grounding. Though its use became widespread after the 16th century with the rise of global trade, vanilla was considered a sacred and luxurious substance by the Totonac and Aztec civilizations of Mesoamerica. 
  • Together, these oils are widely used in aromatherapy today, valued for their natural ability to ease stress, improve sleep quality, and create a sense of calm and emotional balance.
Key Ingredients

  • Clove essential oil - The highest valued antioxidant known, clove is rich in eugenol and prized for its powerful analgesic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Traditionally used to soothe toothaches and oral discomfort, it remains a go-to for immune support and relieving muscular tension.
  • Cinnamon bark essential oil - High in cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, cinnamon is revered for its warming, invigorating aroma and potent antimicrobial and circulatory-stimulating properties. Long cherished in traditional medicine, it supports immune health, eases digestive discomfort, and adds a comforting depth to aromatherapy blends.
  • Cardamom essential oil - Abundant in 1,8-cineole and terpinyl acetate, Cardamom is known for its gentle, uplifting scent and its ability to ease respiratory congestion and digestive upset. With its sweet, spicy notes and calming effect on the nervous system, cardamom is a favorite in blends that promote clarity and emotional balance.
  • Vanilla - Vanilla offers a warm, comforting scent that evokes a sense of calm and emotional well-being. Though technically an oleoresin or absolute rather than a true essential oil, it is highly valued in aromatherapy for its ability to ease tension and uplift the spirit. Its antioxidant and soothing properties also make it a luxurious addition to skincare and natural fragrance blends.

 Cozy Chai Ingredients
  • Clove essential oil - The highest valued antioxidant known, clove is rich in eugenol and prized for its powerful analgesic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Traditionally used to soothe toothaches and oral discomfort, it remains a go-to for immune support and relieving muscular tension.
  • Cinnamon bark essential oil - High in cinnamaldehyde and eugenol, cinnamon is revered for its warming, invigorating aroma and potent antimicrobial and circulatory-stimulating properties. Long cherished in traditional medicine, it supports immune health, eases digestive discomfort, and adds a comforting depth to aromatherapy blends.
  • Cardamom essential oil - Abundant in 1,8-cineole and terpinyl acetate, Cardamom is known for its gentle, uplifting scent and its ability to ease respiratory congestion and digestive upset. With its sweet, spicy notes and calming effect on the nervous system, cardamom is a favorite in blends that promote clarity and emotional balance.
  • Vanilla - Vanilla offers a warm, comforting scent that evokes a sense of calm and emotional well-being. Though technically an oleoresin or absolute rather than a true essential oil, it is highly valued in aromatherapy for its ability to ease tension and uplift the spirit. Its antioxidant and soothing properties also make it a luxurious addition to skincare and natural fragrance blends.
 Orange Creamsicle Ingredients
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • Bergamot - The crisp, citrusy aroma of Bergamot is uplifting and harmonizing, making it a popular choice for diffusing. Bergamot has a crisp, woodsy, citrus aroma that is so uplifting to our moods. In fact, it has been studied for its properties to lower cortisol (stress hormone) and to lower the body's sympathetic nervous response (fight/flight/freeze), making this a wonderful oil for emotional support!
  • Vanilla - Vanilla is such a warm, inviting and happy oil. It has a luxuriously rich, slightly sweet scent that enhances the experience of virtually every other essential oil, both when used topically or aromatically! Vanilla lifts the spirits and helps with stress relief and calming the mind. It also has powerful antioxidant properties that support the immune system and body's natural response to stress and inflammation.
  • When used together these ingredients are a powerful emotional tool, especially during a season where we may be busier or have more on our plates than normal!
 Pink Champagne Ingredients
  • Grapefruit - This bright, crisp citrus oil is wonderful for emotional support, uplifting the spirits, and adding a little zest to this blend. It is also wonderful for immune support since it is high in limonene.
  • Orange - Orange essential oil is an instant mood booster! This bright, happy oil is great for promoting an aroma of joy and creativity. Orange is also rich in naturally occurring antioxidants and limonene, making it supportive of the immune and circulatory systems as well as good for our bodies overall.
  • Lavender - Lavender is synonymous with calming and relaxing, and it adds an herbaceous aroma to this slightly sweet mix! Lavender pairs well with both citrus and Ylang ylang, and it soothes the mind and body alike.
  • Ylang ylang - Ylang Ylang has a sweet, romantic aroma that makes a lovely addition to perfume rollers and diffuser blends. This floral, balancing oil promotes openness and connection, encourages confidence, and inspires romance. Ylang ylang also has wonderful moisturizing properties and is well known for reducing stress.
  • Camphor - This oil is wonderful for opening the airways, and it lends a slightly earthy, crisp aroma to this delicious blend.
  • Cistus - Cistus is a crisp, slightly spicy oil that adds a bit of bubble to this blend. It is a wonderful immune support tool! It is cleansing and purifying.
 Seaside Ingredients
  • Neroli - Neroli has a fresh, uplifting floral aroma that is often used in luxury perfumes and skin care products. Steam distilled from the flowers of the bitter orange tree, this oil smells like heaven and is a popular choice for perfume! Applied topically, it also promotes the appearance of youthful, radiant skin and helps to reduce the appearance of blemishes.

This versatile citrus oil is a favorite for everything from cleaning to cooking to immune and emotional support!

It helps ease feelings of loss and creates a sense of security. This oil also supports healthy circulation and heart health and is a popular choice for improving lymphatic flow.
  • Sage - Traditionally used in clearing rituals, Sage essential oil has a bold, herbaceous aroma that can be used aromatically for this same purpose. This herbaceous oil is calming and soothing to the mind and emotions, and pairs well with citrus oils to round out the overall aroma.

If You're Feeling Diffuser Blends - July 2025

If You're Feeling...
Summer Vacation Diffuser Blends

Summer is a season of movement - of memories in the making, sun-warmed days, and spontaneous joy. Whether you're packing for a road trip, lounging by the lake, or just dreaming of your next getaway, emotions can run the full spectrum: excitement, freedom, gratitude, boldness, and more.

This collection of diffuser blends is designed to match your mood with the perfect essential oils—so no matter how you're feeling this summer, your space can reflect it. Breathe in, slow down (or rev up!), and let these blends bring your summer story to life.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time.

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Mineral Sunscreen Spotlight - May 2025

Mineral Sunscreen Spotlight

Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen is a must-have in our wellness routine! We get all natural, broad spectrum sun protection that dermatologist-recommended, and the planet gets safe sunscreen that won't damage reefs and ocean life.

If that's not a win, we don't know what is!! Added bonus – this summer staple is lightweight enough to wear under makeup for daily protection if you desire!

Mineral Sunscreen at a Glance

  • Non-nano zinc oxide provides safe and powerful SPF 50 sun protection for the whole family
  • Clean ingredients and zero skin-damaging chemicals
  • Dermatologist tested and cruelty freeNon-greasy, fast-absorbing formula without white residue
  • Formulated for all skin types
  • Formulated without avobenzone, oxybenzone, retinyl palmitate, parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals, UV chemical absorbers, artificial colors, or synthetic fragrances
  • Reef-safe formula will not damage natural coral reefs and wildlife
Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen Lotion is your summer sunshine BFF. This formula offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 sun protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays, is reef safe, great for children and all skin types, and goes a long way! Made with non-nano zinc oxide, this sunscreen gives you peace of mind that you are choosing the safest sun protection for yourself, your family, and the planet.

Key Ingredients

We love that this product is a base of non-nano zinc oxide, but it is also filled with skin-loving essential oils like Helichrysum, Carrot Seed, and Frankincense that put a protective barrier on your skin and help retain the skin's natural moisture while out in the sun.

  • Non-nano Zinc Oxide - provides broad-spectrum sun protection to prevent burns (even on photo-sensitive skin); aids skin healing and recovery after injury
  • Helichrysum - a powerful regenerative oil that soothes, moisturizes and helps heal the skin
  • Myrrh - an ultimate skincare oil; soothes and moisturizes the skin and help promote natural healing
  • Carrot Seed - provides skin moisturizing, protection, and cleansing properties
  • Sacred Frankincense - the variety of Frankincense given to Jesus at his birth; a wonderful oil for skin soothing and healing and protection
Why Ditch Conventional Sunscreen

Did you know that up to 75 percent of sunscreens are toxic, hiding many irritating chemicals? All those products whose active ingredients are avobenzone or oxybenzone (or something similar!) may be preventing some sun damage, but they are doing other damage at the same time. They can cause allergies, skin sensitivities, disrupt your hormones, and cause airway irritation.

Plus, most commercial products work by blocking either UVA or UVB rays but not both types. This means that chemical sunscreen manufacturers need to combine several different formulas/solutions into one product to prevent sunburns. The more chemicals that are added to the formula, the higher the chances are for negative reactions, allergies, and hormone damage. And for individuals with more sensitive skin, these sunscreens won't always prevent skin cancer and often cause reactions like hives, swelling and acne.

Let's talk about reefs super quickly. An estimated 14,000 tons of sunscreen go into the ocean each year and most (all the chemical based ones) kill coral reefs. It is such a problem that Hawaii passed a bill banning these chemical ingredients that harm coral reefs!

Just say no, friend. Grab some Mineral Sunscreen. Your skin, your health, the planet, and likely your dermatologist will thank you!

How to Use Mineral Sunscreen

  • Apply liberally to clean, dry skin 15 minutes before sun exposure.
  • Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating.
  • Reapply immediately after towel drying or at least every 2 hours.
Mineral Sunscreen Hacks

If you need an easy way to apply your mineral sunscreen (hello kiddos!), we highly recommend this simple sunscreen applicator. Simply pour your Mineral Sunscreen into it and apply. Or try one of these simple DIY hacks!

DIY Sunscreen Spray
  • An entire tube of YL Mineral Sunscreen
  • 1/2 bottle of ClaraDerm Spray
  • Continuous spray bottle
    Mix the two ingredients well in the spray bottle, then pop the top back on. Easy to use and so good on the skin!
DIY Sunscreen Spray II
Make sure to test for small amounts of time if you have fair skin or are concerned about diluting the sunscreen.
  • 1 tube YL Mineral Sunscreen
  • 8 oz fractionated coconut oil
  • 20 drops Lavender
  • 30 drops Carrot Seed
  • Continuous spray bottle
    Add all ingredients to the bottle, and shake to combine!

Using Young Living essential oils, each blend captures the essence of the most iconic Bath and Body Works fragrances, allowing you to enjoy these popular scents in a natural, customizable way. Here are six diffuser blends inspired by some of the most cherished Bath and Body Works scents.

Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time. 

LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!

To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.

To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!

To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.

To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.

Happy diffusing!!

All Things Allergies

All Things Allergies

From sniffles and sneezes to unhappy skin, allergies of any kind can leave you feeling pretty uncomfortable. Luckily there are a lot of things you can do to help soothe and support your body when these things hit! Here is everything you need to know about all things allergies!

 General Favorites

These oils and products are our mainstays when it comes to soothing the body and creating comfort when allergies hit. Grab a few and build your support cabinet! 

For the oils, you can diffuse them alone or in any combination (see below for blend ideas!), make them into a roller, or even use them as dietary supplements as desired.

This oil blend is specially formulated with a tried-and-true trio of three core oils - Lavender, Lemon, and Peppermint - our go-tos when the seasons (and air quality!) change! But it gets better. Season Essentials blend is further enhanced with the properties of Goldenrod and Eucalyptus Blue essential oils so that you can embrace the changing seasons with open arms!

This calming essential oil soothes and comforts the respiratory system when the pollen starts flying, and it also helps soothe and comfort the skin when it is feeling angry and irritated! Dilute with a little coconut oil or rose ointment and apply liberally and frequently.

Lemon is a wonderful natural mucolytic, making it a great choice for respiratory support! Cleansing and purifying, this citrus oil also supports the immune system, so you get added benefits when using it for respiratory needs.

This bright, crisp oil is a literal breath of fresh air. Pair it with Lemon and Peppermint for our seasonal LLP blend when the pollen starts flying or something starts blooming and you need some TLC with LLP!

This skin-loving oil is a mainstay in our beauty routines because it is so wonderful for your skin! When things start feeling irritated, grab your Frank. Dilute with a little coconut oil or rose ointment and apply liberally and frequently. This is also a great oil to apply and diffuse for respiratory needs!

R.C. stands for "respiratory congestion." This oil is a blend containing: Spruce, Cyprus, and three types of Eucalyptus oils (E. globulus, E. radiata, and E. citriodora). This oil opens up the chest and is wonderful to diffuse with lemon as well to work up anything that is building up in the body.

This gentle, soothing blend of Eucalyptus, Palo Santo, R.C. is prediluted and perfect for little ones age two and older. As the name suggests, this blend is perfect for soothing sniffles and respiratory needs!

Meet your new all-purpose, skin-loving ointment. Rose Ointment seals moisture into skin to deeply hydrate and soothe and is formulated for sensitive skin. Use this as your base for applying oils to skin in need. It's also perfect for lips, cuticles, elbows, knees, and anywhere you have dry or irritated skin!

This zinc oxide based cream is a must-have for angry, irritated skin. Think about it… diaper rash is a painful skin condition, so we can use this zinc oxide and gentle, soothing essential oil combination to comfort skin that is sensitive, irritated, or reactive.

 Surviving Spring Blooms

When the flowers start blooming, the pollen starts flying, and many of us start sniffling! If you want to enjoy the beauty of spring without hiding indoors until the worst is behind you, we have you covered.

  • Season Essentials oil blend - This incredible blend is labeled for use as a dietary supplement, for diffusing and for topical application, so you can use it however you choose! Add Season Essentials to an empty capsule or a teaspoon of honey and take it internally, make a roller to apply liberally and frequently, and diffuse it!
  • Lavender, Lemon & Peppermint (LLP) - this trio is THE springtime blend! Diffuse it, roll it on your chest, neck and even just inside the nostrils to help combat the pollen. Keep it on and around you 24/7! If you need a little more, add Copaiba or Tea Tree to the mix.
  • Lavender Vitality - a Lavender swipe on the inside of the cheek or a drop under your tongue a few times a day is another great springtime habit. Lavender is nature's antihistamine!
  • AllerZyme capsules - this enzyme complex is ideal for individuals with dietary sensitivities, so it can also help with seasonal needs!
  • Use the DIY Nasal Salts, Sinus Support Steam, Changing Seasons Oral Spray and capsules listed below! Also the Immune Boost Bath is amazing.
Easy Allergy DIYs

Orange Essential Oil

Known as liquid sunshine, Orange essential oil has a sweet and uplifting aroma that brightens any room and cleanses the air when diffused. This happy citrus oil pairs well with just about anything and is a wonderful addition to roller blends and DIYs.

The happiest of all the oils, Orange is a wonderful addition to ANY diffuser blend. Pair it with spice oils like Cinnamon Bark and Nutmeg, with Idaho Grand Fir and Lavender for sleep, or with Thieves for a great everyday blend. Orange is an incredibly uplifting oil that also inspires creativity!

Applied topically, Orange essential oil may reduce the appearance of blemishes, making it a key player in your skincare routine.

Mix up your daily NingXia Red. Add 1-2 drops of Orange Vitality essential oil directly to your NingXia or make a spritzer with sparkling water:
  • 2-4 oz NingXia Red
  • Orange, Citrus Fresh, and/or Lemon Vitality (or any Vitality oil) 
  • and lots of ice.
Add a drop or two of Orange Vitality to your favorite herbal tea for a fresh twist.

Add some zest to your salads and marinades by adding a few drops of Orange Vitality to the mix. Try this simple Dijon Vinaigrette with Lemon, Orange, or even Citrus Fresh Vitality:

  • 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 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.

Super Vitamin B

 Super B is a B complex supplement that is great for maintaining healthy energy levels, supporting mood, heart health and mental clarity. Our current lifestyles often leave our adrenal system (our fight or flight response) on overdrive, and B vitamins are a great way to give them some TLC!

B vitamins are essential to our health and well-being, and each B vitamin performs a unique and separate function. B vitamins are water soluble so must be replenished daily.

WHO SHOULD USE SUPER B?
  • Anyone under stress, as it depletes B vitamins in our bodies
  • Anyone who battles candida. Some believe a lack of it causes overgrowth.
  • Anyone who needs energy. It nourishes our adrenals and combats fatigue.
  • Anyone struggling mentally and emotionally, a deficiency can be linked to many anxious, exhausted, dark feelings and thoughts.
  • Anyone who struggles with anemia, is pregnant, or doesn't eat a strong whole food diet. While we DO NOT need folic acid which is all over our processed foods and grains, we do need folate which is what you will find in this whole-food supplement.
Create a daily stress-less protocol:

  • Take 2 Super B Tablets in the morning (or one in the morning and one around noon).
  • Apply the Adrenal Love (Stress Recovery) Serum over the lower back morning and evening. To a oz glass dropper bottle, add:
  • Roll EndoFlex over the front of the throat (thyroid) and lower back (adrenals) morning and evening. Simply add a roller top to the bottle!
  • Drink 2-4oz of NingXia Red daily. Make it fun! Mix it up with some kombucha, coconut water and/or sparkling water.
  • Consider adding Progessence Plus Serum to your routine.
So much more goodness about this supplement - all the info is on this blog post. You can find more about other incredible, oil-infused supplements from Young Living, check out this Young Living Oil-Infused Supplement blog post.

In 2011, a study at Heidelberg University found that Eucalyptus Radiata has the second largest abundance of 1,8 console (eucalyptus) after Eucalyptus Globulus. It is this constituent that gives Eucalyptus Radiata its camphor's aroma and incredible respiratory support properties.

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
