How to use May's
Gifts with Purchase


Soak up the beauty of the season with May's free gifts! Made with clean, botanical ingredients straight from nature, these plant-powered essentials will inspire you to get outside and enjoy the simple pleasures of spring. They are perfect for  getting that summertime glow!

Rose Ointment for all your skincare needs, DetoxZyme and DiGize for happy bellies, and Citronella to keep those outdoor pests at bay - all for free! Plus, earn 10 loyalty points you can use to treat yourself to more seasonal essentials like Cel-Lite Magic Massage oil for summer-ready skin!

NOTE: If you're looking for any DIY supplies, check out the DIY Supplies List blog post for the exact items we use and recommend.

And don't forget to round up your order with the 'Dollar Up' option to donate to the Young Living Foundation. A few cents can go a long way!

Be sure to tag me @oilisliving on Instagram when you use these ideas so I can celebrate with you!
DiGize Essential Oil

DiGize is another oil to always have on hand. It is our go-to for digestive support anytime we need it - both daily and acutely. Make sure to grab this one before you head out to all your summer gatherings!

Add DiGize to V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier and massage it over the abdomen to soothe digestive needs.

Make a ‘Tummy' roller to apply over the stomach as needed for digestive support. To a 10 mL roller bottle, add:
  • 15 drops DiGize
  • 10 drops each Lemon & Peppermint (optional)
  • Carrier of choice
Apply DiGize diluted or in a roller over the stomach and liver to support release of toxic emotions. This works best when paired with strong affirmations and/or prayer.
 
When traveling, inhale DiGize directly from the bottle for soothing comfort. Or pair it with Peppermint in a travel diffuser.

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

Support your health from the inside out with daily DiGize capsules. Add 1-2 drops DiGize Vitality to a vegetarian capsule and top off with a carrier oil (olive oil or V6).

Add a drop or two of DiGize Vitality to your favorite herbal tea for a digestive support twist.

Whenever you need some extra digestive health, add a drop of DiGize Vitality and a drop of Lemon Vitality (optional) to a large glass of water or to a vegetarian capsule for relief.

See the DiGize Spotlight for TONS of ways to use this oil!
Citronella Essential Oil

Citronella is well know for its love of the outdoors (but not the outdoor annoyances!), but did you know that this lemony oil is also incredibly versatile? It's one of the main ingredients in the Purification oil blend, so anytime you'd use Purification, try Citronella. Citronella is cleansing and purifying, making it great for cleaning, gentle detoxing and clarifying. It is also a great addition to massage oil for supporting healthy circulation and the body's natural response to tension.

Summer often means lots of time in damp places. Give your feet a little daily TLC and protect them with this Happy Feet Blend. Make as a roller (use fractionated coconut oil or V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex as the carrier) or as a cream to apply after a day at the pool in a public shower.

  • 5 drops Tea Tree
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
Drop Citronella into gym shoes, rain boots, the basket of pool towels, diaper pails or any other damp spaces that need a little refreshing.

  • Young Living Bath and Shower Gel Base
  • 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 40 drops Citronella

    Add vinegar and essential oils to a large pump bottle, then add in the Bath & Shower Gel Base and mix well.

Give tired, sore muscles some love and support healthy circulation with citronella. It's also great for Charlie horses and supports the body's natural response to inflammation. You can use it on its own or make a simple Circulation Massage Oil to use every day or as desired.
Use Citronella to support healthy airways with this DIY Breathe Massage Oil. To a 4 oz pump bottle, add:
  • 20 drops Citronella essential oil
  • 10 drops Lemon essential oil
  • Fill with carrier of choice
Use the cleansing power of Citronella in your cleaning routine. Add to your cleaning DIYs, Thieves Cleaner, etc. to kick the germs without the harsh chemicals. (Citronella is high in methyl isoeugenol, so its a great cleaning companion.)

Add 2 tbsp to the floor of your dishwasher and run on a hot cycle. You can also place 1 cup of white vinegar + 2 capfuls Thieves Household Cleaner in a glass bowl in the top rack to further disinfect.
