ORANGE ROSE HIP BLACK TEA

Water your self-care routine with Steeped Vitality Orange Rose Hip Black Tea, a full-bodied black tea that combines Assam and pu'erh teas with organic herbs and roots for a warm, comforting infusion to your spring mornings or slow evenings.
BALANCE Cleanser

Previously known as Orange Blossom Facial Wash, BALANCE Cleanser is step one of this skincare system. BALANCE Cleanser prevents breakouts and clogged pores by removing excess dirt and oil, while also helping to maintain the natural moisture barrier. This gentle foaming gel is safe for everyday use, relying on non-stripping ingredients to condition and moisturize to help your skin feel balanced.

Key Ingredients
  • Aloe vera powder, orange peel extract, and orange flower extract - these ingredients condition, soothe, and moisturize skin
  • Copaiba, andiroba, and acia oils - sustainably sourced from the Amazon, these oils may help control excess sebum.
  • Glycerin - this ingredient functions as a humectant that draws moisture to the skin, helping to hydrate, smooth, and protect the skin.
  • Naturally derived, gentle surfactants - These ingredients gently cleanse without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier, while also helping to maintain a healthy microbiome.
  • Proprietary essential oil blend - BALANCE by Young Living utilizes an exclusive blend of Lavender, Patchouli, Lemon Peel, and Rosemary essential oil that helps support oily and blemish-prone skin.
Formulated to help you skin maintain a healthy biome, this cleanser will have you saying hello to a happy, balanced-feeling complexion. Pair BALANCE Mattifying Lotion with BLANCE Dual-Phase Toner and BALANCE Cleanser to get the best results.

to Use
Gently squeeze a small amount into the palm of your hand and massage it into wet skin. Rinse throughly and pat dry, repeating both morning and night.

Golden Turmeric


Turmeric is no stranger to the health scene. YL's Golden Turmeric powder supports the body's natural response to inflammation, immune response, joint health, mobility, and recovery after physical exertion because of its incredible powerhouse ingredients.

Daily Habits with Golden Turmeric

  • Mix ½ teaspoon in 6–8 ounces of water, juice, or milk of choice once daily
  • Drink at nighttime as part of your wind-down routine
  • Combine with water, ice, 1 drop of Cardamom Vitality essential oil, and 2 ounces of NingXia Red for a delicious wellness drink
  • Add to a green smoothie (it's delicious with the Vanilla Spice Protein Powder)
  • Steep Spiced Turmeric Vitality Tea and add ½ teaspoon of Golden Turmeric for a cozy nighttime drink
Start your day with a Golden Milk Latte (full recipe is here)
  • ½ Tsp Golden Turmeric powder
  • 8 oz milk of choice
  • 1 drop Cardamom Vitality
  • 1 drop Nutmeg Vitality
  • Swish of Cinnamon Bark Vitality (insert a toothpick into the bottle, then swirl it around in the milk)
  • Dash of ground cinnamon for garnish
  • Option to froth some of the milk and essential oils in an electric frother for delicious foam! 
    Heat the milk on medium low, then stir in Golden Turmeric powder and add essential oils. Stir gently, then top with a sprinkle of cinnamon!
Make a Turmeric Clay Mask (adapted from Hello Glow):
  • 1/2 teaspoon Golden Turmeric Powder
  • 2 Tbsp flour of choice or ground oats
  • 3 Tbsp full fat yogurt or milk
  • A few drops of honey
  • 3 drops Manuka essential oil
  • 3 drops Frankincense essential oil
    Mix flour, turmeric, honey and milk to make a paste. Add essential oils. Apply a thin layer to your face and let it dry for 10-15 minutes (see below for guidelines). Rinse and scrub gently to remove.
While the powerful antioxidants present in turmeric impart that vibrant yellow color, be aware that this same color can stick around a little too long.  A good rule of thumb to follow is the one minute rule — if you notice no discoloration after sixty seconds, leave on for another four minutes. Test again, and keep it on all the way until 10 or 15 minutes, which should be the max for most products and at-home solutions.

For more about Golden Turmeric (April 2022 and October 2022) and on other incredible, oil-infused supplements from Young Living, check out this Young Living Oil-Infused Supplement blog post.

Thieves Dish Soap Spotlight

Thieves Dish Soap



When it comes to cleaning products for our homes and families, we want to make sure we have effective but non-toxic options, and the Thieves Home Line from YL is our go-to for all our cleaning needs. For dishwashing (and other great cleaning!) Thieves Dish Soap is tough on the grease and grime, gentle on our hands, and has a fresh, citrus scent - it's the perfect kitchen sink companion!

Why We Love It
  • Natural, plant-based ingredients clean dishes without harsh chemical residue
  • Tough on grease and grime but gentle enough to use on baby bottles
  • Natural cleansing agents decyl glucoside and lauryl glucoside offer a superior clean while being gentle on hands
  • Free of sulfates, dyes, phosphates, and synthetic perfumes
  • Can also be used as a spot treatment for laundry stains!
  • Works wonders with Thieves Household Cleaner to clean almost anything.
If you want a dish soap that cuts the grease, doesn't leave your dishes with a scented residue, and is gentle on your hands, then Thieves Dish Soap is perfect for you! This cleaning powerhouse is free of the typical sulfates, dyes, and synthetics found in many dish soaps, and the plant-based formula leaves no harsh chemical residues - on your dishes or on your skin. The gentle but powerful formula prevents over-drying of skin and will leave your dishes sparkling clean. Plus, a little goes a long way, and this bottle can up your cleaning game in the rest of the house too! 

Thieves Dish Soap vs. Conventional Options

Have you heard the term ‘greenwashing'? It is when companies throw catch phrases or use certain packaging to trick consumers into thinking they are purchasing a natural product, when in reality,  what they are buying isn't natural at all. Unfortunately the majority of the ‘natural' cleaning brands out there do this, which is a huge reason we love the Thieves Home products! No phthalates, parabens, bleach, formaldehyde, or toxic chemicals in these products - just the power of plants!

Another thing to note is that alllll those bubbles in your sink aren't actually cleaning your dishes any better. It is a trick called ‘pharmaceutical elegance' that acts as a visual cue to your brain to make you think you're getting a really clean sink of dishes. In reality, it doesn't make a difference. And when you switch to natural cleaning options, there are less bubbles because you're using plants instead of synthetic chemicals!

THE REAL F WORD… 

Let's talk about the real “F word” - fragrance. Fragrance is a very loosely defined term when it comes to use in personal care and household products. Fragrance and synthetic perfumes are problematic because companies aren't required to disclose the exact ingredients in the fragrances. Even ‘natural fragrance' is problematic.

Just because something is natural, doesn't mean we want to rub it on our skin (ie: formaldehyde - a naturally occurring compound that we don't want on our skin!). As the world leader in essential oils, Young Living utilizes refreshing scents of the pure essential oils instead of fragrance!

Grab your Thieves Dish Soap and get sparkling clean dishes today! 

TO USE

Dispense a small amount of soap with warm running water. Add additional soap as needed. Note: Because this soap uses plant-based surfactants, it will not bubble as much as conventional options. If you really want the extra bubbles, add 2 tsp baking soda directly to the bottle and mix well.

DISH SOAP STAIN REMOVER
  • Apply a bit of undiluted dish soap directly to the stained area.
  • Rub gently and let sit for a few minutes.
  • Repeat if needed, then wash with your Thieves Laundry Soap as usual!
THIEVES THE DAY SHOWER BRUSH
  • Thieves Household Cleaner
  • Thieves Dish Soap
  • Dispensing dish brush
  • Fill your brush with half cleaner and half soap. Use to scrub your shower every time you get in!

  • Is a wonderful choice for combating oily skin
Background

Bergamot is cultivated primarily in southern Italy and has been used in the Middle East for hundreds of years as a flavoring, perfume, and addition to moisturizers and cosmetics. Cold pressed from the fresh bergamot fruit that gives Earl Grey tea its distinctive flavor, Bergamot Vitality essential oil has a fresh, complex citrus taste that makes it the perfect addition to many summer dishes.

Key Constituents

Bergamot & Beauty

When it comes to skincare, Bergamot can be a great choice! It helps combat oil production, acne & psoriasis. Add it to a roller to use on T-zone or problem areas or add to your daily moisturizer.

Bergamot is also a huge component for many perfumes due to its ability to balance the mix of aromas and harmonize all of the essences. Some of our favorite pairings are:
Bergamot & Emotions

Bergamot essential oil 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! 

Bergamot has a woodsy, sweet, citrus aroma that is so uplifting to our moods. Bergamot helps decrease stress and is a wonderfully calming oil! Bergamot is often referred to as the harmonizer, helping us level out and identify our emotions. Citrus oils in general are great for creating a calm, uplifting mood.

EssentialZyme Supplement Spotlight - Jan 2023

EssentialZyme Supplement Spotlight

We've all heard how important digestive health is for overall wellness, and most recently more information has been discovered about how digestion affects immunity, mood and essentially all body systems. Because it's so important, we want to support digestion well and one way to do that daily is with enzyme supplements.

EssentialZyme is a bilayered, multienzyme complex caplet specially formulated to support and balance digestive health and to stimulate overall enzyme activity to combat the modern diet. EssentialZyme contains tarragon, peppermint, anise, fennel, and clove essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity, and support healthy pancreatic function.

ESSENTIALZYME AT A GLANCE
  • Stimulates overall enzyme activity
  • Supports and balances digestive health
  • Supports healthy pancreatic function
  • Assists the body in breaking down and digesting food
Why do we need enzymes?? Enzymes are protein molecules that are manufactured by all plant and animal cells and are required for our cells to function! Enzymes support all systems in the body:
  • Digestion - Enzymes break down food so that the body can digest it.
  • Metabolism - Enzymes help properly metabolize the food so that the body can use the nutrients from the food.
  • Respiration - Enzymes assist in getting oxygen where it is needed.
  • Nutrient absorption and transportation – Enzymes help the nutrients get to where they are needed.
  • Detoxification - Enzymes keep toxic sludge from building up in the body.
  • Muscle movement - Enzymes assist in helping the brain communicate with the muscles.
  • Hormone production - Enzymes assist in helping the body produce hormones that in turn keep the body functioning.
  • Cell Repair - Enzymes assist in repairing cells which can lead to youthful skin.
  • Cell division - Enzymes help keep cell division at a normal, healthy rate.
EssentialZyme contains a unique blend of enzymes such as pancrelipase and pancreatin that are known to assist the body in breaking down and digesting food, as well as Tarragon, Peppermint, Anise, Fennel, and Clove premium essential oils to improve overall enzyme activity and support healthy pancreatic function.

TO USE

Take 1 dual time-release caplet 1 hour before your largest meal of the day for best results.

What's the difference between EssentialZyme and EssentialZyme-4?
  • EssentialZyme specifically supports the pancreas containing pancrelipase and pancreatin. These enzymes are to be taken once a day before your largest meal.
  • EssentialZyme-4 is a set of two dual enzyme capsules infused with Ginger, Fennel, Tarragon, and Anise premium essential oils. The plant-based enzymes are designed to release immediately upon entering the stomach, where the environment is conducive to the digestion of plant material. The animal-based enzymes are designed to target release in the lower intestine region, where the environment is better suited for the digestion of animal fats and proteins. In combination, these two capsules aid in the digestion of dietary fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates for optimal nutrient absorption. These enzymes are to be taken with your two largest meals of the day.

Lemon Oil Spotlight - Jan 2023

Lemon Essential Oil Spotlight

Versatile, bright and joyful, just like sunshine. That's how we would describe this oil! Lemon essential oil benefits skin and hair as much as its aroma enhances your environment and supports your mood. This best-selling oil can be used in so many ways, making it a staple for every home.

Just a Drop of Lemon

  • Has a fresh, uplifting, citrus aroma
  • Helps neutralize unwanted odors
  • Cleansing and purifying
  • Great addition to cleaning products & DIYs
  • Removes sticky adhesives and residues from non-porous surfaces
  • Can support the immune system when taken internally
  • Has natural mucolytic properties
  • Is high in limonene
  • Contains antioxidants
Read on for more about why we love this oil and ways to use it daily….

Lemon essential oil has many benefits similar to sunshine. It can help brighten our moods, help us find and focus on the good, helps clean and purify and is good for overall health and wellness! Lemon is one of the most inexpensive ways to add incredible benefits to your health with daily use. So grab this citrusy oil and let a little sunshine into your life! 

Background & Sourcing

Originally native to Asia, the lemon tree wasn't common in Europe until the 16th century. It is part of the evergreen family and reaches a height of about 20 feet. Lemon essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, is known for its cleansing properties, and is widely used in skin care and home cleaning solutions for these benefits. Its fresh, zesty aroma also makes it an important top note in perfumes, as well as an effective odor neutralizer when diffused.

Key Constituents
Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them sprecic health-supporting properties

  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
  • Gamma-terpinene - a potent antioxidant, Chinese medicine believes that this constituent may halt the advance of unwelcome microbes, reducing the risk of colds and 'flu-like symptoms.'
  • Beta-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown beta-pinene to support the body through inflammation, to help calm the mind and to ease the body from the ‘fight or flight' response
Lemon & the Liver

The liver is the filtering organ of the body, so that means that every single thing we ingest or put on our skin goes through it to some degree! Everything gets filtered here, so it is incredibly important we show our livers some love and support them well! Not only is the liver the physical filter of our body, according to traditional Chinese medicine, anger and other negative emotions are stored in the liver. When the liver is functioning properly, it allows for the processing and release of both toxic emotions as well as physical toxins from our environment.

One of the ways that we can support our liver is with alkaline foods (typically greens, vegetables, etc). Because Lemon essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, it is alkaline and not acidic (like lemon juice). Adding Lemon to your daily wellness routine is a great way to support your liver on a daily basis.

Lemon & Emotions
adapted from Eryn Jones 

As we said above, our liver is a filtering and storage organ, and our emotions can take up root here. There is so much scientific evidence that our emotions have a direct impact on our physical health. Lemon can help with release of many emotions, but here are three to start with: 

  • Frustration is closely tied to our expectations (of ourselves, of others, or of a situation or outcome). The other side, or opposite feeling, of Frustration is Accomplishment. Most of the time when we feel frustrated is usually because we fear that we are not going to accomplish what we want to do/ feel/ or have happen! Releasing Emotional Patterns with Essential Oils suggests rubbing a drop or two of Lemon along the ribs, near the sternum (above the bile ducts), and focus on moving beyond your limitations or expectations. If we store up enough frustration that does not get resolved it turns to chronic anger, which is highly associated with liver and gallbladder discomfort or problems. So it's good to let the frustration go!
  • Lack, or the feeling of emptiness- when we don't feel "Complete". The other side of Lack is Full. This also makes this oil great for the Enneagram 7s and Enneagram 4s! Releasing Emotional Patterns suggests rubbing Lemon over the heart and chest while focusing on our completeness and all that we currently possess.
  • Stuck, the opposite of feeling Transformed and moving forward. When we feel stuck we fear experiencing life. So rubbing Lemon on the sinuses can be helpful for branching out and having new experiences and getting un-stuck! Note: do not use Lemon (or other citrus oils) on skin that will be exposed to direct sunlight within two hours.
Product Options

Lemon is a key player in so many of our favorite hair and skin care products (Lavender Shampoo & Body Wash!), our beloved Thieves cleaning products, and essential oil blends such as Thieves, Citrus Fresh, Clarity, Joy and Harmony.
Daily Habits with Lemon

One very simple way to support your liver on a daily basis is with Lemon Vitality! Lemon Vitality is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, making it alkaline and not acidic, and our livers love alkaline things. But aside from liver support, there are so many ways to use Lemon oil! 

Add Lemon to your food and drink

BEATING THE WINTER BLUES

According to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical tradition, our health is a holistic balance of mind, body, and spirit, with each person having a dominant energy type, or dosha. During the winter months we are more inclined to rest and hibernate, which can often lead to the winter blues.

Winter is the season of kapha, the dosha marked by a certain heaviness, a tendency toward mental fog, and sometimes weight gain. However, we can work with the body and energy type can help lift the lethargy of winter. Oils can help us sit in this seasonal shift without lowering our emotional energy!

Some great options for winter emotional support include:
  • Jasmine, Neroli, Ylang ylang or Joy
  • Winter Nights 
  • Rosemary, Basil or Eucalyptus
  • Palo Santo, Frankincense, or Sacred Mountain
Create an application ritual with some of the oils above and any other oils you choose to add. This ritual is a reminder to not hold on to destructive feelings, which can happen when there's too much kapha.
  • Gently rub the skin between your toes to create warmth in the area. Massage in four to five drops of your chosen oil, spending about three to five seconds between each toe.
  • With the oil still on your fingers and palms, massage the bottoms of your feet, spending thirty seconds on each one.
  • Move up to your wrists and gently massage the area with your thumb; spend ten to fifteen seconds on each wrist.
  • Next, move to the ears; use your fingers to massage the area behind your ears in circles for fifteen seconds.
  • Floating up to the forehead, massage your temples with your forefingers in circles for ten seconds.
  • Finally, cup your palms over your nose and mouth and take five deep inhales.
WINTER EMOTIONS + YOGA 

Yoga can have a profound impact on improving energy levels, especially during the winter months. Begin your day with a sun salutation to capitalize on the energy of the sun. Focus on asanas to invigorate a healthy kapha.
  • Choose a diffuser blend below, and set it near your mat.
  • Apply oils to the crown of the head (it won't make your hair greasy if you don't rub it in, just drop it!), wrists and heart.
  • Breathe deeply, repeat a positive mantra or focus on a word or intention you want to bring into your life.
COZY WINTER HOME DIY 

Evergreen Essence Room Spray
  • 15 drops Evergreen Essence Essential Oil Blend
  • 10 drops Vanilla Oleoresin 
  • 10 drops Tangerine Essential Oil
    Add essential oils to a 2 oz glass spray bottle, add a splash of witch hazel & top with water! Spritz on all the things! 
DIY Frosted Forest Hand Soap
  • Foaming hand soap bottle or recycle a YL one!
  • 2 Tbsp Liquid Castile Soap 
  • 10 drops each Peppermint &Idaho Blue Spruce essential oil
  • 5 drops Vetiver essential oil
  • 1 tsp Vitamin E oil 
    Add essential oils, Vitamin E oil and Castile Soap to the bottle, then top with water leaving 1" at the top
Sugar & 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
  • Ylang ylang, Vanilla & Cinnamon Bark pre-mixed in a dropper bottle, about 10-15 drops of each
    Add 4-5 drops of essential oils to each dryer ball. 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 scent.
Winter Spice Orange Garland
This is one of our favorite things to do every year. It is beautiful, smells amazing, adds a lovely touch to any room and is so easy to make. It may be a holiday tradition for some, but leaving it up or making it in the new year is a great way to add a touch of brightness to your home! 
  • About 5 oranges or a mix of oranges, clementines and grapefruit for varied sizes and colors
  • Essential oils: Cinnamon Bark, Vanilla, Clove, Believe, & Thieves
  • Fresh cranberries and cinnamon sticks (optional)
    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!
    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!

FAVORITE WINTER RECIPES

Winter is a season for warm, nourishing food and drinks, and adding oils is a great way to increase health benefits while elevating your dishes at the same time. 

For all recipes… Heat all ingredients, except the oils, in a pot over the stove, until just hot. Don't boil. Remove from heat, add the essential oils and stir to combine. Serve in your favorite mugs and top as desired.

Spiced Cinnamon Cider
A steaming mug of cider is the perfect remedy to cold, wintry days. Serve it after a day of sledding or hiking to warm up from the inside out.
  • 8 cups apple juice or cider
  • 4 cups orange juice
  • 1 cup pineapple juice
  • 9 drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality
  • 6 drops Cardamom Vitality
  • 4 drops Clove Vitality
  • 4 drops Nutmeg Vitality
  • 3 drops Citrus Fresh Vitality

    Add all ingredients to a large pot and stir to combine. Heat until simmering. Simmer for 30 minutes. Serve warm in a mug. Garnish with sliced oranges and cinnamon sticks.
Maple Cinnamon Latte

  • 1 tbsp organic maple syrup (add more to taste)
  • Organic ground cinnamon for dusting
  • 1 drop Cinnamon Bark Vitality essential oil
  • 1 scoop Inner Beauty Collagen
  • Optional: Electric milk frother 
    Step 1 - 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.
    Step 2 - Add the milk and essential oil (if using) to the frother, hit the button once, and wait while it warms.
    Step 3 - 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!
Homemade Hot Cocoa
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 - Lavender Hot Cocoa and Peppermint Hot Cocoa! Or whip up some Mexican Hot Cocoa for a festive twist!

Lavender Hot Cocoa
  • 4 cups milk of choice
  • 8 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 tsp honey, or more to taste
  • 4 drops Lavender Vitality essential oil
Peppermint Hot Cocoa

FOR THE YOUNG & 
YOUNG AT HEART

Colder temperatures keeping you inside? Try out some of these simple crafts to fill your days with joy!

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, and/or 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 an airtight container.
We hope you enjoy this Holiday Handbook. Bring the family together and try some of these projects! May your New Year be filled with fun, joy and abundance!

Winter Wellness Essentials in Dec 2022

Winter Wellness Essentials


The winter season is such a beautiful one, often full of slower days and family. We want to be fully present (and fully healthy!) to enjoy this time, so here are our favorites for this time of year. Grab these items below and get them in your daily routine. Add them to a Loyalty Rewards order for even more perks!

We definitely recommend ordering these favorites on your Loyalty Rewards order. I mean, is there anything better than your favorite, healthy products showing up on your doorstep each month? What about getting free products and product credits just for ordering things you're already using? Sounds like a winning situation to us! Which is why we love ordering using the Loyalty Rewards. We ditch conventional, toxic products for safe, clean Young Living versions, save money, save time, create a natural home, and get freebies all at the same time! 

To set up a Loyalty order, search for the products on the ‘Essentials' list, then click ‘Add to Loyalty Order.' You can manage your subscriptions by going to ‘My Account' and ‘Loyalty Order'. You can edit your order each month to reflect what you need (hello easy button!), change the order date and shipping options. Just make sure to order 50 PV minimum each month in order to maintain and increase your percentage back in points! Every time you hit a qualifying PV threshold (100 PV, 190 PV, 250 PV and 300 PV), you will automatically add free oils or products to your order!

Under the Mistletoe Lip Balm Set

Made with naturally derived ingredients, moisturizing seed oils, and infused with premium essential oils, this trio of Vanillamint, Citrus Frost, and Sweet Maple Lip Balms seal in moisture for soft and smooth lips.

(When out of stock, replace with available individual lip balms.)
Vanilla Oleoresin

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 pairs well with just about any oil and feels like a big, warm hug.

Read all about Vanilla on this Oil Spotlight blog post.
Believe Essential Oil Blend

Believe is a combination of Idaho Grand Fir, Coriander, Bergamot, Frankincense, Idaho Blue Spruce, Ylang Ylang, and Geranium that helps encourage feelings of faith and is lovely during the winter months.

Check all the details about Believe on the Oil Spotlight blog post.
Northern Lights Black Spruce

Northern Lights Black Spruce is a deep, woodsy oil that is exclusive to the Young Living family and has some wonderful properties! Northern Lights Black Spruce is a wonderful oil to diffuse or apply during prayer and meditation. It can help release emotional blocks and bring about a feeling of balance and grounding, making it a great choice for feelings of stress or anxiousness and for diffusing at bedtime!
Digest & Cleanse

Digest & Cleanse is one of our favorite daily tools for digestive health! This essential oil based supplement calms gastrointestinal upset caused by stress, overeating, and toxins. It helps soothe the bowel, prevent gas, and stimulate stomach secretions, aiding overall digestion and nutrient absorption.

The details about this amazing supplement are here on the Digest & Cleanse Supplement Spotlight blog post.
NingXia Red

It's no secret that we are crazy about NingXia Red. Use this incredible supplement for 30 consecutive days and you'll see why! 

Honestly, we're better people when we drink it. Sound a little far-fetched? Think about it. Do cars run better when fueled by the right gas? Yep. Yet we often expect our bodies to run on second-rate, processed, non-fuel. We get worn out, our digestive systems get tired, our cells get dirty, and we need something we can assimilate quickly and easily to go to work. NingXia gives our bodies the boost that we need!

Learn more about NingXia Red:

Evergreen Essence Oil Spotlight - Nov 2022

Evergreen Essence Essential Oil Spotlight

If you have ever wanted to bring the peace, tranquility and aroma of an evergreen forest to your space, then this is the blend for you!!

Evergreen Essence essential oil blend is formulated with various conifer oils, including Pine, White Fir, Spruce, Black Pine, Idaho Blue Spruce, Lodgepole Pine, Scotch Pine, and Pinyon Pine. This combination feels like walking through a snow-draped forest!!

Just A Drop of Evergreen Essence…
  • Has a rich conifer aroma
  • Brings nature's tranquility inside your home
  • Contains multiple varieties of Pine essential oil, which are wonderful for immune support
  • Calming and grounding
  • Conifer oils provide muscle and tension support
Evergreen Essence & Emotions

Evergreen Essence is a blend of conifer oils, all of which contain alpha-pinene, a constituent that helps the mind and body reach a calming, peaceful environment. Tree oils can be a wonderful tool for processing feelings of Unimportant, Un-nurtured or Disempowered. The Spruce and Evergreen family of oils are the ones to reach for when you feel like you are comparing yourself to others, are feeling undervalued or as though your unique voice has no place. The alternate side to feeling unimportant is Empowerment. When we can rest secure in who we are then comparison melts away and our unique blend of magic can shine!

A 2011 study in Pharmacognosy Magazine looked at the anxiolytic effects of an alcohol based pine needle extract and its ability to soothe depression in rats. Bottom line: however you approach it, pine and other conifer essential oils can be powerful health tools! 
Interestingly, we are often drawn to these oils during the colder months, when we are gathering with friends and family, remembering years past, and even grieving the things we have lost. Pine, Spruce, and Fir are calming and grounding and help us connect to feelings of strength and protection, which is something we need while processing those emotions. Adding Evergreen Essence to your daily routine is a wonderful way to support mental and emotional health during these times!

Thieves Roll On

If there were only one oil we could have in our arsenal, it would probably be Thieves. This blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus Radiata, and Rosemary essential oils smells like a warm cup of chai and is a powerhouse when it comes to our health and our homes, and the pre-diluted roll-on makes daily application so easy.

Read all about Pine essential oil on this month's Oil Supplement Spotlight.
AlkaLime

So many modern foods are loaded with (often hidden!) sugars and stimulants, impeding the body's ability to foster a healthy pH balance. 

AlkaLime works to combat this with its array of high-alkaline salts and other yeast-fighting elements such as citric acid and lemon and lime essential oils! AlkaLime works as a natural alkalizing supplement to maintain optimal pH in the stomach, soothing digestion and occasional upset stomach. This is also a wonderful supplement for those who have dietary sensitivities and experience exposure to a food that is pro-inflammatory for their body!

NingXia Red

It's no secret that we are crazy about NingXia Red. Use this incredible supplement for 30 consecutive days and you'll see why! 

Honestly, we're better people when we drink it. Sound a little far-fetched? Think about it. Do cars run better when fueled by the right gas? Yep. Yet we often expect our bodies to run on second-rate, processed, non-fuel. We get worn out, our digestive systems get tired, our cells get dirty, and we need something we can assimilate quickly and easily to go to work. NingXia gives our bodies the boost that we need!

Learn more about NingXia Red:
Christmas Spirit Foaming Hand Soap

Christmas Spirit foaming hand soap is a crowd favorite is a must have for winter! The bright, wintry scent just makes us happy, and our hands stay clean without drying out.

Pine Oil Spotlight - Nov 2022

Pine Essential Oil Spotlight

November is all about thanks, giving and the beauty of what is around us. The weather is growing colder, and our natural tendency is to start to slow down a bit.

Join us this month as we turn our focus towards presence and gratitude, taking daily steps to support our bodies and minds during this season! One of our daily products right now is Pine essential oil.

Pine Essential Oil

Pine essential oil is an underrated one for sure. This tree oil has an uplifting aroma that creates a breath of fresh air anywhere you use it, encourages feelings of positive energy, repels the influence of negative energy, and has some really unique and incredible health benefits!

Just A Drop of Pine…
  • Has a fresh, woodsy aroma
  • Wonderful for cleaning recipes and DIYs
  • Supports muscle recovery and soothes tension
  • Shares many of the same properties as Eucalyptus Globulus; the action of both oils is enhanced when blended together
  • Pairs well with other essential oils such as Peppermint, Lavender, and Eucalyptus
  • A wonderful addition to wellness rollers (especially post-2020!)
Pine needles have been used in herbal medicine and folklore for centuries. Pine needles contain Vitamin A and Vitamin C, which are essential for many bodily functions, including red blood cell production, hair and nail growth, and a healthy immune system. Pine needle tea was a common folk remedy for many things! 

Pine Background

The Pinus sylvestris tree, also known as Scotch pine, is a tall coniferous evergreen tree that grows to the height of 131 feet and has characteristic orange-red bark and stiff blue-green needles. Pine essential oil is steam distilled from the needles of the tree and has been researched by Hippocrates, the father of western medicine. Pine's aroma is reminiscent of the Japanese tradition of forest bathing and provides a refreshing breathing experience and encourages a moment of joy.

Key Constituents

*Constituents are naturally occurring compounds in plants (and therefore essential oils) that give them specific health-supporting properties

  • Alpha-pinene - a powerful antioxidant, some studies have shown alpha-pinene to support the body through inflammation and to help calm the mind
  • Limonene - known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-stress support, this is a powerful constituent with many health benefits
Pine & Emotions

Pine essential oil, like the spruce oils, contains alpha-pinene, a constituent that helps the mind and body reach a calming, peaceful environment. Pine is a wonderful tool for processing feelings of being unimportant, not nurtured or disempowered. The Spruce and Evergreen family of oils are the ones to reach for when you feel like you are comparing yourself to others, are feeling undervalued or as though your unique voice has no place. The alternate side to feeling unimportant is Empowerment. When we can rest secure in who we are then comparison melts away and our unique blend of magic can shine!

A 2011 study in Pharmacognosy Magazine looked at the anxiolytic effects of an alcohol based pine needle extract and its ability to soothe depression in rats. Bottom line: however you approach it, Pine essential oil can be a powerful health tool!

FAQs:
What is Gift with Purchase?
Basically, the best way to order! You purchase products and YL sends you free ones. Each month you'll have new picks for every tier.

Whats a tier?
Basically, the more PV (product volume) you order, the more free products you receive. Order at least 100 PV to qualify for free gifts. Order at least 50 PV to qualify for Loyalty Reward Points. Every time you increase your order volume (up to 400PV) and qualify for a new tier, you receive free products.

Earn points on products
Not only do you receive free goodies, but if you place a 50 PV+ order each month with Loyalty Rewards program, you'll also earn loyalty points on each purchase, which you can redeem for future products.

Earn exclusive gifts
If all those perks weren't enough, subscribers receive a free loyalty gift as a thank you each time you reach a benchmark anniversary of 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months of sequential ordering on the Loyalty Rewards program.
