I know daily life feels like a blur, time seems to be going so fast and I am not one for rushing the Holidays but every year in November Young Living has the biggest sale of the year and since I think we are all up for saving money, I am going to share the details of this amazing sale.
Sale starts Monday, November 17th at 9 am Mountain Time! The sale items will not be active in your account until then. MOUNTAIN TIME 😊

Here are some tips to get what you want in this sale! Just be aware ahead of time that lots of people may be ordering come tomorrow morning, November 17th! You may log into your account and get a notice that you are put into a que. DON’T panic! So many times the que might say that you are number 4,000 but then all of the sudden 10 minutes goes by and you are in. So don’t give up if you see this, hang in there and wait patiently. I have never had to wait as long as they say! Grab your Stress Away, put 5 drops on the back of your neck and smell the goodness and drink some great coffee and know you will enjoy the great deals.

Also, don’t wait until the last day of the sale if there is something you really really want! Grab it the first day and as soon as possible if you can. Things will go out of stock! In my own home here, I just pushed my Turkey order out 3 days early because I saw that I could save $20 by ordering it before the 20th. Heck yeah, I definitely took advantage of that deal!

Do you know your Young Living account is life-time? When you don’t order within a year it just goes to sleep, and waits for you to wake it up. Like a good long nap, you can always snap out of it and get moving again. If your account has gone inactive, or asleep, you can wake it up by just ordering 100pv worth of product and it will automatically reactivate your account. If you forgot your password, just go in tonight before the sale and reset your password so you are ready for tomorrow. It will ask you to confirm who your enroller and sponsor are, and if you do not change anything, it will keep you right where you were! If you’re not sure, contact me and I can assist you so that you are good and ready to process your deals tomorrow.

If you have not signed up yet and would like to take advantage of the sale, sign up here on my link ( https://getoiling.com/ceciliabruce )and make sure to use the SHAREYL code at checkout tomorrow to get an extra 10% off your order and a welcome gift from me when you are activated!

All of the sale prices are for SHOP orders only! Sorry, it’s always been this way and will always be this way. When your on loyalty you are already getting reduced shipping and 20-25% back on your orders so your always getting a monthly deal. This sale, is just for the Holidays! Smile! There is great savings to be had! You even get the free promotion gifts for the month with qualifying orders. If your pv order is a couple dollars away from 200 or 300 pv, toss a vitality oil or lip balm to get yourself to those totals to get the free products. They are worth way more than the extra couple dollars added.

Look over the items included in the sale and add them to your cart ahead of time. This way it will be easy to process your cart when the sale begins!




If you have any questions before or during the sale, the best thing to do is to text me. It will be the quickest way for me to assist you. 224-610-9703.

I hope you enjoy the savings and Thank you for allowing me to teach and to serve you all these years! It’s something that I am grateful for daily!

It’s November and the chill has definitely hit the air here in southern Wisconsin. Whether the weather near you is warm or cold, wellness should always be in your daily routine!
“Gratitude turns little into enough!”
What is on the menu at your home this month? Pumpkin Spice or Peppermint? Are you decorating with Fall leaves or do you have Christmas music already playing through the house? I personally like the holidays to slow down and enjoy the people I love so I try to make each Holiday last. My November is filled with Thanksgiving scents and Fall colors and the day after Thanksgiving is for when the tree comes out and the Christmas decorations go up. It’s always been our tradition and we hope for many more years to come.

If your local to southern Wisconsin or northern Illinois, come join us on Friday, November 21st for our end of year Holiday Dinner and Oils of the Bible class. It will be in Salem, Wi, just 8 minutes over the Illinois border and the catered dinner will feature The Polish Plate from Antioch IL. Cost is $20 per person and includes dinner, festive desserts and drinks.
Registration below is required by November 13th and space is limited. Grab a friend and come start the Holiday season with us!
Are you afraid to use pure essential oils around your pet? This was sent in by one of our groups members!
Young Living Oils are safe & well loved 🥰by even our pets 🐈⬛!
Whoever said cats can’t be around oils never met my cat! 😂

If you have been around Young Living for any length of time you know that Christmas Spirit oil blend is a winter favorite. I have made a tradition of diffusing it daily from November through the end of January. If you know me, I always encourage you to diffuse single oils for cost effectiveness so you can diffuse daily not only to keep your home smelling amazing but for the health benefits of diffusing as well. But when it comes to the holidays I can’t help but diffuse Christmas Spirit. You can get a 15ml of this seasonal blend during the month of November on Loyalty! This blend contains Orange oil which is a great inexpensive oil for beautiful skin and sleep. It’s calming to the mind and the scent evokes a sense of peace.
It also contains Cinnamon Bark which is known to be the oil of wealth from the orient. Emperors of China measured their wealth partly with the amount of Cinnamon they possessed. It’s highly antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal. And lastly this blend contains Spruce oil to help support the respiratory and nervous system. It’s anti-infectious and antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. Its aromatic scent is known to open and release emotional blocks to bring about emotional balance.
The scent of Christmas Spirit brings about a sense of security. It’s a beautiful thing all year around.

Exodus II. This oil may go out of stock quickly. It only comes around during the Holidays and is known for being protective against virus’. It is widely used since 2020 for a DIY nose salve to protect you from airborn yuck while traveling or flying. It can be warm on the skin due to the oils in the blend so it’s recommended to use with a carrier oil unless your using it on your feet. It is only available on Loyalty this month.
Evergreen Essence is a winter favorite and won’t be around long. It’s only available for Loyalty orders this month too.
So how do you use it? Well I’m just gonna recommend applying generously when going in public, at gatherings, when you’re around a lot of people, when you’re going to be hugging lots of people…basically it’s for when you have to people. You pickin up what I’m layin down friends????

Our Thieves cough drops are back in stock and before everyone buys up all the bags, use your points and snag yourself a bag and let me know that they aren’t the most effective cough drop you ever bought. Really, they work. They don’t suppress your immune system with added sugars and the oils in these gems help attack the germs that are attacking you! Grab yourself a bag or two from when that nasty cough strikes!
Do you struggle with gut issues? Our free products this month with qualifying orders help you with settling that angry gut. Spearmint is free with any 100pv Loyalty order. You may think Spearmint is just a flavoring for gum but it’s so much more. It is known to increase metabolism and is antibacterial, a gallbladder stimulant, digestive aide and is widely used for intestinal disorders, nausea and hepatitis. I love to add three drops to a capsule and take internally or a drop to my water after or during a meal.

Digize is our next free oil blend. It’s free for loyalty or one time shop orders of 200pv. It is a must have oil for every household. I can’t tell people enough about this oil. I don’t like the smell so I always take it in a capsule (5 drops) after a meal when I am feeling bloated or I have eaten one of the foods I have sensitivities too. My husband personally loves to just rub it on his belly and I do too, but only when I am not going out. It’s also much needed for food poisoning as well as activated charcoal. It’s a must have to take 3-4 drops in a capsule 3x a day when traveling out of the country to protect your gut from all the things, if you know what I mean. It’s great to rub on the feet of babies that have a hard time digesting formula and right on the bellies of toddlers with tummy aches. It’s a much needed staple for your household wellness and helps to restore your gut health and not destroy it like antacids or prescriptions.
Life 9 is free, along with the other two oils when your order is 300pv or more. Do you think this is just another probiotic? Let’s look at it a little closer:
I take it daily, and love the support it gives for my struggling gut! I have taken many a probiotic over my lifetime and I have seen the best results with this one, infused with gut supporting essential oils.
Life 9 contains 17 billion live cultures from 9 beneficial bacteria strains that promotes healthy digestion, supports gut health, and helps maintain normal intestinal function for overall support of a healthy immune system.
What are probiotics?
Probiotics are bacteria that line your digestive tract and support your body's ability to absorb nutrients and fight infection. You have 10 times more probiotics in your gut than cells in your body! Probiotics support immune function and healthy digestion. Did you know that 80% of your immune system is located in your gut? Also our digestive system is the second largest part of our neurological system. That is why the gut is called our second brain. Your digestive system affects every physiological system in your body, even your mental and emotional health.
When a child is born, they already have probiotics in their system, because they are exposed to their mother's bacteria during the time of delivery. This starts a chain of events that causes the infant's GI tract to begin producing good bacteria. Unfortunately as time goes on, the balance of good bacteria to bad bacteria can be thrown off by things such as using prescription meds, especially antibiotics, as well as high carbohydrate diets, drinking chlorinated or fluoridated water and consuming non-organic meats and dairy products that contain antibiotic residues. High sugar intake, eating GMO foods and grains, emotional stress and exposure to chemicals can also throw the gut flora balance off. The way to fix this is to consume probiotic-rich foods and supplements.
Life 9 is specially designed with special delayed-release capsules, a dual-sorbent desiccant, and a special bottle and cap that ensure your Life 9 stays fresh and effective. Each bottle contains 30 capsules, making it easy to use this helpful supplement daily.
Life 9 includes 9 probiotic strains for full-spectrum gut support:
1. Lactobacillus acidophilus
2. Bifidobacterium lactis
3. Lactobacillus plantarum
4. Lactobacillus rhamnosus
5. Lactobacillus salivarius
6. Streptococcus thermophilus
7. Bifidobacterium breve
8. Bifidobacterium bifidum
9. Bifidobacterium longum
Since more than 40 diseases have been linked to bacterial imbalance, we can choose to be proactive and supplement our diets with Life 9 probiotics to keep our gut healthy.
Answering ALL your most common questions about Life 9™!
Q. Why is it suggested to take Life 9™ before sleeping?
A. During sleep digestion is slower which will allow your body to receive the greatest benefit from Life 9™.
Q. Can children use Life 9™?
A. Yes, both children and adults may benefit from Life 9™ probiotic.
Q. Can I take Life 9™ while pregnant?
A. Yes, taking probiotics from food sources and supplements is considered safe. Young living recommends consulting with your doctor or midwife before taking it.
Q. How can you ensure effective gastric bypass?
A. In order to ensure Life 9™ is assimilated as intended we sourced probiotic strains that are tolerant to acid and utilized a delayed-release capsule designed to withstand gastric juices ensuring product efficacy.
Q. How is the adhering ability (adhering to the intestine walls) determined in Life 9™?
A. The strains chosen for Life 9™ were chosen for their ability to adhere properly to the walls of the intestines. While other companies may choose to use lower cost alternatives, Young Living® only uses the finest quality ingredients and products and will settle for nothing less.
Q. How many cultures are in Life 9™?
A. There is a minimum of 17 billion CFUs (colony forming unit) in Life 9™ at the time of manufacture.
Q. Does Life 9™ contains 17 billion live cultures per capsule or in each bottle?
A. Life 9™ ™ contains at least 17 billion live cultures per capsule at the time of manufacture.
Q. How can you assure me that the strains in Life 9™ are “live”?
A. The bacteria strains in Life 9™ have been freeze dried, which means that they have been frozen in suspended animation. When you take a capsule of Life 9™, the bacteria become exposed to water, which in turn, reanimates them. Once they reach your gut, they are living bacteria.
Q. How do I know that 17 billion live cultures are enough for me?
A. Probiotic supplements in the market offer a range from 1 billion to 10 billion strains. The amount of strains needed by an individual varies according to one’s previous conditions and current health. Life 9™ offers at least 17 billion live cultures to ensure everyone can benefit from taking it. Although the amount sounds high, probiotics are safe and one cannot be harmed by taking extra.
Q. Why isn’t Life 9™ refrigerated before opening, like most of the probiotics in the stores?
A. Life 9™ is vacuum sealed and packaged to provide optimal protection (glass bottle, plastisol lined metal lid, delayed release capsule, and desiccant). This packaging protects the strains during shipping conditions as well.
It is recommended that you refrigerate Life 9™ after opening.

Would you like your house to smell like Christmas without all the fake chemicals?
I like to add CHRISTMAS SPIRIT to my cleaner. I always add two capfuls of Thieves Household Cleaner to 16 oz of water + then add 15 drops of Christmas Spirit. I have a clean, safe, effective cleaner that smells like a North Pole cleaner! Try it and tell me if you like it.

If your not cleaning your house with Thieves cleaner, your missing out on the most inexpensive delicious cleaner out there that is proven safe for your kids, babies, pets and more.

Make your home smell amazing and know that it’s a safe cleaner and the most versatile and effective on the market, so I believe. I have not found anything better.
Thieves cleaner, under a dollar per serving, using only a capful or two per spray bottle. If you would like a cheat sheet on how to use Thieves cleaner in every single area of your home and vehicle, drop me a message via email and I’ll email it to you.

Ningxia red >>> coffee! ☕️
We often reach for coffee when we’re tired, stressed, or needing that quick boost. But the truth?
Coffee’s “pick-me-up” often comes with a crash. Caffeine forces the body into overdrive, depletes minerals, taxes the adrenals, and leaves you needing more just to feel “normal.” It’s the cycle of temporary energy at the expense of long-term vitality.
Instead of forcing energy, they feed it. The difference?
☕️ Coffee stimulates. 🍷 NingXia nourishes.
Where coffee can drain, NingXia replenishes by providing steady, cellular-level energy thanks to natural antioxidants, polysaccharides, and a low glycemic index that doesn’t spike blood sugar.
🚫 Poison or Power?
Coffee’s quick hit may feel good in the moment, but nourishing energy, the kind that supports your whole system, is what truly fuels your day.
Choose nourishment and regeneration over crash and degeneration!

When I was growing up, my mom read health books daily and followed two health channels on the tv. Both were well known health professionals and one was a doctor who had been a western medicine doctor until he became very ill (if I remember correctly it was cancer) and he cured himself with natural protocols and went into natural medicine to treat the whole body and not just the symptoms. My mom always stressed how important it was to follow people that had walked the walk not just talked the talk.

Today so many people are talking yet have they endured the tried and true test of the walk to show their integrity and consistency? There are so many new natural products. I know more than a few that seem natural but when you dig deep into their history or look at the individual ingredients of their products, their claims are false. It’s like many of the natural organic food companies that have been loved brands by many but they sold out to Pepsi and Bauer and the list goes on and on. They are now not what they seem.

Young Living was started by Gary and Mary Young and they have done the research, traveled the globe with their two children to find us incredible plants that have properties that can help our bodies be restored to wellness when we take care of it. They have never sold out, they are still a one family owned company that believes that integrity and purity matter and that their legacy is important.

It’s not the packaging.
It’s not the branding.
It’s not the bottle shape or the label.
What sets Young Living apart is what’s inside. 🌿

Purity, transparency, and standards that go far beyond what anyone else dares to do. From seed to seal — that’s the difference you can feel. 💧

Please enjoy this beautiful sway link that describes many of our farms. You will be blown away! Share with your peeps.
Young Living quality is unmatched and no one else has our Seed to Seal.
Enjoy:

Oooh La La La La. Kisses for your skin in so many ways. Lavender is the Swiss Army Knife of essential oils. Did you know that it is the most adulterated oil out there! There is more Lavender sold than there is grown. 98% of it is fake. Yes FAKE.
Stick with the good stuff. We have our seed to seal guarantee and it’s a powerhouse for your cells and your skin!

From Dr Scott:
Myth: All essential oils are created equal.
A growing number of companies have started selling essential oils as they have increased in popularity. Unfortunately, with increased EO popularity comes increased EO adulteration. Demand simply exceeds supply, so suppliers must extend their supply through various methods.
Roughly a year ago I shared GC-MS reports from a colleague that showed many companies are selling adulterated essential oils. Some EO chemists and aromatherapists were quick to dismiss the reports because the analyses used trans-furano-linalool oxide acetate as a marker for lavender EO adulteration. These individuals argued that this constituent was not currently an accepted marker for lavender EO adulteration. However, suppliers are becoming more sophisticated in their adulteration methods meaning that novel constituents will continue to be identified as adulteration markers.
Researchers from one of the most respected botanical and natural product organizations in the world, the National Center for Natural Products Research, performed a detailed chemometric analysis of 72 lavender essential oil samples (13 authentic, 32 commercial, and 27 unidentified) and published the study this year. They found that 23 of the 59 unidentified/commercial samples did not meet the composition of lavender EO according to ISO standards. In addition, they concluded that some of the samples that met the ISO standard contained trans-furano-linalool oxide acetate, which is indeed “an indicator of synthetic compound adulteration in [lavender]EO.” Based on their detailed analysis, the NCNPR determined that between 25% and 90% of commercial lavender EO samples are adulterated.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33831738/
A good rule of thumb is if an oil is far less expensive than others (e.g. $7.99 for a 15 mL lavender EO) it is likely poor quality or adulterated. Purchase EOs from reputable companies that provide a GC-MS analysis of each batch of EO they sell.
Have you ever thought of a Young Living business? Whether it be to get your product paid for, pay for a car payment or to replace an income like I needed to 14 years ago. I would love to chat and walk you through how to share the products you love and help you get started. I have a great video from Richard Bliss Brooke that says it all.

On Saturday Young Living unveiled their Holiday products for 2025. Here is the scoop so you can fill your home with healthy scents while you make memories with your family.

Peppermint is a holiday favorite flavor and I have a recipe that I think many of you will love. Especially if you are watching your sugars and want a healthier treat for you and your guests. I have made these for years and I have never yet had anyone not enjoy them!

When you don’t eat sugar but need a sweet fix, these are a wonderful snack to grab out of the freezer! This batch doesn’t have the top layer of chocolate on them yet but it’s coming soon after this post and they will be gone quick as a flash after they set! They are that good!
Does anyone remember mint peppermint patties? Yes, this is a healthy version of that but you wouldn’t know it!
I have been making these for years after they were a gift by a leader and friend of mine Diedra Brinkman McGeever
I actually cut the raw honey in half and they are still oh so sweet!
Messy batch here but that’s because I was rushing to get to eat them! 😋😋 Enjoy the goodness! Recipe👇
3 Tbs coconut oil
1/4 cup raw honey
1 Tsp coconut flour
Bag of Lilly’s Chocolate chips or any chocolate of choice
20 drops YL Peppermint vitality
Mix the coconut oil, honey, coconut flour and peppermint together until creamy. (I put 10 drops in the filling and 10 drops in the chocolate base!
Melt chocolate and put small amount into muffin cups, freeze for 10 minutes! Place small amount of peppermint filling into the cooled cups and top with remaining melted chocolate and freeze for another 10 minutes. You can store them in the freezer or fridge! I would double the batch because they won’t last! 😋
Peppermint is oh so good to help support a healthy digestive system, reduce inflammation and sooth tension and discomfort in your belly!
I will be serving these at our Fall DIY Wellness class at my home next week!
Come join us at our next monthly gathering in Salem, Wi. Our Fall DIY event will include making and taking home respiratory bath bombs, a wellness roller and organic elderberry syrup. Cost is $10.00 per adult. Registration required, friends always welcome. We would love to see you.

Have you tried our new Wanderful diffuser? Young Living has come out with a beautiful Lilac and Green color in this model and now a tan beauty for those who love all things fall.

If you have been around Young Living for any length of time, you probably have tried Christmas Spirit essential oil blend. It is probably my most favorite blend and I diffuse it off and on all throughout the year. The scent is emotionally balancing and evokes a sense of security and comfort (really, it does) and I personally love to put a drop under my tongue for immune wellness and, well, because it tastes amazing. We have our Christmas Spirit essential oil for diffusing or in your water and we have always had the hand soap so your guests can enjoy the sweet scent of Christmas when they visit your home. I love to give it as a gift with a beautiful hand towel and a YL Vanilla Mint lip balm. These are only available during the holidays! Try Christmas Spirit and tell me how it made you feel. I guarantee it will be positive!

To soothe bug bites 🦟
To soothe irritated skin 😫
To soothe paper cuts 📝
To soothe wounds 😣
To soothe dry cracked skin or lips 👄
To use as a carrier oil when you have nothing else in your purse 👛
My daughter used to always have dry lips when she was younger and every other natural lip balm made her lips swell. We tried them all. Young Livings was all she could use and the only one that worked.
Keep one with you at all times. Give them away on top of a gift. It is the best thing ever!
And best of all, there is no harmful ingredients, no mineral oils, no petroleum ingredients.....❤️❤️❤️

Have you tried the Simplified line of oils? They are wonderful for diffusing and I even use them topically. I recently bought the Water Lilly for myself to diffuse in my office but my husband was complaining of lower back discomfort after working on an outdoor project and so knowing the oils in that blend, I applied 6 drops to his lower back of the Simplified Water Lilly and he was pain free. All of our oils are multitaskers ❤️

Did you know that the traditional (toxic) candle is dangerous to our health when lit but even dangerous when they AREN'T lit?? 🤯🙅🏽♀️😷🚫
That’s right, even an unlit candle can omit chemicals into the air such as false fragrance, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and acrolein… just to name a few. 🤢
And don’t get me started on when you actually light a toxic candle. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Andrew Sledd, M.D (a Missouri pediatrician who specializes in environmental toxicology) found that it only takes ONE HOUR of burning a candle to produce the same harmful effects as smoking just one cigarette. 🚬🚬🚬
🕯️ So as cozy, warm & yummy those candles may smell when you light one up as soon as the weather cools off, they are SO bad for your health as well as your family’s health. 🤕🤧😮💨

Enjoy diffusing our Winter Simplified Collection!

Fall in love with every lather!

As we roll into the cooler months, we also roll into the months where we are lacking our natural immune boosting source of the sun. It is estimated that 80% of Americans are deficient in Vitamin D. Vitamin D is an important hormone for our immune system and the lack of it leads to many chronic conditions. Vitamin D is the only vitamin that can be produced by our body when our skin is exposed to sunlight. You will get the daily vitamin D needed by just being exposed to the sun (40% of your body) without sunscreen for 30 minutes a day. If you do use sunscreen after that 30 minutes, your skin is your biggest organ and using the most natural sunscreen possible is critical to lessen your toxic exposure. Did you know that areas where the sunlight is not as prevalent, depression is increased? Vitamin D from the sun or via supplementation actually reduces depression and anxiety as well as many other health benefits. I think we all smile more when we are in the sun, so grab a chair and bask in the warm sun while you can and take a good supplement when the clouds are out!

I am currently experiencing some issues with our education page on Facebook. I am still posting daily education but I cannot do any live educational videos until the end of October. I was flagged for posting about our Enzymes. In order to work around this, I created a short video on my YT channel with some tips that you may enjoy. If you would like to join us on Facebook for our private education group, send me a message and I will get you added. You can find the YouTube video here: https://youtu.be/ccaMdHsWFyA?si=8px2DRvDznOjC0Aq
Young Living gives away free products each and every month and gives you cash back up to 25% on each order to redeem for things you love like our oil infused skin care products, personal care products, supplements, oils or even our edible products! We have so many things to choose from. Our Loyalty program is never required but at just $50 a month you can earn cash back and for qualifying orders, and every month you get to enjoy the free items too. You can be on Loyalty and order below $50 a month, but you will not receive cash back points with totals below $50 but you do still save half on shipping. It is a great way to purchase the items you need and use daily and receive some new products that you may never have tried before for free that are automatically added to your qualifying order. Building your wellness arsenal is important so when illness strikes, you can grab your oils or supplements you need and start the fight quickly so your immune system can bounce back instead of taking root and having illness lasts longer. My recommendation is when illness is present, apply oils or take internally hourly for the first 48 hours to see the quickest results. Let me know if you have more questions.


This month Young Living has some great freebies that will help you as we enter into Fall. With the cooler weather, our respiratory system starts to need extra support. Eucalyptus Globules is one of my husbands favorites and is FREE in October with orders at 100pv. He puts it on his chest daily when he is working construction jobs to combat all the coughing and hacking he is working alongside at his job and It opens up your airways and oxygenates your lungs. I personally love to put one drop of any of our breathing oils on my chest when I go for a walk or hike to just breathe easier. My favorite use is to rub on my tired achy feet to wake them up and make them feel alive and take away the discomfort and to make homemade DIY bath fizzies with Eucalyptus to put in the shower. They are made for bath lovers but that is not me, so I close off the shower drain and let my feet soak in the goodness while I am taking a shower when I am feeling under the weather. The oils get into every cell of your body so its a whole body shake up! Enjoy the recipe below when you receive your free bottle:
Recipe below:
2 cups baking soda
1 cup Citric acid (non-gmo on Amazon)
2 Tbs water
30 drops of your favorite essential oil
Mix together the baking soda and citric acid in a medium-size bowl. In a separate small bowl or bottle, mix together water and essential oil. Slowly add the oil-water mixture a few drops at a time into your dry ingredients, stirring well after each addition (a stand mixer works well for this). When ingredients are thoroughly mixed, tightly pack into 2-inch balls using your hands, a stainless steel cake pop mold, or a cookie scoop. Set on a plate to dry. If necessary, pack the balls again more tightly. Allow to dry for 12+ hours before using.

Our second FREE oil this month is for all of you who experience seasonal discomfort. You know, the Spring and Fall sniffling, sneezing, stuffy head and itchy eye time of the year! Over the many years I have been doing Young Living, we have encouraged customers to use a combination of 5 drops each of Lemon, Peppermint and Lavender in a capsule every four hours or as needed for this lovely seasonal time of year but Young Living has made it even simpler by creating Season Essentials. One bottle and all the goodness in one place. 5 drops of this amazing blend in a capsule every 4 hours or as needed will assist you with the negative experiences of the seasons changing. It can be rubbed on a child's feet, or diffused as well for easy breathing. You will love it!
Our third FREE product this month is Super C.
Super C Tablets - Why do we need extra Vitamin C in our day (if you are not getting enough in your diet and/or you are going through a time of stress/lowered immune activity)? Because Vitamin C is critical for the health of our bones, circulatory system, nerves, skin, joints, lungs, teeth… are those enough reasons yet? Oh, and Vitamin C stimulates your own body’s natural collagen production, which comes back to helping all those other systems mentioned above.
Don’t you just LOVE 1.3g of Vitamin C in just 2 tablets of Super C?! Your body can only absorb about 1,000 mg per hour of this water-soluable vitamin so I take one in the morning and one in the evening for a great day’s dose of extra C. This bioavailable super blend of Citrus Bioflavonoids, Rutin and Cayenne supports the circulatory and immune systems, along with our YLEOs of Orange, Tangerine, Grapefruit, Lemon and Lemongrass. This powerhouse combo also gives us Calcium, Zinc and Manganese – key minerals for our immune & structural systems! So don’t miss out on easily upping this necessary vitamin in your daily regimen with these easy-to-swallow Super C tablets.
They are tart and sweet with a combo of Acerola cherries, Camu camu and Rose hip fruit powders, along with our Orange EO in it to give powerful immune-supporting abilities! [Acerola cherries aren’t really cherries, but a berry that looks similar but grown on a bush to give us major benefits!] Vitamin C also helps us better absorb other nutrients, like iron! So if you are working on supporting healthy iron levels, make sure to take extra Vitamin C with your NingXia Red and Multigreens, etc.
Did you know that the “Vitamin C” that you mainly find on store shelves is made from an isolated chemical and created in a lab… and your body knows the difference! The body knows the synergistic effect of the whole fruit or herb and this is what makes a food or supplement bioavailable (the usability of it for your body). So make sure you are spending your money wisely (and get them FREE whenever possible with your loyalty points!) and get the highest quality on the market as you and your body deserve the best!

Along with our free products monthly, each month Young Living highlights one or two products and makes them available for 15% off. This month is one of my personal favorites the last few years. I actually mention it above in my YT video at the top of this email because I love it so much. I just purchased a second bottle to avoid out of stock issues this winter and to make sure we do not go without.
Red Cedar Bliss, I have mentioned it in most of my recent blog posts and I will keep talking about it until you all grab yourself a bottle. We take it internally in capsules (5 drops every 3-4 hours when things are rough) but you can also diffuse it and I think you will fall in love with the scent.

Let's talk about this one for a minute!! 

She is probably on your shelf RIGHT NOW, and you need to get her out and USE her!!
Yes, she is a warm, evergreen bliss!
She is a beautiful blend of
Orange,
Clove,
Laurus Nobilis,
Helichrysum,
Frankincense, and
Western Red Cedar oils, which have a welcoming, harmonizing aroma to ground and uplift the mind. Plus, this blend of oils has some incredible health benefits and is full of multiple constituents that support a healthy immune system and overall wellness!

Mary Young created this blend to serve a particular purpose?

Each oil in this blend provides constituents that help create channels in our body to clear our “toxins or proteins,” and the key to that is CLEAN BLOOD.
How do we help blood be the cleanest it can be? >>> Helichrysum, Red Cedar, Frankincense, and most especially clove.

As the Holiday seasons are upon us, I love to highlight Digize and Tummygize. These two are powerhouse oils to have on hand for any kind of tummy issues. Especially after big holiday meals or too much sugar and sweets, these are important to have on hand every day but especially after holiday meals. My husband loves to rub Digize on his belly when he has eaten too much or has had something that does not agree with him. I personally don't like the smell so I always carry empty capsules with me so I can put 4 drops in a capsule after I have eaten something that my stomach gets angry with. I have experienced food poisoning several times this year after eating out, and Digize and activated charcoal have been my saving grace. If you do not have both in your wellness cabinet, you need to grab them both. Activated charcoal is also good to soak up alcohol in your system if you have had a few too many and I have even had it work well when I have eaten gluten when I know I should not have. Digize is wonderful for extreme diarrhea for you, your kids and your pets. Does your baby get cranky and gassy after having a bottle? These both work well on babies too. We have put Digize on our dogs paws when they have had tummy issues with great success. Tummygize is already diluted for littles but it works perfectly for tummy issues for adults and pets too.

Do you know that Young Living has Einkorn flour?
This product MAY be safe for those who cannot tolerate gluten. It is an ancient wheat, nothing like the adulterated and gmo wheat of today.
It has 14 chromosomes while modern wheat has 42 so this makes it friendlier to the digestive system.
It has 3-4 times more beta-carotene than modern wheat so it boosts immunity and helps prevents lots of icky stuff.
It contains 2x more vitamin A than modern wheat for healthy eyes, reproductive organs and more.
It contains 3-4x more lutein than modern wheat which helps prevent lots of eye related disorders.
It’s got 4-5x more Riboflavin than modern wheat which is an antioxidant that helps us to age well.
It’s also significantly higher in protein.
It is not GMO, and it’s easy on the digestive system! Enjoy the recipe below!

So many of you have been having success with our Daily Hormone Essentials, our Liver and Whole Body Cleanse. They are now available on Loyalty so you can enjoy your cash back points while you enjoy your balanced hormones and liver health!

Are you a new mom and have questions about how to use oils on your littles? We would love to hear from you so we can walk you through your questions to equip you to feel confident in keeping your kids healthy this winter with confidence. I have used our normal oil line for my kids and all my grandkids but we have a Kidscents line of oils just for moms who are just starting out and are unsure of how to dilute or what to do with the oils for their babies and toddlers. These roll-ons are easy peasy and great to toss in the diaper bag, leave at grandmas house or keep next to the crib at night. You can roll on with confidence and know that the oils are already diluted so there is no questions about how many drops of carrier to use with each oil. With newborns on up to toddlers, we love to start their oil journey topically only on their feet.
Or we have a our Little Oilers Starter Bundle for those who need a diffuser for the nursery. 
Can anyone spell Christmas? I am not in a hurry for this but Young Living is doing their Holiday Product drop on October 11th!
Keep your eyes peeled on the website or if you are signed up for text alerts from Young Living, you will be notified of the new product launch. I will be sending out a second blog post that day as well but products go fast so if you can keep up to date with the text updates, you will get to enjoy all the new goodies!

So good! From Dr. Mark Hyman today...thank you Sarah Harnisch.
"Your body never lies.
Your skin, your posture, your muscle tone, even the coating on your tongue…these are diagnostic tools.
Skin mirrors the liver because your liver is your primary detox organ. When it’s overwhelmed (by sugar, alcohol, processed foods, or environmental toxins) you might see breakouts, dullness, rashes, or premature aging. Beauty creams won’t fix what a clean diet can.
Posture reflects fascia, the connective tissue influenced by inflammation, hydration, and movement. A slouched posture often indicates stress, sedentary habits, or chronic pain.
Fat distribution is hormonal. Belly fat: Think insulin and cortisol. Thigh and hip fat: Think estrogen. Every bite of food either balances your hormones or throws them into chaos.
Jaw structure and airway health are shaped by nutrition from infancy. A diet low in nutrients and high in soft processed foods can narrow the airway, weaken the jaw, and affect sleep, oxygenation, and even facial development.
Fluid retention signals lymphatic congestion. Your lymph system depends on hydration, movement, and anti-inflammatory foods. Puffy eyes and bloating are red flags.
The tongue mirrors the gut. A coated tongue may indicate dysbiosis, an imbalance in your microbiome. Your gut health shows up in your breath, your digestion, your cravings, and your skin.
Muscle tone is a proxy for mitochondrial health and longevity. Sarcopenia (muscle loss) is one of the earliest signs of biological aging. The more muscle you maintain, the younger your cells behave.
Every cell in your body is built from the food you eat.
Your blood, your skin, your brain, your hormones, it’s all constructed from nutrients you either give your body... or don’t.
Appearance matters: not as a measure of beauty, but as a reflection of biology. Your body is always speaking.
Start listening."

“Just got out of the hot tub!!
It’s full of water, salt and Geranium essential oil !
That’s how we keep it clean and balanced.”
“Young Living’s Essential Oils are heaven sent when it comes to keeping your hot tubs clear, clean and protected. Using Thieves and Geranium…you can use Purification…but it is a stronger odor and not quite so “relaxing” smelling. Directions: Drop 1 to 3 drops of Geranium into the filter area, not into the hot tub itself, each time you get in the tub (of course this depends on how much it is used...don’t over use the oils because they will cause the PH to go up and the water will turn a little milky.)
Then use 2 to 4 drops of Thieves about once a week to help take care of scum, things that grow green and other unwanted stuff in the tub with you. Run through a cleaning cycle. They both make the hot tub smell great and add to the relaxation of the hot water and ‘bubbles’. Using the oils help to keep the hot tub clear, even after not using for months at a time. It keeps the PH up and the Alkalinity in line. And if you should use a chemical such as Bromine or Chlorine and then drop the oils into the filter area and turn it on for a few minutes, the oils will neutralize the odor of the chemicals.
It is recommended on a new hot tub that you add the proper amount of chemicals recommended by the manufacture to make sure that all the pipes, tubes, jets and etc are cleaned out good. Then you can start using the Essential Oils. Using your test strips, check to see that the readings are up where they should be, then add the oils and run for a little while, then test the water again and you will see that the PH and Alkalinity will be up but the Bromine or Chlorine will be clear…no color on the strip…this means that the oils have done their job and you are safe to enter the tub.
Use, experiment and enjoy your “Truly New Awesome, wellness Hot Tub Experience.”

If you have questions about product usage and personal needs, I would love to connect. If you would like to host a virtual or in person class at your home, I would love to get that scheduled with you. I look forward to helping you grow in your knowledge of natural health and healing.
Choose Health!

Happy Labor Day to all of our US customers and Happy September for our international customers. The weather is cooling off here in southern Wisconsin just until our Indian Summer hits and then we will have whiplash back into 90 degree temps within a 24 hour period. I know it’s 47 degrees this morning but don’t pack away your flip flops just yet!
In honor of the start of Fall, enjoy this apple pie recipe with crumb topping. I use coconut sugar in place of any processed sugar and always have amazing results. Let me know if you enjoy it! https://bakeitwithlove.com/wprm_print/dutch-apple-pie-with-streusel-topping/?fbclid=IwRlRTSAMnUnJleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHofXwujt5WmYNc_I89-MSX-KzB4o4vCZrsd3uokFsrJagjTHML98bflBR-Fb_aem_oLwVmo9XJKfKwAaWQYbFqQ
Whether it is warm or cold where you are laying your head tonight, I hope you are well prepared for the season ahead. For the last 13 years I have advised people to order their winter oils during the summer and their summer oils during the winter. You avoid out of stock issues on your favorite oils and you are well prepared no matter what season you are in.

Before we talk seasonal wellness, I have to give a big shout out to our new product Daily Hormone Essentials. These little daily packs are a game changer. I am almost through my first month of taking it daily and I am in awe. I have always tried to stay away from processed foods. Not perfectly but it’s definitely not a routine thing in my life. I raised my kids on eating Whole Foods as well because I wanted them to have a healthy start in life and to have healthy hormones which affect so much for our future. Living life all these soon to be 58 years with the least amount of exposure to daily toxins, commercial cleaning products and pharmaceuticals, got me through menopause with ease and I didn’t experience the normal symptoms that most women deal with but I deal with some fatigue and extra weight that doesn’t seem to go away despite what I do. So I gave these little packets a try and I have already lost 2 lbs and my energy has blown me away.

If you are experiencing hormone imbalance or perimenopause, menopause or even beyond, this supplement may positively rock your world.
One caution is this may not be for women using synthetic hormones (birth control) or if you have an IUD. The Daily Hormone Essentials naturally bring balance to your body but synthetic hormones create chaos in your body so the two will be dualing forces and can cause symptoms of imbalance. These do not replace your Progessence Plus or PD 80/20 but pairs with it to bring balance to your entire endocrine system. The testimonies outside of my own are incredible.
This months free products with purchase are great products to add to your winter wellness kit.

If you are on Loyalty Rewards and spend 100pv, you will automatically get a 15ml Clove essential oil.
Clove is a powerhouse. A little Clove history; The people on the island of Ternate were free from epidemics until the sixteenth century when Dutch conquerors destroyed the clove trees that flourished on the islands. Clove essential oil can also act as a natural blood thinner so be mindful if you are using synthetic blood thinners.
Clove can be added to capsules to take internally or applied to the spine with a carrier oil or to the feet every few hours when your body is struggling. You can also diffuse Clove and it can encourage sleep and creates a peaceful mindset. It can kill anything in its path. It’s an oil you want to have in your home as the seasons change.
Cinnamon Bark is also free this month at the 200 pv point level and helps balance our blood sugars by adding 4 drops in a capsule 2-3x a day. Along with Ocatea or Fennel, all of them are wonderful at helping the body naturally balance blood sugar when you take them internally. I love to put a drop of Cinnamon Bark under my tongue for the taste and fighting benefits of this powerhouse. It can kill anything in its path!
At 300pv, you get to enjoy Immugummies. This easy to chew immune boosting daily supplement are for those picky eaters that will not take vitamins. These chewies are so delicious, so much so I have to hide the bag from my hubby! 2 a day is a serving.
Have you prepared for the health of your family for the upcoming winter? We highly suggest grabbing a Thieves chest rub and the Thieves cough drops for your wellness kit.

Did you hear our Thieves Cough drops are back in stock? I would guess that half of our customers have been waiting for these gems. It’s been over 20 years since I purchased over the counter cough drops because they never worked and I didn’t like all of the sugar in them. (Sugar suppresses your immune system when your trying to heal) so I don’t know the cost of cough drops in the stores now days but I do know that I refused to buy these YL cough drops when they first came out. I was stunned at the cost and said no way. But then, I had a dry cough one year and I didn’t have any other symptoms but this terrible dry cough that wouldn’t go away before I had to fly out of town. My upline called me and I couldn’t even talk to her because my cough was so persistent so she sent her daughter over with these cough drops and I tried them and they worked. And they worked and they worked. So now I use my Loyalty points for two bags every season to use ONLY when absolutely needed. They don’t have any sugar or fake sugars added as well. They are worth every penny! Really! Let me know if you have had a wonderful experience with our cough drops.
So many of you ask how to use the oils for daily conditions or chronic issues. I realized I need to be more specific in how I use essential oils rather than just suggesting oils to use.
You can contact me anytime you have specific questions. I do private zoom calls, in person coffee dates and monthly classes at my home to help answer all of your questions about oil usage to keep your family healthy and happy naturally.
This 👇 is our hiking haul that I keep in a backpack for when we go hiking and boy did it come in handy this week. My hubby had quite the week and were so thankful we have tools at home to care for everything that happened.

Last Monday I sent out a pretty lengthy list of my testimonials to the email all of our active customers for our Monday Education to demonstrate how you can get started with how to use the products you have and why to have items on hand at the ready is so important.
So let’s chat about what oils and products I used this week in my home.
We started off this week with my husband getting a new sting. Not fun right? It actually swelled up pretty big on his ankle and he was in a lot of pain. We immediately put 2-3 drops each of Purification and Lavender on the sting every couple hours. By the next morning the pain was gone and the swelling had gone down but not completely. We continued for day 2 and by day three there was no sting left, no pain and no swelling.
The same day he was out gardening and building a flower bed for me so he was pulling weeds deep in the ground and next to the fencing wire for almost 6 hours on his hands and knees and when he came in, his hands were swollen as well as his knees. We applied our knee blend which we both use now that we both have torn our meniscus’. We apply this to both knees twice a day and it keeps us active and there is never a need to take over the counter anti-inflammatory products that can strain your liver. See knee blend below👇
I also had dairy one of the days this week and dairy really kicks my sinus’ into angry mode. I was dizzy from my sinus’ being so off so I added a few drops of Colloidal Silver in each ear and was as good as new.
I daily take 4 drops of Peppermint in a capsule to support my digestion and help with any inflammation.
I was feeling emotional one day this week about an issue a friend was experiencing so I applied Frankincense and Kidpower to the back of my brainstem and my wrists to recenter my thoughts and support my brain health.
I use 8 drops of Progessence Plus serum twice a day to support healthy hormones and emotions.
And my husband had a pretty intense physical therapy appointment stemming from his eye surgery earlier this spring so we used Valor on his neck and back before the appointment to calm his nerves and help his skeletal system align. It is the same frequency as your bones so it’s great for that aching back and skeletal health.
This following knee blend is also good for romantic moments. Hubba Hubba 😬🥰
Happy Knee Blend
1/4 cup coconut oil in a glass jar (never put oils in plastic, they will pull the petro chemicals out of the plastic, yuck.
30 drops Palo Santo
40 drops Copaiba
6 drops Lemongrass
Mix well with a metal spoon or knife and this should last a couple months, only needing a small pea size amount on the knees or hands or other area of the body in pain.
After Jim applied this to his knees and hands, he immediately was able to bend and move his hands and knees without pain. We don’t go a day without applying this blend. And you will love the smell too.

Sometimes we question why the oils seem so expensive....
Here are some quick tid bits to help keep things in perspective!
PALO SANTO (Holy Wood)
It is steam distilled from the wood chips of dead heartwood-Equador. The wood must be dead for at least 2 years before the oil is pulled into the heartwood. The wood must be cut into sawdust to get at the oil (9kg of sawdust to produce 500 ml of oil).
If you are not sure what Palo Santo is used for, check out your desk reference! Its a single oil and has some amazing emotional benefits, specifically addresses knee issues as well as immune support.
ROSE oil - Is the most expensive oil that Young Living produces and is not just for that pretty smell. Check out your desk reference for some of the amazing uses of Rose Oil. If you wonder why it is so expensive, it is Steam distilled from rose petals. It is deeply nourishing and beneficial to the skin. Twenty-two pounds of rose petal are distilled for every 5-ml bottle of oil produced. I have had two bottles in my time with Young Living and I use it sparingly to add to other blends for beautiful skin, deep emotional issues and for skin injury and repair.
LEMON oil - Do you know, it takes approximately 75 lemons to make one 15 ml bottle of Lemon Oil! Use it daily in water to help boost immune system, diffuse during homework for clear thinking and concentration and great for liver support!
If you have a desk reference, read one page a week! You will be surprised at what these amazing oils can do!

Have you got your oils for winter? Having them on hand will help you tackle whatever comes your way immediately to fight the battle before the sickness takes root.
Here are my top products to have on hand every year, all year around but absolutely during the winter:
Nebulizer - battery powered ones do not work well. You can get a good one that plugs in on Amazon for around $60. It will be well worth it and cheaper than a doctors visit. You can nebulize hydrogen peroxide or Colloidal Silver to help you or your child breathe easy in difficult situations. Of course consult a doctor in an emergency. We take ours with us when we travel and have used it. It’s a must have.
Colloidal Silver - our last newsletter went over the benefits and the brand to look into. It’s a must have. Great for so many things but also ear infections and pain. It’s easy and quick to put drops in you or your child’s ear. Really, it works. Find a good health book and read about it. Google is not the best source for medical advice.
Thieves cough drops - coughs, sore throat
Thieves oil kills it all
Clove oil - kills it all
Oregano - sinus’
Red Cedar Bliss - gunk and junk in your lungs and sinus’? Take 5 drops internally every few hours and you will be amazed.
Cedarwood, Peace and Calming -sleep
RC -respiratory
Inner Defense capsules- It’s a natural course of 7 days to clear the ick from your body kinda thing. Every home needs 2 bottles on hand
Ylang Ylang & Cedarwood for tough coughs that want to stick around. Rub 4 drops of each of these two oils on the spine and chest several times a day to kick it in the butt almost overnight.
I could go on and on but these would be my absolute must haves. You can conquer anything with those 11 options. Consistency always brings results.
If this list seems daunting, grab yourself a premium Starter kit for $165 and you will have 12 oils at the ready for all body systems and illness. Here is a previous video on how to use them and why the kit is such a money saver: https://youtu.be/uMfe5kLNd1A?si=Uqzbh1keU4RMi5_k
People say oils are costly but so is not being able to work because you are too sick. So are Co-pays to see a doc when many things you can kick it in the butt yourself. So is not being able to care for your children because you are down for the count.
Sometimes I get the feedback that it’s cheaper to go get the free medicine that the insurance pays for and I will always argue that what you are savings in money now, you will pay for in health issues later. Medicine is here as a tool for urgent or serious situations but our society has turned them into using them for well care which will never keep you well. Prescriptions cause chaos in our body which is why we have side effects. Natural remedies come front plants that our bodies can recognize and they bring harmony and wholeness to our body.
Especially as we age, having a healthy foundation under our belt is going to lead us into our older years with so much more ease and strength and endurance and freedom to stay independent.

What do you use for sleep?
Rutavala
Lavender
Cedarwood - soooo inexpensive (great for that adult or child with attention or hyperactivity issues.
Sleepygize
Orange - sooooo inexpensive
The oils work and are safe for your babies, pets and you!
If your not cleaning your house with Thieves cleaner, your missing out on the most inexpensive delicious cleaner out there that is proven safe for your kids, babies, pets and more. And there is even tested evidence out there that you can clean your counters with it after cutting chicken and poof 💨 all the yuck is gone. Ask me for the video.
The oils in Thieves cleaner are fighters and create a hostile environment to germs, bacteria and virus’. It’s safe to use in EVERY area of your home.
This time of year I like to add a couple drops of Christmas Spirit to it so my wood floors and counters and mirror have a little holiday scent to them. Christmas spirit boosts your immune system and gives you a feeling of security when diffused or inhaled. Grab yourself some little bottles before the end of the month. You will not regret it. It tastes delicious too under the tongue 👅

Oils and babies
A post from two years ago but the info is still good tips for today! Oils are safe and amazing for any age! 👇
Good morning from Not So Sunny California.
This beautiful girl is a week old now and I’m getting ready to head home after being here for over 2 weeks.
This is Kalei and is my daughters second sweet girl. As with the first she is an oil baby and is so healthy and happy.
Lots of people ask if oils are safe for newborns and most of the Young Living oils are. There is a great book for expecting or new mamas “Gentle Babies by Debra Rayburn” and it’s a beautiful guide to help you navigate health and oils in pregnancy, ”labor, delivery, postpartum, and newborn and toddler care. It’s my go to book to send as a gift to all new mamas!
People don’t hesitate to give their baby an over the counter med but are hesitant to give them pure plant goodness that has no preservatives, chemicals or synthetics in it. Young Living Oils are safe and beautiful for every stage of life and for our pets and we just use common sense and of course use way less than we would on ourselves as adults.
This beauty here and her sister and other grandbabies of mine started out life in the womb with mama using oils daily and then Frankincense applied to their feet immediately at birth with a little prayer! It’s a beautiful way to enter the world and be supported naturally from moment one.
We have used Myrtle on this little ones feet, just a drop twice a day since birth because a sinus yuck is going around and Myrtle is specifically great for infants respiratory support. Frankincense keeps the immune system working so well, brings emotional calm and helps them cellularly at all levels.
Gentle Baby is so gentle for our babies. It’s name fits perfectly. Helps with mama and baby feeling calm and collected, and beautiful for any kind of skin that needs attention from babies bum to mamas tender areas.
And then comes the respiratory and sinus support for all of us that we’re dealing with whatever is being passed around now days. Sinus discomfort is always just that, discomfort. So we tackled it with steamy hot showers first thing in the morning to drain all the things, lemon in our water daily, and then oils like Hong Kui (trees from Taiwan that grow for over 1,000 years and is highly resistant to decay and used for building temples), Lime for respiratory support, Palo Santo for Respiratory and Sinus support, Valor to keep all the emotions calm in the house after the chaos of a new baby and a blend I made of Oregano, Thyme, Lemongrass, Thieves and Cassia for the bottoms of feet for all of us 4x a day. Knocking this garbage out fast and furious so we can enjoy this new life to the fullest. ❤️
We added Aromaease for big sisters tummy who was a little stressed most likely from all the changes in the home.
