Young Living Holistic GLP-1 for a healthy, safe weight loss!  How to kick knee pain and heartburn!
You are receiving this email because you are part of our Young Living organization.  The person who signed you up or your Young Living leader has sent this to you.  This is for educational purposes, this is not a solicitation. 
As we enter January, I want to leave you with some wisdom that I have learned over the years.  January is known as the month to restart and dream new goals for the new year.  We all start off with resolutions, usually ones that are mighty and not sustainable.  After struggling with this same thing myself each year, I came across this book years ago and it made such a big difference in my life.  Seeing how these small little pieces of time help us build consistent habits.  Just like using your oils, eating healthy, moving your body in some way daily, choosing healthy habits, it all boils down to "consistency matters" and consistency is always what will bring about change.  This book is a great place to start, having you spend 10 minutes each morning on 6 different areas of life to bring improvement in your physical body, spiritual and mental well being.  If your having trouble sleeping, relaxing, staying focused, enjoying each day, this is a great book to get you started.  I have always wanted to journal to leave my kids my thoughts and prayers, but I always feel like I have to journal for an hour daily and not making the time to do that.  This book encouraged me to just do it for 10 minutes daily and after forming a good habit, if I had more time I could journal more, but if not, there is progress in doing it just 10 minutes.   I hope this blesses you.

About 10 years ago, my mom started to work out consistently for an hour each day, all from a chair when she was 88 years old.   She never went to the doctor and used all natural methods her entire life but at the age of 88 her legs were swollen so we took her to urgent care.  She had fluid built up on her legs and had to have them drained.  The doctor told her she had heart failure and had a year to live.  My mom, in good fashion, defied the doctors and read every natural book about heart health she could and made sure to eat heart healthy foods, and started to exercise consistently.  She would wake up at 4:30 a.m. each day when the chair exercise lady came on her tv.  She became stronger all from stretching daily from her chair.  She didn't do cardio, she didn't lift weights or run a marathon, she simply did what she could do daily from her kitchen chair but did it daily.  She lived another 6 years and did not pass away from a weak heart.  I hope this encourages you to know its never too late to start and see results!

Knees -  As I was preparing this newsletter, I had a customer reach out about this knee blend that we sampled at one of our last local classes so I thought I would repost again.  My husband and I have both torn our knee miniscus' and use this blend daily on our knees, and we are anxiously awaiting enough snow to go snow shoeing!   Enjoy and let me know if you like it!

Rub on knees twice a day or any other part of the body needed. Great oil for intimacy too - oooh la la la la.......

What is Sulfurzyme and why do you need it?  

If you suffer from arthritis and joint pain, loss of hair and allergies, Sulfurzyme is a great daily supplement to not only improve your hair, skin and nails but its also great for joints and knees!  I take a tsp daily in my lemon water and I love the fact that it doesn't have sugar but has a sweet natural fruit flavor from Wolfberry!  
Its even amazing for your dogs and their bones and joints!  We have a write up in our education group about Sulfurzyme and your pets! Its good for adults and dogs! 

Supplements {Enzymes} - Young Living Enzymes have been out of stock for many months.  For the hundreds of us who have been anxiously awaiting their return, our tummies are feeling good tonight.  During these months, I, along with my daughters have tried many a different enzyme from the health food stores with no success.  We have all agreed, the Young Living Enzymes are the best and most effective we have ever used.  We hope you have stocked up!!!! 

Could your digestive system use a helping hand? Enzymes help the body break down & digest food, supporting & balancing the digestive system. This graphic will help you figure out which of Young Living's incredible enzymes might work best for your own needs.

Einkorn wheat is one of the world's oldest grain varieties. This ancient grain contains more vitamins and minerals and less gluten than modern, hybridized wheat. It contains just 14 chromosomes compared to modern wheat’s 42. This makes it more nutrient dense and more digestible.

Did you know that 1 pack of Ningxia Red = 420g of fresh NingXia Wolfberries ?  
What? 420 grams? 
Yes! It's made from 420g of fresh goji berries! 
This is the information we got from our partner farm in NingXia Province in China, where it is the only wolfberries in the world that is considered as Superfoods ! (Wolfberries grown outside of NingXia Province aren’t considered as Superfoods by the FDA nor the Chinese Ministry of Health)  I also looked thru my old notes from Gary and he said each pack has 1 lb (454g) of wolfberries. 
Do you know how much one pound (454g) of fresh goji berries is? Imagine the blueberries you usually buy at the supermarket, typically 120-200g per box. Would you eat two boxes at once? Or maybe four boxes?
It’s nearly impossible for you to eat 100-150g of dried wolfberries a day (which is the same number of wolfberries if they were fresh). And how much do you pay for a pack of 100g Organic Dried Wolfberries from the health food store ? Wayyyy more than you pay for a pack of NingXia Red.  
One packet of Ningxia Red contains 420g of fresh goji berries ~~ How do they fit 420g of goji berries into a 60ml packet? 
And on top of that, they add blueberry, Aronia berry (the berry with the highest antioxidant value), pomegranate, black cherry, plum juice concentrate, and four different citrus essential oils to increase the limonene content – a liver-protective element and antioxidant booster, helping your liver makes more glutathione !! First, the goji berries are pureed and water is removed with patented centrifuge technology  (fresh goji berries are 80% water).
Could you eat that much just in one go ?
According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, all parts of the goji berry plant, including the leaves, peel, seeds, and pulp, are rich in nutrients. They contain abundant carotene, lycium barbarum polysaccharides, betaine, fatty acids, proteins and peptides, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin C, 18 amino acids (8 essential amino acids), and trace elements like calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, manganese, phosphorus, etc.
To completely preserve the nutrients of the whole goji berry and avoid nutrient loss during the juicing process, YL (Young Living) adheres to its "Seed to Seal®" commitment, utilizing three major patented technologies in the production of Ningxia Red:
*Low-Temperature Sterilization: It turns out that when temperatures exceed 100°C, some of the goji berry's nutritional components are destroyed by the heat! YL controls the sterilization temperature around 85°C, ensuring effective sterilization while not damaging the precious nutrients of the goji berry.
*Ambient Temperature Preservation: After sterilization, the goji berry puree is stored at around 30°C (ambient temperature) to completely preserve its active components.
*High-Pressure Cell Wall Disruption: The peel, pulp, and seeds of the whole fresh goji berries are refined into a puree, increasing the human absorption rate to 90%.
When it comes to goji berries, many people naturally think of eye health, thanks to the key nutritional components in goji berries—zeaxanthin and lutein. The macula in the center of the retina is responsible for the clearest vision, color discrimination, and image reception. Zeaxanthin, concentrated in the macula, can reduce damage from harmful blue light and UV rays, protect macular health, delay vision deterioration, and reduce eye muscle fatigue.
The human body needs about 2mg of zeaxanthin daily, but there aren't many food choices containing this component. Besides goji berries, foods relatively high in zeaxanthin are red chili peppers and bell peppers. Could you eat 10-15 red chili peppers or 2-4 bell peppers every day?  People generally don't eat very spicy food, so goji berries, rich in zeaxanthin, are your best choice!
Another important nutritional component in goji berries is Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides (LBP), which are crucial for maintaining a healthy gut environment. One way external substances enter the body is through intestinal absorption. Therefore, besides being responsible for digesting food nutrients, the intestines must also block harmful external substances from invading the body. Healthy intestinal cells are tightly arranged, able to block bacteria, allergens, or toxins from entering the intestines. Conversely, unhealthy intestinal cells develop gaps between them, leading to the leakage of harmful substances, which can easily trigger inflammation and indigestion.
Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharides help maintain the balance of intestinal flora and promote the production of short-chain fatty acids. Short-chain fatty acids are nutrients needed by intestinal cells. They keep intestinal cells plump and tightly arranged, building a strong barrier to prevent harmful external substances from invading and affecting bodily health.
YL meticulously selects fresh, high-quality Ningxia goji berries, concentrating their nutritional value into every drop of Ningxia Red, making it the first line of defense for your body's health. Ningxia Red also adds various "superfruits" and citrus essential oils containing natural limonene, enhancing the taste and flavor, making the nutrition more comprehensive and rich, and bioavailable while providing powerful antioxidant benefits.

Raindrop - We will be hosting a local Raindrop Class in March, stay tuned for the Invite!
Have you tried a Young Living Raindrop Technique yet? Let me know if you have tried it and if you love it!  
If not, you need to!  My daughter started giving them to us when she was 10 years old.  Yes, anyone can do it.  You can purchase the Young Living Raindrop kit that comes with a dvd and paper instructions on how to do it.  My daughter would lay us on the floor or bed and apply the oils while she followed the dvd.  It is so soothing and relaxing.  Even if you cannot purchase the kit (say its out of stock at times, you can buy the bottles of oils individually and watch a full version of the Raindrop on You Tube.  There is one that has Gary Young doing the technique at a class and the information about the oils and what they do in the body is worth watching every minute of it.  Here is Video One to check out:  https://youtu.be/V66wbgHNUY8?si=BEBAIPldISj9Ozp
If you cannot have someone with you to administer the Raindrop to you, take advantage of the Raindrop in a bottle!  Great for singles, or people who travel a lot! 
Raindrop technique is a powerful technique using essential oils that was developed by D. Gary Young in the 1980s. It combines several modalities to bring balance and transformation. It also supports body systems on a physical and emotionally level.
The most amazing thing about Raindrop is that all of my clients measure taller (lengthened) after just one session! Yeah!
What is Raindrop Technique?
This technique involves applying therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine, neck and feet. The session lasts about an hour however the benefits may last up to a week or more.
Gary found that combining several holistic techniques, described below, created a synergistic effect for the body. The three modalities that combine to form Raindrop Technique are:
Aromatherapy – Raindrop technique uses seven single essential oils, two blends and one essential oil massage blend during the session. It is congruent with the French application of aromatherapy where essential oils are applied NEAT (undiluted) to the body.
Vita Flex Technique – Vita Flex was brought to the US in the 1920s by Stanley Burroughs. It is an ancient Tibetan methodology meaning "vitality through the reflexes". Its theory is based on the fact that slight pressure applied to the body creates an electric charge that is therapeutic to the body. This is known as piezoelectric.
What are the Benefits of Raindrop Technique?
There are numerous benefits of the Raindrop Technique. Here are just a few:
Balance and Re-align the Energy Centers of the Body – The combination of techniques brings electrical and structural alignment to the body. The essential oil blend of Valor helps the body align and is often referred to as "chiropractor in the bottle".
Non-Manipulative Technique – No manipulation as in chiropractic is performed. The oils help support the body to come back into harmony by opening energy flow throughout the body.
Reduce Stress and tension  - Not only can the oils enhance positive emotions such as joy and happiness, but they can also help us release negative emotions that are subconsciously stored on a cellular level
Aid the Body's Natural Response to Irritation and Injury – Thyme and Oregano support the immune, respiratory, nervous, and other body systems*. They are strong antioxidants.
Eases Muscle Discomfort after Exercise – Muscles that are tense and in minor discomfort due to exercise will also benefit. Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress and Peppermint essential oils may reduce tension. See the section on oils for muscles for more information!
Support Healthy Immune System – Thyme and Oregano essential oils support a healthy immune system*.
Emotional Well Being and Release – Essential oils effect the limbic system where emotions are stored in the "brain's emotional computer".
Help Detox the Body Systems – The oils that are high in phenols may cleanse cellular receptor sites and enhance cleansing of the body.
And many more!
What Essential Oils are used in the Raindrop Technique?

Essential oils are actually dropped from about 6 inches above your spine, simulating rain drops! It feels like a rain drop gently striking your spine, and it is very relaxing and comforting.
It is thought that the oils interact with a person's electric field before even penetrating the skin of the back. Thereby, enhancing the electromagnetic properties of the oils as well. Amazing!


Alkalime is another great product!   Do you struggle with heartburn?  I have never had heartburn until the last year when I eat tomatoes which I adore and grow hundreds of them.  It is impossible for me not to eat them so I started taking Alkalime and BAM, the burn is gone within minutes of taking it  Do you need to balance your PH?  Alkalime comes in powder and It also comes in handy single packets for once a day use or easy travel.  
I never leave home without this baby. These little travel packets make it very convenient to stay healthy! AlkaLime is very much like an electrolyte drink minus ALL the sugar that you see in so many other drinks
Little fun fact for you ... Did you know that the 7 major electrolytes your body needs are sodium, chloride, potassium, magnesium, calcium, phosphate, and bicarbonate?
What’s the big deal about electrolytes?
They are essential minerals in your body that are necessary for nerve and muscle function, the body-fluid balance and other critical processes.  The balance of electrolytes is constantly shifting due to fluctuating fluid levels in your body. For example, when you sweat as a result of exercise, hot weather or illness, some electrolyte levels may be low.  You must replenish these fluids and electrolytes in order to prevent dehydration.  Many people with an imbalance also experience muscle spasms and leg cramping, especially at night!  
Is this speaking to anyone?? 
In walks ALKALIME!!
Simply add a teaspoon of the powder into 4–6 ounces of water, mix thoroughly and drink immediately. 
Here’s what this jewel is loaded with:
  Calcium
  Sodium
  Potassium 
  Magnesium
  Lemon fruit powder
  Lemon essential oil
  Lime essential oil
  Tartaric acid
  Citric acid
  Stevia leaf extract
So why do I take this every day EVEN when I travel?
AlkaLime regulates acid in the digestive system and stabilizes pH levels in the body.  
Why does your pH levels get out of whack?  Because life is full of emotions and food! 
Make sure you just add a tiny bit of water at first or use a tall glass when stirring this up or else you might experience an AlkaLime volcano!  Be ready to sip quickly!
“No disease can exist in an alkaline environment” - Dr. Otto Warburg, 1931 Nobel Prize winner

If your goal this year is to get better sleep, turn off your cell phone two hours before bedtime and leave it in the hallway and pick one oil to apply or diffuse nightly and see how much improvement you see.  I guarantee it.  Orange, Cedarwood and Lavender are the most inexpensive sleep oils to start with!  You will love your new "consistent' routine!

Do you need to work on your emotional state of mind?  This past year I was in such a funk.  Exhausted from all that is going on in the world.  I started out 2025 with the oil "Transformation" because I just felt stuck.  I used it daily, on the back of my neck like perfume and saw such a dramatic shift in my thinking.  Have your tried Motivation?  Harmony?  Forgiveness?  We have many oils used for those stuck emotional patterns we get into.  Pick one and use it daily until the bottle is gone.  Email me the changes you see and I will send you a free gift!  Really, they work!!!

If you would like assistance with product usage or would like to have a free personal health consultation, or help with inviting guests over to learn and discuss the benefits of the products you love, please reach out.  We are here to help you enjoy a healthy lifestyle with your Young Living account!  If you would like us to come to your home either virtually or in person to teach a class on the benefits of Young Living oils while you earn a thank you check for sharing with friends and family, let us know.  We would be happy to help you provide for your family!

Young Living Stocking Stuffers, new Penguin Diffuser and more!
You are receiving this email because you are part of our Young Living Organization.  You were signed up by one of our amazing leaders and were added here for tips on how to use your products!  This is for educational purposes only, this is not a solicitation.  

December has arrived with a snowy bang for us here in Southern Wisconsin.  We have had more snow here in the past two weeks than we had all of last winter!  I know I am not the norm, but I love the quiet and slowness of winter.  The cold weather and warm food are part of what makes it magical.    

“Kindness is like snow – it beautifies everything it covers.”
– Kahlil Gibran

We hope you have a wonderful Christmas season!  Enjoy some of the treats but make sure to continue to focus on healthy food choices, good sleep and peaceful engagements.  Oil up buttercup!  


Here is one of my favorite recipes that is so fun to make around the holidays.  You can use GF flour or regular.  It was served to us 8 kids by my mom when we were young.  We thought it was a fancy treat as it puffed up in the oven and looked like a magic trick.  In all honesty, she probably made it as a way to make the grocery bill stretch feeding so many of us.  We sprinkled it with powdered sugar but since I do not eat processed sugar anymore, pure maple syrup has been just as good.  Let me know if you try it!  



#YLTip Add a small drop of Christmas Spirit to your envelopes this year to give your cards extra festive cheer!

Thieves Cough Drops Rebrand - I know they are expensive, so use your points to grab two bags to keep on hand when the coughing starts and you need life to continue.  They work, and they are worth every dime!  Really!  
Thieves Cough Drops and the full Thieves product line were recently spotlighted on The Kelly Clarkson Show’s Holiday Product Guide—a major national moment for Young Living and our community.

This feature was secured through Young Living's long-standing relationship with the show’s team, and we’re proud to say that no paid placement was involved. It’s a genuine recognition of the quality, legacy, and trust behind Thieves.

Benefit of being on Loyalty 
These are all the free items given this year in 2025.  
Every year people ask me how I have such an abundance of product and this is why.  I order what supplements and oils I use monthly and get all these freebies to stock or to try if it’s new to me.  
Our oils don’t expire so it creates an abundance.  
Are you taking advantage of Loyalty?



Have you ever thought of purchasing a starter kit and gifting each of the oils to a different person in your life?  Its an inexpensive way to share the gift of health for the people you love.  AND, if they come back and want more, you can sign them up under you and create an income to pay for a car payment to replacing your income.  All while working from home.  Its a beautiful thing.  



Have you seen our new Penguin Diffuser?  He is so adorable for a little one in your life, or, well even the adult in your life that loves Penguins.  Our kids diffusers go through 300 drop tests to make sure they can handle all the little hands that may want to reach out for a hug.  


Do you need a few stocking stuffer ideas?  Don't grab another meaningless gift that will be set aside.  Giving an oil that will help soothe their aching muscles, calm an overactive brain, settle their upset tummy issues, calm that nervous tension or lower that blood pressure and more.  Split the kit and give a gift of health to those you love!

Facts about Young Living Sacred Frankincense you may not know.....
Do you know that Young Living oils are safe for babies and pets too?  All kinds of pets like horses and cats and dogs and yes even goats and cows and then some.
My grand-babies have been slathered with oils, all kinds and many drops since the moment they breathed their first breath.  Yep, I was present at their births in their homes and we put Frankincense on them the minute they were born!  (Literally).  
Why you ask?  
Because Frankincense is the #1 oil for emotional trauma. (It’s traumatic being born) Yep, if you have experienced trauma of any kind, use it daily on the back of your brain stem or on your feet if you don’t like the smell. Do it consistently and daily for a period of several months, just one or two drops and watch what happens to your thinking!  Really! 
It’s also incredible for your immune system.  It’s like having your immune system super charged so yeah, use a drop under your tongue or behind your ears daily as prevention or use several drops when it’s really needed.  
It’s also beautiful for respiratory support.  Y’all get Frankincense in your kit when you start out so drops 3-4 drops on your chest when it needs support every hour with your little bottle of Raven and be amazed.  Consistency is key when your immune system is down.   
It’s also beautiful for your bones!!!  It’s one of the oils you want to go to  when you have a mishap and your bones need support and attention, especially bruising.   
Do you also know that Frankincense has been known for thousands, yes thousands of years, for beauty and skin and an ageless look?   Yep.  It is incredible for those of us who like to age gracefully without a lot of lines or markings on our face!  Put a drop in your moisturizer daily as you apply it to your face and see how many compliments you get after a while!  
It  helps with cellular integrity.   Yep.  You can look that one up in pubmed.gov and there is lots of studies on it with YL Sacred Frankincense.  Only ours is used in those studies.  
It’s also great for when mishaps happen in life, severe or minor and your skin needs some attention.  Yeah, like when I cut my wrist on sheet metal and ummmmm, that was not so fun but Frankincense and Helichrysum was my friend ever hour for a week.  Yes sir, it works 
Young Living is the only, yes ONLY company that is allowed to have Sacred Frankincense from Oman because of the tireless work Gary Young did to form a relationship with the Sultan (yep that is true) and his travels to there 15 times + to be able to build a distillery there and empower the locals the help us with this treasured oil.  There is a whole book about it, and me!    It’s amazing.  If you see this oil anywhere else, it’s a fake!   
It’s also good for babies, before they are born when you rub it on your belly and after they are born and when they are crying and when they are happy and when they are toddlers and teething and when they are confused middle schoolers and especially when they are angry teens to confident college bound, to middle age to old age and I even slathered my brother with Frankincense hours before he died because in the Bible it’s a holy anointing oil.  It’s amazing through all stages of life!  
It’s also wonderful to calm you.  Yes.  Emotional calm, does anyone need that? It’s my number one oil for me for that!  
It’s also amazing for your eyes.  Yes put a drop around the bony part of each eye daily and just be lovely and see your results after a few weeks.  Consistency is key always when you want to experience change.  
So it does so much more but check out Sacred Frankincense in your desk reference because it’s aaaahhhhhmazing!

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.

Young Living gut health, Christmas Spirit and Seed to Seal!

Young Living gut health, Christmas Spirit and Seed to Seal!
You are receiving this because you are part of our Young Living organization.  This is for education purposes, this is not a solicitation.  

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! 😂
She’s pretty possessive 😉

Luna & her YL tube


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.  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. Link here:  https://youtu.be/-y3im1fYf7A?si=yoKM18zxLIwY0Sqa

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.  If your kids or grandkids get into your cleaning cabinet and accidently get into your Thieves cleaner, don’t fret and no need to call poison control.  

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.

Young Living Holiday products have launched!

Young Living Holiday products have launched!
You are receiving this email because you are part of our Young Living group!  This is for educational purposes only, this is not a solicitation.  

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! 



Have you tried our Young Living Lip Balm?  It is the best out there on the market, guaranteed!  


The best $4.25 you will ever spend.  I don’t get chapped lips but I do get these gems for all the below: 

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.....❤️❤️❤️

Unlike petroleum-based balms or synthetically flavored versions, these are powered by plant oils and essential oils that love your lips back.

✨ Silky, melt-into-your-lips hydration

Item #49880 | $13.50 | 7PV (for the set) 
One-Time Order Only
No Limits



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!

Welcome!  It is my pleasure to share my story with you and welcome you to the incredible world of Young Living Essential Oils.  
My family consists of myself and my children some of whom have already started their own families.  We started our oily journey about 14 years ago at a time in our life when we desperately needed some calm and Joy!  Have you ever been there?    A friend of mine had invited me to a class to learn about these oils and I wasn't quite sure what to expect but I just knew that my biggest need at the time was to calm some hurting hearts after some major emotional upsets in our home and family life.  Lots of loss and trauma left us with many emotional scars.  The first oil I was introduced to was the oil of "Joy" and it truly just changed the temperature in our home.  Kids were smiling more, laughing more and loosening up!  As a mom, I loved seeing those changes so I continued to investigate and dug in deep to researching all I could about Young Living  oils and the amazing benefits that they could have on our physical, emotional and spiritual well being!  We have never looked back!  I started sharing how these products were so life changing with everyone I could tell, because I wanted my friends and family to have the same results that I was having!  Who doesn't want to share the greatest deal on the pair of shoes you just bought, or the best food at the restaurant that just opened down the street?  We love to help our friends enjoy the great finds that we encounter in life and this is why your here!  Now, not only has our emotional health been improved but our financial health has  had a transformation as well.   I am excited to welcome you to this great  find that has changed my family's life forever!
