Warm weather is upon us in Southern Wisconsin, and all the flowers are in bloom and the grass is finally green. We hope you have some wonderful plans for the summer with friends and family.
"Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability" - Sam Keen
If you are local to the Southern Wisconsin or Northern Illinois area, please join us for one of our two June gatherings! We will be hosting a Sip and Sniff class providing an Itovi Scan, breakfast or light dinner and fun desserts while we sip summer mocktails, and enjoy sniffing and sampling essential oils and learning what they do in the body at a cellular level! $10 registration fee includes meal, drinks and itovi scan.

We can't wait to see you!
There are a lot of emotions swirling through life right now. Everyone has a lot on their plate and the need for emotional balance and calm is ever present. Young Living has so many options for emotional calm for anxiety and restlessness. I can give you countless oils to use with great results. But today, since I see this beautiful plant outside my kitchen window in my garden, lets chat about Roman Chamomile!!! I personally used Roman Chamomile during a dental and medical procedure with no anesthetic. It worked so well for me. I am not telling anyone else to do it but it has incredible properties that many people don't talk about. We again, grow it in our garden and it provides a years worth of tea because it just keeps on giving.
When people think of Roman Chamomile, they often think “sleep.” And yes, this tiny flower is a gentle giant when it comes to supporting deep rest.
Did you know? Gardeners once planted it near sick or struggling plants.
Why? Because it had a reputation as the “Plant’s Physician.” Somehow, it would revive neighboring plants, helping them bounce back stronger.
Hmmm?? Does that sound like the kind of friend we all need?
Roman Chamomile has a story rooted in resilience, royalty, and regeneration. It’s a plant that’s soothed emperors, revived entire gardens, and still offers peace to overwhelmed nervous systems.
It’s been whispered through centuries that this little daisy-shaped flower holds not just medicinal properties but emotional wisdom.
This is one of the gentlest oils you’ll find, making it suitable even for littles.
Top uses:
Apply to soles of the feet before bed (kids love this too!)
Add a drop to unscented lotion for skin that’s cranky or reactive
Diffuse with Lavender and Orange for a calming, uplifting blend
Mix with carrier oil and apply over the heart during emotional moments
We live in a fast paced world, but Roman Chamomile invites us to slow down, breathe deeper, and remember that peace isn’t passive. It’s a choice. A practice. A path.
So the next time your nerves feel frayed, or your sleep feels scattered, reach for the oil that’s been trusted for millennia. Let its soft scent remind you of what’s eternal.
Young Living's Roman Chamomile is a must-have for every home.With Young Living’s Seed to Seal promise, you can rest assured plants have been harvested with care and bottled for those of us who are walking a modern path but still crave ancient wisdom.

June is known for celebrating Father's Day as well as the start of summer. Not all of us have our fathers here with us, myself included and my kids lost their dad when they were very young so its a tender subject for many. But if you have a father, a brother, a teenage or older son or favorite uncle in your life that is struggling with just being present, feeling strong, or feeling like they are not able to conquer all the things that men need to accomplish in a day, whether its working outside on a truck or working in an office, essential oils can play an active part in the health of the men in your life. From our supplements like Cardiogize for heart and blood sugar support, to Shutran for hormonal balance as they age, beard oil to allow them to have a great beard and smell amazing with no harmful chemicals, to using Idaho Blue Spruce oil for increasing healthy testosterone levels, the oils work. I met my current husband at an oil class that I was hosting. over 10 years ago now. He had been using essential oils for many years prior to even meeting me and loved them as a tool to take care of his health and especially for emotional calm when life got stressful. He works a very physically demanding job building booths in Chicago and always has Digize in his lunch box in case he has digestive upset, Clove in case all the guys there are coughing and sneezing and always RC for his sinus' no matter what time of year it is because the dust and debris and germs he is exposed to there is exponential. Oils are not just for the ladies!
Have you experienced hard situations in life that have left a scar on you emotionally? I had an appointment a couple years ago and I was in a town I had not visited or had much experience with since I have lived up in this area. (34 years) I was driving down the road and realized I was smack dab in front of a hospital that I have not seen in 29 years! This hospital is where they brought my husband when he fell 20 feet from a ladder while painting our home about 29 years ago. That was the one and only time I was in this town and at this hospital. This is where he was pronounced dead and when I looked around the area, I was immediately brought back to the day when I found out and had to drive those roads back to tell our children that he was not coming home that day. Something no one wants to do. The flood of emotions that I felt when I just saw this hospital shook me! I was very surprised at the emotion that came over me just by looking at this building that I have not seen in almost three decades. Obviously it is something I have not worked through emotionally. So what does a girl do??? Use this beautiful oil here! Release is a blend of oils that helps support a healthy liver and helps us work through and process the emotions that go along with negative experiences we go through in Add a few drops over your liver daily! When you come upon this situation, grab this amazing blend and apply it and sniff it to help your body work through these emotions from times long ago! Remember, emotions that are not dealt with get stored in our organs and if left without working through it, can cause disease later in life! Choose health!
Fun fact, the image of this bottle of Release Blend is an old label design back from when I started YL 14 years ago! The oil is still the same and still one of my favorites for aiding the body and liver in working through difficult emotions.
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 grandbabies (13 to date, soon to be 14) have been slathered with oils, all kinds and many drops since the moment they breathed their first breath. Yep, For many I was present at their births mostly 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 any 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 receive Frankincense in your Premium Starter kit when you start out with Young Living so drop 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. The Premium Starter Kit can be ordered even after your a customer, so if you need an inexpensive way to restock your oils and get a free diffuser, grab yourself one, its a steal of a deal at $165 for a diffuser and 12 oils!
Frankincense is also beautiful for your bones!!! It’s one of your go toos when you have a mishap and your bones need support and attention.
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 wrinkles! 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 hourly 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 thats 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! 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 in 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 that I personall use 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!
AminoWise is an amino acid drink that helps crush your summer workout goals by replenishing minerals and muscle recovery.
Copaiba is one of our favorite oils in our house. We always try to have two on hand if possible. We use this in place of any over the counter pain meds and for digestive upset if we run out of Peppermint. 9 drops of Copaiba in a capsule and we feel relief. Our "discomfort bomb" that we have used for years and years for after surgeries or major injuries is a combination of 5 drops Copaiba, 5 drops Frankincense, 5 drops Idaho Grand Fir or Believe oil and 2 drops Clove in a capsule every 4 hours or as needed. Its been an incredible life saver not only for my own family but for thousands of Young Living members who enjoy this recipe.
My husband and I also both have had miniscus tears and so we make a well known knee blend with Copaiba, Lemongrass and Palo Santo. Let me know if you want the recipe, we also have it posted on our private members Facebook group. Its mixed with coconut oil and rubbed on daily. I could not go a day without it honestly. And it is also great for some intimate fun....wink, wink!!!!
Tea Tree is wonderful to create a hostile environment for fungal and infections. Its wonderful for acne prone skin and beautiful hair. It also helps keep the bugs away during the summer. Its got so many cleansing properties that it makes for an incredible oil on hand to keep for emergencies. It smells good in the diffuser with Lime too, to cleanse the air.

Do you love your liver? Young Living has just come out with two new products to help us detox and keep our liver healthy! We have long had our Juva products to help us keep our liver in tip top shape but these two new products are easy to use and takes the confusion out of your daily liver support.
Our liver is so taxed these days. It’s important to support it naturally so it can function optimally. Do you have an Essential Oil Desk Reference? It has an entire chapter on liver health. Grab a cup of Dandy Blend (coffee alternative that is made from Dandelion and Chickory Root that is a gentle daily liver support drink that really does taste like coffee) and take a moment to read up in your reference about liver health.
Our liver is what filters all the toxins out of our body. When it is overloaded with toxins that we are exposed too as in chemical laiden lotions, soaps, hair spray, makeup, perfumes, air fresheners, chemicals in our food, our water systems, medicine and sugars it will no longer function as it was designed.
Signs of a fatigued liver:
Low energy
• Indigestion, bloating, diarrhoea or constipation
• Concerns of high cholesterol
• Foggy thinking
• Weight gain
• Stiff, achey weak muscles,
• Concerns about blood sugar
A healthy liver keeps you nourished, energised, strong, active and toxin free. And yet the liver is the most underappreciated organ in the body, and when you are suffering from health issues your liver probably plays a big part in the problem.
The liver purifies your blood of dangerous toxins from the breakdown of food, air and water because if the toxins remained in your blood for any length of time, you would start to feel very ill very quickly.
It emulsifies fats with the bile it produces.
It regulates your cholesterol levels by getting rid of the excess cholesterol naturally, so that the bad cholesterol and triglycerides won’t shoot through the roof. Your arteries remain clear and clog free.
The liver regulates your blood sugar, by storing sugar so that your blood sugar does not go too high or too low. Then it energises your body by releasing sugar and fat molecules that are your 2 main sources of fuel.
It promotes healthy hormone balance by putting triglycerides to work. Fatty triglycerides are what your body uses to make testosterone and oestrogen.
It boots your immune system by storing lymphocytes and killer cells to protect you against dangerous invaders, and heals wounds by making the clotting factors in your blood. The body can then very quickly start the healing process.
The liver nourishes your body. Yes, it is your liver, not your stomach that nourishes your body. It collects nutrients from your food and supplements and distributes them around the body to your organs and cells so you stay healthy from head to toe.
Your liver performs more than 500 critical biological functions, makes more than 1300 beneficial chemicals and hormones, manages more than 50,000 enzymes and compounds that you need for good health, processes everything you eat and drink and purifies your blood of dangerous toxins.
(Wyndam Health)
Choose which one is best for you! Take care of the body parts you have, it’s more costly to replace them later than it is to support them and care for them now!

Have outdoor bugs left you frustrated and itchy? Grab yourself Young Living bug spray and a spray bottle from Amazon and keep your family big free and healthy all summer long.
I actually found this a little difficult to use when it first came out but then one of our wonderful, savvy leaders, Kyla M posted a pic of the spray bottle she got from Amazon and diluted this with witchhazel and I fell in LOVE!!!!! It sprays on so beautifully and works so well. It’s a win win for your entire family and I no longer have to mix oils to make my own, although that worked for years!
For all your Memorial Day needs! Safe for babies and kids, pets and adults!!!
First up: INSECT REPELLANT!
🚫🕷🐜🐞🐝🐛
Ingredients: sesame oil, citronella oil, lemongrass oil, rosemary oil, thyme oil, clove oil, and vitamin E
FUN FACTS & TALKING POINTS🤓:
-hypoallergenic
-DEET free🙌
-NO parabans, fillers, phthalates, sulfates, or petro-chemicals🙌
-NO synthetic fragrances/dyes/colorants🙌
-100% plant based (NO animal-derived ingredients!)🌿
-clinically tested for efficacy
-proven efficacy for mosquitoes
-shown to be 30% more efficacious than the top selling natural insect repellent!👏
This insect repellent was only tested on humans because humans are the ones using it! (🤔hmm.. that makes sense...)
Instead of having an insect repellent that I know will harm my health every time I use it, I have one that is completely safe and is actually giving me extra benefits (of each essential oil in it) every single time I use it!
Now that is pretty cool😎👍
Parasites anyone? I love this product. It supports a healthy gut while ditching the little buggers that don’t belong. It’s good for dogs too! We have used it.
It’s a large bottle so it’s great to keep on hand. Even after doing the protocol for it, you have enough to store for another time if needed. It’s a great bang for your buck!
ParaFree!
Do you need some additional digestive support, especially from traveling out the country or eating some sketchy food? Unwashed fruits and veggies? Meat that is poorly raised and not so fresh? Seafood where your not so sure how fresh it is?
This is a must have if you travel a lot and take risks when eating! This product is not only amazing for humans, but it's great for dogs too that need that extra digestive support! DiGize essential oil is its lighter companion and this is like pulling out the big guns! Parasites be gone 🙌
Check out your desk reference, you will be amazed at what this product can do! Do not take if your pregnant as there are some powerful gut oils included in this gel cap! It is made to be taken for 21 days cycles to make sure the support has been given thoroughly!
Heartburn anyone? I have only experienced heartburn during one of my pregnancies and it was not fun. But now, sadly, I get it everytime I eat tomatoes. Especially since we just planted 8 tomato plants! Yikes! I love to eat them off of the vine like an apple. My husband teases me about this!
Alkalime has been known to help with this and I have been taking one a day and it’s been a life saver. You can take up to 3 packets a day if needed but one is doing it for me. It does bubble up so add to your water slowly!!!!!! I learned the hard way!
Give it a try and let me know your thoughts! As with all supplements, Young Living or not, trying anything for a week will not give you a good picture of its efficacy. Using a supplement for 3 months, consistently, gives it a good solid try and you will have more a more accurate test to see how it works for you.
Remember, health is a choice, a lifestyle! A shift in mindset and actions will always reap results. Eating a salad once a month will not make you healthy. Working out once a week will not transform your body. Consistency and being intensional will always lead to success!
May 22nd and 23rd Young Living is unveiling a few new surprises for Spring. Get their text notifications or check out my Monday educational emails through your account that will keep you updated!
If you need further assistance with your account, product usage, sharing the products you love for residual income or would like to have a gathering at your home for us to teach your friends and family how to stay healthy, please reach out.

April showers bring May flowers. We have had some 80 degree days here in southern Wisconsin. A little early for late April, early May but our garden seeds are loving the warmth if nothing else.

With so much uncertainty in the world around us, we are going to get serious about some important facts about pure Essential Oils. (We are not talking about the cheap knock-offs). With so many catastrophic events happening with the weather, it brings much uncertainty. One thing I do not worry about is how we care for our health because we have relied on Young Living for 14 years now to do all the things in our home. We do not buy over the counter items for our health, we don't buy commercial cleaners, we know where and how our vitamins are sourced and so I am going to share with you all the goodness so you can gain some knowledge and make the choices that are best for your family.
Why do we need a list of oils and products that are best to have on hand for an emergency kit? First and foremost, because Young Living oils do not expire. We can keep them on a shelf, in a drawer, in a box, or in an emergency backpack and they will be there, as powerful as ever, even if its 25+ years from now. Yes, I have a couple oils from when I first started Young Living 14 years ago and I use them sparingly and for very specific uses. They do not loose their potency.
Second, they are very easy to use. I grew up with a mom who used poultices and dried herbs that had a shelf life and that had to be boiled, smashed into a paste or put in capsules. Our Young Living oils are easy to use. Open the bottle and drop them on your spine, on your feet, on the back of your neck, directly onto that oh so aching muscle or put them in a capsule or glass of water. Even if you are not sure where to put them, they absorb and go directly into your bloodstream so they get into your cells and work efficiently even if you put them on your feet for head tension. Its amazing how they just know where to work in the body! They are safe for your brand new babies, for your pets and for you! I have had multiple pets that we used only oils on for their mishaps and 12 grandbabies to date that have all had lots and lots of oils used on them, starting at birth!
Third, they are easy to carry. I have an oil bag for my purse so I always have them at the ready when I am out of the house and I have oils in my hiking backpack too. I carry Peppermint and Purification, RC or Eucalyptus and our vitality electrolyte drops when we hike so I don't have to worry about getting dehydrated or if I get bitten by bugs or snakes, and Peppermint naturally cools off the body internally when applied to the back of the neck and RC opens up your airways when there may be difficulty breathing from pollutants in the air or just exertion. The Eucalyptus, RC or Peppermint are also great for rubbing on your sore aching feet after a long hike or long day at work. Your feet will love you for it!
Lastly, did you know that most essential oils are anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and are anti-inflammatory and so much more. We even have a few that restore nerves and stop bleeding. So many mistake them for just a way to make your home smell good but people who use Young Living daily, use them because they work at the cellular level, they work at resolving the issue that is creating the imbalance in your body instead of most over the counter products that work like bandaids and do not affect the healing of the body and mind.
Did you know that pain is good? I say it all the time in classes and many are shocked but it is true. Pain is the bodies mechanism to tell you that something is out of balance, that you need to stop and pay attention and help find the root cause of what is going on and not to just toss some Advil down the hatch and be content that the pain is gone. You want to take care of "why" you have the pain in the first place.
We do not want Amazon health. Instant gratification does not bring about true health. True health takes time, effort, consistency and intention. True health does not come from cheap food, cheap vitamins and cheap chemicals to clean our homes. We can chat about how to have all this goodness on a budget. There are natural ways to care for your health and clean your home on a very tight budget. When we are out in natural we feel peaceful, rested and refreshed. Nature is designed to bring harmony to the body as we are natural beings. Plants have properties that are imbued in the plants to bring about restoration and healing and since time began, way before the big box stores were invented, nature provided health and healing to those who used it. True health is a way of life. It may take a bit of time to create good eating habits, sleeping habits and using natural methods to address your health challenges, but it is so worth it. Let's chat if you do not know where to start. I would love to walk alongside you as you learn.
Before we get started on our Emergency oils list, One of the oils I want to highlight this month is Juniper. If you have not tried it, its a must have for your home. I actually have had this bottle for years and don't really need to use it often but when its needed, my kidneys love it.
I love having Juniper on hand for healthy gallbladder and liver function 
It helps the kidneys naturally filter more efficently and flush out bacteria Think UTI!
2-3 drops in a capsule daily is wonderful support. It has even more uses listed in the Essential Oil Desk Reference. Message me if you want the link to grab a copy! Its a must have in every home.
The juniper is the classic arid-land tree. Its twisting, often-dead branches seem to epitomize the struggle of life with little water. When moisture is scarce, a juniper will actually stop the flow of fluids to some outer branches so that the tree has a better chance for survival. Scale-covered leaves and bluish, waxy-coated seeds help the tree conserve moisture. Indigenous people have used the bark for torches and as a tobacco substitute, wove it for cloth, and shredded it as an antibacterial diaper material. Yikes!
Do you use dryer sheets?
Dryer sheets are bad for your health, linked to everything from respiratory irritation to hormone disruption and increased cancer risk.
The fragrances and VOCs released from dryer vents can irritate the eyes, throat, and lungs. Acetaldehyde and other compounds act as respiratory irritants. Fragrances contain potentially hazardous chemicals that can exacerbate asthma.
Studies show breathing in fragranced laundry product emissions can trigger headaches, especially in sensitive individuals. Exact mechanisms are unknown but are likely due to irritant effects and scent compounds.
Ingredients like quats and benzyl acetate can irritate and dry out sensitive skin with repeated direct contact. Fragrances also contain potential skin allergens
Certain chemicals found in fragrances have exhibited hormone or endocrine disrupting effects in laboratory studies, even at very low levels.
Compounds like benzene, chloroform, and acetaldehyde are known or suspected carcinogens that can be released from dryer vents or linger on clothes. Links between dryer sheets and cancer risk need further study.
To no only save money but to avoid all of the above effects of dryer sheets, here is a recipe for DIY dryer sheets! Easy to make and white vinegar has been used for decades to soften clothes. I have used it for years and as someone who hates the smell of vinegar, it DOES NOT make your clothes smell like vinegar but it does get them oh so soft without the harm of commercial dryer sheets.
Since the weather has been so oddly warm and the bugs and bees are already in full swing here in Wisconsin, Here is a great 
DIY Bug Repel
In a 4 oz spray bottle, add 10 drops each of citronella, lavender, and tea tree oil! Add a splash of unscented witch hazel, and top with water! No bad ingredients, chemicals, or deet, and I know exactly what's in it. That's a win in my book
Great for both you and your babies! Not only are these oils great to use for outdoor enjoyment without the bugs, they can also be used for tummy upset (Citronella- who knew) Sleep and seasonal irritations (Lavender) and fungal and bacterial issues (Tea Tree)! Have I said that essential oil are multi-taskers? I will keep repeating it, so you can hear it in the back!!!
Now to our list of go to oils for emergencies and their uses! All of our oils are multi-taskers so they do more than a multitude of things for the body so if you don't have one oil, there is always another oil that can do the same action.
My husband is currently recovering from eye surgery. As a family, we always use 5 drops each of Copaiba, Frankincense, Idaho Grand Fir and Clove in a capsule every 4 hours or as needed for after a surgery or major wound that needs pain meds. We ran out of Idaho Grand Fir so its easily replaced with Believe oil or Idaho Blue Spruce, or even Abundance or Transformation. I love how versatile our oils are.
Red Cedar Bliss - Its a new oil created by YL in 2020. This mixed with Rosemary in capsules 3x a day was the only thing that rid myself and my hubby of a pasty white slime that seem to be coming from our lungs last winter. It also supports a healthy heart. It worked quickly and effeciently.
Cedarwood - Sleep, bug repellent and brain support
Peppermint - pain, muscle aches, digestion and inflammation
Ylang Ylang - helps support the heart and lowers blood pressure
Lavender - Sleep, fungal issues, skin irritations, seasonal allergies, wounds
Eucalyptus - muscle aches, brings oxygen to the lungs, discomfort
Helichrysum - stops bleeding, restores nerves and tissues, wounds
Cypress and Juniper - helps remove excess water from the body, helps with discomfort
Frankincense - wounds, eyes, anxiety, pain, and is my #1 oil I would have if I could only have one
Lemon - is great to add to water or in a capsule to help the immune and lymphatic systems
Clove or Thieves - are powerful anti-bacterial oils that is great to put in capsules or on the bottom of the feet (because they are hot oils) and they help fight infection.
Oregano - infections and sinus'
Melrose - Infections and sinus'
T-Away - This is one of our oil from our Pet line but its great to use on people too. For $19.00, I have started to use it on my husbands back as part of the Raindrop when he is uncomfortable, not feeling well, or after a long day at work
Digize - All things stomach upset, food poisoning, bloating, gassy babies, and when eating of the country is a must
Wintergreen - all things discomfort - it can lower your blood pressure so remember that if you are on meds
PanAway - for muscles and nerves and all things pain
Young Living Multi-greens for daily smoothe moves if you know what I mean!!!!!
Essentialzymes - We all need help digesting our food and I have tried all the enzymes out there and Young Living has the best
Sulfurzyme - helps your body increase its glutathione levels to help your body naturally detox and its amazing for joints, allergies, hair, skin and nails. Its an amazing supplement that you will not want to be without
Orange and Stress Away for Stress and Sleep and Calm when things are intense
Marjoram for muscles
Copaiba - inflammation and digestion
Animal Scents Ointment for a salve for wound care, skin issues - its not just for pets! Thousands use it for their family and pets with great success, our family included
A few other easy things to have on hand to work with your natural methods:
Rubbing Alcohol - Sanitizing
Peroxide - Wound cleaning
Charcoal Tablets - A must have for food poisoning or when you have drank a little too much
Cayanne Pepper - put in a warm cup of water and honey to lower blood pressure or to add to several meals a day. We put it on eggs daily!

Check out my latest video on "Dealing with difficult emotions and stress". I hope it blesses you: https://youtu.be/5EdbIqzK5N4?si=0lAiGyp3pGGmy42s
Many are experiencing tough times in the world right now for so many different reasons. I raised my kids almost solely as a single parent after being widowed until getting remarried 4 years ago. I not only learned how to keep my kids and myself healthy with our Young Living products, I was constantly looking for ways to do it on a budget especially before Young Living became my full time income. I wanted to share how to use the top single oils that are under $25 dollars to get the best bang for your buck and to get the benefits of some of the most powerful oils you can get your hands on. I have shared before that I got started with Young Living because I needed something to assist with my middle daughter after she was struggling mentally after her older sister died tragically. I did not want to medicate her, but was at a loss as to what to do. I attended a Young Living class at a friends home and she shared the uses of the oils. I started with the oil of Joy and Stress Away which are both great for people struggling emotionally, that are despondent and hopeless, and I witnessed such a big change by having my daughter use it daily, proactively, that I was hooked and dove into a desk reference to see what all the oils can do. My story has been life changing ever since.
But, at that time, I did not have the extra money to buy oils monthly. Zero, Zilch, Nada, for anything extra. But I did have a budget for vitamins so I did a swap of the vitamins I was buying online for Young Living vitamins after having a natropath check the quality of the Young Living vitamins and gave a thumbs up for quality and purity. So I jumped on Loyalty and just ordered my vitamins monthly and received half off on shipping, woohoo, and then with the cash back that I received, I started redeeming it for a free oil, then two and then more. This helped me build my wellness stash and as I started to share Young Living and creating an income, I was able to order more on Loyalty and get the free promotional products that Young Living generously gives us each month on top of redeeming the points I had, $1 for $1 for more free product. Placing an order monthly on Loyalty is never required to have a Young Living account, but with $50 as the minimum to earn points, (10% back for the first three months, 20% back for the next 2 years, and 25% back indefinitely after year 2), and 1/2 off on shipping, it is always the best way to save money. If you are $4.00 away from the $50 minimum, I encourage people to toss a $6 vitality oil on to make the minimum or a Young Living lip balm, the best lip balm that will ever touch your lips, I guarantee!!!
Let's get started with how to use the most inexpensive oils with Young Living. Our oils are grown with our Seed to Seal guarantee. Did you know that Young Living will not purchase land for a farm unless it has not had chemicals used on it for 50 years? Organic status only requires 5 years. We also hand weed on our farms, or use goats. We never use any pesticides or chemicals used to treat the weeds, or to extract more oil from the plants like many commercial oils do. Did you know that the FDA only requires 5% of an oil to be in a bottle of essential oil in order for it to be labeled "pure"? So if you are opting for a cheaper oil, what you pay for is what you get and they can cause harm because of the impurity and the preservatives most companies use. Young Living oils go through rigorous testing and if they don't pass the test for having all the constituents that the plant should have, we do NOT sell our rejected oils, we put them back in the earth.
Ok, I am ready to get started...really! I bet you didn't know.....
15ml of Orange oil ($12.50) Just a few drops is amazing to add to your moisturizer for beautiful skin, 7 drops in a diffuser at bedtime is wonderful for a great nights sleep, several drops can be added to your water for flavor or to a vanilla milk shake for a creamsicle flair, and one of its super powers is emotionally calming on a budget! The smell of this oil makes me smile!
15ml of Cedarwood ($13.00) is the brainpower that we all need daily. Its wonderful for adults and kids alike that have a hard time sitting still, focusing their brain. Put it in a roller ball to help the child that cannot get it all together. It also helps with all the teen facial breakouts and it is the bomb for a deep good nights sleep. It pulls you into sleep and you won't know what hit you. Love on your brain and grab a bottle. We order it monthly to never run out.
15ml of Lemongrass ($13.00) has historically been used for purifying (think all the odors) and digestion. It is wonderful to put in a capsule to help with digestive upset but my husband and I make a knee blend for our aging knees with Palo Santo, Copaiba, and Lemongrass and oh man is it soothing and helps us walk freely without discomfort. It is wonderful for all the muscles and I regularly put it on my husbands back when he has a hard day at work to soothe the system. It loves to support a healthy bladder and those nasty sinus irritations!
15ml of Lemon ($13.00) Let's just think focus and energy and immune goodness. Did you know there are studies out there by colleges that show that Lemon oil diffused during testing resulted in higher test scores by up to 50%? It helps you retain information because its a wake up call for your brain and energizing to the mind. It is great to diffuse in the morning when you need your family to wake up and get moving for the day and during homework time after school. Just do not diffuse it for bedtime!!!! When taken internally it helps with lymphatic cleansing and it boosts your immune system. I regularly use a few drops in my water to make it taste better and love on my digestive system.
5ml of Lavender vitality ($13.50) Did you know our Vitality labels are the same pure oils as in their colored labels but they are only in 5 ml bottles and labeled for internal use so we can satisfy gov regulations? The government agency came out and told us in 2014 that we cannot label internal use and topical use on the same label so we created vitality to satisfy this requirement even though its the same oil in both bottles. This is the same oil as the 15ml Lavender for all the beautiful reasons we use Lavender. Its been known as the Swiss Army knife of essential oils for decades. It does it all; sleep, owie care, bug bite butter and deterrent, calms the emotions and helps soothe sun kissed skin. Best of all, when added to Lemon and Peppermint in a capsule, it helps all the seasonal irritations that many go through in the spring and fall with the itchy, water eyes, sniffles and sneezes.
15ml of Lime ($14.00) Its a party in your guacamole when you don't have limes in the house! It is wonderful and so inexpensive to diffuse for happy emotions, supporting your respiratory system so you can breathe easy on the cheap! It helps boost your immune system so it can fight all the things.
15ml of Eucalyptus Globulus ($16.50) Do you like to breathe? Do you have sore feet at the end of the day? My husband applies this to his chest daily, before going to work where he works with lots of dust, debri in the air, and lots of construction guys who sneeze, cough and spit. This oil loves on your lungs but guess what? I also apply it to his feet and spine when he gets home from work to soothe his aching muscles and feet. He says it provides immediate relief! Its not just for lungs!
15 ml of Pine ($17.25) Does anyone remember Pinesol? Well, that was the chemical version of this beautiful oil. This bottle of goodness helps with emotional balance, its cortisone-like, assists with sinus' and bladder support, muscle relaxant and difficulties with lungs. Its wonderful to diffuse, apply on the spine or bottom of your feet. And people will want to be around you, because you will smell like a walk in the forest.
15ml of Clove ($17.75) Think fall scents and the warmth of winter. Every house needs a bottle of Clove. It is a hot oil so keep it to the bottom of your feet or in a capsule for internal use. Think immune system support on steroids. This gem is needed to fight all the things that we come in contact with that we don't want. It is so soothing to diffuse, and helps support a healthy sleep because it calms the mind. It is a natural cleanser and if you don't like the smell, add 5 drops to a capsule to help support your system. You don't want to go a day without having this in your home for emergencies, when you drop under the wellness line, or when your family is driving you crazy and you need some peace of mind.
15ml of Rosemary ($18.00) Do you remember when? Did you forget already? Rosemary is great for your memory!!!!! Apply one drop to your temples daily! It is also liver protective, helps the bodies natural response to inflammation, helps support healthy lungs and I put it in my DIY hair tonic that I spray in my hair daily after my shower for my lovely locks!
15ml of Wintergreen (20.50) This is a great oil that helps one calm down, especially the vascular system!!! Early settlers in America used to have their children chew the leaves each spring for several weeks to help prevent tooth decay. It was also used in place of black tea during the war. Now that our history lesson is over, you need to look this oil up in your desk reference because its got too many amazing uses that we cannot discuss here. Like, when your angry and your blood pressure goes up, Wintergreen would be amazing to apply to the spine or bottom of your feet. Its a beautiful oil and helps assist with stressed and sore muscles and ligaments too. Look it up, really!!!
15ml of Cypress ($22.25) Do you like to drink water? Think of Cypress as the water stealer. It helps remove it when its in excess in the body. Its wonderful to apply to the spine after a long day or to add to some coconut oil and apply to the calves when they are overworked and full. Your circulation will love you for it and so will your liver. It is also part of the Raindrop so your muscles benefit too.
15ml of Citronella ($22.50) Now everyone thinks of bugs when we say Citronella. I get it, that is what it is widely used for, but did you know that it is actually very emotionally calming to the nervous system when diffused or applied to the spine? It is also wonderful to help support a grumbly tummy when applied to the stomach because it loves to help our digestive system. And you can put it in your DIY outdoor spray to keep those nasty bugs and crawlies away!
15ml of Melrose ($22.75) This is another must have. This oil creates a hostile environment to so many things to assist the body in fighting what it needs to get rid of. It especially loves to fight the fun guy, I mean fungi! Its a powerhouse when the body needs extra support and its an amazing blend to have on hand.
15ml of Peppermint ($24.75) This was one of my first oils that I personally used on myself and I still continue to order it every two months. I cannot go without this oil. I love to put 5 drops in a capsule after a meal when I eat something that bothers my sensitive stomach or to add to any body part that has discomfort. From the temples down to the feet. It lowers the bodies temperature when needed, think the bottom of kids feet or the back of the neck on your aunt who is going through the change! It keeps bugs away and especially spiders, yuck. I used to wash my kitchen floors with a drop in the water to keep the crawlies away when I was in a rental while looking for my new home. I use 5-10 drops in my stevia sweetened melted chocolate to make a minty chocolate treat for myself and we have put a drop or two in hot chocolate or just in warm water to help soothe the body when inflammation is getting out of control. This is a must have for every home.
The $25 and under marathon is over, are you exhausted? There are so many other oils that fall under the $25 dollars as well but I wanted to stick with the 15ml to give you the best bang for your buck. The oils listed above cover every body system and when you step out in faith and try them for the things you have going on, I know you will love what you experience for yourself. You don't need to take my word for it. Your body will respond and you will know when your body is a happy camper. Essential oils are multi-taskers. Every one of the oils I mentioned have more uses than I even typed out. If you do not have one oil, then use what you have. Most of the time it will work with the issue you have going on because they all have so many constituents that bring harmony to the body. Its an incredible thing!
If you are unsure what to use, start out with using one oil 3x a day, whether it be on the bottom of your feet or on your wrists, for one week. Do this daily and jot down on a calendar if you notice any changes or feelings that come up. Remember the oils affect our emotions too, so make sure to note how you feel emotionally. Consistency is key when your testing things out. Let your body experience the oils and just see what happens. I think you will like it. If you use a warm oil like Clove on your skin and its uncomfortable, apply a carrier oil (Olive, Coconut or Jojoba) right on top of the spot and it will slow the absorption down so the discomfort will disappear. No harm will come to you or your child when an oil is hot or warm. Just bring the carrier oil to the rescue and then apply the hot oil to your feet where you have thicker skin.
Almost all of the oils listed create a hostile environment to virus', bacteria and fungi and assist the body with its natural response to inflammation. There are only a few that do not have those properties.
I love helping people find natural solutions to support their body. If you have questions and need to chat or would like to host a gathering in your home to share the love and oils, please reach out.
