Progessence is a women’s hormone balancer and even young women who need to balance out their cycles can use it.  You need hormone balance every day of your life so while this isn’t for women younger than teen years, it is even for us older women who have gone through “some changes” 😊. It’s known as the happy hormone and it’s gifted me many a grandchild by helping keep those needed hormones balanced in our family. ❤️❤️❤️
Rosemary helps combat all the negative EMFs that we combat daily and helps with our cognitive function.  It’s great to diffuse or apply on the brainstem daily for a health brain function and memory.  
Patchouli is great to diffuse with Tea Tree to help either those bitter feelings.   I know some people hate the smell and I used to but I love the smell now when diffused. It’s great to apply over your liver if you are struggling with feelings of bitterness. It smells great diffused with Lime as well, together its very cleansing to the air.  It also helps keep the bugs away when you put it in your outdoor spray mixture. 
Ylang Ylang is great for all those sexy feelings. Put a couple drops in the diffuser with Orange oil when you want to get romantic.  Or on your wrists or brain stem.  It can drive a man wild sometimes. It is mostly loved for its internal use (drops in a capsules) or external drops on the carotid arteries for a healthy blood pressure.  
The lavender lip balm is not only smooth like silk on your lips but also great to keep in your purse for the occasional paper cut , blemish or irritated skin spot or when you are out and about and don’t have a carrier oil.  It is a multi-use wonder.   
Enjoy the month of May and all the freebies Young Living loves to spoil us with. 
Why is Mineral Essence a crucial part of health? 
It's the most superior mineral product and the absolute best way to get magnesium.
What form of magnesium is it? 
Mineral Essence contains the naturally-occurring magnesium found in soil, so it is not a "form" since forms are lab-isolated. The largest source of magnesium is saltwater, but then from there the mineral is processed with a natural chemical to create a form. The word after magnesium in forms indicates which natural chemical it is generally processed with (ie magnesium "oxide"). However, Mineral Essence is naturally-occurring magnesium from The Great Salt Lake in Utah without further processing.
How is it better than other mineral supplements? 
This ionic mineral supplement also contains dietary therapeutic essential oils for more bioavailability than any other ionic mineral product. 
In testing the absorption, volunteers consumed a teaspoon of liquid trace minerals without essential oils. Each volunteer experience diarrhea within 24 hours, demonstrating that they weren’t able to absorption it all. Following a cleansing period of several days, the same volunteers were given a double dosage of the same liquid trace minerals blended with essential oils. None experienced diarrhea. 
This demonstrates the synergy of minerals and essential oils to boost the body’s absorption. Because what good is a supplement if your body will just poop or pee it out?!!
How do I take it with that TASTE?! 
Yes it doesn’t taste great. Try these ways to get it in: 
1) Sublingually—This is the way I take it most often. There are no tastebuds there 🤯 and it gets into the bloodstream quickly which is especially important if you need instant magnesium for any of those icky effects of stress or when you need some instant brain clarity!
2) In empty capsules. Young Living sells empty vegetable capsules that fit a dropperful of Mineral Essence perfectly in each one! Pro tip: don’t make them ahead of time or you’ll have a gooey dissolved mess 😅
3) In a little bit of yummy liquid like NingXia Red. Just be careful not to use something high in sugar like orange juice or not too much of it since that can raise blood sugar which will demand more magnesium from the body.
4) Straight up or in a little water and lemon juice and honey or stevia.  
How much do I need?
The recommended dosage is a good starting place to start but for me when I first started on it, my body was showing signs that I needed much more for the magnesium so I personally took twice that amount which subsided those signs quickly stopped. Listen to your body and remember that you are working to replenish years of not having enough as well as what your body needs daily!   I now take 3 half droppers daily in my lemon water with stevia. And Sulfurzyme. 
Great post from HfG

After a stressful couple days, today was a “catch your breath” day!  Sitting at the lake,  no to do list, no chores, no gardening, no weeding, no cooking and just looking at the clouds, the waves and listening to the songs of nature that God has created for us 
❤️

Do you know the US ranks 3rd in one study of Skin can - cer around the world and we are one of the nations that use the most sunscreen?  And there are more nations that spend more time then we do in the sun.  Every year you are pummeled with the rubbish of “don’t go out without sunscreen on.  Did you know you will get all the vitamin D your body needs daily by just being out in the sun without sunscreen for 30 minutes?  Then after you have absorbed that natural goodness THAT we ALL need, you can put on a natural sunscreen that doesn’t contain ingredients that actually cause Can - Cer!!!!   Vitamin D and sunshine also improve your mood 
😃

 
Common sense looks at all the nations that have people out in intense heat all day long, for thousands of years, without using sunscreen without high incidence of skin Can - Cer.  I grew up without using sunscreen unless I was going to the beach and I brought up my kids the same. 
A vitamin D deficiency is associated with multiple chronic conditions including the leading causes of mortality. Vitamin D deficiencies have been found to play a role in many conditions including cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and osteoporosis, and many other health conditions. Having optimal levels of vitamin D is critical for good overall health. (Dr Jockers)

 Summer PSA: Oxybenzone in your sunscreen 
🏝️
Please go grab your sunscreen and look at the ingredients. I'll wait here 
😉
 I betcha there's oxybenzone in it if you're buying yours from a grocery store, drug store, big box store or even health food store.
Did you know that oxybenzone is one of the highest-risk chemicals found in sunscreen? It acts like estrogen in the body, alters sperm production in animals and is associated with endometriosis in women. Studies on cells and laboratory animals indicate that oxybenzone and its metabolites may disrupt the hormone system. Um, no thanks. I'd like my girlie parts and my kids reproductive parts to not be disrupted, thank you! 

🙅‍♂️

A carcinogen is a substance that causes a cellular malfunction, causing the cell to become cancerous and thus potentially lethal to the surrounding tissue and ultimately the body as these rapidly growing mutated cells take over. With the surge in cancer rates among all segments of the population, many people are attempting to reduce or eliminate their exposure to carcinogens.
A lot of people opt for sunscreens with mineral sunscreen vs chemical sunscreens like zinc oxide, titanium dioxide or avobenzene instead. The problem is, titanium dioxide is classified as a carcinogen in a lot of countries and avobenzene can increase free radicals, which increase the aging process. 
I searched for sunscreen that wasn't full of carcinogens. I found a few but they would leave our skin with a white residue or were really greasy. I also wanted to get a sunscreen that has NON-nanoparticalized zinc oxide since I didn't want the micronized zinc particles to absorb into my skin and then float throughout my body in my bloodstream. I mean, the whole reason why I was wanting a mineral sunscreen was so that it wouldn't go into my body!
I've been super happy with Young Living's Sunscreen, which goes on easily, doesn't leave a white greasy residue and actually works! It's got a SPF of 50, which means that if you typically burn in 50 minutes of direct sun and no sunscreen. Yes our sunscreen is safe for babies!  Just reapply after 50 minutes in the sun just like all sunscreens. 
  AND it's reef-safe so it won't be killing all of the reef and coral in the ocean, which is important if we want to preserve our precious ecosystems!
Pro-tip: Unscrew the cap and dispense it from the tube itself. It comes out of the tube much easier



Cinco De Mayo is upon us and here is a great recipe to enjoy with friends!  Lime oil is so inexpensive to diffuse, and its wonderful respiratory and lymphatic support.  It tastes great in recipes when you forget to buy the limes, and it makes your water taste wonderful to help you drink more.  Remember to never use plastic with Essential Oils.  They naturally pull the petro chemicals from the container and it is not only not good to drink the chemicals but it will also weaken the plastic and you will find the container to break apart.  


I am constantly talking about the importance of all your B vitamins, for real, they are a game changer!!!  This is a great product to have on your Loyalty Rewards every month!  
B-vitamins are a group of eight water soluble vitamins that perform essential roles in cellular function. All B vitamins help the body to convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is used to produce energy. Together those 8 Beautiful B Vitamins work with your:
* Brain Function & Memory
* Energy Production
* Nerve Function
* DNA/RNA synthesis/repair
* Emotionally Up lifting & Balancing
* Methylation
* Digestion and Enzyme Production.
* Heart Function; cholesterol, blood pressure & heart rate
* Hair & Skin including wound repair, rashes

Summer sports are starting and its a great time to kick the stink out of the sweaty shoes in the house!!!   
Have you tried Young Living toothpaste?  Everyone that I know, myself included, who has used this yearly, has great success!  Its on our order monthly!  A long time secret of Young Living members, our Denterome toothpaste makes a great deodorant too! 
Many people currently are going through so much loss. I have shared my own story of tragedy and loss on our You Tube channel in hopes to encourage and give hope to those who are hurting. Young Living oils were just a small part of our healing, as pure oils can affect the emotions and limbic region of the brain, but it wasn't the only source of our hope. I hope this two part video blesses you and encourages you or someone you love. https://youtu.be/NzXfpVF-Zys?si=OSF73yp4zUtvGZdC

Please reach out to myself or the person who signed you up, if you need assistance with your account, product usage, hosting a gathering at your home, shipping needs you may have or if you need prayer.  We look forward to serving you in your health journey!

From Brokenness to Joy!

 
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!
