April showers bring May flowers.  It has been raining non-stop here in southern Wisconsin for days and now we woke up this morning to snow.  It would seem like an April fools joke but two days late.  How is the weather by you?   Here in the Midwest, it is quite normal to have a 72 degree day and plummeting down to 25 degrees by nightfall.  We all just know not to put away our snow clothes before the end of May!  I hope you are enjoying the weather wherever you are in the world. 


If you live in Wisconsin or Northern IL area, please come out and join us in Antioch, IL at the State Bank to enjoy a Spring Spa Day!  You will be pampered with a spa like treatment, facial masks, hot towels and trying all of Young Livings skin care and leave with a bag of favors.  We will have fun giveaways, fancy food and fun mock-tails.  Grab a girlfriend, daughter or mom and come enjoy a few hours of pampering.  Sign up ends APRIL 22nd.  Click the link to join us, share with your friends!  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/spring-spa-event-tickets-791627387827?aff=oddtdtcreator

We hope to see you there!  


Have you tried Red Cedar Bliss?  I recently received my first bottle of this after talking with some other Young Living leaders about its benefits for the respiratory system and heart.  It was created by Young Living in 2020 for some very specific benefits to those body systems.  I opened the bottle to put some in a capsule to take internally to support my lungs after being exposed to mold years ago, and I could not help but be immediately in love with the smell of this blend.   My husband was across the room and he immediately smelled it from the couch and immediately said , "what is that, it smells amazing"  We both sat like little kids with candy and smelled and just took in the aroma of this incredible oil.  When you LOVE an oil you need it physically, and when you detest the smell of a pure oil, you need it emotionally.  It sounds kinds crazy but I have seen it be 100% true over and over and over again all these years.  And when you use an oil that you cannot stand, maybe on the bottom of your feet daily when you can't handle the smell, you slowly begin to enjoy the smell. Pure essential oils, because they are the life blood of the plant, have both physical and emotional benefits when it is distilled and grown properly.  Its a beautiful thing.   If you don't believe me, try it for yourself.  You will be blown away!  Really.  


 Do you have seasonal discomfort?  Scratchy, watery eyes, sniffles and congestion from all the flowers blooming and the grasses growing?  Here are our seasonal support must haves to get you and your children through the season without products that cause side effects.  I have given this to a child as young as 4.  If you have children younger than the age of 4, you can place oils on the bottom of their feet or on their spine with a little carrier oil to help relieve what is making them uncomfortable.  We have lots of teaching on how to use the oils with babies all the way up to the elderly, in our educational Facebook group.  If you have not yet joined it, ask the person who signed you up and have then send you an invite.  There is weekly educational videos and daily product teaching on how to best use the products we have to support you and your family's wellness.  

Our Seasonal must haves?  
Sulfurzyme - It not only helps your skin, joints, hair and nails, but it also helps open up your detoxification pathways to aide in your bodies response to all the things that irritate during the spring and fall months.  

Peppermint, Lemon and Lavender - 5 drops of each oil  in a capsule or for kids in a tsp of honey, every 4 hours or as needed has been the go to for thousands of Young Living customers for as long as I have been with Young Living.  (13+ years)  

We now have our Seasons Essentials blend that is a one bottle blend of all the oils that help with your bodies response to the changing seasons.  It is like using the trio above but all in one bottle to help your bodies ability to navigate the season in comfort.  Take daily in a capsule or tsp of honey.  


SEASONAL VARIATIONS Of PLANTS
Seeds planted from the same species in different geographic locations can result in oils with different chemical make-ups.  These variations are called chemotypes.
The chemotypes of oils cannot simply be described by their genus and species; they have to be labeled with the region in which the seeds are grown.
Many plants produce more essential oils at a certain time of day; morning, afternoon or evening.  Other plants produce more oils at certain times of the year.  Growers must have this knowledge to know when is the best time to harvest. (Young Living)
The essential oils in balsam fir trees act as an antifreeze and are the most potent in the middle of winter.  Winter is the best time to harvest and distill the oil!
(excerpt from the Chemistry of Oils made even simpler)

The Cleansing Trio {Supplement Spotlight}

As we head into spring and summer, you may be feeling like you don't want to take the baggage of winter into the new season. Start improving your health by cleansing your system with the Cleansing Trio!

This bundle of ICP, Comfortone, and Essentialzyme was paired together as an excellent means of cleansing the body's system and supporting a healthy liver function. Essentialzyme stimulates natural enzyme activity in the body, and ICP introduces a unique blend of fibers that assist in eliminating waste. Comfortone then promotes a gentle boost in supporting digestive health and wellness. It's a powerhouse trio!

How do you use it?

ComforTone: Take 1 capsule 3 times daily. Drink at least 64 oz. of distilled water throughout the day for best results.

Essentialzyme: Take 1 dual time-release caplet 1 hour before your largest meal of the day for best results. (Contains soy.)

ICP: Mix 2 rounded tsp. with at least 8 oz. of juice or water. If cleansing or eating a high-protein diet, use 3 times daily. If eating a low-protein diet, use once daily. Drink immediately, as this product tends to thicken quickly when added to liquid. Tastes best in carrot juice, apple juice or smoothies.  I personally like our New Daily Prebiotic Fiber supplement, it melts smoothly in all liquids and tastes amazing and is an easy and gentle cleansing daily supplement.  




Have you tried any of our Einkorn products?  I personally love the granola but its hard to stop eating once I open the bag.   I cannot eat gluten but this flour is gentle on the system and more digestible.  I sadly will eat the entire bag when I purchase it but it does not bother my stomach like traditional wheat.  I love to grab a bag of granola to put in a gift bag for a new mom gift or a new home gift with our vitality oils and a beautiful diffuser.   We have Einkorn granola, Einkorn flour to bake with, Einkorn pasta, and Einkorn pancake mix.  It is a great option to try if traditional white flour bothers your digestive system.  

I have made these Einkorn Pizza muffins to serve with dinner and used our oils in place of dried herbs.  Just a drop is used because essential oils are many times more potent than dried herbs and our oils NEVER expire like dried herbs do.  You can also put this Oregano in a capsule to help your body create a hostile environment to virus', bacteria and fungus'.  We always keep oregano on hand during the winter months to keep our immune system healthy.  


Have you considered sharing the products you love with others?  Do people stop you in the store and tell you that you smell wonderful, or ask you what you do for headaches or how you keep your family healthy?  Young Living has an amazing compensation plan to bring in extra income just for sharing the products you love.  Send me an email and I can send you the current compensation plan pdf.   Young Living stores the product, ships the product and takes care of the customer service of the accounts under you and you just get to use the products and share them with the people you encounter in your daily life and work from home.  Young Living not only gives free monthly gifts for purchases but also gives the most generous of cash back - up to 25% monthly on the products you buy for yourself and home.  When you sign up 1-3 people monthly, Young Living also gives extra bonus gifts besides commission to reward you for your efforts.  We will work with you, help you find your style of sharing with people and help you grow your business.  Reach out and we will help you create an income to help support your family in these difficult times.  


Do you like DIY recipes?  We have a whole teaching on how to use our products to create DIY serums and cleaning aides, roller balls, products to use for baby and expectant mamas, and everything from bath bombs to your own laundry soap.  Here are a few DIY recipes for you to enjoy to use quality products on a budget.  Check out our educational Facebook page for more tips and hacks to use your products on a budget and how to get all the free oils that Young Living sends out monthly, and to get your 25% cash back to redeem for more free product and get half off on your monthly shipping!  



Do you question "why use Young Living oils when I can get other oils cheaper?"  We will not mention other companies by name, because our oils speak for themselves, but here is a few facts: 

Here is why they will never hold a candle to YL...
// FACTS //
1. When you’re the world leader, the OG, the one and only, the creme de la creme... everyone else will attempt to ride your coattails.
2. We live in a world of cheap knock-offs.
3. Essential oils aren’t regulated. So any sort of quality claims (pure, therapeutic, organic) mean ZERO without calling / researching the company.
4. Despite #3 ^ Labeling can be a good indicator - so if it says do not ingest, do not apply to skin, and/or has a list of ingredients that aren’t plant species names: FOLLOW THE LABEL and THROW THAT OIL IN THE TRASH. 🗑
// MYTHS //
1. “Their oils are just as good” // Good for what? Tearing up the planet with unsustainable farming practices? Exploiting the natural treasures of communities around the world? For exposing the body to pesticides and petrochemicals? For bringing synthetic fragrance into your home? Yep... that’s what they are good for... please don’t be fooled by placebo and side by side marketing. 
2. “YL oils are too expensive” // Y’all. This is so insane to me. We have oils that are $5. We have oils that are $200. Our oils are priced based on what it takes to cultivate and extract the precious chemical constituents, to work with local communities and pay them good wages, and to keep the planet healthy and thriving.  Do you know we employ locals in all the countries that we have farms in to build into their community and where there is need, we build schools for their children to have a safe place to go while their parents are at work.  Its a beautiful thing. 
➡️ Did you know that it costs $12,000 to HAND WEED an acre of lavender versus $60 to treat it with pesticides? We get what we pay for ❤️
➡️ Did you know that there is 2x the demand for lavender oil in the world than supply of actual lavender plant. That means *at least half* of all lavender on this planet was NEVER EVEN A PLANT. Completely SYNTHETIC, made in a lab, sold as all natural and pure and yada yada yada. 🙄
➡️ Did you know that it takes Cypress 24 hours in the distiller to release its 280 chemical constituents? If you distill for 20 hours, you get 20 constituents. 26 hours? Zero constituents. And guess what? Most Cypress oil on the market is distilled for 3.5 hours. 😲
➡️ With these cheap knock-offs sold on everywhere, people are getting so much less than thy actually pay for... and oils that have zero healing or therapeutic properties are truly the best way to WASTE YOUR MONEY. Flush it down the freaking toilet. How’s that for expensive?
3. “The oils are more expensive because this is an MLM..” // Yikes. This one is a lot to unpack.. but let’s try, shall we?
➡️ In an MLM like Young Living, people are compensated for word of mouth advertising. They receive percentages of orders as they are kind of like wholesalers bringing goods to the public.
➡️ Non-MLM companies pay out a massive advertising and marketing budget to a company who will execute, and to networks/internet platforms/etc who charge HUGE premiums to put the info out there in canned and inauthentic ways.
➡️ This money is paid to corporations instead of the families of their product users.
➡️ The pot of money is just about the same, however it’s used differently. With this company, you are supporting the families you KNOW who are working to provide education, support and customer service to pay their mortgage, pay off debt, buy healthy food for their kids, help a family in need...instead of the padding the thickly-lined pockets of some faceless advertising agency, or the CEO of Amazon/Whole Foods, Facebook, etc. Your choice.
➡️ Other companies are ONLY about their bottom line... not the quality, not the standards, not the longevity and sustainability. So what are you actually buying? And what are you actually supporting with your hard-earned money? Yikes.
🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️Raise your hand 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️ if you know that there is ZERO comparison between their vats of fragrance and our 100% plant juice.
🤷‍♀️ [Here’s great questions most, if not all, companies cannot answer]
Where were they grown?
Are they treated with pesticides?
Do they contain any solvents?
How were the oils extracted from the plants?
Are they synthetically made?
Do they use fertilizers?
Does the grower harvest at the optimal time?
Do they contain any actual plants?
Can I ingest them?
Call them and See what they say!
Now grab your pure  Young Living Lavender, relax and enjoy and know that you have the real deal in your hands! 



Please reach out if you have any questions about your account, product education, shipping issues, hosting a gathering at your home or business, creating an income with Young Living or if you are just going through a trial and need prayer.  We would love to connect and serve you.

Young Living Oils on a Budget and Starter Bundles to get the most for your money!

Young Living Oils on a Budget and Starter Bundles to get the most for your money!
Its March and Spring is in the air!  March symbolizes transformation and new growth.  Its the time to kick off the cozy slippers and start preparing for gardens, beaches and summer travel.  Most of us want to open the windows and let the spring breeze in while kicking out the winter germs to freshen up the house.  Citrus oils are a great way to cleanse the air, awaken your mood and freshen up the house after a long winter.  They are perfect to diffuse while working on homework, tasks that take focus, and when your household needs health and energy.  To celebrate the green air of March, Young Living is giving away Jade Lemon for Loyalty members with 100PV.  It not only tastes amazing in your water for your lymphatic health, but it smells incredible when you diffuse it in your diffuser.  Check out the local class below for tips on how to deal with seasonal changes without any harm or side effects with refreshing oils like Lemon, Peppermint and Lavender.  You will be amazed at how multi-purpose these oils can be for your home and health and they are all budget friendly.  

Do you have the Spring cleaning itch?  Watch my video below on how to hack a couple of our Thieves products to clean your home and laundry on a budget!  I have been doing this hack for years with nothing but success and doing it on a budget for a single mama of 5! My grandkids can get into my cleaning cabinet and I have no worries and will never need to call poison control.    DIY to a healthier lifestyle!



Do you question how commercial personal care products affect our health?  This is a great movie below on what is in our commercial products and how they negatively affect our health.




Getting a starter bundle is still and will always be the best bang for your buck when it comes to savings.  Did you know you can still purchase a starter bundle even after you become a member?  I purchase the Make a Shift Health Home bundle to re-supply my cleaning products and I purchase the Premium Starter Bundle when I want to re-supply my everyday oils.  When you go to the SHOP tab in your account, on the far right there will be a "starter bundle" tab so you can view all the options for extra savings.  




LOCAL CLASSES: 
Starting in April, when you come to a local class, we will give you a binder and every month we will give you testimonials, usage pages and note paper for class notes to add to your binder to create your own reference guide.  We aim to educate and give you the tools to create a healthy home for your family!!

If you are not local, pm me to be added to our education page on Facebook where you get daily education and videos on how to use your oils and products to stay healthy!

Who is dealing with all the emotions?  Our world is a stressful place right now, here is a testimony from a member about the emotional benefits of Sacred Mountain blend.  
Y’all need a diffuser bracelet and Sacred Mountain because it is the best smelling oil EVER!  It gets me!  Like it’s “my jam”right now. (Whenever I place it on me it gives me goose bumps head to toe).  
Wanna really know how this oil makes me feel?  
Let’s imagine together.....  you just completed hiking up the biggest mountain you have ever seen and you’re standing at the top......deep breathing, sweating and marveling at how your body could actually do such a thing.....as climb this huge mountain!  You look up and realize that your eyes, mind, and soul have never seen anything more beautiful!  As you take in the view the wind blows through your hair and you inhale to take the deepest breath you’ve ever taken because you want to soak in “all the feels” of this moment. You want to soak in the sunshine on your face, the wind in your hair, the blue sky with puffy white clouds, the green tops of all the trees and the silence. The sweet glorious silence of nature. Your shoulders drop, your heart rests, and you realize you’re at pure peace!  ALL is well in your soul and in this world. 
THIS is the feeling this oil gives me!  Yup!  All in one sniff!  Imagine what happens when I place it on me. ��❤️
Here’s the deal....oils can penetrate the blood brain barrier and increase the oxygen to the limbic system of the brain. (The emotional hub of your body). Which leads to secretions of antibodies, endorphins, & neurotransmitters.  (All good things!) 

Sacred Mountain is for emotional balance.  It works on opening up the pineal gland!  It has a high frequency as well to support and promote wellness in our cells!  So if you’d like to take a mini vacation each day....  oil up! 

I was a single parent and couldn't even afford the starter kit when I started with Young Living.  It has now become my income and passion.   It is false that you cannot have great healthy products on a budget.  Message us if you want to find out how to make your products stretch.  Its doable, its wonderful and if your on Loyalty Rewards, your going to get cash back for purchasing your everyday items for your home and wellness and be able to get the products you long for FREE!

We also hack all of our shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash, and laundry soap by cutting them in half or 3's because they are so concentrated they are still just as potent stretched to save money and I guarantee they will work better than any natural product you have purchased.   Ask thousands of Young Living members who enjoy these tips. 
Here is a great tip from the Everyday Oiler.


Guess what season it is?  It’s the season of my husband working out in the yard cleaning up brush and leaves from the season before and finding a little “****” under his arm 🤮
Thankfully my hubby got the little bugger detached safely but our immediate protocol is to apply the oils that help support your body when this kind of things happens.  
We all grew up with a medicine cabinet but I chose to raise my kids with a wellness cabinet.  We think preventative and are proactive with our health and do what we can to help support our body naturally so it can fight all the things that life brings us.  Even these little seasonal buggers!!! 
Because I keep oils on hand, (something I am always teaching our members) when this happens, I grab my desk reference and look up what oils to use and use what I have, then we mix them up in a roller ball so he can apply that to the “spot” where the little bugger got him every hour initially for the next day or two.  Then he will just apply twice a day for a week or as needed to ensure that his body has fought well. 
Natural medicine has been the main modality for health and healing for thousands of years.  Do you know that dentists used Clove as a numbing agent until this century. Some still do.  It works great for teething babies to rub on their gums.  It also is one of the most powerful immune system fighters known. 

Did you know aspirin was a derivative of the Wintergreen plant until it was created synthetically in a lab.  In my opinion, Wintergreen is oh so much safer with the same positive effects. ❤️
So now since we have seen that these buggers are out in full force, we will be spraying our dog with this blend in a spray bottle to keep her from enjoying their bites and we will be spraying ourselves when er go out to work outside, acting preventive instead of being surprised with these guys.  
It’s the season, spray your dogs every time you take them out (I leave the spray bottle by the door) and spray yourselves to keep your family healthy!   
If you want to know more, pm me, let’s chat!!!

Would you like to earn an income sharing the products you love?  Young Living stocks the product, ships the product, provides the website for the product, and all you do is share the oils and products you love by word of mouth and share a couple drops of oily goodness with your friends and neighbors and the oils speak for themselves.  You only buy product for your family to qualify to earn an income.  Its a win win for everyone.  Young Living was born 30 years ago by women sharing with other women what worked for them to keep their family healthy.    One of our Royal Crown Diamonds actually rode her horse into town from her Ranch to share the Young Living catalog with people in her town because she had such dramatic changes in her health when she started with Young Living over 25 years ago.  She actually became a Diamond leader with no phone and no internet at her home.  Our products are that good, when your friends trust you, they will want to hear what you have to say about your results.

Lemon is energizing and makes for some amazing lemonade with honey in your water, cleanses your lymphatic system and helps alkaline your system.

May 4th - Spring Spa Event!!! Antioch, IL - Grab a couple girlfriends and come and sample all of the Young Living skin care, pamper yourself with hot scented towels, beauty-masks and some fun girly mock mimosas and tasty treats.    We have not hosted this fun and information class since 2019, so we are so excited to have you come join us and get spoiled for the afternoon.  


I am excited to announce our Supplement Challenge!!!! Everyone in our organization is eligible to participate, even our international members!  

If you have never tried a Young Living supplement, you have not experienced the difference between commercial supplements and oil infused supplements.  Using essential oils in supplements make them more absorb-able and efficient in the body.  

Our groups supplement challenge is having you grab a two month supply of just ONE Young Living supplement  that you would like to try and on March 1st through April 30th take that supplement daily and note on a calendar how you feel as the weeks go by.   When you start any kind of supplement, (Young Living or other) you should always give it two months to experience change. 
On May first I will pick two names from everyone who participated and award a $50 credit on two names chosen.   Even if you have used our supplements before or currently do, you can participate as long as your email me your proof of purchase! 

Do you need help with your eyes?  Try IlluminEyes!  Do you need help with your heart?  Try Cardiogize!  Do you need help with your bladder and kidneys?  Try K&B tincture! (its amazing for UTI struggles)  Do you need help with joint support and inflammation?  Try Agilease, BLM and Sulfurzyme! (I am currently taking these three daily to restore the cartilage in my knee. 
There are so many more supplements with Young Living for hormones, energy, brain support and digestive restoration.  There is a supplement for every issue and supplements for kids too!  If you need help choosing a supplement for your needs, reach out and I can help you choose the right one for you!  

Proof of purchase of the two supplements is required for entry!   



If you need a great resource for more in-depth information on our supplements, because our YL website must stay FDA compliant, here is a great resource! https://growinghealthyhomes.com/supplementfieldguide/Grab your supplements, email or text me an image of your receipt and keep in contact during the challenge and give me updates!  I can guarantee that your results will be noteworthy!!!!  And a chance to win $50 is always fun!!!!



Have you heard the news?  If your an entrepreneur or have Medicare but want a natural care addition to your policy or if your someone who spends thousands of dollars seeing Natural and Functional doctors, this is for you!!!!!  Young Living has partnered with a Health Share company to now provide Holistic Healthcare through a sharing program (this is not regular medical insurance)!  It is available as of this month, February 1st 2024 and enrollment can occur anytime throughout the year, no more specific open enrollment periods!  This Health Share program covers Holistic doctors, NP, Midwives, Home-births, Natropaths, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and they are working on covering Massage too.  

This is WELLNESS CARE, not sick care.  This plan is great for those who see natural practitioners and have to pay cash, even if you have insurance with an employer.   You can choose which plan suits you and with the link below, you can watch their revolving webinars on the site to get more information.   When you log into your Young Living account, you will now see a banner on the front page with a link for you to get started or click for more information.  

THE BEST PART is that you sign up with YOUR Young Living member number, (for this Health Share, you have to be a new or current member with Young Living) and you get $50-$75 back monthly when you buy a Young Living supplement or oil or Ningxia on your account!!!!!  Woohoo!  They are paying you back for you taking charge of your health!  And, if you are a Brand Partner and make a commission with Young Living, you get commission on anyone in your organization who signs up for this insurance monthly too!  Win, Win, Win for everyone who chooses a healthy lifestyle!!!!  

I know I currently have a Health Share program that I have used for 18 years and they cover any doctor or functional medicine practitioner I want to see, but they do not cover wellness visits or preventative care, so I pay a lot out of pocket monthly for basically emergency or sick visits.  My Chiropractor is only covered if I am injured and the natural doctors are only covered if I go because I have an issue.  Paying lots of money out for 18 years and I have only had 3 injuries where I needed them to cover the bills.  I am so glad now that Young Living is giving us a better way to stay healthy and well! 

If you have gone inactive, reach out and I can help you reactivate your account so that you can take advantage of this great Health Share option with Young Living.  Here is a link to more information so you can make a choice that is best for your family!!!!   https://yl.clearwaterhealth.com/?fbclid=IwAR3iQ_25Low-eJNRpOYlW1vl4uVQqHkRSNPCkN5h8_OFYBsJfpwHfVsqgB4



Have you done the Ningxia Challenge yet?  I am doing the challenge this month, and the results I am seeing on the YL Reset page are incredible.  The reduction in inflammation across the board has been amazing to see, the better sleep, clearer thinking, and more energy during the day is pretty awesome!  We all know Ningxia is the bomb, and has been since its inception, but this 14 Day Reset is just incredible.  Best of all, this is still available at the steal of a price on Loyalty Rewards OR Shop order.  

Remember, the Ningxia Wolfberry is like no other.  It is the staple food of the people in the Ningxia province and they have the most centurions of all of Asia. (people who live to 100 or more)  It is a power packed nutrition of a supplement drink and safe for pets, toddlers or anyone who is a picky eater or who has trouble swallowing supplements.  Its a great nutritional alternative. 


Just one Testimonial:

And better yet, if you have done the reset and now want to continue with Ningxia daily, the Ningxia Loyalty Rewards kit is 15% off for the month of February!!!!!!!  If you have never tried Ningxia, I would suggest you doing the Reset kit and see the results for yourself. You will be stunned at how good you feel!  Guaranteed!!!!


And lastly, if you are one of our Amazing Brand Partners or would like to become one to earn an at home income with Young Living, (message me if you want to chat about what it means to earn an income by sharing the products you love from home) below is a free resource link coming to us so that we can get all the updated information we need to run our business' well.  https://www.brandpartnersimplified.com/?fbclid=IwAR12H9qe7QlsfFoXelZ2IuCgTWjT9aREuZUMXmJ_UGkP1Y9OahNjzGml_II


And another change this month!!!!!  No more CV for commissions.

My husband and I are so grateful to serve you to find the best health options that you can buy.  We both went from online sourced products for our wellness before we even met each other, to finding the best solutions with Young Living 13 years ago.  And since its Valentines Day, a little tip about my husband and I, we fell in love at one of my Young Living classes too!!  We know you will feel better, live healthier, and never regret choosing Young Living when you use at least one of our products daily.  Try the supplement challenge and tell me if you agree.  If you would like to meet in person or video chat about your wellness struggles and goals, please respond to this email.  We would count it a privilege to give you a free consultation and help you feel great daily!

YL 14 Day Reset challenge with New Ningxia Red kit! Trauma? Power of Inner Defense for wellness!

YL 14 Day Reset challenge with New Ningxia Red kit!  Trauma?  Power of Inner Defense for wellness!
You are receiving this email because you are part of our Young Living organization.  This is for educational purposes only, this is not a solicitation.  

January is here and the hustle and bustle of the Holidays are over.  We have some great things coming up in the New Year!  Positives to help you get back to feeling good, say goodbye to brain fog, hello to energy, welcome to good sleep!  

Keep reading below to check out our local class line up in Salem Wi and Antioch IL.  We have a Lucy Libido class on January 25th and we would love to see you there.  Its a lot of fun and you will take home some fun oily concoctions to try out with your spouse to spice up romance right before Valentines Day!!  Class Schedule and Registration below!

Young Living is very generous with their free products every month but this month you get a treasure trunk of beautiful products to help you stay healthy, look younger (our collagen) to stay hydrated while you travel about with our Electrolyte Vitality drops, Respiratory health with Thieves chest rub, Sinus, stomach and discomfort support with Peppermint oil and immune support with our Vitamin C!  Did you know Young Living doesn't use sugar in their supplements or chewables?  You can confidently use everything from our cough drops, vitality drops, immu-gummies and chewable tablets knowing there is no processed sugar in any of it.  We also don't use artificial sweeteners that negatively affect your brain health.  Stevia is the natural sweetener of choice and so you know you can give our products to your children, or yourself and know that you will not have to deal with inflammation from processed sugars.  

Recently while traveling I needed cough drops.  I swear by Young Living cough drops and I also cannot have any processed sugars, BUT even I was unprepared and didn't have them with me.  So I tried to go to a local organic health food store and they had all kinds of cough drops but they ranged from 11 grams of sugar (seriously?) to 4 grams of sugar per cough drop!  I just couldn't believe my eyes.  You might say, 4 grams, that is not too bad but it was per cough drop and if your coughing, you use more than several a day, and guess what does NOT promote healing and depresses your immune system?  SUGAR.  So 4 grams is actually a lot and when I looked at the ingredients of those 4 grams, it was corn syrup.  NO THANK YOU.  We need to be label readers, and alert at all time because these cough drops were touted as all natural.  I will stick with Young Living cough drops with just stevia in them and I will make sure to pack them next time!  Young Living cough drops come out to .66 cents a piece and are worth every single penny in their effectiveness against coughs and sore throats.  Redeem your Loyalty points for two bags and NEVER leave home without them! 


Do you need a 14 Day Reset to get over the slump?  Young Living just came out with a 14 Day Reset kit that you can do and wow, the results are in and people are loving this new kit!  You will have 14 days to see improvement in sleep, immune health, cognitive health and increased energy.  And if you want to share the goodness with a friend, connect with me and I can show you how you can get a thank you check from YL from sharing the goodness of the Reset kit and your friends will get 20% off their first order!  

This kit is ready to go and has all the instructions to get you started.  There is also a Facebook group that will be running monthly to help you along the way and of course you can reach out to me to help you with questions too.  


If you have never read the book about Ningxia Wolfberry, you need to grab it to see the power that this little berry holds.  It is different than the wolfberry you buy in the store, because it is grown in the run offs of the Himalayan mountains so it is packed with nutrients, protein, minerals, fiber, vitamins.  The area where our Ningxia Wolfberry is sold, has the Ningxia Wolfberry as one of their staple foods and has the highest number of centurions in Asia.  (people who live over 100)


Jump on board and grab your kit on Shop order OR Loyalty orders.  Its available starting today!  If you want to be added to our 14 Day Reset Facebook group, please message me and I will make sure you are added!  

Have you had the current thing that is going around?  One that makes you sleep, feel unwell and keeps you home from work and school?  We just experienced it and I can honestly say it was not fun BUT with the right tools, you can get through it and get through it faster than most.  The key oils I suggest having on hand to start at the first sign of feeling under the weather, is Oregano, Thyme, RC, Thieves, Cedarwood and Lavender.  I could name so many more but I have to keep the list easy to remember.   Thyme is especially great for the lungs (I was putting it in some homemade elderberry syrup and making my husband drink it from a shot glass, he didn't especially like it but it was a necessary tool for wellness)  For myself, I put it in a capsule along with Thieves, Lavender, Oregano and Tsuga.  

When your sinus' are stuffed up and you don't have a netty pot handy, use this tried and true method for clearing out your sinus' fast!  Boil water, put 2 drops of RC or Eucalyptus oil in the water and immediately cover your head and the bowl to make a little dome and breathe slowly.  (not recommended for young kids as they may spill the hot water on themselves)  The oils will make you cough at first, but thats good because you need to cough out the mucus.  Have your tissues ready because you will be clearing out your sinus' with this cheap and easy technique.  And it is safe to do as many times a day as you need to, and you can do it in a hotel room, in your home or a home of the host where you are staying.  

When you have small kids, or even babies, I suggest always traveling with a nebulizer.  In our home we use Colloidal Silver or Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide, but please check with your doctor to see what they recommend for your babies.  We use this one and will not longer travel without it.  It is great for adults and kids and is small and easy to carry when traveling and it feels good to be prepared if something comes up when you are not at home.  Here is an Amazon link to the one we currently have.  It is best to have one with a compressor to have the power needed so it works efficiently!  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B6G6WF9X?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details


The wellness tool we use the most when we are down for the count is Inner Defense.  It has been a powerhouse for our family in times of need for the last 13 years.  We don't use this daily, we only take it after surgeries, or when we are really down for the count.  My husband was sicker than I was and he had so much mucus in his lungs so we had to tackle it and tackle it early .  

In times of need, let Inner Defense work overtime to support your body! Inner Defense is the perfect supplement to support your immune system during the winter months. This supplement is filled with powerful essential oils which help reinforce systemic defenses, create an environment that is unfriendly to yeast and fungus, and promote healthy respiratory function.  
Inner Defense contains potent essential oils such as Oregano, Thyme, Lemongrass, and Thieves. These oils are rich in thymol, carvacrol, and eugenol for immune support and work together to support you overall health and wellness in times of need. This supplement is packed with potent essential oils and we suggest taking it with food or something fatty like almond milk or almond butter. Essential oils are fat soluble and taking it with something fatty will make it sit better in sensitive stomachs. 
Take 1 softgel daily for prevention or  3–5 times daily (1 every few hours with a full meal) until the bottle is empty, when your body is below the wellness line.  I have never had to use a second bottle, but if needed, you can do another round.  For my family, by the second day of using them 4x a day, we feel better but we continue to use up the bottle until its empty to make sure we have taken care of what needs to be tackled.  If you have a sensative stomach, take this with a full meal and if needed Yogurt or dairy for the fat to slow down the absorption.  If you have children that need support, that are too young to take them internally, you can break open the capsule and rub the capsule contents over the course of a day on their feet only.  Its a great way to keep your family feeling good quickly.  


We were traveling when we started to not feel well so we used our traveling nebulizer with colloidal silver for relief while we were gone, and oils we had on hand but once we got home, we both started 4 Inner Defense daily, one every few hours with a small meal. Within days we were feeling more like ourselves and back to wanting to engage in life.  

There have been many that have been through so much pain and loss this year.  Myself included with the loss of my sister in law and my 94 year old mother just recently.  Do you know that the reason I signed up with Young Living was to work through the trauma of loss for one of my teens?  We had lost her older sister and was struggling big time with emotions and wasn't processing them well.  
We started with a bottle of Joy with amazing success which led me to ultimately make this my career in helping people recover from physical and emotional issues, BUT after studying the oils for so many years, I would have absolutely wanted to look into this gem of an oil, Release!  

Release helps the liver cleanse and release toxins and helps one work through stored emotions from hard situations in life. It’s a must have oil!!!

I once had a friend and something happened and she’s no longer my friend… every now and then I’ll see a photo in my memories, a shirt she gave me or find a letter she wrote me when I am cleaning… and instead of being bitter at the friendship being gone, I’ll lift a little prayer and be thankful for all the good.

Maybe you aren’t there yet and you are feeling a little hurt or betrayed, I want you to know, you can get here too. I think so many times, we don’t let ourselves look back and be grateful, once we aren’t angry, we just move on….

Release is an oil I love to use with Epsom salts and a hot bath at the end of the night and when the tears come, and the loss is intense,  it can be cleansing and when the prayers come, it can be healing.


If you live within an hour of Northern IL or Southern Wi, please take the time to come join us for the first half of 2024 classes!  
Since many things have gone on-line since 2020, customers are missing an important component of their Young Living essential oils that everyone invested in.  Education.  Our Young Living classes have been a key aspect of the relationships that we build with our customers and how we educate on how powerful these little bottles of liquid Gold are.  There is a reason that Young Living is not sold in stores.  Gary and Mary Young knew that these hidden gems needed explanation, and our Seed to Seal guarantee is one of the main things we love to educate on because that is what has set us apart as an oil company for the last 30 years.  We grow our own plants on our land, we use old world soil regeneration, we weed our farms by hand or by goat, we use no pesticides, herbicides, we distill on each farm so plant material isn't sitting on trucks rolling across the USA loosing valuable constituents.  We only distill in stainless steal distillers, and our oils only touch glass or stainless steal.  If we loose a crop, we do not sell that oil until we have another successful crop.  We do not buy from other sources, but grow every plant oil we sell.  If we need to be out of stock for two years to ensure purity, thats what we do.  We have third party testing, and when our oils don't have all the constituents present, they get put back in the ground, they never get sold to another company.  

Do you know that 90% of start up companies fail within 5 years, yet Young Living started with Gary building his own distillers, harvesting, bottling and labeling the few oils himself that Young Living started with over 30 years ago.  Gary also wanted to empower families to grow and be successful, so instead of putting the advertising money in the pockets of big corporations, you are supporting your neighbor, your friend, myself and my family when you use your essential oils, and not a big corporation.  You are helping entrepreneurs thrive.  Word of mouth and your testimonies is how Young Living is successful.

So grab a friend and come out and join our classes where you will gain a wealth of information that you will not find online, and you will always go home with goodies to try and you will continue to engage in community that wants and strives to put their wellness first!

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!
