September is here!!!!! Its Fall Y'all! I am not necessarily a Pumpkin Spice and everything nice kinda girl but I am all about Fall/Winter wellness and helping people support their bodies naturally and living with purpose and abundance in health, emotions and relationships.
The topic of this months education is the Raindrop Technique. Have you tried a Young Living Raindrop Technique yet? Do you know it is widely used on horses and farm animals for their wellness? It is used on the Percheron draft horses teams at Young Living. I use all of our oils on our pets, chickens, and have even helped someone use our oils in a fish tank. Pure oils are amazing for helping wellness for babies, pets and all through the ages. (don't try this with cheap oils on the internet or at grocery stores).
If you have not tried it, you need to! My daughter started giving us Raindrops when she was 10 years old. Yes, anyone can do it. You can purchase the Young Living Raindrop kit that comes with paper instructions on how to do it. My daughter would lay us on the floor or bed and apply the oils while she followed the video linked on YouTube below. It is restorative to the bodies cells when you are not feeling well, soothing to every muscle in the body and relaxing to the mind. The image below is of my granddaughter helping me do the raindrop on her aunt. When we let littles use the oils, we just want to make sure we have them wash their hands afterwards and not touch their eyes not because its harmful (the oils are actually amazing for kiddos) but it will sting in their eyes so then you will have to put a drop of Olive oil in their eye to help slow the absorption to stop the sting. It causes no damage to the eye when this happens. It honestly happens to me all the time since I handle oils all day long. Did you know that when you give a family member a Raindrop, not only do they benefit from the oils, but YOU also benefit too. I love giving Raindrops when I teach the classes because it benefits the recipient and the giver! Win win for everyone!
Below is my middle daughter performing a Raindrop on our host while we were on vacation a couple years ago. Our beautiful host was struggling with some major discomfort in her back and we wanted to help her rectify that so that she could sleep better that night. My daughter in this photo is currently a massage therapist but when this image was taken she was in massage therapy school and loved to help people feel better with the gift of touch and the addition of the oils as an added wellness benefit!
I highly recommend getting a Raindrop, I have taught Young Livings Raindrop classes over the years and sharing the benefits are simply amazing. Look up the benefits in your desk reference, there is a whole section to describe the Raindrop treatment and what it entails!!!! If you do not have a desk reference, message me and I will copy the chapter and send it to you. It is filled with incredible information. I will be hosting a Raindrop class coming up at the end of September. Details on time and location to come, keep an eye out in your email!
Raindrop technique is a powerful technique using essential oils that was developed by D. Gary Young in the 1980s. It combines several modalities to bring balance and transformation. It also supports body systems on a physical and emotional level.
The most amazing thing about Raindrop is that all of my clients measure taller (inflammation creates compression in the spine and the Raindrop resolves that and lets your spine extend to its fullest potential) after just one session! I had a military customer struggling with a major fungal infection from being overseas and he volunteered to be the recipient of a Raindrop during a local class on the base. He felt so good and his spine extended almost an inch and a half, and after the first Raindrop they subsequently used the raindrop on him weekly and was able to clear his body of the issues he was struggling with.
What is Raindrop Technique?
This technique involves applying therapeutic grade essential oils to the spine, neck and feet. The session lasts about an hour however the benefits may last up to a week or more.
Gary found that combining several holistic techniques, described below, created a synergistic effect for the body. The three modalities that combine to form Raindrop Technique are:
Aromatherapy – Raindrop technique uses seven single essential oils, two blends and one essential oil massage blend during the session. It is congruent with the French application of aromatherapy where essential oils are applied NEAT (undiluted) to the body.
Vita Flex Technique – Vita Flex was brought to the US in the 1920s by Stanley Burroughs. It is an ancient Tibetan methodology meaning "vitality through the reflexes". Its theory is based on the fact that slight pressure applied to the body creates an electric charge that is therapeutic to the body. This is known as piezoelectric.
Feather Stroking - This is similar to a massage term technique called effleurage. But this technique was actually termed by the Native American Indians.
How does Raindrop get its Name?
Essential oils are actually dropped from about 6 inches above your spine, simulating rain drops! It feels like a rain drop gently striking your spine, and it is very relaxing and comforting.
It is thought that the oils interact with a person's electric field before even penetrating the skin of the back. Thereby, enhancing the electromagnetic properties of the oils as well. Amazing!
What are the Benefits of Raindrop Technique?
There are numerous benefits of the Raindrop Technique. Here are just a few:
Balance and Re-align the Energy Centers of the Body – The combination of techniques brings electrical and structural alignment to the body. The essential oil blend of Valor helps the body align and is often referred to as "chiropractor in the bottle".
Non-Manipulative Technique – No manipulation as in chiropractic is performed. The oils help support the body to come back into harmony by opening energy flow throughout the body.
Reduce Stress and tension - Not only can the oils enhance positive emotions such as joy and happiness, but they can also help us release negative emotions that are subconsciously stored on a cellular level
Aid the Body's Natural Response to Irritation and Injury – Thyme and Oregano support the immune, respiratory, nervous, and other body systems*. They are strong antioxidants.
Eases Muscle Discomfort after Exercise – Muscles that are tense and in minor discomfort due to exercise will also benefit. Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress and Peppermint essential oils may reduce tension. See the section on oils for muscles for more information!
Support Healthy Immune System – Thyme and Oregano essential oils support a healthy immune system*.
Emotional Well Being and Release – Essential oils effect the limbic system where emotions are stored in the "brain's emotional computer".
Help Detox the Body Systems – The oils that are high in phenols may cleanse cellular receptor sites and enhance cleansing of the body.
And many more!
What Essential Oils are used in the Raindrop Technique?
These are the oils that are used in Raindrop Technique! Look up the oils in your desk reference to see the non-compliant uses for oils. They are beyond just a pretty smell that most essential oils are marketed for and create cellular changes in the body and blood. Young Living hasn't been around for 30 years because of a smell, they have the research and function of changing your health that they are famous for.

Valor or Valor II Essential Oil Blend
Thyme Essential Oil

Wintergreen Essential Oil

Young Living sells a Raindrop Technique kit Item #: 3137 $155.75, that gives you 5 treatments at home, and you follow along with the directions enclosed. A treatment in a spa would cost you $110 or more. Its easy to follow along with the video below and do it yourself at home. It is a wonderful way to boost our wellness especially in the winter or when we do extremely hard physical work and all our muscles are screaming. It is one of the best things that my husband likes me to do when he is done with his construction work in the city. He sleeps well, it soothes every muscle in his body and boosts his immune system at the same time. So many benefits to this beautiful treatment and all for an affordable price.
If you are alone and need the support, apply the oils to your feet or follow the chart below! 
Finally, do you have kids going back to school? If you have ever dealt with kids sharing hats and brushes and the consequences of that, you know you would do anything to prevent it. Happy Hair Spray is a wonderful daily spray that your kids can spray on themselves or you can help them after their shower. No need to rinse, just dry or style as usual and do daily to keep the yucky hair bugs away! Make sure to use a glass spray bottle or stainless steal. You never want to put oils in a plastic bottle! Prevention is the best medicine!
I hope this education benefits you and if you would like to host a Raindrop class in your home to watch a live demonstration of the Raindrop being performed, lets connect. If you would like more information on product usage or account and shipping information or assistance, please reach out. We always want to serve our customers well and help you enjoy wellness and abundance in every area of life!

Did you know that the store bought bleach is full of toxins? Did you know those toxins prevent your body / systems from functioning normally?
(Hmm, maybe that's why I couldn't breathe normally after using it? Hmm, maybe that's why so many people get horrible migraines and lung burning after using it?)
Well, I haven’t used bleach in over nine years now... instead... THIS!!! It is safe to be used around children and pets and I have gotten rust out of white curtains using this and my summer whites glimmer with no toxic bleach. I make a gallon bottle and store it in my laundry room. I hope you have great results too.

Do you struggle with UTI's? This is the bomb for you! This is long but great information!
Kidney tips 
I personally have been taking this daily! But you can also use it for when situations arise. I ALWAYS keep an extra bottle on hand for emergencies because when you need it, shipping can't come quick enough.
K&B Tincture - Why everyone needs this!
UTI for one! Kicks it in the butt. 
I have only had one in my life, but when I did, ouch, and I added 3 drops of Juniper oil and 3 drops of Oregano daily along with taking the K&B. I felt my discomfort go away overnight and I kept taking the drops until the whole bottle was gone just to make sure that it took care of everything. Hence why I always have an extra on hand. Just incase! Today our toxic load is so high in this world that our kidneys are burdened! The herbicide glyphosate (Roundup) is a huge problem for the kidneys - and now we know it is found in non-organic grains like wheat, oats (Cheerios and other cereal), and even contaminates organic lentils and legumes.
A 90-year-old has only 1/3 - 1/2 of the kidney function of a 20-year-old.
This means that as we age we have a decrease in our ability to rid the body of many toxins.
K&B is your kidney anti-aging secret!
We don't want to have “normal kidney function for our age" - "normal" is not healthy.
K&B is the only supplement from YL that is specifically formulated to support the kidneys, bladder and urinary tract system.
What do Kidneys Do for Us?
The kidneys are filters. They filter the blood 60 times a day.
The blood is moving through the kidneys in high volume.
They rid the body of industrial toxins and heavy metals.
They rid the body of unwanted products of metabolism (ammonia, urea, uric acid, creatinine, hormone metabolites and toxins that have been made water soluble by the liver).
The kidneys help keep the concentration of your blood with the right amount of water and minerals and filter out the bad stuff.
Because the kidneys regulate minerals they regulate the body’s pH. Food, lifestyle contribute to proper pH but it is the kidney’s job to dial in pH.
Sodium regulation - means the kidneys play a role in proper blood pressure.
Before starting other detox protocols, like a heavy metal detox, start with K&B. Water soluble toxins are excreted though the kidneys, so we want them in tip top shape!
K&B is a Tincture
Herbal tinctures are another way we can get the potent part of the plant in a more concentrated form that is consumable. K&B is a combo of wonderful herbs extracted using alcohol.
Tinctures are highly concentrated and you can keep them for a very long time because they are compounded in alcohol.
Why alcohol?
Some plants require extraction with a solvent (alcohol) to get the magnitude of goodness. Water would not work. This is a pure alcohol that is dietary.
Add the tincture to water, add to NR, or squirt it right in your mouth.
Refrigerate after opening and it will last a long, long time.
Taste?
Not good, to some people.
I personally take it in juice or Ningxia Red.
Instructions for Use:
Shake very well.
Start on the low end. Dr Minke suggests 2 droppers two times a day is plenty for most people.
The label says, 3 droppers three times a day by itself or in filtered water.
You can use it regularly, or you can take it for awhile and take time off.
Adults and children over the age of 12.
Shelf Life
Refrigerate after opening and you’ll be able to keep them for a long time. Shake before use.
The bottle says, "Keep in a cool dry place."
It is a tincture with alcohol and EOs to preserve.
Tinctures with alcohol can last a long, long time. 12-14 months or more when you make your own tinctures.
Ingredients
Extracts of juniper berries, which enhance the body's efforts to maintain proper fluid balance.
Parsley, which supports kidney and bladder function and aids overall urinary health
Urva ursi, which supports both urinary and digestive system health.
Dandelion root
Royal Jelly (K&B is not a vegan product)
K & B is enhanced with therapeutic-grade essential oils.
German chamomile
Geranium - keeps liver flowing
Fennel
Clove - fabulous for promoting circulation at the micro level (capillaries). Important for proper kidney health.
Roman chamomile
Sage
Juniper
Be sure to look up all these ingredients in your reference materials to fully appreciate the POWER of K&B!
How to use a Glass Dropper.
YL provides tinctures with a measured glass dropper.
To use a dropper to get proper dosage, first squeeze the bulb to release the contents, while continuing to squeeze the bulb, submerge the dropper into the tincture, release to suck up the right amount of K&B.
That is a full dropper as directed on the label (even though the dropper appears to be half full).
Two droppers (looks like half-filled) gives you 2ml.
Tinctures are Highly Absorbable
Herbal tinctures and liquid preparations of herbs are highly absorbable, in this case a bounty of herbs are added to aid digestion, cleanse the bowels, the blood, the liver and building and supporting all body systems including the Lymphatic System, Cardiovascular System, Circulatory System.
Thank you, Gary for such amazing products!
We look forward to helping you stay healthy and feel great. If you have any questions about reactivating, or need help with shipping, or product usage, please reach out. We are here to serve you!

Its August 1st, can you believe it? I feel like Summer was just beginning and now it is heading towards Fall. As we head into the hottest days of the Summer in most places, at least in the United States, I will share a recipe that my husband just made this week and its so good I think you will want to try it! He took a gallon ice tea jar and made iced green tea, added fresh squeezed lemon juice and 3 squeezes of our Bergamot/Grapefruit Vitality drops (we also have Jade Lemon, and Tangerine Energy drops) This beautiful drink has no sugar but perfectly sweet and such a refreshing cold drink on a hot summer day! Our Vitality drops are .42 cents a serving, and contains electrolytes to help with dehydration and refreshing the body when it needs it on hot days or when your exerting yourself. My husband has told me they cannot ever come off our Loyalty order. We generally use them only when we are out and about and we get water in a restaurant and feel like we are having a sweet treat drink for only .42 cents versus paying 3.00 for an ice tea or coffee. If you have not tried our energy flavors, these can replace your afternoon crashes with a healthier boost of energy without harmful ingredients and without the dehydrating effects of coffee. Let me know if you have tried them, I think you will be pleasantly surprised!
Make sure to check out Young Living free promos this month. All designed to help support healthy digestion. Whether you are on Loyalty Rewards or not, you get to enjoy free products whenever you reach a qualifying amount! If you are on Loyalty Rewards, you not only get the free promos, you also get the dollar for dollar points to redeem for your purchases so you get more free product!

Who loves Cilantro? It is so good in salads and in our Mexican dishes. My husband and I grow it in our organic garden and we use it all summer on tacos, chili rellenos and salads and we also freeze it in ice cubes for winter for those moments when your making a meal and you realize you forgot to grab it from the store. You might just think this is just good flavor for meals but most plants have medicinal properties and cilantro is packed full of them! (hence why we use essential oils from plants)
Cilantrol is a natural chelator. When I was young, my mom had me do chelation which helps remove heavy metals from the body. Here is a great article about chelation: 4 Benefits of Chelation Therapy | Robbins Natural Health
Some Signs and Symptoms of Heavy Metal Overload: https://www.drfelty.com/post/gentle-heavy-metal-detox
- Depression
- Dementia
- Insomnia
- Chronic fatigue
- Poor recovery from workout
- Poor memory and learning
- Digestive issues, such as IBS (irritable bowel syndrome)
- Skin irritation
- Autoimmune diseases
- Neurological disorders
- Chronic aches and pains
- Anemia
- Heart problems
- ADD/ADHD
- Bronchitis
- Asthma
Have chlorella with cilantro 3 times a day for up to 3 months. You can do this by adding them to your smoothie, stir fry, salad, juice, dressing, sauce, rice, etc. According to various studies, heavy metal chelation using cilantro and chlorella can naturally remove an average of 87% of lead, 91% of mercury, and 74% of aluminum from the body within 45 days.
Cilantro Vitality™ provides cleansing properties and may support the digestive and immune systems. In addition, it offers a fresh herbal flavor that can be used in place of fresh cilantro to elevate your cooking.
Cilantro does your body good!
Lavender anyone? Did you know that Lavender is known as the Swiss Army Knife of Oils? It creates a hostile environment to bacteria and fungus, yeast, microbes, helps wounds, helps soothe itchy and irritated skin, and helps your hair thickness and helps you sleep. BUT, did you also know it creates a healthy blood flow? To even the most sensitive areas of the body? There is a book Lucy Libido that you can grab on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lucy-Libido-Says-Theres-THAT/dp/153069079X
and it gives you all the tips and tricks on how to use Young Living oils for the bedroom. Kick the current stressors in your life to the curb and keep the heat turned up in the bedroom with these recipes and if your asking if they are safe to use in this way? I have thousands of people that happily say YES!!! The main tip with using your oils in the sensitive areas of the body, is to make sure you use a carrier oil, and you will help ignite the flame in your marriage! Really!!
A tried and true recipe that is amazing for both men and women to enjoy: Lub rub: 20 drops Copaiba, 15 drops Palo Santo, 3 drops Lemongrass, 10 drops Lavender in a 1/4 cup of unrefined coconut oil in a glass jar. Keep it next to the bed and enjoy the oily benefits! Essential oils are good for EVERY part of the body, really! 
This particular recipe is also good for soothing aching knees when used several times a day! Multi-use is the name of the game with Young Living oils! They are excellent Multi-taskers!
This particular recipe is also good for soothing aching knees when used several times a day! Multi-use is the name of the game with Young Living oils! They are excellent Multi-taskers!
We used to hold Lucy Libido classes and only women came, it was educational and informative. BUT then we had couples classes where the couples learned together what each of these oils can do for the bedroom and I have to say it was a hoot to invite the husbands. They were rowdy and fun and definitely told their wives to order whatever they wanted! Grab the book and let us know if you would like us to teach a class at your home with your girlfriends. Its a great night out and everyone will enjoy the good, clean and fun education they take home!

This beautiful oil comes in a 5ml and its distilled from the branches of a Conifer tree. It is an amazing addition to your Wellness Chest

From my heart today, I know there is so much stress and anxiety and struggle going on in so many of your lives today. It seems there are numerous amounts of people that are all under such heavy emotional turmoil. I have been helping with the care of my elderly mother more than my normal once a week visit that I have done for almost 30 years. After a recent fall from her not holding on to a solid surface while cooking, we are now in the depths of full time care for her. I feel like I am a natural caregiver, but I have to fully admit that this has completely thrown me for a loop, a loop I feel has taxed me beyond what I knew was possible. The atrophy that has set in with my 94 year old mom and the loss of her memory, not just from her age but her recent surgery from her fall has created situations in caring for her that are sometimes unmanageable for the best of us. For years I have done respite care for the elderly part time just because I love it, but I will say that when it is your own loved one, it is very different and has challenged me in ways that I never expected. My adrenals have been taxed since I was widowed many years ago when I was 28 with three small kids. The first of many losses and traumas. But since then, I have learned many ways to combat the overwhelming stresses of life, loss, grief, and trauma. I will share three of the ways that have best helped me but also the current challenge is one that gives me an even greater sense of compassion for those who care for their loved ones full-time and many on their own. It is something I thought I was well versed in and yet I am finding that I have had just a small glance into the life of caring for a loved one full time and the toll it takes on your mind, your body and your family. In the video below, I talk about the difficulties of Caregiving and the toll it takes, and the ways I and my family have worked through past trauma, stress and PTSD.
Please like, subscribe and share if you think it would be of benefit to your friends and family!
Below are the most used Young Living products that I have found that have helped, and two links to some Non-YL techniques that I have found to be incredibly helpful over the years that you can do anywhere, anytime, and can really deliver much relief to anxiety and stress and feeling of overwhelm when you are going through difficult emotions or physical issues. I hope it serves you today, and helps you with whatever you are experiencing.

Sleeping with your cell phone and Anxiety: https://www.verywellhealth.com/reasons-why-you-should-not-sleep-with-your-cell-phone-4140997
I have learned in recent years to keep your phone away from where you sleep. I keep my phone in the hall where I can still hear it but when I have fallen asleep with my phone in my room, I have noticed sleeplessness, irritability and anxiousness especially when I am trying to sleep. Then, when I take my phone back out and have it away from my brain and my body while I am trying to sleep, I find that I fall asleep right away, and sleep soundly without interruptions. It was an accidental experiment, even though I knew cell phone radiation was not good for the body, I gave the excuse to myself that I needed the alarm to wake me up in the morning. When I started having major issues sleeping without restlessness through the night, where I had never had that before, I decided to purchase a good old fashioned alarm clock without any type of internet connection to it, and put my phone in the hall while we slept. I was incredibly surprised to find that I fell asleep quickly and no longer experienced restlessness or brain disfunction while sleeping. Its especially important to keep your phones away from your children and babies. Kids absorb 46% more radiation than adults and can cause focus problems, anxiety, irritability and behavioral issues.
I encourage you to try the above methods daily to help whatever stresses and anxieties you are facing right now. Healing is always a choice, and a powerful message to those around you that you value your time, your life, and you make your health a priority!
Dealing with S.T.R.E.S.S. - and the consequences of flab, fatigue, messed up hormones, low metabolism....
.
When stress is chronically high, the body produces excessive cortisol over time.
.
Adrenal fatigue can bring with it negative health consequences such as fatigue, weight gain, and cardiovascular disorders.
.
Here are a few key ingredients of Cortistop that may help balance the stress response naturally.
Pregnenolone and DHEA: Precursor hormones from which 50 other hormones are made.
.
(When cortisol/stress is high, DHEA levels can fall. You may see your immune system take a hit, belly fat grow, water retention, sluggish thyroid, low body temp, slow metabolism, PMS, mood issues, poor memory and more).
.
Phosphatidylcholine may protect the brain, liver and stomach during times of stress.
.
Phosphatidylserine may blunt cortisol production.
.
Black cohosh helps stop stress responses, and may elevate mood.
.
Clary sage and frankincense have uplifting energy.
.
Fennel and peppermint can help soothe the stomach.
If you have not tried Cortistop, grab yourself a bottle and give it a try. You will be amazed!!!

Summer is in full swing in most parts of the world and in the USA school is right around the corner. I know we don't like to think about that as we are enjoying the fun moments of summer but its good to be prepared for keeping your kids healthy during the fall, as well as stocking up on pencils and folders and college dorm furniture. Keeping your family healthy, naturally reaps benefits that last a lifetime!
Who else is gardening with oils? Protect your plants and yourself from all the little critters that bite!
Do you know Young Living does NOT use any pesticides or chemicals on ANY of our land? None. They hand weed (that takes a boat load of time) but they do it so your oils are pure and unadulterated!!! That’s why we can rub them on our belly and put them in our drinks and diffuse them without harm.
I hope you are all using your bug deterrent oils on yourself and your pets that go outdoors We not only use them on ourselves, and our dog, but also our chickens. We all want to stay bug free this summer!
Below is a YouTube video that I prepared on the cost saving Premium Starter kit and how to use it to effectively keep your family healthier at all times of the year but especially during the start of the school season and Fall/Winter months. Did you know that even if you are already a Young Living member you can purchase another starter kit? And now you can even put it on your Loyalty Rewards and get your cash back points for it too! Its a win, win! I have a diffuser in every room in my home and that is a result of purchasing a new starter kit multiple times. Instead of spending $70 on just a diffuser, I am able to grab a diffuser, 12 powerful oils and all the extras that come in the Premium Starter kit for $165.00. It is available for Shop and Loyalty orders! I hope you enjoy the video, please like, subscribe and share as we are starting to use this vehicle for teaching our members all around the world.
For those who are local in Northern Illinois and South Eastern Wisconsin, we are having two classes for the month of July, the sign up links will be sent to your email by the end of the week so you can grab a friend and come and enjoy learning about our supplements, sipping on coolers while on Silver Lake Beach as the sun sets and enjoy learning the Raindrop Technique in a local home! Keep your eyes peeled for those class links!
Speaking of back to school, are you enjoying the free promotions from Young Living this month? Did you know that every month everyone has the opportunity to get hundreds of dollars worth of free product from Young Living and Loyalty rewards members not only get the free product but they also get 10-25% back in dollar for dollar points to redeem for even more free product! Young Living is by far the most generous company that I have ever purchased from. Where else can you get 25% cash back on your orders? If you have not jumped on Loyalty Rewards and would like to learn more, respond to this email and I can help answer all your questions. I have been on Loyalty for more than 10 years and I get 25% back on all of my monthly orders from small ones to large ones and every month I redeem those points for even more products that I love to support my family and their health. There is never an obligation but its always a bonus even if you just order Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint monthly to keep those seasonal itchy, sneezy, scratchy issues at bay naturally with no harmful effects.
Young Living is giving us products that will help prepare us for back to school and if you don't have kids, you can still enjoy the taste of the Mighty Vites Vitamins, the calming effects of Peace and Calming oil blend, the functional room spritzer and the bliss of the Lavender Bath Bombs after a hot summers day! If you place your Loyalty order by July 5th, you will also receive $10 extra Loyalty Reward points and get your orders in before the rush of Convention orders later this month!
Have you heard of Regenolone lotion? Not only is this not your average lotion, it is incredible for balancing hormones, joint discomfort and support and beautiful skin. After I had knee surgery, many long time Young Living members encouraged me to use it on my knee! I was confused at first but so many encouraged me to try it that I figured I would do it for a month and see what happens. I just started using it daily about a month ago and I cannot imagine a day without it now! I would love to hear your experiences! Try it out on that joint that is forever bothering you, or use it daily on your face and tummy for extra hormone support and beautiful skin for just a month and see what your results are.
Rose Oil, what's the hype?
Rose essential oil - did you know it takes 60 thousand rose blossoms to provide only one ounce of rose oil. One of the main reasons it is one of our most expensive oils. 
I bought this bottle “years” ago - remember our oils do not expire- and I just add it to other mixes in small quantities to make it last! This is one oil that I never share
After you open rose oil, the next time you go to use it the bottle will look empty, but don’t freak out like I did, just roll the bottle between your warm hands and it will turn back to liquid. It’s natural occurring with rose oil. It will harden like glass and then return to its liquid state when rolled in your palms. Cool isn’t it??? 
According to the 6th edition desk reference, Rose has been used for the skin for thousands of years. The Arab physician Avicenna, was responsible for first distilling rose oil, eventually authoring an entire book on the healing attributes of the rose water services from the distillation of rose. 
It’s beautiful fragrance is intoxicating and aphrodisiac-like. It helps bring balance and harmony helping us to overcome feelings of insecurity. 
It helps our cells be strong and fight. 
It helps create a hostile environment to virus’ 
It helps support a healthy cardiovascular system 
It helps us ladies and men age gracefully from the inside out. 
It helps soothe troubled skin. Rose 
It helps the bodies natural response to inflammation. 
Check it out in your desk reference, it has many more ways it helps our body!!! 
STRESS ANYONE?
Some of my favorites to help me Stress Less:
Evening Peace Bath Gel: a calming blend of oils such coriander, bergamot, ylang ylang and geranium to invoke feelings of serenity and relaxation. Works great for bubble baths.
Gratitude oil: When we concentrate on the things we are grateful for instead of the things that we are stressed about, then we are able to enjoy the present moment more.
Cedarwood: a great oil to use alone or in blends to ease anxious feelings that come with stress.
Eucalyptus Globulus, V6 oil and Olive Wood Massage tool: To help promote health, well-being, and healing. Pair together using the massage tool to relieve stress induced tension.
62? What does this number mean to me?
I have been thinking about all the years I have been doing YL. It will be almost 13 years in February...10 years since I started making it a priority to do it to earn a paycheck.
62.............
When I started Young Living, I just needed to make enough to pay for my order and give me a couple extra hundred dollars a month as a supplement to my widows pay (SS) after loosing my husband. It was very important to me to stay home with my children and not work so I decided to live on the Social Security that I was receiving after my husband died. I did have to supplement a little to have healthy food and supplements in our diet so I started cleaning houses. I didn't have health insurance and the best way to keep us healthy was to live healthy, so cutting out the healthy diet and supplements was not an option. Its cheaper to be well, then to be sick. I was making $15 dollars an hour cleaning houses and I took my kids with me to do their school work at the table of the houses I was cleaning. NOT FUN, very stressful, but I made it work. If something is important, you will find a way.
In comes YL. I didn't have the extra money to spend on Young Living products when I first signed up. Literally not an extra dime, but I did have a 100 a month budget for supplements, as vitamins had always been part of our life. So in order to get free Essential Rewards cash so I could buy some oils, I transferred my vitamin budget to YL vitamins. With doing that $100 a month, I could also earn a thank you check from YL as well for sharing the oils. SCORE>>>>
Do you know YL only requires $100 a month on products YOU get to use in YOUR home to gain a paycheck? Never any more, even when you are Royal Crown Status and making over 100,000+ a MONTH....Yes that is a real figure for real people, like stay at home moms who love to share what they love.
I had no intention of doing it as a business, but I just wanted my oils paid for and wanted the ER points to redeem for oils since I didn't have the money to pay for them myself.
Then the products were so good I had to tell people I knew about them because I wanted them to have the same amazing results. When your life is changed, you want to help your friends too.
Sometimes over the years it seemed like I worked for free, since I spent time posting and reaching out to members, answering calls and sending texts. Is it really worth it I asked? I'm not a fast enroller so it seemed i was working for nothing..... If your a fast enroller, you can reach each rank even faster, some make it to Royal Crown Diamond in two years. That is not my story, but it could be yours!
Remember I was cleaning houses, not being present with my children and away from my home, doing lots of physical labor for $15 dollars an hour....minus gas, minus freedom, minus time with my kids,......and so on.
But every conference I went to and every personal development video I watched, reiterated that entrepreneur's sometimes work for free on the front side but have to do less work on the backside. All of the YL Diamonds said that too... The higher up you rank, the number of hours you need to work is less. BONUS
So every time I wanted to quit, I called my upline and talked with her. She talked me off the ledge MANY a time....Before each rank up that I achieved, inevitably I wanted to quit, but calling for support is key....Its worth it she would say, stay the course, be in it for the long haul.....its worth it. Residual income is a thing, creating an income that will pay you when you are on vacation is a thing....creating an income that will pay you when we have a pandemic and the outside world is shut down is a thing....its a beautiful thing...
So I kept plugging away, ranking up slowly, but surely....Doing all the things...
When I graduated High School I worked downtown Chicago, making $26,000 a year as an executive secretary. Not bad for an 18 year old but you definitely cannot raise a family on this. I worked 40 hours a week and had to take a 90 minute train ride TWICE a day, walk a mile once I got into the city to my office, I had to buy business attire, shoes, lunches, AND a monthly train pass. Oh Yeah, I had to live on the rest after taxes.....
Todays average salary for what I was doing almost 30 years ago is ONLY $31,421 a year according to Glassdoor. : ( Minus all the above monthly expenses to boot.
I am a couple thousand away from Platinum rank with YL. Its been 10 years and although that sounds like a LONNNNNNG time, (it has felt like it sometimes) (the average salary MONTHLY for a Platinum is $9,929.00. It could be more, or a 1-2,000 less depending on how many you have in your organization at that level. But, Yes, that is monthly....Working 20 hours a week. So is waiting 10 years (7 years to hit GOLD) worth it? Absolutely! Again many grow faster than me, but I had my kids to raise alone and with homeschooling, I grew at the pace that my family needed. It worked well for us.
So what is the number 62? That is what I calculated if I were to be making an hourly wage at my current GOLD rank. I took my monthly average salary and divided it by 80, as I generally work about 20 hours a week, from my home, with no travel expenses unless I choose that, and I am with my family, and have lots of write offs, and this is what I make an hour. $62 dollars an hour for working part time....And did I mention I can work from anywhere? So when I go visit my kids in Cali and Indiana I can still work at night when all are asleep, or if I travel to teach classes I can still work and keep my business going...In January last year I was working from the beach, its a beautiful thing.
Did I tell you that Young Living income is willable, so you can pass down your account to a child, a spouse, a grandchild and they can continue your business at your rank, receiving your paycheck that you worked so hard for! It doesn't go away when you die like most sources of income. And you can sign up your aging mother, or your children and build under them helping them to create a residual income for themselves too as they grow! Its a wonderful perk of sharing Young Living.
So I am celebrating 62 because I would not be able to make $62 dollars an hour, especially working part time, if I were doing the job that I was trained for right out of college. I don't know of any job that I personally could do that would reap me an hourly wage like this that I would not only be qualified to do after staying home for 30 years with my children, but also that I love as passionately as I do working with Young Living and all my members. I love what I do and I wake up daily excited to do it again!
Is 62 worth it for you to keep going? For you to stay the course? For you to start afresh? For you to change someone's world and yours?
What will you be doing this year to live the life you desire? Send me your answer and I will enter your name for our July GIVEAWAY, a bottle of Abundance oil blend..I would love to encourage you in living your dream!
