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

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

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


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



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

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

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

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



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



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


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

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


Have you ever seen such a beautiful gift set?  If you have never purchased Christmas Spirit oil blend, you are missing out.  It evokes a sense of security and peace when diffused throughout the house.  I love to put a drop of this beautiful seasonal oil under my tongue to boost my immune system and because it tastes wonderful.  The soap is a seasonal favorite and move over toxic hand soaps and bring this beautiful soap as a hostess gift.  It will be one of their favorite gifts.  

And this Thieves Gift set?  Its a lovely gift set for a new homeowner, apartment dweller, or even a new mama that wants to have safe products in her home for her sweet babies.

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!
