Young Living Lovin - November 2016
Giving Thanks...
While constantly being bombarded with advertisements of "what you need," it is all too easy to forget what you have. If you're reading this, then at the very least you have an education, money for internet, and a safe place to read...that's pretty extraordinary considering the comparisons around the world.
So while you absolutely should strive for things to enrich your life, don't lose track of the things you have that already do. Enjoy this season of gratitude with a healthy mind/body/spirit!
DiGize to the rescue!
This blend (tarragon, ginger, peppermint, juniper, fennel, lemongrass, anise, patchouli) is an absolute powerhouse for easing the discomforts of a wide spectrum of digestive concerns. Take a few drops in a capsule, place one drop under your tongue, rub clockwise on your stomach, or apply to your vita flex points for relief.
Nerd Find: It has been found to rid people AND animals of parasites when applied to their feet.
GRATITUDE... for all of it
Begin each day with a grateful heart.
Place a drop Gratitude over your heart, and let the scent of this blend (balsam fir, frankincense, rosewood, myrrh, galbanum, ylang ylang) remind you of the beauty and abundance in your life.

THOUGHTS ON DIFFUSING
Sometimes I diffuse to simply make my space smell lovely and fresh, but mostly I diffuse with a specific intention for what I need in my space - immunity boosting (Thieves, Purification), emotional uplifting (Joy, Inner Child), focus (Grounding, Vetiver), de-stress (Stress Away, Frankincense), relaxation (Lavender, Peace & Calming), energy (Peppermint, Citrus Fresh), etc.
Keep goodness in your head, your heart, and in the spaces you occupy.
Reminders why Young Living essential oils are second to none:
- Young Living has been around for 20 years and has a Seed To Seal Guarantee. They are the only company in the world that owns their own farms to grow their own crops with no chemical fertilizers or pesticides (they even use essential oils for pest control). Every other company buys their product, usually from third party growers in foreign countries where they give 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th distillations. YL only gives 1st distillations so their oils are WAY more potent and provide many more therapeutic benefits.
- YL tests their oils in their labs and also in 3rd party labs and they reject 30% of all oils received for analysis.
- Oils from Whole Foods (or any health food store) are aroma-grade oils and while they do smell good, they do not offer the same therapeutic benefits because most of them contain less than 5% pure essential oil. YL oils are 100% pure with nothing ever added, or taken away.
- Many essential oils have expiration dates. YL oils do not. Properly stored 100% pure essential oils (excluding citrus) won't ever go bad and will last indefinitely if properly stored away from heat and sunlight. If an essential oil has an expiration date, it isn't pure or has been cut with a carrier oil which will eventually go rancid.
- Only 2% of essential oils sold in North America are suitable for medicinal/therapeutic purposes, and Young Living makes 98% of them!
- Young Living oils meet all industry AFNOR and ISO standards and are subjected to isotopic ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) analysis which determines whether a particular essential oil is naturally sourced or synthetic (created in a lab).
NOVEMBER PROMOS
Don't forget - the easiest way to hit promos is to ask friends and family if they'd like to add any oils/products onto your order. They'll get your generous wholesale discount, and you'll get promo goodies - win win!
EARTHLY LOVE AND LIGHT
My dear friend recently launched a BEAUTIFUL shop full of extraordinary, often one-of-a-kind jewelry to accompany wearing EOs topically. The lava stones on the pieces hold EO scents for day-long wear.

My journey into Young Living Essential Oils is truly one of my most favorite surprises of adulthood. Physically and emotionally, I have found my happy place in them, and my energy and energetic outlook is forever changed for the healthier. I am always so proud to share what has become a full-blown passion of mine with others.
Call/text/email me with ANY questions. If I don't already know the answer, my unapologetic oily nerd self will happily find it and file away the new knowledge.
