Our Mission: Love Others Well & Empower Them to Do the Same
EVERYTHING AUGUST - ALL IN ONE PLACE!!!
Hello, friend! You may be someone who joined our mailing list more for wellness or more for faith. Because we focus on spirit, soul, & body, one email we send out at the start of each month will have mainly a wellness perspective, but it will also include our monthly worship gathering dates, as well as any recent faith posts.
--> All of our contacts have now been sorted, so if you'd like to be certain to get either the faith or the wellness emails, please reply back to let us know.
--> If you discover you've been placed in a category you'd rather not receive emails for, instead of clicking unsubscribe, send us a message and we'll categorize you differently so you're sure to get the communications you'd like to receive.
Onto all the August news!!! This month has SO much to celebrate, including the B.E.S.T. gifts with purchase!!! Oh, my word! Wait until you see all you can get for FREE this month!

IN THE SPIRIT OF THIEVES . . .
With all of the wonderful Thieves gifts with purchase this month, I had to share a favorite recipe using Thieves Household Cleaner, Thieves Laundry Soap, and Lemon Essential Oil. Try it out and see how well it works!
Before signing off, I wanted to ask how it's going for you as you use the new shopping platform? Do you have questions? Need help navigating? Please reach out! I'm happy to help!
Remember, there are lots of tutorials throughout the site, plus I created a guide to help answer the most commonly asked questions. If you still need help, I'm here for you!
If you have children or grandchildren starting school this month, Brian and I pray that this is an incredible year for them! They are today's cultural architects and revivalists!

BEST GIFTS EVERRRRR!!!!!
I'm seriously astounded at the gifts with purchase YL is offering this month! WOW is all I have to say! A Desert Mist diffuser? Lushious Lemon EO? Alllll the Thieves products?! YES, PLEASE!
Keep in mind as you read along whenever you see "Subscription" or "Subscribe to Save (S2S)," it's what used to be called "Essential Rewards" - which was the name of YL's monthly autoship & loyalty rewards program.
S2S is the easy way to order the products you love every 1, 2, or 3 months and now, there's no minimum order requirement! So, if you want a bottle of Lavender (or another product) arriving at your doorstep every month, log in, and instead of clicking "add to cart," click "add to subscription."
Here's some exciting news you want to know! Each time your S2S order is over 50PV, you'll receive 10% back in points that you can basically use as money to order whatever you want - even if your S2s is set up for every 2 or 3 months! After 3 months of consecutive 50+ PV orders, your point earning level goes up to 20% back. Then after 24 months of consecutive 50+ PV orders, you get a whopping 25% points back on each S2S order you place!

Our Mission: Love Others Well & Empower Them to Do the Same
Teach Me . . .
Teach me more about You, how You work and how You move, so that I can walk onward in Your truth until everything within me brings honor to Your name. (Psalm 86:11, TPT)
Ever read a verse in the Bible that makes you feel like your heart and spirit are being pulled out of your chest in longing to draw nearer to Him? That’s how this verse made me feel this morning. It’s hard to even put into words how it felt, and still feels, but there’s such a drawing within me to Him.
I’ve grown so much in my faith and understanding of God, and continue to, because of what I’ve learned from incredible men and women who each passionately pursue His heart, but nothing can replace learning about God directly from Him.
I say it all the time – He still speaks . . . every day, constantly, and He’s always in loving pursuit of our hearts, even when we’ve walked away from Him.
He speaks through His Word, through music, through things that happen in the world around us, as whispers to our hearts, and at times, audibly. We can hear Him speak through a growing garden, clouds in the sky, birds in flight, and countless other common occurrences that, if we’re paying attention, will teach us about His heart, His thoughts, how He works, and moves.
Rooted and steeped in truths of who He is and who we are in Him, we can move forward with power and authority as those who understand what it means to know and be known by Him. In turn, we can’t help but live as those who do what Jesus did while on the earth and greater because we believe what He said we would do, so we do it. (John 14:12) As we do, we bring honor to His name.
Nothing else is above that in my mind. I just want Him – ALL of Him. I want to know more of Him. Understand His thoughts and ways more deeply. Capture His heart more fully. Live before Him with abandon and surrender. Be drawn onward . . . saying yes over and over to Him, knowing He’ll show up each time I do.
Maybe this doesn’t fully make sense, but sometimes words fail me. All I know is that there’s a holy longing within me to know more of Him when I read this verse.
What does it speak to you?

As The Renovated Life, we focus on spirit, soul, and body.
Young Living undergirds our focus on overall health & wellness for our bodies. But . . . that's not our only focus because we want to help meet the needs of the WHOLE person, which includes spirit and soul well-being, too!

JULY'S DIFFUSING CALENDAR
I love all of the great combos shared for each day of the month! Maybe you've gotten into a diffusing rut. Use these ideas to freshen up your daily diffusing with something new!
My new favorite??? I've been diffusing Lushious Lemon every single day! I've diffused it on its own, which is great, but I love adding 2 drops of Lemon Myrtle to it for an added, fresh-home burst. As I'm typing, I'm diffusing it with a couple of drops of Peppermint to promote focus & creativity. Have you ordered Lushious Lemon EO yet? If you haven't, it's a must-have this month!
SHAKESPEARE-INSPIRED PARFUME RECIPES
These wonderful recipes were shared by RCD, Melissa Poepping. If you don't follow her, you really want to! Savvy Minerals Makeup and The Chemical Free Home series were just two of her brainchildren. You can catch her on IG @the_artoflivingwell or on FB at The Chemical Free Home. You'll notice these blends use "gift with purchase oils" that we've gotten over the last three months.
Inspired from Shakespeare’s MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM, I have created 3 blends that are playful, inspiring, seductive, and yet whimsical.
“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows, Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows, Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine, With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
Wear it as a parfume with the conviction and perseverance of Hermia, diffuse it and make a room spray, and live as though every day is the never-ending night of the solstice and let yourself drift as though you are wandering through the magic of the forest that lies outside of Athens.
