These promos are definitely ones to give thanks for and they're as exciting as the upcoming holiday season! Young Living didn't disappoint!
Let's go ahead and skip right to the 400 PV promo, shall we? Yep! You're seeing that right! Higher Unity is an exclusive blend valued at over $170 retail and only available as part of these November promos! Higher Unity is made with Sacred Sandalwood, Lime, Sacred Frankincense, Spearmint, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Lemon, Jasmine, and Rose. Ummmm....those are some AMAZING oils in that blend! Sacred Sandalwood, Sacred Frankincense, Jasmine, AND Rose?! YES, PLEASE!!! What I've been told is that it has a floral, sweet, and uplifting aroma, with Sacred Sandalwood and Northern Lights Black Spruce adding in some of those woodsy tones to balance it all out. I CANNOT WAIT to put this oil in the diffuser!!!
How am I going to get it? With the holidays in full swing, I'm going to offer for friends and family to add some items to my ER order so they can cross a few things off their holiday shopping list and I can enjoy the Higher Unity, along with the rest of the incredible promos and the 100 ER points I'll earn because I get 25% points on every order I place! Boo-yah!!!
Let's talk about the rest of these amazing promos!
Nutmeg Vitality will add the perfect spice to your Thanksgiving gatherings. Everything from pumpkin pies to spiced nuts and chai tea. It also supports the immune, circulatory, nervous, digestive, musculoskeletal and endocrine systems. It's a pretty amazing oil!
A 15 ml bottle of Christmas Spirit??? If somehow you haven't tried this oil yet, you REALLY need it in your life. It's the perfect fall and winter aroma that will make you happy throughout your day, tapping into the joy and comfort of the season! Northern Lights Black Spruce is grounding, courage inducing, balancing, and revitalizing. You'll want to diffuse both of these oils around the clock during the next couple of months to spread the cheer to all who come near. Either would also be GREAT to use in the glass diffuser ornament!
Myrrh and Sacred Frankincense are reminders of two of the precious gifts that were brought to baby Jesus. The properties of these two oils are well worth a google search! You'll fall in love with adding these oils to your skin care routines and wait until you discover how incredible they are for calming and helping you feel secure and confident during this busy season!

Our Mission: Love Others Well & Empower Them to Do the Same

Our family has a unique way of "celebrating" Halloween. We give out candy, like so many others, but we also have a cocoa and cookie stand set up. We offer everyone who comes a cup of cocoa and ask if they mind if we say a quick prayer for them while we fill their cup. It's rare that anyone ever says no and oftentimes the parents will share a specific request for prayer. It's another way that we can love others well.

Refrigerate at least an hour to allow the pie to finish firming up. Cut into squares and serve with whip topping if desired. ENJOY!

Pumpkin Spice Coffee (Stephanie Ours)
Pumpkin Spice is back, baby!! But let’s be honest, those coffee store drinks aren’t exactly the best for you.
Here’s how you can use your Vitality oils to create your own:
Mix together in an empty (and clean) 15ml bottle
-20 drops Nutmeg Vitality
-10 drops Ginger Vitality
-30 drops Clove Vitality
-20 drops Orange Vitality
-30 drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality
Swirl it all together. Now for the fun part. Infusing your coffee!!!
1. Open a new bag of your favorite Fair-trade organic coffee.
Stick your nose in the bag and inhale deeply (Ok, you can skip that part, but seriously, not much smells better ).
2. Drop in 30-50 drops of the Pumpkin Spice Blend.
3. Reseal the bag and give it a good shake. Now let it sit for 24 hours.***
4. Brew coffee as normal.

Want more Pumpkin Spice Flavor? Add a drop right to your coffee!
Bonus: This perfect Pumpkin Spice Vitality blend can be used to infuse into all your favorite fall recipes!!
***Note from Andrea: I recommend storing the beans in a GLASS container, rather than the coffee bag.
Citrus oils can break down plastic, transferring those compounds to your coffee.

Our Mission: Love Others Well & Empower Them to Do the Same

Continuing with my series on "A Few of My Favorite Things"...Here are my favorite ways to kick off my day!
(Click on the links to learn more.)
Shower & Glam
- I shower using YL's Morning Start Bath Gel and finish with the ART skincare system. I love how both make my skin feel and they're free of harmful toxins and chemicals, which makes them even better!


- Savvy Minerals makeup is applied (click on the link to see all of the latest colors & application tips) and lasts ALLLLL day!

My Must-Have Morning Supplements & Oils
- 1-2 ounces of Ningxia Red (Immune System Support & Support of Overall Wellness in each body system)
- 1 T Mindwise (Clear thinking, focus, heart health and so much more! What a HUGE difference this makes for me!)
- Super B (maintain healthy energy levels, supports mood, cardiovascular and cognitive function)
- Sulfurzyme, AgileEase, & BLM (For LOTS of joint support and more, especially as I continue to support my body in healing from recent injuries.)



- Super C (immune System Support)

- Super Cal Plus (Bone Health) - I'm 49 and female...need I say more as to why this supplement is so important?

- Lady Sclereol (Healthy Hormonal Balance & to enhance the feminine nature) - apply it below the outer, right ankle on the soft area and on the pulse points, like perfume
- Last, but definitely not least...I do a swipe of Endoflex and Lemongrass (pre-mixed with a carrier oil in a roller bottle) directly on my thyroid. It helps to support a healthy endocrine system, hormonal balance and energy levels.
That may seem like a lot to do before you head out the door, but it takes less than 5 minutes to take the supplements and you could always pre-load them into a weekly pill box for even greater convenience. Also, nothing says you need to (or should) do everything I do. Take the suggestions that you think would work for you and leave the rest behind. And...
ENJOY your day!!!
Our Mission: Love Others Well & Empower Them to Do the Same

Last week, I began a new series in my weekly newsletter - " A Few of My Favorite Things." I thought it would be great to also share it on my blog. In this series, I'll be sharing favorite tips, my go-to support for specific body systems, favorite food and DIY recipes, diffuser blends, and morning / daytime / evening favorites. While everyone's favorites vary, my hope in sharing mine is to help you find some fun, new ways to use your oils, discover some solutions and hacks to everyday challenges, and learn of new ways to work toward your personal health and wellness goals for you and your family.
Favorite Tips: Peppermint
Ever get the hiccups? It's rare for me, but when I do get them, they're no joke! You're going to think this is crazy, but the next time you have hiccups, apply Peppermint to your wrists. I can't tell you why or how it works, but you'll find the support it offers to your circulatory system helps to alleviate the discomfort of hiccups. Such a cool, little life hack! ;)

With the holidays nearly upon us, you'll find Peppermint Vitality to be your go-to in adding flavor to your culinary delights. Cocoa, coffee, tea...just a drop will add a wonderful minty twist to your cold weather favorites! Add 6-10 drops to your favorite brownie mix or fudge recipe and you have a gift-giving worthy treat to share with neighbors and friends!
Favorite GOOD Morning Start:
There's nothing like kicking off the day with Peppermint & Lemon in the diffuser! It's my favorite "perk me up" blend!

Favorite Way to Order: ER & YL Go
What I love is that I can make sure to never run out of my daily must-haves because I include them in my monthly Essential Rewards order and they're delivered right to my door. Plus, I earn points on every order that I can redeem for free product, so it's like getting a rebate with each ER order that's placed. With a free oil at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, I'm getting even more for my money. That's stretched even further with having enrolled for YL Go / YL Go+ (the free shipping subscription). That makes this budget-conscious girl HAPPY!!! If you haven't enrolled in ER yet, let's chat and see if it's right for you!


Favorite Way to Get the Most for My Dollar: YL's Premium Starter Kit (PSK)
YL's Premium Starter Kit is the only thing Young Living offers at 50% off. You get over $300 worth of product, including 11 oils, a diffuser, a sample of Thieves Household Cleaner, 2 Ningxia Red packets, sample bottles and more, plus a wholesale membership that gives you 24% off of any future orders you place.
