Chatting with Andrea & Brian

Our family has done a lot of volunteer work with our local animal shelter and loved sharing that experience together. Did you know that July 5th is one of the busiest days of the year for animal shelters all over the country because the most number of pets get lost on the 4th? 

The reason is because pet owners sometimes underestimate how their pets will react to the loud fireworks going off around them and for those pets that are afraid, their instinct is to run and try to get away from the loud noises. If they are not restrained or on a leash, they could end up lost and may even get hurt while on the run. 

Regardless of whether or not your pet has shown any sign of fear toward fireworks before, you just never know how they will react. Not only that, there are other hazards that can harm pets during the festivities. 

Here are a few practical tips  from PetFinder to help you keep your furbabies safe on the 4th:

From an oily standpoint, there are a few different ways that we help keep our furkids happy and calm during 4th of July week. First, we make sure that we have our diffusers going in the evening to help keep our dogs relaxed and calm during the festivities that happen on multiple nights. We also put a drop or two of our chosen oil (usually Peace & Calming or Lavender) onto our palms, rub them together, then stroke their fur. We may instead rub a bit on their paws or the outsides of their ears. We also do this during thunderstorms to help calm our furbabies during a time that could otherwise be stressful to them.

Here are a few other essential oils that your furry friends may enjoy:

Stress Away
Acceptance
Valor

Try some different combos and see what works for you and your pets. If applying topically, do your research on dilution ratios, especially for smaller dogs. And if your furbabies don’t have to be outside on the 4th, please let them stay inside!

Happy 4th of July, one and ALL!!! 

HAPPY July, friends!

Ever wondered what it might look like to build a Young Living business? Wonder no more! 

In this video, a few of us share what it's been like for us to each build our own business, along with why we jumped in and how we've fit it into our daily lives. We answer some commonly asked questions, dispel some concerns and share our passion for what we do. 

Click on the play button below, take a listen and check out both the income disclosure and compensation plan. Then, let us know what questions you have. We'd love to help you determine if this business is for you and, if it is, help you build, grow and succeed. 

THEY'RE HERE!!! Have you seen all of the new products launched at Convention?!?!?! 

Oh, my word!!!! We're SO excited!!! 

 
The new products are now available for everyone to order by “Quick Order” until July 1st, when you can then add them to your Essential Rewards order.  

Trust me  when I say that  if there are products you REALLY want to make sure to get, don't wait until July to order! Even when YL proactively plans for 5+ months of projected  inventory to be available for these new products (as they did last year with the Savvy Minerals line), we still take them by surprise and  cause products to go out of stock. We’ve learned from previous years that the new products fly off the shelves in a hurry, so don't wait!  

NEW CONVENTION PRODUCTS
Prices listed are wholesale prices.  If you aren't a member yet, ask me for the retail price (24% more) or better yet,  jump in,  get your starter kit and get the wholesale prices now!

Want to know more about each of these new products? The Young Living Training and Education team did a fantastic, 20 minute video giving us all the details! Check it out! (It's on FaceBook, but is public, so you should be able to access it if you're on FaceBook. If you're not following them yet, it's a great page to follow for sure!) 

School is out, the sun is shining, and family trips have already begun! So, as you're filling your orders with Mineral Sunscreen, Insect Repellent, LavaDerm After Sun Spray,  and Purification, know that Young Living has us covered on some of our Summer favorites and others we might not think we'd need, but we SO do! 

***Oh....and there's that 400 PV tier that has ROMAN CHAMOMILE!!! 

OH. MY. WORD...R O M A N  C H A M O M I L E!!!!

Roman Chamomile has been out of stock for a while and Young Living is giving us a chance to get our hands on it again! You know how the excitement of summer (or hours of Fortnight) can make it a bit tough to get the kids wound down to go to sleep before the sun comes up? Or...let's be honest...there are those nights when even we parents need a little help! Roman Chamomile to the rescue!!! Calming, soothing, relaxing.... (Is this when I confess that as soon as I can hoard several bottles of it again I will??? ) By the way, Roman Chamomile is also very nourishing to the skin, as well as being supportive of healthy emotions.

After long days of fun and running around (or those long nights when you forgot to use the Roman Chamomile), sometimes a bit of head and shoulder tension can be felt. M-Grain is there to provide cooling relief.  This is an oil that I've actually never added to my stash, but have always wanted to! I'm so excited to be able to get it for free this month, especially since my friends rave about it!

Lemongrass has SO many uses! It's wonderful to diffuse, but I love to apply it, especially on my joints and muscles that might need some support following activities and to support the health of my thyroid, I apply it just under where I would have an Adam's Apple if I were male.  Apply it with a bit of carrier oil  since it may cause some skin sensitivity otherwise. (I also like to add in EndoFlex when applying it to my thyroid.)

The woodsy aroma of Cypress is calming, grounding and great for a unique twist on relaxing as it promotes a sense of security. Try adding it to your bedtime diffuser blend. Cypress is also supportive of the Upper Respiratory System.

Lavender? Oh, Lavender during summer is an absolute must, as is Citronella! (Hello, outdoor sprays!)  If you missed the Mason Jar Candle DIY idea in our last email, you can catch it on our blog. Perfect timing!!!

And to top it all off, add a little splash of Orange Vitality to your marinades, salad dressings, smoothies, homemade popsicles, beer, wine and more! 

Seriously, such a fun mix of amazing oils for this month's promos!

There are lots of creative ways to fill your order!

As a bonus, if you do a 400 PV Quick Order AND a 400 PV ER order, you'll get TWO free bottles of Roman Chamomile!! Time to put those thinking and ordering caps on!
