Let Them Eat Jade Lemon Cake!

Let Them Eat Jade Lemon Cake!
Here's a great spring / summer recipe sure to be a hit at any event from Mother's Day brunch to a BBQ! This is rivaling our famous cheese ball recipe in popularity! 


Jade Lemon Vitality oil has a lemon-lime taste and is a great addition to your Ningxia Red, water, tea, smoothies, dressings, and marinades. It will add a bright, citrusy flavor to any of your favorite recipes.


Jade Lemon and Jade Lemon Vitality (one labeled for topical and aromatic use, the other as a dietary supplement), contain high levels of D-Limonene. Jade Lemon is stimulating to the mind, refreshing, and energizing. Diffuse it to cleanse the air and create an uplifting environment or add 10-15 drops to your Young Living lotions and shampoos to energize your spirit.

With the warmer months upon us, keep in mind that Jade Lemon is a photosensitive oil. Any areas that have had it applied topically should remain out of the sun for 24 hours to avoid any skin sensitivity.

Happy Oiling!

The Long Wait Is OVER!!!

The Long Wait Is OVER!!!
Four and a half years ago, THIS is how our lives became radically and forever changed!


This ONE OIL made such a difference in our lives that we jumped in with both feet and since then, have been able to help countless people find greater health, wellness, and FREEDOM through using Young Living Essential Oils and products. Have YOU been one of those people???

It was all because of VALOR.

June 2013 - A friend posted about this particular oil and I knew based on what she said that I NEEDED this oil in my life. Gallons of it, as a matter of fact.

I wasn't wrong and it had a FAR greater impact than I even anticipated!


From the moment that one bottle came to our house, I have never been without it. Hoarded it, in fact. Made it through the years when you couldn't by a single drop of it. I didn't share and I'm not ashamed of that fact. (And I wasn't the only one...)

Valor is my "if I were ever stranded on a desert island and could only have ONE oil, it would be THIS oil."

WANNA KNOW WHY???

Initially, it was because we had a much quieter and more restful night's sleep. Not only that, our youngest son, then 11, also slept peacefully through the night, rather than wandering around. All we did was apply it to the bottoms of our big toes.

Weird, I know.

THIS was the game changer for me - I also supported the health of my musculoskeletal system by applying Valor down my spine from the nape of my neck to my tailbone, across my hips and in the arch of my foot - the vita flex point for the spine. (Having the roll-on was PERFECT for this!) Because of this support, it promoted ease of movement for me and I discovered activities that had become a challenge for me were once again normal parts of my day. This active momma was SO thankful!!!


Valor is known for the way it supports the body mentally, emotionally and physically. I use this oil and I feel like I can conquer the world! Fear??? What fear??? I laugh at fear!



I love applying this oil on my wrists, behind my ears and at the nape of my neck. Whatever comes my way, I feel confident that I can overcome it!

Trust me - we ALL need more Valor in our lives!!!! YOU need Valor in YOUR life because, well....I couldn't have said it any better - "When you're confident, the rest falls into place!" Ask me how I know...

Travel Must Haves

Travel Must Haves
My daughter, Abigail, and I just went on a weekend trip to visit family in Florida. We went to the beach, explored St. Augustine, enjoyed Amelia Island, traveled through the Talbot Islands, stopped in Mayport to grab shrimp for dinner (Saw a pelican eating an octopus, too!) and obviously, made the most of every minute! 

Maybe you're a seasoned oiler and have traveled with your oils before or maybe you're just starting out. Either way, I think we can all learn tips and ideas from each other. Here are a few of my favorite travel tips that I thought you'd find helpful. If you have others, please send us a message with yours!

Abigail and I drove this trip, so we had our car diffuser going with Clarity and Motivation. Usually, we diffuse Peppermint because of the ways it supports mental alertness and happy tummies, but since we left at 5 a.m., I wanted to begin our morning with clear thinking and focus. I got our car diffuser from Life Science Publishing.  I like the way it fits in the cup holder and fills the car. I've also used Young Living's Orb diffuser. It fits in the cup holder, too, AND it's spill-proof, which is really awesome! I also love to use the Orb diffuser when I'm working at my desk. It's USB port conveniently plugs into my computer and again, it's spill-proof!

Keep in mind that with the warmer months upon us, you don't want to leave your oils in the car. High heat can destroy the therapeutic properties of the oils, so bring them inside with you.

Another handy way I like to carry my oils is in 5/8 dram bottles.  I carry about a dozen oils, including my starter kit must-haves, in a small case that clips onto my purse. (The dram bottles are sold separately on the same website or you can get them through Young Living or on Amazon.) It's SO much lighter to carry all of these small, dram bottles than the full-sized ones and I can carry far more with me! Whether I'm traveling or not, this case is with me wherever I go! 

Young Living, Amazon and Life Science Publishing each have a number of other case options that can be used for any full-sized bottles that you pack. If you're flying, you CAN take your oils either in your carry-on or checked luggage, but they need to fit in the quart-sized bag if you're taking them carry-on. Yes, x-ray does affect the frequency of the oils, but they return back to normal within a day or two and that process can be speeded up if you warm them in your armpit or even in your bra if you're just sitting and relaxing.

What are my must-have oils and Young Living products when I travel? 

  • Lemon, Peppermint, DiGize Vitality oils for digestive support - I  bring veggie capsules with me so I can take 2-4 drops of these oils internally when needed. Veggie capsules can be found through Young Living, Amazon, Life Science Publishing, health food stores and even some grocery stores. Definitely get VEGGIE capsules, not gel, because they're not made with animal by-products and they hold up better.
  • I like Cedarwood and Lavender for a restful night, so I always take those. You might instead choose Valerian, Roman Chamomile (when seasonally in stock and it's another favorite of ours), RutaVaLa (when seasonally in stock) and/or Sleep Essence supplement as other options. Immupro is also helpful if you're changing time zones by several hours. Both Sleep Essence and Immupro promote the body's natural sleep rhythm, encouraging restful sleep.
  • I take a pre-made roller bottle with Endoflex and Lemongrass to support a healthy thyroid and hormones, and I bring whichever other "girlie oils" are keeping my hormones happy at that time. Lady Sclereol is always with me, but I may bring either Progessence Plus or SclarEssence or DragonTime as well. If momma's happy, we're ALL happy! 
  • For those times when we're stuck in traffic or the natives are restless in the car, I have Stress Away or Tranquil or Peace & Calming along for the ride. "Are we there yet?" and "How much longer?" roll off of me much more easily when any of these oils are used!
  • Thieves Hand Purifier is absolutely essential. I also like to take Thieves Spray with me. As a matter of fact, these two never leave my purse, even on a "normal" day. Both of these are pit stop lifesavers when traveling! I'll save you the description of the gas station stop we made in the middle of nowhere and the gymnastic moves required to get in and out of the bathroom stall, but suffice it to say that I was ridiculously grateful to have these with us! When we went to the Philippines, we also took Thieves Wipes and I was ever so grateful we did! They were super compact, so they were perfect to pack! I've even carried a small spray bottle of Thieves All-Purpose, Pe-Made, Cleaner to spray down my travel clothes or address stains on clothing. It's a godsend for sure!
  • Make taking your toiletries super easy - bring Young Living's Bon Voyage Travel Pack.  Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste, toothbrush, floss, mouthwash, lip balm, shower gel, moisturizer, ART light moisturizer, hand purifier  - all in travel sizes and housed in a durable dopp kit; it's all you need and it's all toxin-free! 
  • Because we went to the beach on this trip, I packed Young Living's Sunscreen and LavaDerm After-Sun Spray. We were thankful to have both! 
  • I like to be sure to bring my Young Living supplements with me, too, I take a pill box with my AgilEase, Super B, Super C, Super Cal, and Sulfurzyme. I also take my Slique CitraSlim capsules and Essentialzyme-4. I like to bring a few Inner Defense with, too, just in case any of us begin to feel like our immune systems need some additional support. Whatever your supplement favorites are, don't leave them behind!
I hope this gives you some ideas for your upcoming travels, as well as some helpful resources. You certainly don't need to take all of these - make this fit YOUR lifestyle! 

Happy trails, friend!

Easy Home Spa Experience

Easy Home Spa Experience
Spring is the perfect time to create a home spa experience, especially since it's a season when additional upper respiratory support is welcome. An easy way to create a spa atmosphere AND provide your body with the wellness support it needs is to use any of Young Living's varieties of Eucalyptus. 

Here are some usage ideas:

  • Diffuse a Eucalyptus variety of choice with Lemongrass or Lemon Myrtle for an uplifting and relaxing experience.
  • Before showering, add 5-10 drops of Eucalyptus to a damp washcloth and place in your shower out of direct contact with the water. Alternatively, add 20 drops of Eucalyptus to a 4 oz. spray bottle with water and spray the walls of your shower. Allow the steam to carry the Eucalyptus in the air, invigorating, yet calming, the senses and supporting easy breathing.
  • Add a couple of drops of Eucalyptus to a cotton ball and place inside your vacuum. Fill the air with Eucalyptus goodness as you clean!
Here's some other great information on Eucalyptus and 3 of the varieties Young Living carries. You can also learn more on YL's blog post.



There are some cautions for using Eucalyptus, both in children and regarding seizures. That being said, there is a lot of misinformation out there. Eucalyptus is actually a very safe oil to use, but there are some things you can do to make it even safer.  Check out Lindsey Elmore's FB Live on using Eucalyptus and her suggested safety tips. She addresses specific safety data and what to consider in safety concerns. If you're not on FaceBook, you can check out her write up on her blog. Her bottom line? Don't over use essential oils - that's her biggest safety tip! "Start low and go slow" is what Lindsey recommends.

Member favorite blends that include Eucalyptus varieties and may support easy breathing include Raven, RC, and Breathe Again. Apply any of these over your sinuses and/or chest (following label directions for dilution) for a personal spa experience! Raven and RC can also be diffused. We love to diffuse it with Thieves and Purification or Lemon or Citrus Fresh.

Here's a sneak peak at the new products!

I'm so thankful for additional blush color options! I loved the options we had (I have "I Do Believed Your Blushin'" and "Smashing"), but I was longing for one with a bit more "pop" to it. I'm going to be adding "Awestruck" and "Captivate" to this month's Essential Rewards order!



Violet-gray shimmer and smokey plum shimmer are the newest additions to the Savvy Minerals shadow line up! SO beautiful! Be sure to check out the shadow application tips on page 18 and the eyeliner and Multitasker tips on page 20-21 of the catalog!



Ummmmm...I *MAY* be a lipstick / gloss addict....Give me ALL the shades! Besides, these feel SO nourishing on my lips I NEED them! (However I need to justify it, right?) I especially love how the lipsticks last and how the glosses add just the perfect shine and tint! I want them ALL!!! 


OK, you KNOW how members, including myself, love the Satin Mint Facial Scrub. In May, we'll have a lip scrub option??? I can't wait to try it!!! How do you use it? Follow these simple steps from the catalog several times per week or as needed.

  • Apply a small amount to your lips.
  • Massage in small, circular motions to exfoliate.
  • Use a water-moistened cotton pad to remove the scrub.
  • Follow with your favorite Savvy lipstick or gloss.
