New Year Kick Off

New Year Kick Off
Today Young Living had their New Year Kick Off Event.  As at all of their rallies, they introduced some new products.  New products introduced today include vitality drops, a CBD starter kit, and 15% off Core product bundles.  Back in stock as of today is one of my favorite oils, Idaho Grand Fir (formerly known as Idaho Balsam Fir).  I'm so excited to be able to get this oil again!  New members can get free shipping on starter kits through January 31.

For graphics of the items introduced today, check out my Facebook page.

January 2020

The snow is glistening in the sunshine outside my window.  The teapot is on the stove, heating water for my tea.  I've already had a cup of coffee and dealt with kids that get up entirely to early.  Now 1 is off to school, 2 are off to work, 2 are outside in the snow, and 2 are still in bed.  I should wake them to start their day, but I thought I'd take advantage of these few moments and post about the January Promos.


100 pv - ER Exclusive
Peppermint - Limited Edition 10 ml.  We love Peppermint!  I find it soothing when diluted and rubbed on muscles after a work out.  And for a million other reasons too...

190 pv
Above plus:
Roman Chamomile - 5ml - I have not used this one much myself, but I've read that you can add it to your face cream for glowing skin.
ER Exclusive - Cinnamon Bark Vitality - 5ml - Vitality is labeled for internal use--you could add a drop to your hot chocolate for some spice.  

250pv
Above plus:
Clary Sage - 15ml - Diffuse for a calming aroma.

300pv
Above plus:
Branded Gloves & Hat - These came with my Essential Rewards package this month and are quite cozy.

Happy New Year!

December 2019

And just like that we're in the homestretch of 2019...only a few weeks until a new year!

I love the December Promos:

*Promos are free items with purchase.  Some items only available with Essential Rewards purchases.

10 ER Points - Extra Essential Rewards points good towards purchasing more of your favorite products!  The points are one of my favorite reasons for ordering monthly with the Essential Rewards subscription program.
Peace & Calming (15 ml) - I certainly need more peace and calm here...did I mention I have lots of boys?!  :-)
Christmas Spirit (5 ml) - This blend which includes citrus and spicy notes is one of my favorites.
Myrrh (5 ml) - This oil is excellent for skin
Egyptian Gold (5 ml) - This is a new one to me...I'm looking forward to trying it!
Sacred Frankincense (15 ml) - I love regular Frankincense, and Sacred Frankincense is every bit as good!
Diffuser Ornament - The flat base means you can set it in any room in the house.  Have a fake tree?  Hang the ornament, add a pine or fir oil, and pretend.

Reminder for this month:
Get your orders in promptly as shipping can be delayed over the holidays.

Blessings,
~Karen

November 2019

November 2019
I admit to being a bit excited that I'll soon be typing 2020...I like the number.  :-)  

So...what's up with Young Living in November?  There is a lot going on.  I'm particularly looking forward to Thanksgiving weekend and the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales.  But before then...

1)  Buy One Get One Promos

This promo is for Essential Rewards members only.  Essential Rewards is an autoship, fully customizable monthly subscription program.  These B1G1 specials are good November 1-15.  If your ER normally processes later than the 15th, you may want to manually process it early.  This will also help keep your order from possibly being delayed during the Black Friday shipments.  Some years there have been so many orders that the shipping companies can't keep up.

I regularly use all of these products, but particularly love the Valor/Purification deal.

2)  November Promotions.  I love that Young Living gives us extra products when we place a large order.  Some items are Essential Rewards order only items, others are good for any order.

How I use these products?  Hope, Thieves, Abundance, and Joy - apply to skin as desired or diffuse.  Remember...a little goes a long way!  Start with one drop (applied topically) or a few drops (in a diffuser) and add more as desired.  The 10 ER points?  They accumulate for free products!  I often use my points to buy items like bar soap and shampoo.

Some of you may have your oils and what you would buy every month.  Why sign up for Essential Rewards?  Well, ER helps me with keeping my spending in line with my budget.  I decide how much money I can spend and customize my orders each month.  There are always more items that I'm interested in than that I actually purchase.  Even after 5 years, there are still products on my "want to try" list.  Supplements and NingXia Red are usually the bulk of my monthly purchase.

The weather is getting rather chilly here in the Northeast!  It is about time to get my kids ready for the day.  We have school (for one of them) and homeschool co-op (for 3 of them) today.  Remember...Black Friday/Cyber Monday specials may sell out quickly, be ready!

Enjoy your day!

Falling Leaves

It's October!  We are back from a week of vacation in the Smoky Mountains/Appalachia where the weather was unseasonably warm.  I love visiting areas of our country that I've never seen before.

Getting photos of these kids is always a challenge. 6 of our 7 kids joined us on this trip.  Here they are at the top of the Sky Lift in Gatlinburg, TN.

Anyway, there is lots of fun stuff going on at Young Living this month!

  • I love October because YL releases their Holiday Catalog.   Some items sell out every year, so if you see something you want, you may want to purchase it ASAP.  Right now items are available as "One Time Orders" (formerly Quick Order).  Starting November 1, items can be purchased as part of your Essential Rewards monthly subscription program.  I'm particularly excited about the Christmas Spirit Foaming Hand Soap and the small diffuser.
  • October Promotions! 
    • Nutmeg, Cinnamon Bark, Orange - I love to diffuse these together in the fall and winter.
    • Life 9 - We love these probiotics.
    • Bergamot - I love this citrus.  I like to diffuse it with Patchouli and Vetiver for a calm, grounding scent or on it's own for an uplifting scent.
    • Cedarwood - I'm currently diffusing this at bedtime for my boys along with Lavender, Patchouli, and Vetiver
    • Frankincense - In the past, I've added Frankincense to the bedtime diffuser as well.  I also apply it topically to my skin (my face, to be exact).
    • October 1-31 - Free Shipping on Premium Starter Kits for new members.  Remember, becoming a member gives you 24% off...and does not obligate you to buy or sell anything.
We are enjoying cooler weather in our part of the country.  The leaves are just beginning to change colors and I'm looking forward to falling leaves that crunch when we walk through them. 

What do you enjoy about October?
~Karen
