The nights are getting longer and occasional cool days are slipping into the week here in the mid-Atlantic. Our kids are settling back into school routines.

Hello! And Welcome to August! In some ways it feels as if this year is much longer than others, and yet...here it is, August already.
This month, Young Living's Promos focus on cooking with Vitality oils.
Check them out!

I can't tell you much about these oils as I haven't used vitality oils in cooking. I do use the citrus oils in my water as I am not a fan of plain water. The Orange Vitality is probably the only one of these I've actually used! So...I get to try some new things this month too.
Have you ever served food on a charcuterie board? I have not done that either! I looked it up and said that they are frequently used to serve meats and items to accompany the meats. From magazines and such, it seems that there is a trend right now to use these for things other than meats like the gorgeous pancake version at our daughter-in-law's bridal shower.
The one Promo item that I would use...the apron. I do wear them from time to time. And my youngest would love to wear a matching one like Mom.
Enjoy your August! The hot days, the summer wrap up before school begins, the gradually longer nights leading to cooler mornings...
Blessings!

The weather is hot and muggy here in the mid-atlantic region of the US. Our garden is growing, as are the weeds and the boys. We are enjoying time outside swimming and time indoors in the A/C.
Check out the Young Living Promos for July!

Envision: I like to diffuse this blend.
Common Sense: I apply a drop of this blend to the back of my neck or diffuse it at times when I want to focus.
KidScents Geneyus: I like to put a roller ball on the top of this one and roll it on the back of the neck for focus.
Egyptian Gold: I've heard this is a great oil blend to diffuse or apply topically, but I haven't personally tried it yet. I look forward to expanding my collection of oils though, and trying new ones.
Valor: One of our all time favorites. I like to rub a drop or two on my shoulders when I've overused them. I also apply a drop to my wrists as part of "The Great Day" protocol.
Reminder: US prices are scheduled to increase 4% as of September 2020.
Have a wonderful summer!
Life is beginning to look a bit more like summer around here--the roses are blooming. Heat and humidity returned last week to our area. Thankfully, the weather is more moderate this week. As we begin to come out from quarantine, our life is also getting busier as we resume our regular appointments and make up all of the ones that had previously been cancelled.
June is fun month for Young Living! They have their Grand National Convention in a few weeks. I'm looking forward to finding out this year's new products! Also this year, for the first time, this will be a virtual convention. Tickets are available to members through Friday. I hope to blog about the new products once they are released.
And this month's promotional items:

*To receive these items free, place a qualified Essential Rewards order or Shop order (or both--you can receive the promotions twice, ER exclusives with ER order only).
Citronella - I like to diffuse this one
Peace & Calming - I love to diffuse this one for peace and calming!
YL Picnic Blanket
Kunzea - I apply this one topically as needed. Follow dilution instructions on label.
Cool Azul - Dilute as recommended and apply topically after exercising.
Do you find you use different oils at certain times of the year? What are your favorite oils to use and/or diffuse in the summer?
Greetings! It's a cloudy, rainy day here. We're still mostly at home although my husband and older children are working as normal. This past week we celebrated our youngest son's 4th birthday!

I love these May promotions. I'm always thrilled when the promotions include products that our family uses on a regular basis.

1) Longevity Vitality (ER only) - I have not used this product yet, but I always enjoy trying something new.
2) Lavender (ER Only) - Lavender is such a versatile oil. We like to diffuse it combined with lemon and peppermint. We also apply it topically to soothe our skin.
3) EndoFlex - I apply this oil to my throat on a daily basis.
4) Deep Relief Roll-on - I love that this comes in a handy bottle with a roll top.
5) Frankincense - I tried this one years ago when I first bought the starter kit. I like to rub some on my skin (especially my face). Sometimes I add a drop to my moisturizer and apply it that way.
Mother's Day! Somehow, right now, with everything going on (or not going on?) I keep losing track of time. Mother's Day snuck up on me this year. 20% off select items/bundles for Mother's Day right now.

I love the scent of the Mirah products. I use the hair oil but haven't tried the other ones yet. I've heard they are fabulous!

The A-R-T Skincare System and Poppy Seed Lip Scrub Set. I love the skincare system! I've never worn much makeup or used many products for my skin, but I tried this set a few years ago and love it!

Blue Tansy, Roman Chamomile, Elemi, and Manuka. Blue Tansy is in some of my favorite products including Peace & Calming and Valor. It is a deep blue color.
In other news, certain Thieves products are back in stock with a limit of 3 per account per month.
Have a wonderful May!
