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?

It's been humid around here this week but the nights are cooling down a bit and the sun is rising later and setting earlier...fall is approaching. Part of me is a bit sad about the ending of warm summer days and not worrying about coats and shoes. Part of me is excited. I love the looks and sounds of fall--the crunch of fallen leaves, the smell of those leaves, the vibrant colors. And somehow too I begin to want to cook and bake using apples and pumpkins. Not sure why, but it invariably happens every year!
This month's promos:
Ginger Vitality - Labeled vitality, Ginger can be used internally in cooking or in capsules. I do not have the vitality version, but I like to combine the standard Ginger (same oil, different label) with other oils--cinnamon bark, nutmeg, orange--for a lovely fall scent.
Inner Defense - We use this supplement to support our immune system.
Raven - I diffuse this one or apply topically.
Multigreens - We use this supplement to get lots of great nutrients found in plants (because I've never gotten into green smoothies).
Sniffleease - I like to apply this topically to the back of our necks.
Need some fun, oily recipes for fall diffusing? Check out my
over the next few days.
What does fall look like in your life?
June in the Mid-Atlantic...settling into summer, long days, lots of green and blooming flowers, and the June promo items!
100PV - ER Exclusive - Citronella. I use Citronella in DIY projects or diffuse it for a summery scent.
190PV - adds Lime and ER Exclusive Northern Lights Black Spruce. I like adding a drop or two of Lime with Stress Away in my diffuser. Or Lime + a few other citrus oils for a nice summery scent. Northern Lights Black Spruce is a favorite of mine as well. I diffuse it or apply it topically.
250PV - Add a bar of Peppermint Cedarwood Soap. Have you tried the soap yet? We tried it once and haven't gone back! We love the subtle scents.
300PV - Add a box of Nitro and a pair of Nitro branded socks. Nitro is our favorite energy booster. Even more energy when paired with Zyng! I like it best cold so I keep it in the fridge. And if you love Nitro and fun socks, these socks would make a great addition to your sock drawer. :-)
Happy summer!

I can hardly believe it's the end of May already. We've been busy around here wrapping up our school year and celebrating our daughter's graduation.
In Young Living news, there are only a few days left to take advantage of several promotions.
1) Are you a member with a friend who is interested in joining Young Living? Have you joined Young Living yet? There is a great deal right now...Order a Premium Starter Kit, receive a bottle of Thieves Cleaner and a Spray Bottle FREE! New Members only. I love these glass spray bottles!
2) This month Promotional offers--Place a qualifying order, receive free products. Bonus products available if you are part of the Essential Rewards Monthly Subscription plan.
Some of my favorite ways to use these products? Well, my daughter commandeered the Charcoal bar soap. I love to combine Patchouli with Bergamot and Vetiver in a diffuser in our boys' bedroom at bedtime. I diffuse Lavender, along with Lemon & Peppermint, in the main areas of the house for a fresh scent. I'm using the toothpaste on my teeth. Geranium? I use that on wool dryer balls in the dryer. Blue Tansy is a new one for me so I need to do a bit of research for that one...but I love building my collection of oils so that if I need a specific product, I have it!If you are an Essential Rewards member, I recommend that you review your June order now, adding and subtracting products to make your package exactly what you need. I like to tweak mine ahead of time in case I get busy around the date of shipment.
Enjoy these last few days of May!
