Young Living Success

Transform Your Life with the Slique™ Experience

Hi,

I wanted to let you know about this wonderful weight management system that Young Living has put together for us. No matter if you want to loose 50 pounds, 100, 15 or 10, this system will work.

I have started it and some tips that I have already found are in using the Slique Tea, and Slique Essence Essential Oil Blend. When I have those sweet cravings and want to eat something that will throw me of my diet, I reach for the Slique Essence which I have added to my daily drinking water. So not only do I get the benefits of drinking 1/2 my body weight in water each day that will help the toxins and fat to be released from my body, but this essential oil subsides my appetite. It does this by calming my stomach, but also emotionally it relaxes my anxiety. If you look at what oils are in this blend you will see why  this is so. Ocotea Essential Oil from Ecuador is one of the most beautiful fragrances I have come across.

Proprietary Slique Essence™ Oil Blend: 240 mg **

Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi)† cold pressed rind

Tangerine (Citrus reticulata)† cold pressed rind

Spearmint (Mentha spicata)† leaf

Lemon (Citrus limon)† cold pressed rind

Ocotea (Ocotea quixos)† leaf

Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) leaf extract

And another tool that is in this Kit that I find very helpful is the Slique Tea.

Slique™ Ocotea Oolong Cacao Tea

I make a cup of this tea before my lunch and before my dinner. It gives me energy and quells my appetite and helps me to eat the right portions of servings so I don't overeat. And look at the ingredients:

Jade oolong tea, inulin, ocotea leaf (Ocotea quixos), Ecuadorian cacao powder, vanilla essential oil, frankincense powder (Boswellia sacra), and natural stevia extract

Subtle taste of each and it has frankincense powder (Boswellia Sacra), you can't beat that special ingredient to balance and also boost the immune system.

I really am enjoying this diet and regimen that Young Living has put together for us to loose those pounds we are dying to get rid of. I will talk some more on this later because so many of us need this boost and support. And this diet, regimen, has all the elements of a balance, nuturing and an achieveable challenge. A main ingredient in this mix is exercise, which I find a challenge but I feel so much better when I exercise. My favorite form of exercise is walkling in nature. But I also know that my metabolism works best with weights so that my muscles get toned. My husband loves martial arts and has been involved in this form of exercise for many years. I will let you know what he uses to stay young and flexible and healthy.

Slique Tea is a delicious, premium blend of wholesome and rare ingredients. It offers a natural alternative to sugar-laden fruit drinks from concentrates, sodas, and coffees and can be used as part of a healthy weight-management program. It contains Ecuadorian ocotea leaf (Ocotea quixos), a member of the cinnamon family traditionally used by natives for health and wellness. Amazonian cacao is then added, along with pure, proprietary vanilla essential oil.
Slique Tea also contains jade oolong tea leaves, sought after for their rich aroma and powerful antioxidant content. These leaves are handpicked from the high mountain regions of Taiwan, known for producing some of the world’s finest teas. All of these ingredients are enriched with 100 percent pure therapeutic-grade Arabian frankincense powder, an exclusive ingredient from Young Living’s distillery in Salalah, Oman.

Easy oven cleaning

Happy New Year Everyone!

A long time ago I recall Vicki Opfer mentioned using the Thieves Household
Cleaner in her oven and how easy it was to clean it. Well, I've used it and
agree with her 100%. If you haven't tried it yet, I highly recommend doing
so.

I don't know if it makes any difference to have the oven a little warm, but
mine was when I decided to clean it. I'd been putting it off and decided
t just needed to be done and NOW.

I sprayed the interior with my usual dilution of the cleaner for basic
kitchen use. A few hours later I sprayed it again. Later -- or maybe even the
next morning -- I wet one of those green scrubbers and started scrubbing.
BUT I didn't need to 'scrub' (hard rubbing). All I needed to do was rub it
around lightly and keep rinsing it to get rid of all the dirt coming off.
There was no effort, my hands didn't need gloves, there was no unpleasant
smell, etc. All I needed to do was keep rinsing the interior. Boy does my
oven look wonderful!! (I won't wait so long next time... :) )

Best wishes,
Carol Faust

Make your own gifts! There is nothing more thoughtful or appreciated
than something you took the time to create yourself! And it's satisfying to
do. Here is one suggestion I've shared in the past that people enjoyed
making:

* simple bath salts – I've posted several versiions over the
years. These are wonderful for both healing and their fragrance in the bath.

> Epsom Salts, Sea Salt, or Rock Salt (the type used in water
softeners – available in grocery stores).
Option: Mix half Epsom Salts (or any salts listed above)
and half Baking Soda.

> Add the essential oil of your choice (DI Jo Anderson
suggested putting the oil on a cotton ball and stirring through the mixture
to avoid clumping; DI Laurie Ciardullo puts the salts, essential oil & color
into a plastic bag & shakes until well mixed.)
Option: Add color (Jo added a quality powder eye shadow,
Laurie added food coloring) – may wish to match to scent, as in lavvender for
lavender scent, green for pine, etc.

> Put into container, then label and decorate. I spent some
time checking online where to purchase empty bottles & jars; finding where
you could purchase them other than by the case was a bit challenging, but I
found some interesting ones at: http://www.save-on-crafts.com/glassbottles2
html You can also check crafts stores, and may even have some of your own
empty make up or product containers. Craft stores also have a huge variety
of ribbons, dried flowers & leaves, and many options for decorating &
labeling your jars & containers.

(Shauna of Sha-Faun Enterprises, Inc. writing: I would be very careful in
putting color in the bath salts as you are going to be sitting in the water
with these salts and do you really want a color that might color your skin
or worse yet, harm your skin and body system? Food coloring is a chemical,
why would you want to create a natural, beautiful bath salt for soothing and
healing.....and then add chemicals? I use Epsom Salts and Essential Oils in
my bath all the time, but I do not add anything else and I receive a
beautiful fragrant, healing, soothing and relaxing experience. I simply add
a cup or so of Epsons Salts and my Young Living Essential Oil of choice
directly to the bath water as the tub is filling....especially soothing when
tired from a long day of work and/or stress.)

* SALT GLOW
>Very simple to make, but a great way to exfoliate the skin
so that it has a youthful glow!! And smells divine.

>Using regular (sea salt) or popcorn salt, combine half and
half salt and V6 Mixing Oil or pure vegetable oil. Add several drops of the
essential oil of your choice (amount depending upon the amount of mixture;
add a drop at a time until the desired level of fragrance is reached. Let
sit for 4 days. Then put into individual containers, label & decorate J.

Young Living Donates Omega Blue Supplement to Youth Treatment Center

SALT LAKE CITY­July 22, 2011­ Young Living, the world leader in
essential oils, recently made a large donation of Omega Blue™
supplement to The Heritage School, a residential treatment center for
at-risk adolescents. The donation will provide a year’s supply of the
supplement to the school’s entire student body and is valued at more
than $20,000. The school’s staff is already attributing improved
behavior among the students to Omega Blue.

The omega-3 fatty acids found in Omega Blue­along with a
proprietary blend of essential oils­support healthy cardiovascular and
brain function. Omega-3s are also believed to stabilize mood and
have a positive impact on depression.

“We have had a very encouraging response to Omega Blue,” says
Debbie Hamilton, director of health services at The Heritage School.
“The quality of the product was recognized immediately by students,
parents and staff members. We know that Omega Blue is a major
contributing factor to the behavioral improvement we are seeing in
many of our kids. Young Living’s generosity toward our school is
greatly appreciated.”

The Heritage School is located in Provo, Utah, and offers a variety of
therapy programs customized to fit the needs of each of its students.
At-risk adolescents spend an average of 14 months at the school and
then graduate equipped with the social and psychological tools they
need to lead happy, productive lives.

“We are proud to be able to donate our products to an organization
that does as much good as The Heritage School,” says Young Living
CEO Doug Nelson. “Its mission of improving lives resonates with us,
and it is a privilege to assist them in transforming the mental and
physical health of their students.”

Peppermint Essential Tip

“I use a small spray bottle, fill it with water, and add about 20–25 drops of peppermint essential oil. This is the best window washer I have found!”

Product Tip- Purification Essential Oil

“My wife and I own a rafting business in southern Oregon. On our full-day raft trips, we serve lunch at a beautiful, sandy beach on the Rogue River. At the end of June, the weather gets really hot and the bees are out in full force. The bees were such a nuisance to the guests that we had to find a new lunch spot down river for the remainder of the season. One day we decided to put drops of Purification® and peppermint essential oil on the table. We also left the bottles open and put them in front of the meat dishes. To our astonishment, the bees never came around. Our guests were able to have lunch at our favorite beach spot, and we never had to leave it again.”

Melissa Essential Oil

Thieves Essential Oil Household Products

Thieves is a passionate topic for me for several reasons

Its implications in women’s health. I am forever grateful for the significant changes it made in my life—an alternative to the leading risk factor implicated for causing the women’s issues I suffered from as well as reducing one of the main contributing breast cancer risk factors in my life—estrogen mimicking compounds in my household cleaning products.

(Note: My bloodwork showed significant changes)

1. Its constituents (clove, cinnamon, etc) are shown in multiple studies as effective anti-pathogenic ingredients (bacteria, viruses and mold) for cleaning while preventing harm to our waterways. For those who live near lakes and rivers, your septic tanks won’t work effectively if you use antibacterial soaps in your home and kill the good bacteria needed to break down the waste in the tank. Listen to the audio to hear Dr. Fuller explain why plant properties are effective against the big germs yet preserve the good bacteria needed for homeostasis. You may understand why Thieves is the best consumer choice.

(Note: Antibacterial soaps and pharmaceuticals entering our waterways are affecting clean water sources—we can change that by making better consumer choices)

1. It is literally health enhancing. No other cleaning line can claim that. Cinnamon, clove, etc are excellent for supporting our immune system and demonstrated in many studies. No worries about pets or babies on the floor. The essential oils in Thieves are living oils with constituents at optimal levels for optimal results…not the basic quality like the others.

(Note: I can grow organic lavender in Minnesota and carefully prepare it, but it will never have the constituents at optimal levels for medicine cabinet quality like YL—just like there is a difference between Minnesota wines and California wines. There are many factors affecting the quality. Another note: many companies use the stem, leaves and bud in processing clove which dilute the properties but make it cheaper to distill. YL uses only the clove bud distilling at the proper temperature and time which result in the effective constituents at optimal levels so consumers get optimal results. Seed to Seal quality makes a difference)

1. CRITICAL as an air freshener replacement. Diffusing will replace these harmful air fresheners and plug ins. This billion dollar industry is creating more harm than good. Diffusing Thieves and other YL oils is the best consumer choice for a replacement.

( Note: Air fresheners are implicated in respiratory issues. The bio-accumulation also creates endocrine disruption issues. These are especially harmful to children and pets. A community effort to educate friends and neighbors will make a huge contribution to human health and the waterways.)

1. Every ingredient has the green rating from the highly regarded Environmental Working Group.

(Note: Since Young Living is one of only a few full disclosure companies, we can rely and trust it is beneficial for our health and the environment yet effective for our needs.)

Take the time to listen to this informative audio recording. You will be glad you did. Share it with someone else. The efforts of two friends encouraging their communities has great impact. The urgency is great and our collective efforts will have remarkable implications on families.

Thieves Foaming Hand Soap

“Using Thieves® Foaming Hand Soap to wash fruits and veggies works perfectly to strip off any wax or bacteria. The foam makes it very easy to use. Thanks for the Thieves line of products—life would not be the same without them!”
