Blessed beyond measure....

Sharing from my Diamond leader....
The solar term, Summer Begins, from May 5-20, signals that the earth has been warmed enough for vibrant growth. Insects are active and gardens start to flourish! Orchards are blooming and pollination cycles begin. The sun’s angle reaches 45°and the temperature quickly rises, and important summer crops, such as wheat, are harvested during this term.

You need to keep your mind in peace and nourish the heart. Very hot weather can damage the heart, and this is an important time to focus on the circulatory system and to eat a cooling diet. Staying calm and in balance calls for recommitment to meditation, outside forest walks and proper nutrition.

Cooling foods for Summer Begins are watermelon, cucumber, bean sprouts, celery, dandelion greens, eggplant, eggs, fish, milk and yogurt, tomatoes, seaweed, spinach, watercress, pear, strawberry and zucchini.

Drink juices of fresh red fruits like cherries, strawberries, and watermelon, blended with lemons, cucumbers and tangerines. Add apple cider vinegar and honey drink to your meals. One t. Local Honey, one t. Organic apple cider vinegar in 6-8 oz. of water will help digestion and keep you cool.

Herbs and essential oils for Summer Begins are Stress Away, Aroma Life, Joy, Orange, Cypress, Peppermint, Jasmine, Coriander, Marjoram, Melissa, Rose, and Ginger. These oils are uplifting for the heart and soul and supportive of circulation, peace and happiness.

Keep your mind in peace and nourish the heart. Drink plenty of water, avoid getting chilled, take afternoon naps and exercise to strengthen the heart.

Eggnog…
You either love it or you don’t…
But for those who do, you will want to save this recipe!!

What You’ll Need:

6 medium eggs, separated
150 g golden caster sugar or finely ground granulated sugar
2 ⅛ cups whole milk
1 ⅔ cup ml heavy cream
5 drops Nutmeg Vitality essential oil

Instructions:
Whisk the egg yolks in a bowl with 100 g of the caster sugar until the mixture is pale yellow and thick (this is best done with an electric handheld mixer).
Stir in the milk, double cream, and Nutmeg+ essential oil.
Put your eggnog mixture in the fridge and separately freeze your egg whites.
When ready to serve, defrost the egg whites into a clean metal or glass bowl. Using a handheld electric mixer, whisk the egg whites until foamy and opaque. Add the remaining 50 g of sugar and whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed.
Pour the eggnog into a large bowl and fold in the egg whites until well combined. Ladle the eggnog into glasses and serve with a little freshly grated nutmeg over the top of each glass if you desire.

If eggnog isn't your thing - no worries - there’s other options on the YL blog! Check it out here:

Who wants to be calm and focused ?

Calling in Vetiver to help! 🌿

Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides) is consider d one of the most complex essential oils as it contained over 150 unique chemical components. The Vetiver plant looks like grass and can grow several feet high, however the essential oil is derived from the deep roots which can grow downward as deep as 12 feet.

Vetiver essential oil is a golden brown thick oil. It has a rich, earthy, woody aroma. In India and Sri Lanka the essence is known as “the oil of tranquility”. It is popular for its soothing and healing properties and most used for its potential to increase an individual’s ability to focus and relieve stress.

A few ways I use Vetiver:
🌿Diffusing during homeschooling or busy work days to help promote creativity, calmness and focus
🌿Inhaling prior to meditation when I want to help clear the mind.
🌿Add a drop to bottom of my pillow on nights when I can’t quiet the mind.
🌿In a massage oil when I have stress induced tension
🌿As a base note for perfumes, colognes and room sprays.

*Tip: Vetiver is a viscous oil so it does not easily drop out of the bottle compared to less viscous oils. Add an eye dropper to the top or warm bottle in hand a few minutes prior to use.

Do you like Vetiver? How do you use it?Thanks scienceofessential for a great post!

💗100PV // 10% Off Enrollment Code to gift a friend!!!! Plus, Free Shipping (YES PLEASE!!!)

💗190PV // YLANG YLANG, 5ml
// ONE HEART, LR Bonus, 5ml

+ Ylang Ylang:
Ylang Ylang means Flower of Flowers. It’s the oil of LOVE and balances male and female energies, combats anger and low self-esteem, can be used to battle stress, support focus + concentration, and filters out negative energy. Also a great oil to promote thick and shiny hair, and balancing for the heart chakra. Let’s just say that Valentine’s day is not going to be complete without this aroma. Grapefruit + Ylang Ylang makes a luscious “Sunshine in a Bottle” roll-on or spray! Or put a few drops Ylang Ylang + Jasmine in some Epsom salts for a luscious bath!

+ One Heart:
If an oil blend could smell like fields of flowers 🌸 + unicorns 🦄 … it would be this oil. One Heart was created to celebrate the joy of unity and connection (does the world need this or what?!). One Heart’s proprietary blend includes Valor, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Ylang Ylang, Ocotea, Lime, Lemon, Roman Chamomile, Spearmint, and Jasmine—creating a delightfully uplifting aroma that generates positive feelings and invokes confidence. Wear it as a perfume… diffuse it… put it in the bath… but get it on your body… so it can work its magic!
The beautiful One Heart label was designed by Anita Perlaza, a graduate of our Young Living Academy in Ecuador who said, “I think that if all people can join and collaborate, we can do great things together.”

💗250PV // LAVENDER BATH BOMBS
// YL PINK GLASS DROPPER BOTTLE

+ Lavender Bath Bombs:
Infused with lavender oil, and right when you open that bag you're going to smell the aroma!💜 Kiddos love them too!
I am so excited YL is treating us this month to them for FREE. These would make a thoughtful gift or just pamper yourself! These bath bombs will take your bath to the next level - like luxury spa experience in your own house! 😍😍 They will also leave your skin feeling silky soft, too.

+ Dropper Bottle:
Do you have a fave diffuser blend? Mix it up right in the dropper bottle, and save time in the morning filling your diffuser! Here are some of our most-loved diffuser recipes to put in a dropper:

Mix up a Glow Serum! Try 20 drops Elemi (free this month!) or Frankincense, and then 5-10 drops of any combination of these skin-supporting oils - Geranium (also a freebie!!!), Blue Tansy, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Copaiba, Lavender, Patchouli…and top off with Rose Hip Oil, which contains a wealth of essential fatty acids making it an amazing option for dry skin. Bonus if you add a few drops of Rose!!!!!

💗300PV // ELEMI, 5ml
// GERANIUM, LR BONUS, 15ML

+ Elemi:
This is what we like to call “poor man’s frankincense” 😂😂 but really that doesn’t even do it justice because it’s amazing for so many other reasons! It is SO GOOD for wrinkles!!!!! It’s your skin’s BFF! Rub a drop over your face before you apply your moisturizer 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Also a powerhouse for muscles and nerve support!!! Add this to your muscle rollers for added relief.

+ Geranium:
This floral oil is a must-have for your skin care and detox routine. Add to your moisturizer for radiant, dewy, even-toned skin. Some people add geranium to their hot tub instead of chlorine. Also, you can add few drops to your body lotion and put on your skin before and after swimming to help combat the effects of the chlorine. 👏🏻👏🏻
Do you dry brush? If so, try putting some Geranium on your skin before you brush!! Also, ladies - your hormones will THANK YOU when you use this! Apply around the inside of the ankles for happy hormones.
Aromatically, the smell of Geranium helps release negative emotions (it's not surprising why you see geranium in many of our Feeling Kit blends). Diffuse it for a happy mood… and feelings of peace and hope! Emotionally, this oil releases negative memories and fears of abandonment to promote self-acceptance and uplift the spirit. Also... check out the interesting research about Geranium and liver/pancreas/bile ducts in your reference guide.
