Sara Lynn Essentials

Did you know that Young Living has a few blends that come in roller bottles? This is one of them. Read the post below for more on the properties of this blend. ✨

Laurus Nobilis - a.k.a. Bay Laurel or Bay Leaf

It’s physical properties include being beneficial for the respiratory system.

In the Middle Ages a laurel/bay leaf tree was planted in front of homes for protection and success.

It’s aroma is described as being sweet, fresh and spicy which leads to its overall properties of balancing, relaxing and warming.

Mentally, it heightens our awareness and perception. Spiritually it is said to amplify intuitive clairvoyance and Clairaudience skills. Because the mind is relaxed, one will be able to receive messages better and have more confidence in the process.

It also helps to integrate the emotional and mental bodies which helps to release blocks to embodying personal power.

It also helps to enhance creativity.

The chakras it works with primarily are the sacral and heart chakras.

It can be diffused or applied topically (after dilution).

YL Laurus Nobilis 5ml $31.50

Eucalyptus in the shower is one of my favorite things. It is so refreshing/uplifting that I find it is the perfect way to start the day. I usually just add a drop or two onto the shower floor/tub away from the shower head (so it doesn’t get washed down instantly).

Traditionally Eucalyptus is used to support the respiratory system as well as to soothe aching muscles, but it is also great for soothing emotional discomfort and clearing the mind.

Spiritually it is said to be an oil of transformation. Helping to bring a focus to relationships (to self and others). It will ask us to look at the patterns that are holding us back or it can bring to our awareness the patterns/reactions that are triggered in relationships where healing is needed. It supports both the solar plexus and heart chakras.

Young Living has a few different types of Eucalyptus available:

Eucalyptus Blue $19.50 (5ml)
Eucalyptus Globulus $18.50 (15ml)
Eucalyptus Radiata $23.75 (15ml)

Did you know Young Living carries lip chap? And it’s honestly the best lip chap I’ve ever used.

The lavender is my favorite but there is also cinnamint (cinnamon and peppermint) and grapefruit. The ingredients include coconut oil, beeswax, jojoba oil, almond oil, wolf berry oil and rose hip oil as well as the essential oils which differ based on the type you get.

I have a few in stock if you’re looking for an extra little stocking stuffer (or if your lips are cracking and dry from this cold weather like mine 😬).

Here is my September order which I just picked up yesterday.

- 2 bottles of Ningxia Red (only one shown). If you read my earlier post you know I have committed to having a shot of this twice a day for the next month. It is supposed to really help with energy and it is super high in antioxidants which I can feel my body is craving.

- Refill bottle of Thieves hand soap. Mitch and I love this soap, and our bottles need a re-fill this month. I suspect this large bottle will last us several months.

- 2 bottles of Lavender, my whole family loves lavender and how much it helps with relaxation and sleep so these two bottles are actually going to my Mom and Dad because they are out.

- Eucalyptus for my Mom, it is amazing for respiratory congestion and eucalyptus combined with lavender and peppermint is amazing for asthma, which is what my Mom uses it for.

- Christmas Spirit because it smells amazing and I know Christmas is still a ways away, but it sold out last year so I'm sticking up while I can.

- Loyalty is actually an oil I was gifted for being a part of the loyalty program for 12 months and it smells amazing. There are too many oils in this blend to list but I'm interested to see how I'll end up feeling drawn to use this one.

- Vetiver because if you see my posts often you know how much I love it and I was out! It is amazing for grounding and balancing, it helps me stay levelheaded and in my body.

- Purification was a freebie this month. We love it here to freshen up our house or to use in the garbage. I also make a room spray out of this that I love.

- Grapefruit is really uplifting and is one of my favorite to blend with other oils. I've also been using this and geranium mixed in with my laundry soap because it smells delicious.

- Peppermint sample packs. These ones I didn't actually order, but I picked my order up at will call (no shipping charges!) and they gave me some samples for free so it was a win, win, win. ✨

And now I've realized I forgot a few things we needed like mouthwash and toothpaste 😳so I'll need to get those in on my next order.
