“The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.” Voltaire (Companion oil: Young Living ImmuPower™.) Today, we’re departing from the usual metaphysical leanings of our Feel Good Fridays and helping out those for whom feeling good today would mean not having to spend the whole weekend sniffling, coughing or aching while [...]
Back in the 70s, no dinner party was complete without big hair, groovy wallpaper and after dinner mints — you remember, those wafer-thin ones in the individual black envelopes that looked ever so discreet but vanished from the tray in a very indiscreet fashion. Today’s healthful choc-mint truffle balls might not fit into tiny waxed paper [...]
Peppermint and spearmint are both popular when it comes to breath mints and toothpaste (and lollies — but let’s keep our healthy hats on and not go there). When it comes to essential oils, however, choosing between peppermint and spearmint is more than just a flavour preference, so it’s handy to know your way around these [...]

I was going to use ‘if life gives you lemons, make lemonade’ as a quote to start today’s post but it’s so overdone, I won’t. (And I think I’ve already used it on a previous post about lemons. I rest my case.) Another option if life gives you lemons is to make lemon oil, though you’ll [...]
Next time you’re buying lemons, try playing the ‘Guess the jelly beans in the jar’ game with the display, then multiply it out to 3000 lemons. That’s how many it takes to produce one kilo of oil. I kid you not. If you ever wonder why authentic, genuine top quality essential oils cost what they do, [...]
Today, we’re rounding up our series of posts celebrating lavender — the universal oil — by visiting Young Living’s very own lavender farm in the heart of lavender country: Provence. This region in the south-east of France, like its closely related Italian counterpart Tuscany, is the stuff dreams are made of. Find an old farmhouse just [...]
“… find out where joy resides and give it a voice far beyond singing, for to miss the joy is to miss all.” Robert Louis Stevenson (Companion oil: Young Living Joy™.)
