"We’re creating healthy homes for each of us and a healthy world for all of us by taking God's healing plants to the world." Young Living Essential Oils
Each year, Young Living hosts an International Grand Convention and with the convention, they see fit to release new products suited to the time and seasons we find ourselves in. This year was no exception. I find that Young Living tends to see needs we have in the health and wellness category and blow it out of the water as far as quality and item released.
Please enjoy the write up and findings I share below.

Bracelet
The YL Foundation bracelet this year is stunning. The tiger eye chip beads are incredible and this diffuser bracelet made by women of the Mabira Collective in Uganda is beautiful. It stacks well with past Young Living Foundation bracelets too!
Mabira Collective is a woman led social enterprise that supports a school for children with disabilities. Mabira also provides stable employment that offers women the opportunity to grow, learn, and lead and helps pay for school fees and health care. I love these fair trade items the foundation are sourcing. Perfect for adding to your collection of stackable bracelets and for gift giving!

SIMPLIFIED with Jacob & Kait
Summer Collection
Every launch Young Living has there are of course, amazing things. This year is no exception.
One I am really thrilled with is the Simplified Collection from Jacob and Kait. For twelve years I have used and loved essential oils and when you love something this much it is an easy button to share it. Yet, when I come across friends who enojy candles and fake airfresheners I, at times, am a bit stimied. While essential oils are fantastic and smell incredible, to capture the scent of the ocean in an essential oil is not quite that simple.
Until now.
These three blends are so uniquely curated that any candle lover wouldn't be able ot resist the yum that is in these scents.
I was gifted this set and can tell you first hand, it's just lovely. How grateful I am that I have a little piece of convention right in my home.
If you share Young Living with anyone, this may be the perfect tool to ease their transition from fake news fresheners & candles into the life giving aroma of essential oils.
Three seasonal blends that are done for you! No need to blend multiple oils to get your home smelling like the beach, or the summer tropics - just pop these in your diffuser with ease. And seasonal is just that, seasonal. We will have new blends every season so watch for those as the calendar turns the pages.
TROPICAL TANGO-coconut, orange, ylang yang, spearmint
Start by taking your nose on a trip to the tropics with the scents of ripe coconuts, juicy oranges, and fresh-picked florals in our Tropical Tango essential oil blend. Featuring Ylang Ylang from our Finca Botanica Farm in Ecuador, this bright, blissful blend will have you feeling like you’re living on island time.
ORANGE CREAMSICLE // orange, bergamot, vanilla, wintergreen
When you want to relive the nostalgia of cool summertime sweets, count on Orange Creamsicle. Made with real Madagascar
vanilla, this creamy, citrusy scent will bring back memories of simpler times and summer days spent outdoors with friends.
SEASIDE // lime, orange, sage, pepper, seaweed, bitter orange
Treat your senses to the crisp smell of Seaside. Inspired by the salty ocean air and warm summer nights, this blend is a vacation in a bottle. We made it with Neroli from the blossoms of the bitter orange tree near the Mediterranean ocean.

Inner Beauty Collagen
A product four years in the making and one we have been waiting for especially one that is versatile, clean CLEAN clean, sustainably sourced- a skin loving collagen!
Way back in the day, I researched collagen and found quite a lot of negative chatter about taking it, not likely that we'd be able to absorb it etc. So I paid it no more mind and moved along. In recent years the selling of collagen has ramped up and like me with CBD, I brushed it off thinking, again, I've done my research, probably minimal notice, if any and I'm not a huge fan of beef so, never mind.
After listening to Dr. Oli Wenker's research and explanation of Inner Beauty collagen, I am recanting my thoughts on collagen, particularly Young Living's newest release! The fact that is is a hydrolyzed collagen is the key factor is absorption etc. This makes all the difference.
- Sustainably sourced Type 1 marine collagen is incredibly bioavailable and absorbed best by the skin
- This has been shown to reduced the look of wrinkles in as little as 3 weeks
- Inner Beauty Collagen improves skin’s smoothness & elasticity, including after UV damage
- Plus it supports healthy skin, hair, and nails
- ANNND no dairy, gluten, added sugars, fillers, flavors, or colors.
Every ingredient matters:
* Type I marine collagen: A highly soluble form of bioavailable type I collagen, this ingredient is sourced from sustainable fish using a proprietary hydrolysis manufacturing process that uses no harsh chemicals or solvents. It is odorless and tasteless.
* Peach ceramides: This ingredient helps provide hydration to the skin, decreasing skin dryness.
* Biotin, vitamin C, and zinc: Vitamin C and zinc support collagen synthesis for glowing skin, while biotin supports hair and nail health.
* Tapioca fiber: This prebiotic fiber supports healthy skin by balancing the gut microbiome.
* Superoxide dismutase (SOD): SOD is an antioxidant enzyme produced through fermentation.
* Hyaluronic acid: This ingredient supports skin hydration, helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for more youthful-looking skin.
* Vanilla oleoresin: This oleoresin is a unique form of vanilla that is neither an extract nor an absolute, both of which contain mostly alcohol, and is extracted from hand-pollinated orchid blossoms.
Ideas for taking collagen:
Stir it into your morning coffee or tea!
If you sip a morning beverage, may as well add some health to it by stirring in a scoop of skin-supporting collagen. You won’t taste a difference!

Ningxia Greens
Not being a huge fan of taking pills, imagine my sheer joy that not only in the new collagen in a power form, but YL has developed a greens POWDER! Below is all the technical (MUCH NEEDED TO BE READ) information on Ningxia Greens.
The nitty gritty:
- 60+ whole foods, 5 varieties of immune-supporting mushrooms, plus wolfberry fruit and sprouted leaves from our Seed to Seal farm in Ningxia, China (carefully extracted using a heat-free method )
- One scoop a day of this plant-based goodness gives you energy, immune support, and gut health!
- Includes Multigreens essential oil blend
Key Ingredients:
* NingXia wolfberry fruit powder and sprouted leaves: Also known as goji berries, wolfberries come from an ancient plant, long praised in China for its powerful health benefits.
* Maitake, reishi, turkey tail, shiitake, and enokitake mushrooms: A source of soluble fiber known as beta glucans, these mushrooms help support a healthy immune system.
* Fermented Superfood Blend: A fermented superfood blend that delivers nutrients that are difficult to obtain from a typical diet, this proprietary combination also contains enzymes to support optimal digestion.
* Purslane: An edible succulent, this ingredient is one of the few vegetables that’s rich in plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals—including copper, magnesium, iron, manganese, and potassium, vitamin E, and vitamin C. Purslane is also a uniquely rich source of 184 phytochemical compounds, including phenolic acids, alkaloids, and flavonoids, which act as antioxidants.
* Secale cereale flower pollen extract: A non-allergenic and sustainably sourced extract that contains full-spectrum nutrients such as amino acids, phytosterols, fatty acids, carotenoids, flavonoids, vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, this extract is clinically shown to display antioxidant and detoxifying capacity and maintain cellular oxidative stress through significant decrease of GSSG (oxidized glutathione).
