I just did a happy dance in the parking lot of Tractor Supply because I got $50 credited back as a "Neighbors Club" member. TSC is one of our all time most visited stores..... we love them, and they love us because we drop so much 💰💰💰at their doorstep for our farm-ily's needs. 🐕🐱🐄🐎🐓🐣
As I was driving home, I thought about how silly that was of me to get all excited for saving $50. Broken down, I believe that $50 credit represented 5 months of $10 back for spending regularly at TSC. .... $10 back per month regardless of how much we spend there. I humbly submit to you that Charlie and I have the dubious honor of being on this Tractor  Supply's list of "Top 10 Patrons" (yes, we have THAT MANY animals).... so let your imagination run on what our monthly feed and animal supply bill looks like.
....And then my mind wandered to the Loyalty Program that Young Living has. Because we have used Loyalty Rewards  (being a monthly patron of Subscribe to Save) for more than 25 consecutive months, we now get 25% back on all of our orders. (10% back for the first 3 months, 20% back for months 4 thru 24). I did a quick rough calculation in my head and found that in 5 months, I had been able to "buy " approximately $750 in products for free, just by being a valued customer. Wow!!! 
Sometimes it's easy to forget or take for granted what we get each month. I'm always amazed by the freebies gifted to us with qualifying purchases each month, but I admit, I sometimes forget about how much those points help our farm-ily take care of ourselves.  We have dogs on Sulfurzyme and BLM.... massive amounts for two 🐕🐕of our older large dogs. Neither one would be with us today without these two supplements.  That $150 YL credit more than pays for their needs. 
Hidden blessings friends....
Tell me, how do you score in money back from where you shop?

​"Milk thistle's benefits derive from silymarin and silybin. Silybin belongs to the flavonoid group called flavonolignans, which have strong antioxidant  properties that reduce proinflammatory mediators through modulation of a variety of cell-signaling pathways." 
Some of you are like 👏, while others of y'all are like. I get it. If this were something written about computer technology, you'd have lost me too! That is why we are all gifted uniquely! 
So, if that was a foreign language, let me translate for you 😉.
God made plants with capabilities to heal.
Milk thistle is literally a crazy obnoxious weed in our farming world. And it is loaded with thorns, which makes it hard to handle without gloves. 
This large obnoxious stickery weed just also happens to be a potent antioxidant ( something that fights free radicals in the body. Excessive free radicals in the body are linked to diseases like diabetes, cancer, heart disease and others). Milk thistle also happens to have anti inflammatory and anti fibrotic effects (fibrosis of any organ is not a good thing). This wayward weed also appears to reduce insulin resistance and decreased fasting insulin levels. Kinda cool, right? 
Mostly tho, I'm pleasantly surprised to find this article in a Big Pharma journal... Ya'll, plants heal. Don't underestimate the power of plant juice 😉.

​It has been a few years since we've had a colicky horse. Colic in a horse isn't like colic in a baby.... it is not unusual for a horse to die from it if not caught early and treated quickly.I lost my first horse I ever had when I left for college. He colicked the first semester I was gone and was unable to be saved.😥
The following post 👇is from a friend of mine who has a fantabulous holistic barn education group (it is a paid for group, but very reasonably priced--- its called the Healing Barn Movement). She and her husband have many horses, and part of their life's work is to teach other horse families how to "do equine life"  toxin free both physically and emotionally (horses tend to mirror their humans). 
And meet Donkey Boy, if you haven't already! He's one of our equine herd of 5 on our farm. We do life as holistically as possible out here too. Our farm-ily is most definitely healthier for it. I've managed animals both ways.... the holistically managed animals tend to live longer healthier more productive lives..... just as it is with humans😉.

This last week has been a blur of education for me. Raise your hand🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️🙋 if you've ever been to a Young Living Farm... and which one(s) you've been to!  We have 3 in the USA (in Utah, and 2 in Idaho) and many more all over the world. I've been to 5 so far and dream of someday making it to every single one of them! 
This was a special trip for many reasons. We were able to stay on the farms in one of the cabins (a very sweet and memorable experience). We were there for raindrop training..... "What is Raindrop ?" .... so glad you asked! 
Imagine a farmer preparing the soil for a crop of goodness...... All that is done for the soil to make it ready for healthy abundant plants. That's.... in a nutshell.... a metaphor for the Raindrop. Think of it as clean healthy fertilizer for the immune system (and so much more!😍). 
I have undervalued this Very Important Tool, and I suspect that you may have too. But no more.... now that I know! We have the tools friends..... we only need to know how to use them! 
xoxo~ liz
PS.... I failed to mention that over half the people in attendance were health care professionals. Yep folks..... Western medicine peeps are slowly waking up to the benefits our oils have to offer!🙌🙌🙌

My wise friend.... she knows her stuff.
One of my mottos is this... You can pay the farmer or you can pay the pharmacist. You'll end up happier and healthier paying the farmer every time.  Promise!!

How many people believe that gaining weight is the result of eating too much and not exercising enough?!
What if I told you that some studies show obesity has a lot more to do with the quality of your foods, than the quantity of the foods you eat and the amount you exercise? 
I recently attended a lecture focusing on the study of obesity in relation to poverty. It was shown that people who face poverty are more likely to be overweight and obese. Isn’t that backwards? 
The observers looked at an affluent Indian tribe who were healthy and lean during the prime of their affluent lives when they were growing food and hunting, and followed up 30 years later when they had been pushed off their land, so that farming and hunting was scarce. It was observed that during these times of famine their entire dietary lifestyle shifted to one loaded with carbohydrates. 
The diet full of carbohydrates created hormone imbalance which led to insulin resistance.  
Insulin is the mechanism by which fat is transformed into usable energy. 
High insulin levels accumulate fat. 
High Glycemic Index carbs like sugars, breads, pasta, cereal, white rice are the driving force of insulin resistance and obesity.  
Filling your plate with more vegetables, fruits, lean protein and healthy fats may help to balance hormones and insulin levels, to reduce the likelihood of insulin resistance. 
Quality wins, every time. 💯

I've been working on a class about blood and blood typing with a couple of dear fellow educators. As I do my deep dives, it occurred to me to wonder why insects don't have red blood (does anyone else's mind go to places like this😂?)
I won't keep you in suspense if you are now on the edge of your seat with curiosity. Unlike mankind, the blood of insects does not transport oxygen. .... therefore no reddish colored hemoglobin is needed. 
Love your blood friends. Don't take it for granted and keep it clean and healthy or it cannot nourish the rest of your body.

Plant those seeds friends. I love having friends, mentors, and even people I don't know throwing seeds my way.... I try to keep my own soil fertile to allow for personal growth. 
Meanwhile, I hope and pray I'm able to pay it forward by sowing seeds for others.
Either way, huge blessings result! 
Receive the seed. Be the seed. Every day!

Good morning and Happy June! Can you believe we are already almost half way thru 2021? 😍
I'm excited to see these June freebies personally, and here's why...
300 PV tier
Retail value: $185.53
Peace & Calming essential oil blend, 15 ml
• We just added two new large rescue pups (teenagers really) to our farm crew, which changes the pack dynamics on our farm. ALWAYS, the goal is to have zero skirmishes within our dog pack of 6, so we use ALL the tools and skillsets to make sure this doesn't happen. Diffusing Peace & Calming friends.... and applying to to their collars and ears. I've been told this works nicely on kiddos too 😍, and I know it works well on we adults too!
The blue tansy in Peace and Calming just makes everything better! Hint: blue oils are great for skin and emotions!
250 PV tier
Retail value: $91.78
Aroma Siez essential oil blend, 15 ml
• When it's not raining (we've had a FLOOD here.... like almost nonstop for a month), I'm out in the garden pulling weeds like a crazy woman. 👩‍🌾 If you've ever pulled weeds by hand for 4 hours straight, you'll know how important Aroma Siez is to your muscles!
190 PV tier
Retail value: $47.37
Citronella essential oil, 15 ml
We've been using those nontoxic mosquito dunks like crazy in an effort to keep the mosquito population down out here, but frankly, there aren't enough mosquito dunks in the world to address the amount of standing water we've had, so the mosquitos are literally taking over the universe (in our area anyway). Solution? Become a walking diffuser!
Make a DIY outdoor spray blend of Citronella with oils like Rosemary, Tea Tree, Myrtle, Clove, or Lemongrass and spritz it on clothing as needed.
(pro tip: I also put a couple of drops of lemongrass vitality in a capsule and take it twice a day especially during summer months)
You could also add a drop or two of Citronella to your YL Sunscreen and solve two problems at once with application!
Bonus Essential Rewards: Eucalyptus Globulus essential oil, 15 ml
Lung health! ...... do your research friends.  Good stuff!
• I totally equate Eucalyptus (and rosemary and lavender) with a spa day (a rare rare luxury)...... make yourself a mixture of these three and add to your dryer balls or make a spritz bottle for your pillow. You'll breathe easier and life will feel that much better wrapped in healthy goodness!
And as always...... free shipping with any order greater than 100 PV.
Have a beautiful day!!
