January Young Living Order
My YL Essential Rewards order just came for January and I couldn't be more excited. It was a small order (51 PV), but nonetheless just as captivating! I ordered Cedarwood Oil, Raven Oil, and Grapefruit oil chapstick.

Cedarwood Oil
Cedarwood is a woody, rustic, manly smelling oil. It reminds me of walking through the woods!
Uses:
Cedarwood is a very versatile oil, with uses ranging from a relaxing bedtime routine to skincare. You can diffuse this oil while you wind down in the evening or to relax you after a long day. Its scent of nature makes me feel calm and closer to God. You could also make a stress-relieving, relaxing roller ball! For skin care, you can massage the oil into your skin and scalp to create youthful-looking skin and healthy hair.

Raven
We love Raven so much, my mom needed one for herself. It smells similar to Vicks, and it is refreshing and reviving to smell. The minty aspect opens your sinuses up and supports your breathing.
Uses:
Raven is mainly used for respiratory support. I got a little cold when we traveled to Georgia for Christmas, and this oil (in combination with Eucalyptus Globulus) cleared up my sinuses! I made a roller ball and applied it to my chest, behind my ears, and under my nose. It was such an easy remedy for my congested sinuses. I put it in the diffuser too, and it not only helped with my congestion, but made the house smell clean and refreshed. It's also great for exercising, since it supports healthy breathing. I smell it before and after my run, and sometimes I'll put a drop on the neck of my shirt so I can smell it while I run.
Roller Ball:
8 Drops Raven
8 Drops Eucalyptus Globulus
Fill with Fractionated Coconut oil
Diffuse:
5 Drops Raven
5 Drops Eucalyptus Globulus

Grapefruit Lip Balm
I am a chapstick addict! I carry one everywhere because my lips get so chapped in the winter. I wanted to try a chapstick that was more natural and used essential oils. There were several options (Grapefruit, Lavender, and Cinnamint) and I couldn't be more pleased. It smells fruity and delicious and the ingredients are all natural and simple.
Ingredients: Cocos nucifera (Coconut) oil extract, beeswax, simmondsia chininesis (jojoba) seed oil, prunus amygdalus dulcis (sweet almond) oil, citrus paradisi† (grapefruit) peel oil, lycium barbarum (wolfberry) seed oil, rosa rubiginosa (rosehip) seed oil.
