THYME VITALITY (100 PV ER EXCLUSIVE)

“Thyyyyyme is on {our} side…” Ok, maybe this isn’t the ‘time’ the Rolling Stones were talking about, but we think a drop or two in your marinades will make your veggies, chicken, and fish absolutely sing on the grill! (See what we did there?!) It’s even great in your salad dressings, pasta sauces, dips, and more. You know how invaluable Thyme is in the kitchen, but let’s not forget all the therapeutic benefits as well. There’s a reason it’s in Inner Defense, after all! YL suggests adding 1-2 drops to a veggie capsule for daily cardiovascular and digestive support.

 

CORIANDER VITALITY (190 PV ER EXCLUSIVE)

If you haven’t used coriander in your dishes before, why not get a little adventurous this August with a recipe for Chinese soup, Indian masala, or Mexican salsa where you can show off your Coriander Vitality’s flavor punch! Coriander Vitality is also another great oil for your immune system along with supporting pancreatic function and the digestive tract. Try adding 2 drops to a veggie capsule after eating spicy foods to help settle your stomach!

 

PARSLEY VITALITY (190 PV ER EXCLUSIVE)

It’s a dirty world out there, so come clean with the internal cleansing benefits of Parsley Vitality! From environment to diet, life is full of toxins and other nasties that can keep you from feeling your best. With a daily drop of Parsley Vitality (either in a capsule or with your morning smoothie), you can take advantage of the benefits of this essential oil triple threat: internal cleansing, antioxidant properties, and overall wellness. In addition, just a drop delivers all the crisp, green, bright flavor of fresh parsley, one of the most beloved culinary herbs in the world. This is one of the newest members of the Vitality oil lineup and is a great addition to soups and stocks. Consider using it as seasoning to balance and brighten seafood, meat, poultry, eggs, rice, pasta, and veggie dishes!

 

BLACK PEPPER VITALITY (190 PV)

Time to spice things up a bit, friends! We all know that salt and pepper are staples in most recipes. While salt usually serves to enhance the flavors in a dish, pepper adds depth and complexity to dishes that otherwise might not have it. A drop or two of Black Pepper Vitality can replace ground black pepper to really help make your dishes irresistible! It is especially great in marinades, rubs, and homemade salad dressings. Here is one of my favorite (and easy!) Black Pepper marinade recipes:

Don’t be afraid to experiment a little with your sparkling beverages and cocktails, too. A toothpick swirl of Black Pepper Vitality can add a bit of a punch to drinks like Bloody Marys and can help balance out the sweet like it does in NingXia Zyng.

 

MOUNTAIN SAVORY VITALITY 5ML (250 PV)

This is an herb many of you may not have heard of until Young Living and man I’m glad we made the introduction! While its main use is immune system support (are you noticing the other theme with the oils in this month’s promos??), it’s also known for its cleansing properties while delivering powerful antioxidants. Add a drop or two to your daily tea/water or put 1-2 drops in a veggie capsule with some carrier oil to support your overall wellness. In the kitchen, Mountain Savory is reminiscent of Oregano in flavor, so it’s great added to meats, beans, or stuffing to impart a spicy, herbaceous flavor!

 

ORANGE VITALITY 5ML (250 PV)

So really, can enough good things be said about oranges and their many uses?? Well the essential oil that comes from this lovely fruit is pretty dang great too! Orange Vitality is awesome to flavor water or drinks, plus it’s a fantastic addition to both sweet and savory dishes. Did you know Orange Vitality can help support your digestive system as well? A drop in your morning water or NingXia Red is a wonderful way to start your day off right. If you need #allthecaffeine in the morning, try this yummy orange creamsicle iced latte recipe:

We’re sorry, did someone peek into our dreams and make them come true?! WE LOVE THIS BOARD!! Charcuterie is super popular right now and we can’t wait to make our next spread on this gorgeous YL-branded charcuterie board. Regardless of what little delights you decide to put on this, be sure to utilize the three Vitality oil bottle holders on it to enhance those treats or show what you used in some of your dips and sauces. This is perfect for showing your love of YL at your small summer gatherings or just for you and the fam!

 

YL ADULT & CHILD MATCHING APRONS (400 PV)

But for real… If your kids love to cook in the kitchen with you, you’ll want to get your hands on these lovelies! You get two aprons – one for you with a 15 ml bottle image printed on it and one for your littles with a 5 ml bottle logo. Darling, right?! You and your little sous chef will be ready to tackle any cooking project in style for sure! Oh, and don’t worry about making a mess since these can be easily washed and dried.

 

As an added bit of information for this month’s promos, remember that essential oils are MUCH more potent (and powerful + helpful + medicinal) than dried herbs. Here is a quick conversion chart for the freebie oils you’ll receive with your qualifying August order:

 

 

Even though it’s been a strange summer for most of us (to say the least ), we can still enjoy the gift of cooking and spending time together. This is made even better with the added health benefits of essential oils! So tell us what you’re most excited about or what you can’t wait to make with your promo goodies. Recipes are welcome in the comments!  Also, don’t forget that you can earn the promos twice each month – once on Essential Rewards and once on a regular Shop order. We hope you enjoy every last minute summer has to offer!
