Just squirt a small amount into your water and enjoy. Finally, after what seems like such a long time, our CBD products are rockin’ and rollin’ out of our warehouses and into your homes. Thousands of members have been waiting to put CBD into their orders, especially Essential Rewards orders, and discovering exciting benefits. Gary had been studying hemp and CBD for several years, just waiting for this plant/oil to come into our lives, but it had been blocked and branded negatively by regulatory agencies for too many years. Historically, hemp was used for many things—a fascinating study. Now, it seems like almost every health newsletter is filled with information touting its great benefits. I was thrilled to have some CBD for Gary and personally saw how it helped him. It was so calming and created such a peaceful feeling for him. We used CBD with some different essential oils like Frankincense and found the CBD to be even more effective. I love the feel of the mixture on my skin, and the CBD has such a beautiful viscosity. Don’t lose a minute to have your own personal experience.
YOUR GUIDE TO CBD
There will be many new formulations coming, so stay tuned. Before the beauty of Nature’s Ultra, which is now Young Living, I tried many different CBD brands and was saddened to see so many less-thandesirable products being sold to the unsuspecting public. Now with the Young Living Seed to Seal® commitment, I am so happy to feel secure about the purity of our CBD products. Tell your friends and let them know what’s available now. Happy oiling,

Everything you need to know about Nature's Ultra CBD
Just one month ago, Nature's Ultra officially joined the Young Living family, and if you haven’t tried it yet, you’re missing out! Here are a few of the things that set Nature’s Ultra CBD apart from other CBD products on the market. All Nature’s Ultra products contain our unique Smart Spectrum™ CBD blends: potent combinations of high-quality CBD isolate and Young Living essential oils. These powerful ingredients combine to create CBD products unlike any other. Of course, products like Nature’s Ultra CBD don’t just happen. To make superior CBD products, we start with superior hemp. That’s why we’ve committed to
using organic and sustainable farming practices that yield world-class hemp. We use the finest seeds and work hard to consistently improve the crop. Our soil is tested regularly, and we rotate crops to promote soil quality. Once our hemp is grown, we then extract the CBD by using a proprietary extraction method to avoid the use of heavy metals or solvents. Once we have high-quality CBD, it’s only right to pair it with high-quality essential oils. Every Nature’s Ultra CBD product contains specially chosen Young Living essential oils that offer a variety of benefits. For example, our CBD Muscle Rub contains a blend of Camphor, Clove, Helichrysum, Lemon, Peppermint, Tea Tree, and Wintergreen essential oils. All of these ingredients are great on their own, but it’s the combination of CBD and essential oils that makes it a go-to sore muscle soother after a long day or tough workout! Our commitment to quality doesn’t end once we’ve brought together great ingredients. We have a rigorous testing process to ensure that our CBD products are pure, potent, effective, and contain 0.0% THC. And because we believe in transparency, we share the test results so you can feel confident using our products! You can visit NaturesUltra.com/pages/ verify to see for yourself the results for your batch of product. All of these careful quality measures add up to product that is not only pure but Seed to Seal® pure. The three pillars of Seed to Seal—Science, Sourcing, and Standards—are the cornerstone of everything we do at Young Living, and our CBD products are no exception. That means you can use our CBD products with the same confidence of any other Young Living product. Nature’s Ultra CBD is the only CBD in the world that has been tested and shown to meet Seed to Seal quality standards. So don't wait to experience the incredible benefits of CBD for yourself—order Nature's Ultra CBD in your Virtual Office today!
How Foundation partner Hope for Justice hopes to end human trafficking in our generation Human trafficking is one of humanity’s gravest crimes, and today an estimated 40.3 million individuals are trapped in its vicious cycle. With more people enslaved than ever before, D. Gary Young, Young Living Foundation partner Hope for Justice is determined to put an end to modern slavery in our generation. The way they plan to achieve this weighty goal is through a four-step approach. Prevent. The first step is to prevent trafficking, which means reducing vulnerability in even the most susceptible communities. Through outreach teams, self-help groups, and community education initiatives, Hope for Justice is empowering at-risk individuals to protect themselves and their families from human traffickers and their recruiters. In Uganda and Ethiopia, self-help groups and child protection clubs are reaching thousands of women and children, educating them about the predatory techniques of traffickers. Rescue. Step two involves the rescue process of identifying victims, building trust, and removing them from exploitative situations. Through community outreach programs and involvement with selfhelp groups, Hope for Justice builds meaningful relationships. By establishing a safe space, they help vulnerable individuals feel empowered to share their stories of exploitation and receive the help they need. Restore. Restoration is the third step, where survivors receive customized care at Lighthouse restoration centers to help them overcome past traumas and begin rebuilding their lives. There, Hope

Hope for Justice is working at local, national, and international levels to bring an end to human trafficking.

GET TO KNOW DIAMOND LEADER BETHANY SHIPLEY
ESSENTIALLY YOURS Oils and products you start your day with
Tap into the power of authenticity
Like many Young Living members and leaders, Bethany Shipley’s journey with natural products began with hardship but continues with excitement. In 2013 she miscarried her first baby. Following her loss, she hoped to create a healthier home and cultivate her own wellbeing by exploring harsh-chemicalfree alternatives. She found herself sitting in a class taught by Royal Crown Diamond Jordan Schrandt, bought a premium starter kit, and began her trek. It’s a trek that’s so far taken her to Diamond and is something she loves. “What really lights me up about this business,” she says, “is the ability to show up daily with and for people I genuinely care about and, by default, see them achieve their goals. Seeing moms step into their personal power and change the trajectory of their family because of their commitment to their businesses, seeing families have health
breakthroughs in situations that otherwise seemed hopeless, and seeing my own family have opportunities that otherwise would have never existed—it all brings me to such an inspired place of gratitude.” Like other Young Living business builders, she’s grown with the help of others and pays it forward. The advice she considers most important? “Order something new to try on Essential Rewards every single month. You’ll quickly find what your favorites are, and you’ll know what will help the people you love.” Bethany’s personal “success recipe” also includes these two key ingredients: 1. Devoting time each day to: • Develop personally • Expand and engage your network • Engage and expand your team 2. Being authentic: She counsels everyone to work only in a way that is completely authentic to their purpose. “Identifying the difference between fear and intuition has been a journey for me, but remaining true to my calling has allowed people to trust me.” To those who face hardship but strive for success in their Young Living business, she recommends taking some time on a good day to write down reminders of the good things in life, so they can revisit them on a hard day. One cannot have organic growth, after all, without the healthy seed of gratitude.
When we asked you which YL product you reach for first thing every day, we learned that your morning faves include classic essential oils and much more. Thanks for sharing the YL products that get you going! “My routine first thing in the morning is to apply Wolfberry Eye Cream, Boswellia Wrinkle Cream™, 2 drops of Essential Beauty Serum™, and 2 drops of Progessence Plus™ to my face. I turned 64 in February and feel my skin is in the best shape ever. Thank you for creating these wonderful products.” —Susan B. “The first Young Living product I use every morning is NingXia Red® (so yummy). Then I take a shot of elderberry syrup, to which I add Lemon, Orange, and Ginger essential oils. Then I start to really wake up with my Satin Facial Scrub™—Mint, followed with my Frankincense-infused moisturizer. I am ready to face the day and whatever comes my way.” —Tammie C. “The first YL product that I use every day is Thieves® Whitening Toothpaste. I love this stuff!” —Rose E. “The first product I use every morning is Valor®, because it makes me feel like I have the strength of Hercules. Valor helps me face my day with a great sense of calmness and peace.” —Christine F. “I love using the Satin Facial Scrub™—Mint every morning after my shower. It leaves me feeling refreshed and ready to face the day!” —Sienna J.

BROCCOLI PEA FRITTERS INGREDIENTS For the yogurt sauce: ½ cup plain yogurt ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, like mint or dill (optional) For the fritters: 1 cup broccoli florets 2 /3 cup frozen petite peas 1 large egg ½ teaspoon fine sea salt 1 small green onion, finely chopped 2 sprigs of fresh mint, leaves removed and finely chopped 2 drops Lemon Vitality™ essential oil 1 drop Dill Vitality™ essential oil 2 tablespoons Gary’s True Grit® GlutenFree Pancake and Waffle Mix 2 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled Olive oil for frying
DIRECTIONS
Makes 8 small fritters
For the yogurt sauce: Whisk together all ingredients until well combined. Refrigerate until needed. For the fritters: 1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Blanch broccoli florets for 1-2 minutes (until just tender), drain, and set aside to cool. Blanch peas for 1-2 minutes, drain, and set aside. Coarsely chop cooled vegetables. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together egg, salt, chopped green onion, chopped mint, Lemon Vitality, and Dill Vitality until well combined. Add in pancake and waffle mix and whisk again until smooth. Add in reserved chopped vegetables and crumbled goat cheese; stir until just combined. Allow batter to sit for 5 minutes. 3. Heat a tablespoon or so of olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet or frying pan. Scoop mixture by large spoonfuls into pan and pat down gently to form fritters (don’t crowd the pan). Cook for about 2-3 minutes over medium-low heat until set and lightly golden on one side. Flip fritters over and cook an additional 1-2 minutes on the other side. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more olive oil to fry as necessary. 4. Serve warm with yogurt sauce on the side for dipping.
The Young Living Percherons' first event of the year was the Big Thunder Draft Horse Show held in Loveland, Colorado, January 17-19. Out of 15 hitches competing, Young Living’s Percherons brought home first place in the 8-Horse Hitch, 6-Horse Hitch, 4-Horse Hitch, Unicorn, and Team. After accumulating points in each of the classes, Young Living was named the High Point Hitch of the show. Along with the Best Shod Hitch, this title is awarded based on the farrier skills and finished shoeing product. The highlight for this team was to have the honor of shaking hands with Sergeant Jack Thurman. Jack was born in 1925 and enlisted in the U.S. military at the age of 18. Serving as a marine, he fought for the U.S. in World War II and at the age of 95 is the last living survivor of the Battle of Iwo Jima. Tim Sparrow, manager and driver of the Percheron team, said, "It was an honor to shake that gentleman's hand. Because of individuals like him, we are able to do what we do." Jack joined the Percheron team in celebrating by getting up close and personal with the gentle giants. Be sure to follow the Young Living Percheron team on Facebook at “Young Living Percherons Mona, Utah” for more information on their upcoming events. Congratulations to the Young Living Percherons on their big win!
