We’ve been in Go Mode all August. The energy has been high, the goals have been bold, and the focus has been on forward momentum. But here’s the truth: it’s not the big bursts that create lasting results—it’s consistency.
This last week of August, I want to encourage you to pause, reflect, and celebrate the small, steady actions that actually move the needle. Because consistency—not perfection—is where the real win happens.

Meet Your Oily Girl Friday™
Traditionally, a “Girl Friday” was the right-hand woman who kept everything running smoothly—versatile, reliable, and always on call to handle whatever came her way.
Fast forward to today… and meet The Oily Girl Friday™—your modern-day, 24/7 aromatherapy assistant.
She’s not filing papers or typing memos. Instead, she’s here to:
- Suggest diffuser blends that match your mood
- Share recipes for rollers, sprays, and DIYs
- Offer quick tips so your oils stay in rotation, not on the shelf
Think of her as your digital right-hand woman for wellness—always on call, always consistent, and always helping you stay aligned.
Try her for a week, share your feedback, and I’ll mail you a Fun Fall Sample Pack as a thank-you.
- Start here: bit.ly/OilyGirlFriday
- Provide feedback: bit.ly/GirlFridayFeedback
Your Oily Girl Friday™, always on call.

Save the Date: YL Day – Saturday, October 11
Mark your calendar now: Young Living Day is coming up on Saturday, October 11.
This year we’re gathering in person for an Oily Girl Friday Goes Live event with cozy fall vibes, education, giveaways, and of course—community. Details and registration will be announced soon, but for now, circle the date and get ready to join us for an afternoon of fun and inspiration.
Wrapping August📚
As we close out August, remember: success isn’t about doing it all. It’s about showing up consistently, even in small ways, and letting those habits build the life you want.
Consistency is the win. And with Oily Girl Friday at your side, you don’t have to do it alone.

CJ’s Oil in the City
Your brain makes up just 2% of your body weight, but it uses 20% of your energy. That tiny powerhouse is running the whole show: memory, mood, focus, sleep, cravings, decisions, and more.
This month’s free Brilliant Brain Course is designed to help you give your brain the love and support it deserves. Because brain health isn’t just for seniors. It’s for busy moms, working professionals, caretakers, creatives—you. Whether you’re 25 or 65, your brain matters, and the good news is that you can shape how it performs.
⸻
What You’ll Learn Inside
The Brilliant Brain Course will walk you through:
- What’s really going on in your brain, without needing a neuroscience degree
- Simple, science-backed ways to boost brain health
- How to improve focus, energy, memory, mood, and sleep
- Tools to help you feel like yourself again—or maybe even better
By the end, you’ll walk away with practical, everyday strategies to take charge of your most valuable asset: your brilliant brain.
⸻
Quick Brain Basics
- Neurons are your brain’s messengers—you have about 86 billion.
- Neurotransmitters are like chemical text messages: serotonin for mood, dopamine for motivation, GABA for calm.
- Neuroplasticity is your brain’s superpower—it can change, grow, and heal at any age.
Inflammation, stress, poor diet, and toxins all interfere with how these systems work, leading to brain fog, fatigue, and mood swings. But the flipside is empowering: when you care for your body, you care for your brain.
⸻
Nourish the Brain
Your brain is picky—it needs quality fuel to perform well.
- NingXia Red supports circulation, eye-brain connection, sleep, and energy with powerful antioxidants.
- MindWise nourishes cognitive function with CoQ10, turmericWelcome to the Brilliant Brain Course, and key nutrients.
- Mineral Essence provides the trace minerals your brain needs for neurotransmission.
Add in healthy fats (avocados, olive oil, nuts), hydration with minerals, and brain foods like eggs, salmon, and berries, and you’ll feel sharper, steadier, and more resilient.
⸻
Calm the Brain
Stress keeps your brain in survival mode, flooding it with cortisol and draining focus. Essential oils and supplements can help bring calm back:
- Lavender, Frankincense, Peace & Calming, and Stress Away for emotional support
- Super B to nourish the nervous system
- KidScents Unwind for gentle relaxation
Pair oils with simple calming practices: deep breathing, journaling, gratitude, or tech-free wind-down routines. A calmer brain makes clearer choices.
⸻
Focus the Brain
Distraction is constant, but focus is a skill that can be strengthened:
- NingXia Nitro offers clean energy without the crash.
- Oils like Peppermint, Clarity, Brain Power, or GeneYus support attention and mental clarity.
- Add movement breaks, puzzles, and protein-rich breakfasts to keep your brain powered throughout the day.
⸻
Rest the Brain
Sleep isn’t lazy—it’s maintenance. Your brain clears toxins, consolidates memories, and balances hormones while you rest. Tools to help:
- RutaVaLa, Cedarwood, and SleepyIze oils for restful sleep
- KidScents Unwind to relax the nervous system
- Habits like limiting screens before bed, diffusing calming oils, and evening protein snacks to balance blood sugar
⸻
Protect the Brain Long-Term
Brain health isn’t just about today, it is about protecting your future. Reduce toxins, learn new skills, and support daily detox with tools like the Daily Detox Duo. Stay mentally and physically active, and your brain will thank you with sharper focus and better memory for years to come.
⸻
Take the Next Step
Your brain deserves intentional care. The Brilliant Brain Bundle makes it simple to get started with products and tools that nourish, calm, focus, and protect your brain.
This month’s free class gives you the knowledge. These tools help you put it into action.

🌡️ Feeling a Little Off This Summer?
Let’s talk about it.
The sudden outbursts of sweat.
The 2:00 a.m. wakeups.
The unexplained mood swings.
The discomfort that doesn’t quite have a name—but you feel it.
When your hormones are doing the most (and the summer heat is doing even more), it can feel like your body is on a roller coaster with no seatbelt.
This is your reminder: you’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you don’t have to push through it in silence.
We’re not doctors, but we are wellness-minded women who believe in listening to our bodies and taking small, daily steps toward balance. Whether you’re working with a practitioner or just starting to pay attention, essential oils can be powerful allies in your wellness toolkit.

🌿 My Summer Hormone Helpers
These are the oils I turn to when I need support for sleep, mood, energy, and hormone rhythm:
👉 Progessence Plus – A plant-based serum infused with wild yam extract and essential oils. It’s gentle enough for daily use and supportive for hormonal balance.
👉 Dragon Time – Specifically formulated for emotional and physical support during “those days,” but I use it anytime I feel ungrounded or moody.
👉 EndoFlex – A must-have for thyroid and adrenal support. Apply over the neck or spine for a gentle pick-me-up, or diffuse when you need a mood boost.
