Ningxia Red

Hey Peeps

I thought I would take a minute today to talk about a Young Living product I've used since I discovered the company.   A whole 128 months ago....that's over 10 years!!!   This one item has been in almost every single monthly order I've placed.   Let's see what Young Living has to say about it:

Infused with Lemon, Orange, Yuzu, and Tangerine essential oils, NingXia Red® is a delicious beverage that includes juices and extracts from superfruits such as aronia, plum, blueberry, pomegranate, and—best of all— whole fruit pulp from exotic Ningxia wolfberries.

This powerful little berry gets its name from the Ningxia region of China, where Young Living Founder D. Gary Young first learned of its unparalleled nutritional profile. It’s commonly called the wolfberry, though it’s also known as goji berry, an adaptation of its original Mandarin Chinese name, gǒuqǐ.

NingXia Red packs a punch, offering benefits that include support for normal eye health, cellular function, and energy levels. By enjoying 2 ounces twice daily, you can make NingXia Red a vital part of your journey to transformed wellness.*





Now, I know what you're going to ask, how much is it? Do I really have to take it every day? Does it taste good?    I'm going to help you with those questions


How much is it?   well, that varies, if you just click on the link and order it from YL, it's going to cost you 110.53.  That's for two bottles which lasts me a month.  I only drink 2 oz once a day, I know more is better but there's also a budget to work with.   I ain't made of moola over here!   With that said, you can use my SHAREYL code for your first order to save 10%.  The minimum order is $50 but one Ningxia order will cover you there.   Now if you'd choose to become a Brand Partner, that little item is going to cost you 84.00 PLUS you'll start earning loyalty points. That's the 25% I get back but you have to start out at a lower percentage back and it builds, 25% is the max.  Basically for every dollar I spend, I get a quarter added to my loyalty account.  Now, if you are looking to build you a side hustle, then you should definitely choose to become a Brand Partner.  Don't fret there little filly, there's no heavy duty sales pitch or requirements.  How can you trust me? Well, I've been ordering for over 10 years and never worked this as a business.   That's right, I think I got a $25 bonus one time for signing up one of our kids but honestly, it cost me more than that.  She just wanted to be able to order products at a 25% discount without having to wait for my monthly order to go in.   So you'll never get pressure from me to build a business.   


Do you have to take it every day? I mean no one is going to come to your house and scold you if you don't but you will see the benefits if you are consistent.  Just like any other health supplement, it's not one and done.   Besides, it's yummy tasting and occasionally I give my dogs a little slurp of it, they love it too. 


Does it taste good?  I'm going to say yes!   I think it is quite delicious but it definitely needs to be cold.  How can you make it better?  You can add in some essential oils or you can add it to a Ningxia Zyng.  That's not a requirement because 99% of the time I just chug it from the bottle.  Hey, I'm the only one in the house who drinks it and the dogs don't mind.

Occasionally, like an early morning flight will have me wanting something with some extra energy.  Rather than rely on those chemical filled energy drinks that also usually have way too much caffeine for me, I'll mix up 2 oz of Ningxia with a can of Zyng.  It's especially delicious, when served cold over ice!   It's a small enough can that I can finish on the drive to the airport too.   




Here's what YL has to say about Zyng:

Our NingXia Zyng drink is where a burst of energy meets a burst of flavor! Refreshing, lightly carbonated, and packed with flavor, this drink combines Ningxia wolfberry (also known as goji berry) puree, sparkling water, pear and blackberry juices, and a hint of Lime and Black Pepper Vitality essential oils, as well as naturally occurring caffeine derived from white tea extract. These naturally derived ingredients create fizzy fun with vibrant flavor and hydrating energy in every sip.*



If I was just starting with YL, I would start with Ningxia Red and the ever popular Thieves oil.  That's a powerhouse oil for sure and one we are never without.    Better yet, grab you a Bundle, there are several Starter Kits and one that's sure to be just right for you.  This Link will take you to the page where you can see all the bundles and decide which one works for you.   Don't forget to use my ShareYL link to get yourself 10% off your first order. 


Let me know what products you're interested in learning more about.  I'm happy to learn right along with you! 


 Peace, Love, & Ningxia

TuTu Tuesday

Howdy Peeps!!!

We are definitely having some spring weather in Texas, one day close to 90 and the next in the 50's.  We are getting rain so we'll take it!

Let's get to the wild and wacky creations I came up with this last week, shall we?!


#1- Wednesday- I had a class so I needed to pull myself together a bit.  I don't usually wear shorts to class because it's always freezing in the classrooms.
Top: Rental from Nuuly- This is the Keira collared blouse by Pilcro (Small), I really liked the blouse and the price to purchase was dirt cheap but I'm trying a different color in my next rental.
Jeans: the Kut From The Kloth jeans (2) you've seen before
The belt, I thought came from Amazon but I can't find where I ordered it.  It's nothing special, just a brown faux leather belt.   The shoes are those Born mules that I've had forever.

#2- Thursday was spent working around the house so you know, fashion is not involved.
The shorts are the blue ones (small)  from Wallyworld and the t-shirt is from a few years ago. Barkus parade during Mardi Gras in New Orleans.  

#3- Thursday evening was HOA meeting and I couldn't go to that possible 💩 show in what I was wearing so I grabbed my favorite rental shorts from Mother (27).  I had to take those to the UPS store on Friday so I was getting one last wear out of them! I did reorder them in a 26 for April's box.  We'll see which I prefer.   Shirt: My old reliable Daydreamer Prince t-shirt and some platform KEDS tennis shoes.



#1- Friday had me out running a couple of errands then down to the neighbors for hot dogs that evening.
Shirt- We The Free by Free People from last year (XS) These shirts are fantastic, they wash and wear like a dream!   Shorts- Kut from the Kloth Jane shorts (4).   I'm sure I put on some shoes but I couldn't tell you what they were.  
#2- Saturday- you can see we hit that cooler weather and rain.  The sweatshirt is from a couple of years ago at Evereve. They usually have it every fall/winter but change the colors.  There is a black/white stripe down the sleeves and this hoodie is perfection!   The jeans are a rental from Nuuly that stayed with me. 
They are Good American (27) and they felt like they had been in my closet for years soft when they arrived.  I knew the second I put them on they were not going back.  I tossed a Baylor bears baseball cap on because it was humid as heck and my hair was growing by the second.   The tennis shoes are Nike, a purchase last year while at Mardi Gras that I've worn so much.  Excellent spur of the moment purchase!
#3- It's Easter Sunday and I wanted to be bright and happy even though it was still chilly out.
The sweater is another Evereve  (s) purchase and I absolutely love it.  It's not scratchy at all and so fun and the perfect cropped length. Jeans: PAIGE Anessa (27) and no, I did not pay that for jeans.  I found mine at Nordstrom Rack last year for a much more palatable price.   The shoes were a fun purchase last year too, Adidas Gazelle (8)    The white t-shirt is from Wallyworld, it's the Time & Tru brand (S) and I have it in black too.  It's the perfect layering tee.

Well, we've made it through another boring week of what she really wore so let's finish up this post.


#1- It's Monday and I felt like starting the week off by showing you my PJ's.  These are said pajamas that came from a FabFitFun box.   They are from HoneyDew (S/M) and are so soft.  I'm wearing my Ugg slippers and about to hop in the shower to start the week.
#2- My pj's may have looked nicer but I had lots of plants that I picked up on Saturday that needed tending too so super casual was the word of the day.   Leggings: The infamous leggings from Amazon (s) and a t-shirt the MereBear got for the family when we went on our Alaska trip trip.  
#3- brings us to today, we are warming up and I grabbed my old skort from Zelle for Nordstrom (M) - it's big but it's such a good skort, I haven't donated it yet.  The sweatshirt, Shiraleigh (M) you've seen before and I've since washed it in super hot water and tried to shrink, to no avail, it's tucked in a bit but it's the perfect light weight sweatshirt.  


I meant to take a pic of my pj's this morning but I forgot before I hopped in the shower.   It's a riveting day around here, catching up on computer work and listening to little Rouxby Sue snore at my feet.


She's a pampered girl indeed.

Take care my peeps, say a little prayer for someone in need today.
Peace, Love, & puppy snores
