Friends, if you haven’t heard about essential oils, you may be living in a cave. Am I right? Essential oils are getting a lot of attention lately…and for good reason. I started using essential oils about 2 years ago, when I was suffering from the worst sinus infection ever. I was pregnant with our sixth baby at the time, and didn’t want to use antibiotics, so I went on the hunt for something natural. And that started me and my family on our journey.
We have since thrown away all our chemicals in our home and disposed of any over the counter medications we had. In the last 2 years, our health has improved tremendously!
If you know me at all, you know I am a big proponent for simple, natural living. I am not perfect by any means, but I do what I can, when I can. When I first started with essential oils, I did tons of research. I read books and articles and read and listened to anything I could get my hands on. I wanted to be absolutely sure I was doing the best thing for my family.
You can pretty much walk into any store and find essential oils now. The thing is…you don’t know what is actually in the bottle. They may smell good, but they can have harmful fillers, synthetic chemicals added, they may use high heat or high pressure when they remove the essential oils from the plants or a variety of other things that would make me NOT want to put that product on my skin or in my body. In fact, many of these products will have a “do not ingest” or “not for topical use” on the bottle.
Then there are essential oils that come directly from the plants, that are extracted with LOW heat and LOW pressure so that the oils are not damaged, that do not have harmful chemicals added during the extraction process, that are grown in the right soil in the right conditions, and that are thoroughly tested for their therapeutic qualities.
Those are the oils that actually can benefit my family’s health and wellness. I prefer quality, straight from the source essential oils. I always find it funny when people think of essential oils as a “new age” trend when you can read about essential oils in the Bible!
How I Use My Oils
I signed up for Young Living at the end of in the Spring of 2015 and have been using essential oils, and essential oil infused products DAILY since then. And our family has never been healthier.
Young Living has a WIDE variety of essential oil products that are completely free of harmful chemicals and can help with things like:
• A restful night’s sleep
• Arthritis pain
• Inflammation
• Digestive support
• Weight loss
• Minor muscle and joint aches
• Support for the respiratory system
• Bruises and sprains
• Coughs & Sore Throats
• Supporting a healthy immune system (AND our kids!)
• Support for healthy blood pressure and healthy blood sugar (already in a healthy range)
• Cognitive support and focus
• Supporting normal cellular growth
• And SO MUCH more!
If you’re interested in getting started with essential oils, then you have a couple of options.
Option 1: You can become a retail customer and just buy the oils that you need. You’ll pay a 24% markup on the oils when you purchase at retail price, but there are a few who still choose to go this route.
Option 2: You can get started as a wholesale member and get one of the Premium Starter Kits. The starter kit has the essential oils that EVERYONE needs in their home!
Also, when you are a wholesale member then you get access to our exclusive FUN Facebook group to help you in your essential oils journey!
When I got started, I bought the Premium Starter Kit, and I’m so glad that I did! That is your best bang for your buck!
There is absolutely no obligation to sell anything when you buy a starter kit. You are a wholesale member and get the benefit of a 24% discount for any future products that you decide to buy! You have the option of sharing about the products with others and getting a “Thank You” check from Young Living, but it’s certainly not a requirement.
When you become a wholesale member, there are also NO monthly minimum purchases! This is not one of those programs where you have to order monthly to keep your membership. I found that so relieving when I got my Starter Kit. I could literally just buy my Starter Kit, and that was it.
BUT, I will say that most people find that they love the products so much that they WANT to order monthly. And Young Living has an incredible rewards program for those who want to participate in that program and get free oils every month!!! We can talk about that if you are interested, just let me know.
The world of essential oils can be confusing, especially when you first get started, so I’m here to help you and walk with you in your journey. I have FREE group just for my oily friends and am always here for you when you have questions. With 6 kids, a home business, pets, a farmhouse, a husband who doesn’t like to stop…I have some experience with what works and what doesn’t.
If you get a Young Living Premium Starter Kit through me, then I will ALSO personally mail you a package with my favorite Essential Oils handbook to help you!! I use this book constantly!
ALSO, when you get your Premium Starter Kit in December, then you’ll also get a completely free bottle of one of my FAVORITE blends… Christmas Spirit! It’ll just automatically be added to your order. 🙂
Oh, and one quick thing. You get ELEVEN 5 ml bottles with this kit (12 with the Christmas Spirit). Several people always ask each time I talk about this starter kit if it’s just the samples. Nope, you get everything in the picture below with your kit including the 11 5 ml bottles of oils!
By ordering this in essential oils Premium Starter Kit, you’ll get:
- 10 5ml bottles of our exclusive essential oil blends and single oils: Lavender, Lemon Vitality, Peppermint Vitality, Frankincense, Copaiba Vitality, Thieves Vitality, PanAway, R.C., Purification, DiGize Vitality
- A DIFFUSER to smell them all. You get 3 different Diffuser options to choose from: The MOST gorgeous spa experience and my favorite is the Aria, the Rainstone (my favorite for my bedroom), or the DewDrop or Home diffuser
- A Product Guide
- Bonus 5ml bottle of Stress Away
- AromaGlide Roller Fitment (you can put this roller ball on any of our 5ml or 15ml bottles and they last forever!)
- 2 packets of Ningxia Red
- 10 Mini dram bottles for samples
- 10 Sample packets of oil (including a sample of Peace & Calming!)
- 10 product usage cards with a place to attach a sample
- A vibrant support community for members only to empower your health choices
- My welcome gift to you
- Enjoy 24% off retail prices FOREVER as an active member
- The ability to earn points on everything you order to support your wellness goals via our frequent buyer’s club
If you are ready to get started, then be sure to sign up as a wholesale member (with one of the premium starter kits) through the instructions below to take advantage of these freebies!
You can also send me an email at [email protected] and I can help you get started or answer any questions you may have!
Click HERE to get your Starter Kit!
The sign up is very simple, but if you’d prefer step-by-step directions, then read below!
1. Head over to the Young Living page here and select either “Member” (for one of the Premium Starter Kits) or “Retail Customer” to pay the 24% mark-up if you just want to buy an oil or two to try.
2. Fill out the rest of your information and when it asks for “enroller ID” and “sponsor ID” make sure that both of those have 2571415 in the member number so that I can add you to my group and hold your hand. 🙂
3. Select which starter kit you want. This is the FUN part!! You get to choose from FOUR different diffusers to add to your order. I chose the Home Diffuser when I bought my kit and later got the Bamboo diffuser and the Aria. Any choice is great, but keep in mind the price differences!
4. *OPTIONAL* If you already know that you want to be ordering regularly (we knew when we first started that we wanted to stock up on oils for emergencies), then you can go ahead and sign up for Essential Rewards right there when you order your starter kit! It’s an amazing way to earn FREE oils with your order every month! It’s a completely OPTIONAL program, so if you’re just wanting the starter kit for now then you can just skip this part of the sign-up process. I’ll chat more about it in our group, so don’t worry about skipping it.
5. Go through the checkout process.
6. After you sign up, send me an email at [email protected] and I will send you all of the information that you need to get started!
IMPORTANT: The educational materials are only available when you sign up with the sponsor ID and enroller ID as #2571415

December 29, 2016 at 7:36 amA virus made its way through our house recently and after almost two weeks of dealing with it, I headed to bed and made a chest rub with my Breathe blend. (I was starting to have a heavy, funny feeling in my chest and was worried about bronchitis) After that day I felt better!

December 29, 2016 at 11:45 amI LOVE my essential oils. I have gone to creating my own combos because I have sensitivities to certain ones. Yesterday I put peppermint, cinnamon bark, and wintergreen in a roller bottle with some coconut oil and I am loving it! I worked at the computer all day but every time I started to get a pain somewhere I would roll it on and it was gone!

December 29, 2016 at 5:38 pmI wish I could do YL. I just have never been able to afford it. I won an oil in a giveaway about 1.5 years ago and then I ordered “purification” and loved it, but I just haven’t had the money :/ Maybe one day.
