If you’ve been following me over on my facebook {and I encourage you to do so if you haven’t – I share a lot more helpful posts on a regular basis that I don’t share here} you know that I’ve been “dabbling” with essential oils for a few months. Actually, after reading anything and everything I could get my hands on about traditional diets and whole foods, I began to wonder about essential oils and herbs for wellness.
To be perfectly honest, I really felt that God was telling me that essential oils were my next assignment. I’ve educated myself over the past 4 and half years about whole foods and I’ve changed a great deal of our personal care and cleaning products and this seemed like a natural next step for me and for my family.
My personal goal was to look for ways to step away from over the counter medications for myself, my husband, and my children. Thankfully, my family has been very healthy {which I feel certain our eating habits play a huge role in} with the exception of my husband having some life altering illnesses that God grew us both through. For the most part the ailments that we deal with are those most families do from time to time: sinusitus, seasonal allergy symptoms, a mild headache, a boo boo from falling down {skinned knees, bumps and bruises}, and bug bites. These seemed like simple enough things that I might be able to find more natural remedies for.
I borrowed books from the library, from my mom, and read articles galore about the topic. I made a list of oils to pick up and then an old friend, Alyssa, showed up at just the right moment in my life {God has an interesting way of doing that, doesn’t He!}.
She introduced me to Young Living, a company who produces essential oils. The biggest thing that stood out to me about his company and their products were that these oils were safe to use not only topically or for diffusing, but can be ingested! That’s because Young Living’s oils are 100% therapeutic grade. These are NOT like the oils you can get at your local health food store or herb shop.
When I finally did decide that I was ready to join Young Living, I didn’t do it to build a business. To be perfectly honest, it never even crossed my mind that I would ever share this information. This was for ME. I was doing this for MY FAMILY. Actually, I’ve never been part of any “at home” sales company like Mary Kay, Avon, Tupperware, etc. And, honestly, I kind of detest multi-level marketing businesses. It’s just not my style to pressure people into buying my product…I don’t like to be pressured so I don’t like to pressure people either.
However, I simply couldn’t NOT tell you about these products. They have truly been a God-send for my family. I have been absolutely thrilled with what they have accomplished so far and am excited about the possibilities that I haven’t explored yet.
To give you a quick {but powerful} example: they have totally changed our bed time routine – for the better. My daughter {who used to fight tooth and nail to not go to sleep and often ended up in our bed} is now going to sleep, peacefully (!), in her own bed – in 15 to 20 minutes, rather than 1 to 2 HOURS! I have reclaimed my evenings!! Can I get a HALLELUJAH up in here?!
My next personal assignment is to lower my husband’s blood pressure and cholesterol with the help of essential oils instead of pharmaceuticals. I’ll be sharing more about how that is going soon! We are so thrilled to have these God-given resources and HIS wisdom – especially since due to chemotherapy DJ’s liver has been through the ringer. And, have you noticed that the side effects of many drugs can be worse than what they treat!?
So, I’m sharing this with you in the chance that you are looking for another way. A more natural way. I mean, most of us would choose a natural solution first any way, right? And, what if I told you that the use of some essential oils could actually help you preventatively. That’s music to a mama’s ears – especially when you consider doctor’s bills during cold and flu season with little ones!
I don’t want you to be pressured. Actually, I want you to pray. Pray if this is right for you. Pray for God to give you direction in your journey to feed and care for your family well. You can be sure that I will share more about how we are using Young Living essential oils in our home – for cleaning, for wellness, for sickness, for sleep! If something we are doing resonates with you then maybe you’ll be ready to take the plunge. But, even if you never do, I’ll still love you – and help you, with feeding your family wholesome meals, keeping your family healthy, and finding your own rhythm with family life.

Joining Young Living – Getting Wholesale Prices on Essential Oils {FAQ}
Why Should I Become An Independent Distributor?
Good question! This is a great option that provides you 24% off retail price! Even if you never share these products with anyone else, you’ll be able to purchase the items you want to use with your family for the wholesale price. As you use the oils and you share your testimonals with friends and family, you have the option of earning commissions when others join and purchase Young Living oils. Win-win!
Is there a monthly order minimum?
No. You can just order what you need when you need it.
I just really want to use oils myself. Do I have to sell Young Living products to be a distributor?
This is totally a-okay! There is no obligation to sell oils when you join as an independent distributor. However, if you ever change your mind, you can jump right in.
Are you *sure* there are no monthly order requirements?
To retain an active distributor account, you have to place one 50PV minimum order per year. If you miss that deadline, you can reactivate your account by calling Young Living Customer Care with a 100PV (point volume) order. Easy peasy.
If someone wants to join Young Living through me, what do I give them?
When you join, you will be assigned your own distributor number to give to your friends and family who are interested in joining as well.
Is there a way to save even more money?
Yes! The Essential Rewards program offers reduced shipping, credit for free oils & more! Plus each month there are great promotions for free oils when you place an Essential Rewards order. I love free stuff!
Note: If you join Young Living through me and you sign up for Essential Rewards, I will help you find lots of {FREE} resources that are available to you to learn more than you ever wanted to know about essential oils!
How do I take advantage of these offers?
Follow the directions below on how to join!
Here’s an easy step by step on how to join Young Living Essential Oils:
1. Click here to begin the enrollment process. It’s super easy!
2. Select Independent Distributor so you can get the wholesale discount. {If you select “Customer” you will not receive wholesale pricing, so be sure to click Independent Distributor!}
3. My member number is: 1460523. Type that in the Sponsor ID spot. Leave the Enroller ID spot blank.
4. Choose the kit you want. {I highly recommend the Premium Kit because it gets you the most bang for your buck! I got the basic plus starter kit {$75}. The premium starter kit comes with everything the basic starter kit does with a bunch of the most used oils too. The friend that I got started with recommended it but I had my own ideas, but now I’m kicking myself because I’ve ended up ordering all the oils individually and this would have been cheaper in the long run!}.
5. Regardless or which kit you order, you want to make sure you either get a diffuser in your kit or you order one. It is essential to have a ultrasonic diffuser. It doesn’t heat the oils – only distributes them in the water so you can inhale them. Heat destroys the oils. I will share more about which oils I diffuse, but there are many health benefits and it is a healthy way to cleanse the air and even scent your home without chemical fragrances that harm you.
