I am going to give you three tips to ensure you can swing this awesome deal this month...because it is too good to pass up! 

Share Your Discount:

This is such an easy way to get to the $300.00 pv. So many people are hearing about essential oils and are wanting to know more, but may not be ready to take the plunge with a kit.  Offer your discount and let them try Young Livings wonderful Thieves products or a bottle of Lavender essential oil.  Ask your friends, family and co-workers. Not only will this help you get to the PV amount to take advantage of the promotion but you are also sharing which brings me to the next tip. 

Get Enrolling:

If you have been sharing with friends most likely a few of them would like to start using essential oils also.  The enrollment kits are such a great value and when you spend $100 pv for the month the commission on the enrollment kit for you is $50.00.  How cool is that!? You want the promotion, your buddies want a way to promote wellness in their life...it's a win/win! The best way to get enrollments up  is to share your kit and experiences with others.  We often forget about the power of asking and can miss out on someone who is interested because we assume they will come to us.  make a list of ten people you would like to share with and start setting up those classes and coffee dates.

Replacement Buying:

This one is so easy and also a great way to eliminate toxins from your home.  Young Living has a plethora of products that you can be switching out your chemical laden products with.  Here are a few that I have started to order religiously and honestly love them more then the products I used before
Obviously I didn't include the vast amount of supplements and other healthy snacking options available, which can also replace other items you are currently buying.  Put your money into wellness and make it a priority, you will not regret it! 

Here is also another great way to really maximize this amazing promo:




Lets all take advantage of this amazing promotion and get the biggest bang for our buck by also being enrolled in Essential Rewards!

I love black pepper essential oil for it's many benefits but in this yummy hummus recipe you will discover another way to use this versatile oil.


Black Pepper Hummus:

You Will Need
  • One 15-ounce can chickpeas, also called garbanzo beans
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, about 1 large lemon
  • 1/4 cup  tahini
  •  Half of a large garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon kosher salt, depending on taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Pepper
  • One drop Black Pepper essential oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons water
  • Dash of ground paprika for serving
Directions:

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine tahini and lemon juice. Process for 1 minute. 
  2. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin and the salt to the whipped tahini and lemon juice mixture. Process for 30 seconds, scrape sides and bottom of bowl then process another 30 seconds.
