I Got My Kit..Now What?

Got my kit...now what?

You got your kit...now what?  We can all remember how exciting it was to get that beautiful box with all of those little oils, but how do we start using them?  Below I outline a few ways to get the ball rolling with using your oils.

Get Them Out of The Box


Yes the Premium Starter box is beautiful and even has a way to keep them on display...but you will never get into a great essential oil routine until you get them out of the box! Getting them out of the box allows you to have an oil at an arms reach when you need them.  Remember you have not used essential oils before, so why would you use them now unless it is very easy.  Seeing that bottle of lemon sitting by your sink will remind you to add a drop to your water...placing lavender on your nightstand will prompt you to apply to your big toe before bed...place your Stress Away in your bag and apply before work. You get the picture, the easier it is to grab the more likely you are to use them. 

What Were Your Health Goals?


When you decided to buy the Premium Starter kit what were your reasons? Did someone have a good testimony that really stuck with you? Did you here all the cool uses and felt that these little oils might be a good investment? Whatever the reason you bought the kit is what your focus should be now that you have the kit.  Sit down and write out your health goals and focus on that as your first oil goal.

Get Out Your Reference Guide 


How are you to use these oils and know what oil is good for this or that? Your Reference guides! If you don't have one, Google "Essential Oil Reference Guide" and a million will pop-up.  Look at the reviews or ask whoever signed you up to recommend a book for you to use. You can even research your health goals or specific oil on Pinterest.  YOU are in control and must take this step to becoming an oily ninja.  Once you know which oil or oils to use, start using them often. 

Safety 


This is an important part of using essential oils. I would never use any oil outside of Young Living, why? because I did my research and only stand behind Young Living's quality and commitment to the Seed to Seal promise.  Number one safety tip...when (not if) you get essential oils in your eye, use a carrier oil (olive, coconut, almond ect.) and rub it around the outside of your eye to relieve the burning.  Water will drive the oil deeper, a fatty oil with dilute the oil.  Do not put oils directly into your eyesor ears on purpose...and dilute if it happens.  Use glass or stainless steel to drink your citrus oils out of...these oils will breakdown the petrochemicals in the plastic and ruin your cups.  Dilute oils on children and pets, also use a vita flex chart for ease of use with little ones.  Start using your oils slowly, they will detox your body (yay!) but we don't want that to happen too fast. When applying any citrus oil topically avoid the direct sun on that part of your skin for 12-24 hours. 

Complimentary Products 


There are a million products on the market for using our essential oils and making it even easier. From travel bags, roller top bottles, containers, and capsules you can find many ways to incorporate essential oils into your life. 
Two products I think everyone should order from YoungLiving.com after they get a kit are the roller fitments and veggie capsules:

AromaGlide Roller Fitments 10 pk item number 4578

Get to a Class and Host a Class 


Going to classes is not only a great way to learn more but to make some great oily friends. I must be so dense because I learn something new at every single class I attend, which is awesome.  Some of the best people I have met have been through Young Living and hosting classes. It is so great to see people meeting their health goals and is the main reason I still host classes monthly.  Host a class...everyone should be sharing why they love Young Living essential oils, you do not have to be an expert to have a class, you can just share what you know or have your leader come and teach for you!

Wish List


With every Premium Starter Kit comes a Young Living catalog...open it and start making the products you think will benefit you!  There are dozens of wonderful products to help rid your life of toxins, maintain great health, and support every system in you body. When I opened the catalog I love that all the oil blends are labeled so you would know which one you need like "Common Sense" "Forgiveness" and "Joy".  I personally love the supplements and have made some break throughs in my health personally by getting in a good supplement habit.  

Cook With Your Oils 



There are so many ways to use essential oils in your life and my favorite is to add them to my drinks and food. The title is misleading because cooking is not my thing...but yummy tasting food is.  Essential oils should not expire for a very LONG time...making them great to use as seasoning! When I went through my seasoning cabinet I was shocked that most expired ten years ago...Gross. The best part of using essential oils for cooking is it only takes a drop in your already planned recipe and BAM the flavor is amazing! Thieves in your morning cup of coffee....Peppermint added to your favorite dessert...lemon added to your smoothie.  The list goes on and Young Living even has an awesome kit with a variety of oils for your kitchen..The Young Living Culinary Collection.

Time For Self-Care



Investing in yourself is one of the most important things you will ever do, yet so many people don’t.  Don't be one of the many people who are missing this essential step in living life to the fullest.
 I am going to outline a few ways to make taking care of yourself a priority.

Staying and Gaining Health:

Deep Breaths:

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:

Here is some science behind why deep breathing works wonders on our minds and bodies.  Research has shown that breathing exercises have immediate effects by altering the pH of the blood, or changing blood pressure. More importantly, breathing exercises can be used as a method to train the body's reaction to stressful situations.  Prevention of the ‘fight or flight’ reaction which releases stress hormone is as simple as a slow, deep breathing exercise.  These deep breathing exercises arouse the opposing parasympathetic reaction (the one that calms us down) and help to prevent the flood of stress hormones in our system, which can wreak havoc on our immune system.  Breathing is a powerful tool in not only stress relief but in how our body response to stressful situations in the first place.  Below is a video showing how to perform a breathing exercise:  

The best way to incorporate breathing exercises into your life is to start doing them at scheduled times throughout your day, this will only take a minute or two at a time.  Do this in the morning when you are making breakfast, in the car on your way to work, and then before bed.  Once you make it a habit you will see yourself using it in times of need.

Pass on Sugar

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:

I know…don’t kill the messenger, but let’s get real...we all need to make better choices and sugar consumption is a huge one for most.  The worst part about sugar is that it is in almost everything.  For those of you who have cut sugar out of your diet you know how crazy it is to see that sugar is in everything! The reason we want to cut this out is not because I’m a killjoy but sugar is a wellness killer on so many levels.  What does sugar do to our body and why does this have anything to do with self-care…here is a quick list from Dr. Mercola…check out his article here to read more: http://articles.mercola.com/sugar-side-effects.aspx
  • Places stress on the liver
  • Increases Bad Cholesterol and Triglycerides
  • Can contribute to weight gain, cravings, trouble sleeping
  • Generates an addictive sugar reaction in the brain
When we are feeling run down one of the most important things to do is look at our diet and see where we can improve.  One of the best ways to care for yourself is how you choose to fuel it.

Sleep:

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:

This is a big one, with so much to do no time to do it in most people are skimping on the sleep.  This might be the hardest (next to the sugar one) to get taken care of, but I will promise you that this is probably the most important one to tackle.  Ask yourself two questions 1) am I tried right now? 2) am I really productive after 9:00 pm?  If you answered yes to the first you are like the majority of Americans who list themselves as tired or fatigued the majority of the time.  Now if you answered yes to number two, then it’s time to better organize your day and get things done BEFORE 9:00 pm.  With that said, a tired brain is an unproductive and sloppy brain…we don’t function well on little sleep…and it is almost impossible to “catch-up” on sleep.  Set an alarm every night an hour before you normally go to bed…and start getting yourself ready for bed.  Turn off electronic devices, brush teeth, start your diffuser, and climb in bed.  Make a note each day of how you are feeling and schedule your bedtime according to how much sleep you are needing to make it through the day without being tired all the time. I get between 7-8 hours of sleep every night, and it makes a huge difference for my level of mental clarity and function.

Walk:

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:

Yes! Get up and get moving! Did you know that going for a 15 minute walk everyday can increase your cardio vascular health! Holy cow who doesn’t have the time for 15 minutes? Not only is this a great place to start with regards to physical activity but it is so good for our mental health as well.  Whether you walk alone or with a friend the act of moving, breathing, and focusing on your surroundings can elevate your mood almost instantly.

Support Your Immunity:

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:

We are no good to anyone when we are down-and-out yet often this is the only time we are supporting our immune system…not when we are feeling good.  It is so important to stay in the wellness zone and there are several ways to do this:
Sleep
Healthy food
Lots of water and sunshine (like a flower!)
Supplements and Essential Oils
Lower Stress 
It’s not good enough that we are conscious of these when we are down for the count…make an effort every day to support your health!

Emotional Well-being

Be Kind:

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:

This applies to yourself and others. Often we are good at being kind to others and we forget we need to be kind to ourselves too.  When you look in the mirror do you have nice things to say about yourself? Do you silently congratulate yourself for a job well-done?  Well if not then it’s time to start, be your biggest fan and advocate! Self-doubt is destructive and can build a life of its own.  We cannot truly begin to give to others when we are empty.  Find ways that build up your spirit and nurture your soul. Self-affirmations and Bible verses are ways that I instill self-worth and self-love.  Post affirmations in your planner or on a bathroom mirror so you are constantly reminded of your worth…be kind to yourself!

Stay Connected:

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:

Friends and family keep us going and help us feel loved and cherished (for the most part).  Make sure you are surrounding yourself with those that are building you up and not tearing your down.  It is so important for us to stay connected with those that we love and those who love us back!  One of the best ways to stay connected is to set time in your schedule every month to call a loved one. If you make this a priority you will see your relationships flourish.

Mental Health:

Read:

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:

Reading is so good for the brain and helps keep us educated, entertained, and engaged.  One of the hardest parts of going to school for me was not being able to fit in as much leisure reading opposed to required reading.  I was able to find my happy medium and you need to as well, obviously I am a big proponent of scheduling all priorities.  Get reading into your daily habits and see the difference it can make in your mental well-being.  

Journaling/Writing:

Best Essential Oils to Support This Step:


Why is the written word, especially in our own hand writing so profound? Writing out our goals, dreams, fears, and feelings can have a profound effect on how we move forward in life.  I am not a big fan myself of journaling, but I do a lot of writing in my planner.  It is so cool to write something down and it becomes a priority instantly, and for our mental health it’s a very freeing exercise.

Top Three Favorite Products



My favorite products from Young Living are always changing.  I think it mostly depends on what we have going on at the current moment. Right now we are all fighting a little cold. Luckily, because of our essential oils (and products!) our colds never seem to get too out of hand anymore. This short list will reflect greatly on our little family "illness."


Inner Defense

Young Living has so many great products, and so many that I have yet to try. I love to get recommendations from fellow EO user. Recently I was talking to my friend about a product called Inner Defense. This is a liquid soft gel that you take when you are not feeling top notch. Gone are the days of making your own "wellness blend" capsules and getting Oregano or Thieves all over your hands. This little capsule has been a huge time saver for me and works like a charm! I also love that they travel well too. My husband travels often, so it is nice to be able to send him with a handful of Inner Defense capsules in case he comes down with something on the road.


Raven Essential Oil Blend

Raven has always been one of my favorites, but when I get under the weather I remember just how much I love it. Whenever I get sick I always get sinus infections or I just get really congested, so when I started my oily journey I knew resolving needing to take antibiotics was high on my list. Raven saves me every time. Its a blend of Ravintsara (cinnamomum camphora), lemon (Citrus limon), wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens), peppermint (Mentha piperita) and Eucalyptus radiate. I love Raven because it wildly aromatic which opens up my sinuses nicely. I like to diffuse Raven, wear it on my diffuser necklace,  or just simply apply right to my nose and forehead. WARNING: Its intense. You probably want to add a carrier oil. 




Thieves Spray

Everyone loves Thieves Essential Oil, but did you know about the whole line of Thieves cleaning products? We are serious Thieves addicts at my home and use all the products. I love this little Thieves Spray because its so small and convenient you can really use it on anything. I have one in my purse, the diaper bag, the car, and in various locations throughout my home. When I am sick I use it as a throat spray. Its just a quick (and intense) way to get some good old thieves in my system. The clove is also soothing to my throat.




What are some of your favorites right now?

Winter Wellness-- Be Prepared!

This is the time of year that I start getting asked: "Which oils and products should I have on hand as we enter the winter months?" This answer can vary a ton person to person, and bear in mind that I have not had the pleasure of trying ALL the Young Living products. This list is just what I have tried, and happen to love. My personal list is mostly oils, with Ningxia Red and Thieves products mixed in.

Remember I am NOT a doctor and I am not attempting to diagnosis, prevent, or cure any illness or disease. Please consult a doctor.

Ningxia Red: Once you start drinking this its hard to stop. I personally got hooked while I was at the Young Living Convention. Ningxia Red is an antioxidant drink made with the wolfberry and infused with essential oils. The wolfberry is alone is packed with tons of vitamins, calcium, potassium, iron, zinc, selenium, riboflavin, and vitamin C. More on the benefits of the wolf berry here.

So what are the direct health benefits of Ningxia Red?

  • Supports whole-body health support
  • Energy support
  • Supports normal cellular function
  • Supports normal eye health
  • Healthy daily supplement
  • Helps prevent against oxidative stress

There are a few other variations of Ningxia Red as well: Ningxia Nitro & Ningxia Zyng, be sure to try them both too!


 RED










Thieves Essential Oil: Thieves! This one is the heavy hitter! Immune supporting! This is a one of a kind blend of Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, Lemon, and Rosemary Essential Oils that you can only get with Young Living. I like to make Thieves tea with lemon essential oil and honey. Its so soothing and really warms you up. This one can also be taken in a capsule, which is how I prefer to take it if my immune system needs a little boost.

There are SO many Thieves products offered by Young Living and they can all help this time of year in their own way. Check them all out here.


Oregano Essential Oil: Ok, people! This one is a must. VERY immune boosting and supporting. Pairs well with Thieves and Lemon to offer mega support. As you know we are super limited by what we can say on social media (thanks FDA!), so I am going to send you to articles and studies whenever I can. Here is a fantastic one about the health benefits of Oregano



RC Essential Oil Blend: R=respiratory C=congestion. I mean, do I need to say more? Diffuse this bad boy while you sleep or just whenever you are trying to...breathe. :) RC is a blend of: Eucalyptus Globulus, Eucalyptus Radiata, Eucalyptus Citriodora, Myrtle, Spruce, Peppermint, Pine, Lavender, Marjoram, and Cypress. 



Breathe Again Essential Oil Roll On: Another one that speaks for itself. However, this one only comes in a roll on, which I actually love! Its so easy and ridiculously convenient. Roll it on to enhance your respiratory health!!! Breathe Again is a blend of: Eucalyptus staigeriana leaf oil, Eucalyptus globulus leaf oil, Laurus nobilis oil, Rosa rubiginosa (Rose hip) seed oil, Peppermint oil, Eucalyptus radiata leaf oil, Balsam copaiba resin, Blue cypress wood oil, Eucalyptus bicostata leaf oil, and Myrtle oil. Thats four different kinds of Eucalyptus! 



Lemon: Lemon is labeled as dietary, so you can ingest it. Adding it to water will enhance the flavor, but there are many health benefits from drinking water that includes lemon essential oil. Learn more about them here


DiGize: Ever have issues with normal digestion? Yea, you and everyone else on the planet. This one will help you with that. This oil is a blend of: Tarragon leaf oil, Ginger root oil, Peppermint leaf oil, Juniper oil, Fennel seed oil, Lemongrass leaf oil, Anise oil, and Patchouli leaf oil.



Raven: This is one of my top 5 favorite oils. Raven provides me with comfort when I apply it to my nose, forehead, and checks. It supports healthy sinuses when applied topically. Raven is a blend of the VERY aromatic oils: Ravensara, lemon, wintergreen, peppermint, and Eucalyptus radiata.





Purification: Having this oil is key  if you want to clean the air after illness or having a stinky house guest. Seriously, it is borderline magical. Diffusing Purification can get even the most unpleasant odors to disappear, not just cover them up. The oils in this blend are: Citronella, Lemongrass, Lavandin, Rosemary, Tea Tree, and Myrtle. 

Product Tips from the Young Living Website: 
  • Add Purification essential oil blend to your washing machine to freshen laundry.
  • Add a couple drops of Purification essential oil blend to shoes to help neutralize odors.
  • Add a few drops of Purification essential oil blend to a cotton ball to help eliminate stale air in the office or your child’s room.
  • Diffuse Purification essential oil blend to dispel unpleasant odors and clear the air of impurities.
  • Diffuse Purification essential oil blend to eliminate odors after the dog returns from playing outdoors in the rain.



That's my personal list! I know that there are A LOT of other products that are helpful for winter wellness, but just too many to talk about today. The supplements alone are fantastic for promoting and maintaining an overall healthy lifestyle, but thats another blog! The "other" Christina is the expert in the supplement department, so stay tuned for a blog on all their amazing benefits. But, in the mean time check out more about Young Living Supplements here

Happy winter wellness! Please tell us some of your success stories (compliantly) in the comments!

5 Ways to Promote Your Young Living Business


5 Ways to Promote Your Young Living Business

I am not someone who is very open, telling anyone who will listen that I am a Young Living distributor was not my style, and sadly one of my downfalls.  Have you ever seen the quote "Magic happens outside of your comfort zone"? well I think that is very true.  I have spent the majority of my first year as a business builder for Young Living in my comfort zone.  I am not discrediting my efforts, I introduced many people to Young Living who are happily supporting their wellness goals. I am however stating that when you do push outside your comfort zone things will change and grow, remember "doing the same thing over and over will yield the same results".  I am going to outline ways to promote your business in (and out) of your comfort zone.

Promote Through Use:



Simple and effective. This is a no brainier and the first thing I was introduced to as a budding Young Living business builder "share the product, be a product of the product".  One of the biggest draws to this model was that we are not selling but sharing.  I don't want to harass my friends to buy a product, but sharing what works for me is like any other product I love and talk about. Using the product, in front of people, is also a great way to get everyone asking questions.  You may get people asking what you are rolling on your neck or dropping in your water.  Share your products, Young Living is generous and provides samples in the premium starter kit, use these to share with friends.

Promote Through Follow Up:

By far one of the most important parts of building your business, and possibly the most intimidating. Follow-up is the part that felt like a sales pitch for me, but in all reality this is what people are waiting for. I have had more success when I make a point to "loop back" as Christina H. puts it.  I was not a fan of the whole "care call" idea, all I kept thinking was "call it what it is..a cold call!" but after little to no success with Facebook messages, emails, or texts I decided to take the plunge.  Guess what happened..an awesome month and people wanted to hear from me...I was a little surprised but it was a good experience. This is one great way to promote your business and feel out how others in your group are using the products.

Promote Through Social Media:

The easy way to let people know what your business is all about, social media.  We are on these websites everyday (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter ect.) and it can be as simple as snapping a picture and sharing.  I gravitate toward a pretty picture, and love when a helpful hint is also thrown in!  I would be careful to not over promote...you don't want people to be sick of your business without even giving it a shot.  Share genuinely and with variety.  I like to use social media to also network with others in the field and connect with my group!

Promote In The Community:



There are several ways to do this and many have found great success in sharing this way.  Vendor events, fairs, and free public class offerings are a few ways to share in a community.  Vendor events and fairs will often cost but can be a great was to promote your business, keep in mind that many people go to the events for cash and carry items...so team up with someone else who does sell a related product (diffuser necklaces, bath products ect.) so your booth will have a draw. You can also teaching classes for the local park and recreation centers, at the library, and even local events.  This can be a great way of promoting to additional people in the community.  I have also seen people set up at local farmers markets and craft fairs.  The community is full of people, get out there and share!

Promote In Your Circle:

I work a full-time job, go to school, a Girl Scout leader, and attend church, and have a child in elementary school...I run in several circles, as do most people. Promoting in your circle can be a fun and easy way to promote your business.  The part that holds a lot of us back from openly sharing is rejection...and worse from those who know us.  I can tell you that 9 times out of 10 your circle will be supportive and more then that will want to join you on your journey.  Simply ask them to come and learn at your next class or ask them to allow you to practice on them.  Getting over our own fears is the important part to making strides toward our goals.  Almost everyone I work with uses and loves Young Living, I didn't sell them, I shared and used the product.

In order to promote any business know what your goals are (short and long), have a defined "why", and write down your steps to making success happen.  We all can be successful in this amazing gift of a business model, but we need to take responsibility for how to get ourselves there.

Supporting Wellness with Young Living


Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life.
"...a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." - The World Health Organization.
"a conscious, self-directed and evolving process of achieving full potential." - The National Wellness Institute

Wellness is defined by actions and choices every day that support our overall health!


One reason I use Young Living is for the large number of products to help actively support my overall wellness regimen.  Listed below are a few ways to use the Young Living products to incorporate into your wellness routine.

First Let’s Talk About Essential Oils:

Essential oils support our bodies normal and healthy functioning.  Essential oils have been used for wellness for thousands of years.  It is important to remember that essential oils may be popular now, but they are not new.  Essential oils are the purest form of an herb and crazy concentrated!  Essential oils aid in the body’s natural detoxification process, absorb easily into the body, and oxygenate the cells.

Here are a few (not the only) ways to incorporate Young Living Essential oils in your daily wellness routine.





  • Citrus essential oils in your water
  • Peppermint in your tea or coffee
  • Cedarwood apply behind your ears before bed
  • Lavender diffuse for soothing environment
  • Add a few drops of Thieves to a vegetable capsules 

There are many uses for essential oils, if you are curious how to use check your bottle!


This amazing product is Young Livings Antioxidant essential oil wellness support drink
According to Young Living:

Balanced ingredients make NingXia Red a whole-body nutrient infusion for health and wellness support. Enjoy NingXia Red daily to energize, fortify, and revitalize the body and support overall health and wellness, from head to toe.
This tastes amazing and you only need two ounces a day! For the best deal get your booty on Essential Rewards and purchase NingXia Red in the Essential Rewards bundle!



This was one of my happy dance moments when I realized Young Living had a vast selection of supplements. I am going to list my daily supplements and a few others to check out!  


  • Super B- B vitamins to increase energy levels and promote nervous and cardiovascular systems. I take this midday for needed boost in energy.

  • Super C-promote immune and circulatory function, tastes good and part of the daily routine.
  • Thyromin-promotes healthy thyroid function and has made one of the biggest impacts in my wellness.
  • Life 5-high-potency probiotic that builds and restores intestinal health with five clinically proven probiotic strains. Gut health is very important to overall health.
  • Inner Defense-reinforce systemic defenses, promote healthy respiratory function, and are rich in immune-supporting ingredients. I keep several bottles on hand, these are awesome!


Others to check out:

  • SleepEssence- Young Living Therapeutic Grade essential oils with unique sleep-enhancing properties that enable restful sleep
  • CortiStop- a proprietary dietary supplement designed to help the female body balance its cortisol levels to maintain its natural balance and harmony
  •  Mineral Essence- supports a healthy immune system with a balanced ionic mineral complex enhanced with rejuvenating essential oils

*These are not all of the supplements offered by Young Living…so go check them all out!


Liquid Wellness:

  • Balance Complete-Powerful nutritive energizer and a cleanser. High in fiber, protein, and minerals for a nutritionally dynamic meal. I will use this for a quick lunch at work, it tastes great.
  • Power Meal- Meal replacement, rich in calcium and antioxidants, and each serving contains 20 grams of protein
  • Pure Protein Complete (Chocolate and Vanilla)- a comprehensive protein supplement that combines a proprietary 5-Protein Blend, amino acids, and ancient peat and apple extract to deliver 25 grams of protein per serving
  • Slique Tea- Natural ingredients support healthy individual weight goals and maintain healthy body function.

Beauty Upgrade:


  • Rose Ointment-blends natural oils to nourish and aid the protection of dry, cracked skin.
  • Sheerlumé Brightening Cream—an advanced formula powered by a proprietary blend of Young Living’s pure essential oils. I love this cream feels great on the skin!
  • Orange Blossom facial wash- gentle, non-abrasive cleanser that removes dirt and makeup without removing your skin's natural protective oils
  • Satin Facial Scrub Mint- supports the skin's natural pH balance with gentle ingredients that exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin for a fresher, smoother appearance
  • ART® Skin Care System- safely and effectively cleanses, tones, and moisturizes your face to bring out your natural and inherent beauty


  • Thieves Laundry Soap
  • Thieves Dish Soap
  • Thieves Fruit and Veggie Soak
  • Thieves Household cleaner
  • Thieves Wipes

The whole line of Thieves cleaners not only smell amazing, clean wonderfully but are not full of harmful chemicals like most cleaners on the market. I have used all other natural products and honestly just assumed that they were not meant to clean that well.  I was truly amazed at how well the Thieves Household cleaner worked, and on everything!!



Get on Essential Rewards, and start replacing some of those products in your life that are not supporting wellness and replace them with ones that will!
