The Cross Line Christinas: yleo

If you're like me you started out with Young Living as sort of a skeptic. I thought-- I will get the Premium Starter Kit because it's a small investment and a good deal. If the oils don't do all the things that I hoped, I can at least use the diffuser as a glorified air freshener. Boy, was I wrong to be doubtful! Young Living not only has amazing oils and products, but they have a very generous rewards program.

When I signed up I was asked if I wanted to join Essential Rewards. She said if I thought I would be ordering more than 50 PV (point value or $50) a month regularly I should sign up for their auto ship rewards program. At the time I thought no way! That's a lot of money to commit to every month.

Once I got my oils and started using them I immediately regretted not signing up for Essential Rewards immediately. Think of all those lost points! :)

Let me break down what exactly Essential Rewards is and how it works since Young Living has recently changed the program and we are now earning even MORE back plus loyalty gifts as well. :)

Essential Rewards (ER) is Young Living's Monthly

Auto Ship Rewards Programs:

Fill your cart with the items you want and change it whenever you want until your order processes on the day (at midnight) of your choosing every month.

Reduced shipping and change your shipping day monthly if you like.

Access to discounted Essential Rewards Kits: Thieves, NingXia Red, & ART Skincare

Earn Points towards FREE Products (use points earned like cash later!)

1-3 months - earn 10% of your point value back
4-24 months - earn 20% of your point value back
25+ months- earn 25% of your point value back

Loyalty Gifts at 3, 6, 9, and a special Loyalty blend at 12 months! See the graphic below for details!

It's important to mention that each item has a point value that is usually equal to it's cost. For instance if an item is $115 it's point value will likely be 115. Look for the PV column next to the cost column. Some non oil items are not equal to the cost, so always double check!

Each month if you hit 190PV, 250PV, or 300PV you earn FREE loot! Here is the September 2016 promo as an example. The items will be added automatically to your order if you hit these point values.

Now, how do you sign up?

1. You can sign up for the Essential Rewards program immediately when you sign up as a Wholesale Member with Young Living.

2. You can sign up later after you've become a Wholesale Member either by calling customer care (1.800.371.3515) or signing in to your Young Living Account and clicking on Essential Rewards in the right hand column.

3. If you signed up as a retail customer and would like to take advantage of all the perks and privileges of becoming a Wholesale Member and enroll in the Essential Rewards Program you can call customer care and they will help you switch your retail account to a wholesale one. (1.800.371.3515)

I hope that you take advantage of all the perks that come with being a Wholesale Member and an Essential Rewards participant. Who doesn't like free stuff and rewards programs these days?

Guest Blog by Jessica Phelps:

Hi everyone! My name is Jessica and I have been using oils for almost two years now. I use essential oils everyday for almost anything you can think of. I recently started using some new products from Young Living called Slique. What is Slique? It is a line of products Young Living carries to help with weight management. I have just finished my first week using the Slique Shake and Slique Essence essential oil. Below is my take on the Slique products I have tried so far.

https://www.youngliving.com/en_US/products/slique-shake-15pk

Slique Shake is a naturally flavored, complete meal replacement shake. It comes in just one flavor, Berry Breeze. It comes in 15 individual pre measure packets. I really like that it comes in their own individual packets, that way you can throw one in your purse on busy days. I have used so many meal replacement shakes and this one is by far my favorite! The chalky taste/texture you get with a lot of shake mixes is not there with Slique. I didn't get creative when it came to preparing my shakes. So far I have mixed it with fat free milk and orange juice (delicious!). You can add oils, fruit, or even veggies in the shake for added flavor and health benefits. The flavor with just milk or orange juice is great and very helpful since I usually prepare it at work where I don't have access to a blender.

For the last week I have been drinking one shake for lunch with a light healthy snack. I have been eating a small breakfast and cut back to one cup of coffee. To be completely honest dinner has been hit or miss on being healthy (I am getting better). As of now I haven't added much exercise besides some walks with the kids a few times a week. I have not weighed myself since I started Slique, but I can feel a difference already. I have been having issues with bloating and trouble fitting into my pants. After this last week I can visibly see my belly has thinned out and my pants are starting to fit better. The feeling of being bloated went away after a few days. Overall, I feel way more healthy this last week than I have in a long time. I am sure I have lost weight and especially inches around my waist!

The other product I used along side the replacement shake is the Slique Essence an essential oil blend. It comes in a 15ml bottle which is awesome because this is a product you can inhale or drink on a daily basis. The ingredients in Slique Essence are tangerine, grapefruit, spearmint, stevia extract, lemon, and ocotea. The spearmint taste is strong, so if you don't like that you may want to add some other citrus oils. I thought it tasted really good and worked like a detox the first few days. The sweet spearmint taste really helped with my sugar cravings and I noticed I didn't snack as much as I normally do. Both these products along side each other are a great combo and I am really excited to try the other Slique products.

There are so many Slique products offered by Young Living, so also have collections of their Slique products to make it easy to figure out what works well together and how you can use them together to reach your weight loss goals. Below are some of the other Slique products offered by Young Living.
