How I Came to Young Living
I have been an essential oil user since my daughter was born 5 years ago. When she was born, I really became interested in how essential oils could support our health and quality of life.
Specifically, I wanted to do everything I could to keep my perfect little baby from being exposed to toxic chemicals in our home!
I started by ordering what I believed to be high quality oils from Amazon.
I did enjoy using those oils. They smelled great, and I felt like I had a little hand in keeping our home healthy and natural. (But now I know that there was not really any way to know the quality of those oils and if they were pure and safe.)
Then I got the oil bug.
I wanted to know more. I kept hearing about these amazing results people were getting with oils and I wanted to know why I wasn’t noticing any.
I researched till I was blue in the face about what oil company to go with. As you may know, there are some pretty strong opinions out there about that. I was interested in the high quality, MLM type oil companies, but I told myself that I could save money by going with a cheaper company. Oils are oils I figured.
Finally I settled on an online company. They touted purity and good quality and the part that was most appealing to me was they were cheap. For someone who was scared to take the plunge, it seemed like a good compromise. Their oils sounded good, and I did enjoying using them, but I must say, I never really felt results like I wished to. I thought maybe it was in my head though. Oils really are just to smell great, right? I found myself thinking, would I have had a better result if I was using the best oils that are available? Are these really the purest of oils?
I had a friend who had started using Young Living, and she couldn’t stop talking about it! I debated for several more months. Yes, I am a slow mover sometimes. I smelled some of her oils, some of the same oils I had, but made by Young Living, and they smelled so different! So clean, and crisp. And very strong. I liked my oils, but I didn’t seem to feel as passionate about their many uses and results as my friend did. Hmmmm.
I must say that it all boiled down to the lavender oil for me. Young Living’s lavender oil smells different than any I’ve ever smelled before. I don’t know how to described it exactly except to just say better. I didn’t even like lavender! I always thought it stunk! But this was on another level!
All of a sudden, it was my favorite!
I finally decided that if I was really committed to toxic chemical free living and supporting my families health with oils, I needed to break out the big guns.
I signed up with Young Living and ordered a Premium Starter Kit and signed up for Essential Rewards.
After opening them and excitedly smelling each one and looking at all my goodies, I dove into using them.
I put a new oil or blend of oils into my new diffuser every day, relishing the awakening and refreshing scents, especially in the morning!
I inhaled and rubbed peppermint oil on my neck for an afternoon slump pick-me-up.
A couple of my favorites were the DiGize in the evening after a large meal, and Thieves applied to the bottom of our feet.
These oils were different. I could feel it.
Oh, and Stress Away smelled ah-mazing. I wore it like a perfume! (Still do!) It became my security blanket oil. Always a must have in my purse.
After being with this company for 4 years now, and experiencing many of their oils and products, I am more in love with Young Living than ever.
This company is truly committed to being the best of the best. They have what they call the Seed to Seal promise.
This “meticulous, five step approach allows us to deliver nature’s most potent and pure essential oils from our farms to your family.”
They promise that each step of the way, from choosing their seeds, to sealing the bottle and delivering it to your home, they are rigorously overseeing and hand-picking the very best of everything to ensure the best quality experience possible.
Since I’m signed up for Essential Rewards, I’ve gotten to try new products every month, stock our home with healthy and natural supplies and earn points for free oils and products!
After 4 years with Young Living, and on the Essential Rewards monthly wellness box program, I have been given such a gift.
Replacing many products in my home with one. Tossed out the toilet cleaner and the sprays that made me cough and my eyes hurt. Trashed the glass cleaner and the shower spray and the dusting spray and all of it! I have one cleaner now called Thieves Household Cleaner and I clean everything in my house with. My kids can help me and I don’t have to worry about it hurting them.
Reaching for my little bottles of liquid gold instead of reaching for something else. Supporting my immune system instead of taxing it.
These oils are something I share without even thinking about it. Friends ask me what is that smell? Do you have an oil for this?
I have seen that these oils can not only support and enhance people’s well being, but can be such an incredible catalyst for change in all aspects of life!
Nutritional changes.
Waking up to the ingredients list and being aware of what is in products and foods.
Treating your body better.
Researching information about your health and wellness yourself and taking your own families health into your own hands.
Swapping out toxic, nasty chemical laden cleaner for Thieves Household cleaner and non toxic solutions that don’t burden your body.
So many changes!
I have realized that so many people still truly don’t know about so many of these things.
We aren’t always taught these things.
Helping show other people that they can advocates for themselves and that their are options out there that are better than the standard, store bought, mainstream stuff everyone thinks they have to use and do.
