6 Fall Health Essentials

Adding these 6 fall health essentials will change your life.

We keep these in our home because they work.

Really well.

You can get them here (don’t forget to read here about Subscribe and Save first).

Keep reading below for recipes and easy ways to use each.

Tangerine

Tangerine’s high limonene content makes it a great immune support.

It helps keep an uplifted mood, which is nice as the days become shorter.

Ways to use it:

Diffuse (6 drops Tangerine, 4 drops Lemon, 1 drop Vanilla essential oils)
Put in capsule and take 3 times/day
Add it to your water
Create a sleep support roller (20 drops Patchouli, 15 drops Tangerine, and 10 drops Ylang Ylang)
Support a healthy weight with a drop of each oil in a capsule: Black Pepper, Citrus Fresh, Cinnamon Bark, EndoFlex, Lemon, Lime, Nutmeg, Orange, Peppermint, Spearmint, and Tangerine)
Create a manly mix for your diffuser (2 drops Tangerine, 1 drop Cinnamon Bark, and 1 drop Vetiver)

AminoWise

This is a great workout booster because it supports our muscles so well.

Our family uses it both for this as well as for when we’re under the weather.

It helps restore minerals lost when sick, so we add it to water and lemon as we fight anything icky.

I also love this for when I feel a headache coming on!

NingXia Red

I could go on and on about my favorite supplement, NingXia Red.

If you’d like to read more, read this article: NingXia Red: Antiaging Superfruit.

Clove

According to Life Science Publishing, Clove was, “reputed to be part of the Marseilles Vinegar AKA Four Thieves Vinegar that bandits who robbed the dead and dying used to protect themselves during the 15th century plague.”

How to Use Clove Essential Oil:

Keep bees at bay: 20 drops Clove, 10 drops Tea Tree, and 10 drops Citronella in a 15mL roller bottle + carrier of choice
Layer with the following oils (one drop each) when detoxing: Lemongrass, Helichrysum, Clove, and Patchouli. Rub in this order for 30 seconds each on the bottom of your feet and over the liver and kidney areas. Add 4 drops carrier oil.
Diffuse this “Pumpkin Pie” recipe: 3 drops Orange, 2 drops Cinnamon Bark, 2 drops Clove, 2 drops Nutmeg, and 1 drop Ginger
Support your respiratory system with this roller bottle: 20 drops Frankincense, 10 drops Ravinstara, 8 drops Clove, 6 drops Myrrh, and 3 drops Sage in a 15mL bottle with your choice carrier.

NingXia Nitro

Love me some NingXia Nitro!

Here’s what one little shot of it will do (Lifescience Publishing):

increase cognitive alertness
enhance mental fitness
promote energy
support overall performance
speeds up physical recovery
increases overall energy reserves
avoids typical caffeine crash

ImmuPower

According to Life Science Publishing, this oil blend, “Strengthens immunity and DNA repair in the cells.”

How to Use this powerful blend:

1 drop oil with 4 drops carrier applied around navel, chest, temples, wrists and on bottoms of feet.
Use with Raindrop Technique

This has a pretty strong smell, so if you’re using it in your prevention routine, I’d suggest bottoms of feet.

Your Wellness Routine

Do you think about wellness or illness?

Are you waiting to get sick and then take care of yourself?

Are eating well and exercising the only ways you prevent illness and promote wellness?

Have you created a wellness routine?

Practice Makes Healthy Homes

Make adding new wellness practices simple.

Add something new each month and pair it with what you’re already used to doing each day.

For example, I always get dressed for the day.

It makes sense that my wellness roller goes in my closet where I’ll remember to apply to my feet.

I have breakfast each morning.

Near the kitchen sink, I keep my morning wellness oils and vegetable capsules.

I open the curtains around the house each morning.

I take water infused with the oils of the day around with me, so I can fill my 12 hour diffuser as I open the house.

See?

Easier when you think about keeping it simple, isn’t it?

Have a happy and healthy fall!

5 Easy Steps to Working the New Young Living Website

How to Work the New Young Living Website

Struggling with how to work the new Young Living website? Need pictures to help?

Look no further!

I have really fallen for our new site and found it much easier to navigate once I got the hang of it!

1. Unlock Your 24% Discount

Simply put one or more items on Subscribe and Save, and boom!

You now get 24% off all Young Living’s over 600 lifestyle products and essential oils!

You can decide if you want these to come to you every 1, 2, or 3 months.

My top 5 favorites to keep on Subscription:

Thieves Essential Oil Blend (think: strong immune system in a bottle)
Thieves Whitening Toothpaste
CitriGuard Deodorant
Progessence Plus (hormone balancing favorite–serious game changer, ladies!)
Lavender essential oil (when in doubt, lavender it out!)

Set yours up here: Subscribe & Save

How to Work the New Young Living Website — Photo credit: Life Steps App

2. Get the Most Out of Your Subscription

Our family always keeps at least 50PV in our Subscribe and Save.

Why?

Because we get a percentage (we’re up to 25%!) back in Loyalty Rewards points we use like cash to get other oily products for FREE!

*Random orders of 50PV won’t get you points; only if it’s on Subscribe and Save.

*If you skip a month of ordering 50PV, you’ll lose the points you have and the percentage will drop back to 10%.

*You can change your subscription items each month.

3. Redeem Those Rewards!

Once your order ships, you’ll be able to see how many Loyalty Rewards points you have for the month.

*Whatever you order must fall at or under the PV amount you have in points.

My top 5 favorites to Get with Rewards points (AKA Free!):

Savvy Minerals makeup
Over-the-Counters like Acne Treatment and Bug Spray
More expensive oils like Frankincense
Oils I’ve never tried before
Smelly good oils (fall faves, unique blends, etc)

Here’s how to redeem your points:

4. Keep Up With Your Health

I love Subscribe and Save for more than just the free stuff (like 100PV’s free shipping).

Our family’s health has greatly benefited from me keeping up with this for the last five years.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, right?

That applies when it comes to thinking about health.

I can’t ever think of a time I ever thought about our wellness before Young Living.

Oh, I thought about illness all the time.

But health?

Nope.

Now with each month’s subscription on the day of my choosing, I’ve got my phone’s alarm ready to remind me to get my order in the day before.

What’s this mean?

That every single month I assess our family’s wellness instead of waiting on our family’s illness.

It’s been the best!

5. Share the Wealth!

How are you going to have access to a truly healthy lifestyle and not tell everyone you know?

Can you imagine having an endless supply of 24% coupons for your favorite store but not giving them to everyone you love?

Or can you fathom having a bonus coupon for up to 25% back for free stuff in that store and not giving them that, too?!

Exactly!

Oh, and guess what?

You’ll see a balance of money when you login that you can use to help pay for your Subscribe and Save boxes each month!

Here’s how to give Young Living to anyone:

5 Ways Young Living is a Less Expensive Lifestyle

There are 5 amazing ways that Young Living is a far less expensive lifestyle than the one you’ve been passed down from generations before.

1. Concentrated

First and foremost, it’s important that you understand the huge difference between YL and any other oil/lifestyle company. Read more about that here.

Now that you know why it can only be Young Living, here’s how it also benefits your wallet.

Most every single product is highly concentrated.

Just take a look at some comparisons:

2. No More Over-the-Counters

The toxicity of the fake, wannabe OTCs not only cost a ton more than Young Living.

They don’t even hold a candle to YL’s strength and effectiveness!

Comparison shop here:

These are five ways Young Living is a less expensive lifestyle than the toxic life the stores and other "safe" products offer.

3. Ditching Co-Pays + Prescriptions

Once we snagged our Essential Oils Reference Guide Desk Reference and applied its knowledge to our toxin-free life, things changed rapidly.

Where we had co-pays that were followed by prescriptions (costing even more while harming our bodies), we no longer need that route.

Are we thankful we can pop in and get a checkup? Sure!

Will we run into the hospital for a sling or cast if our kid breaks his arm? Obvioiusly.

But we’re no longer bound by the “must find out what my kid has” mentality.

We take care of things with our oily arsenal.

They’re gone faster.

They show up less.

We just feel…better.

How has this been the less expensive lifestyle all along?

Why didn’t someone tell us?

4. 25% Back + Free Shipping + Promos

This loyalty program of ours; she’s a keeper.

Can you imagine a rewards card at any store where you get $25 back on a $100 order?

Then at that $100 order getting free shipping?

And then knowing if you liked the group of free items that you could bump up your order to hit promo levels with things you need anyway?

Check out some basics on how our family saves so much on this less expensive lifestyle each year since we stopped going to the grocery and opted for the monthly Essential Rewards program with Young Living.

5. Referral Link

If you have a wholesale account with Young Living, you automatically get a referral link.

The same way I can refer someone to my apartment building and get cash or a discount on next month’s rent, I can give my link to someone wanting this lifestyle.

The only break in the link between the apartment analogy and YL is that with Young Living, I then get a kickback every time that person orders whereas I only benefit once from my apartment referral.

Read here how to get the most out of our referral program whether you’d like to earn casually or consistently.

By the Numbers

We added up how much we spent the first year we only bought Young Living.

Then we added how much we spent the year before with doc co-pays, running to the pharmacy, over-the-counters, and buying everything else we get from YL at the store.

How much did we save?

Over TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.

It’s $2,000 less to live a life that won’t harm my organs, immune system, or hormones?

OKAY!

*I did not count in any of the money I made from sharing the referral link. Simply comparing orders from YL with life before it.*

The Bandaid Effect

The bandaid effect is the opposite of healthy living.

Your kid falls down, but there’s no scrape or bump or bruise in sight.

They insist they need a bandaid.

It’ll make them feel better. They just know it, Mama.

So you hand them their favorite character bandaid, kiss their boo boo, and magically they’re off running full speed.

We do this as adults, too.

Don’t believe me?

Take a look.

Everyday “Bandaids”

Ever find it frustrating that those cough drops and syrups don’t actually make your cough go away?

That your muscle cream doesn’t fix the strain?

When your sensitive toothpaste doesn’t stop the pain when you drink a cold glass of water?

That’s because the world around us is all marketing us toward the bandaid effect.

A fascade.

A temporary fix.

This post explains what the bandaid effect is, how it affects healthy living, and what you can do instead for your overall wellness.

Root Causes

Raise your hand if you’ve asked a doctor what caused your illness just to hear they don’t know or there’s no known root cause.

We’ve been taught for generations to treat symptoms.

We now white knuckle this idea to the point of not knowing what else to do.

Most every time someone reaches out to me about an essential oil, they’re really asking for the bandaid effect.

“Can you recommend an oil for sleep? For acne? For reflux?”

Why are you facing these issues?

Stress? Trauma? Gut issues?

I’m definitely not a doctor, so where do we go from there?

Responsible for Self

We’ve (unfairly) pushed the responsibility of our health onto our doctors, then we’re frustrated when all they can give us bandaids.

It’s time to step up our responsibility and do the hard work.

What does it take to advocate for your health?

You’ve got to get a few of your ducks in a row.

1. Your Lifestyle Products

You can read more about it here, but everything on the shelves that’s made to look safe and healthy is greenwashed. This is a fancy word for “lie.”

They are hormone, immune, organ, and overall body-destroying. The cleaners, washes, makeup, lotions–you name it– are all a marketing scheme.

They sell you a lotion with chemicals that dry your skin. Guess what you need more of?

And those chemicals? It’s perfectly legal even though they’re harmful to your body.

So, we switched to Young Living.

Read here to find out why, after 9 months of research, our family can only land on YL and no one else.

2. Your Food

Pesticides are a bigger problem than we realize.

They’re taking the nutrition right out of the food we need to survive.

I agree that organic (or even better biodynamic) foods are more expensive, and that can make things difficult.

Esepcially on a tight budget.

But here’s the great news.

Young Living as a lifestyle is about $2,000 less expensive per year than traditional in-store shopping (read all about that here).

Looks like your organics budget just blew wide open, friend.

3. Digging Up Roots

You know how your body feels.

And you know its history best.

Find a doctor who’ll dig in alongside you and supplement instead of medicate you. You’ll be blown away by how much progress you’ll find.

It took far too long for me to find my doctor. Actually, my friend found him, and now I tell everyone about it!

Check out our doc’s mission statement:

Our mission is to restore optimum function to the body in order to help our patients experience life to its fullest. By removing stressors to the nervous system through chiropractic adjustments, nutrition supplementation, and neurofeedback, we aim to release the innate ability of the body to self-heal and thrive.

To put this into perspective, I fought cystic acne with meds and then finally with my own natural route (applying oils topically) for 17 years in total.

After changing up the type of doctor I saw, I’m almost completely clear-skinned only 8 months later.

And we did it all with zero drugs.

You Can Do This!

After hearing a woman in one of my oil classes say she’d have to ask her doctor if she could look into possible root problems, I knew I’d need to write this.

This is your body.

No one else’s.

You can live well because your body was fearfully and wonderfully made to be healthy!

Get Started with this New Healthy Lifestyle!

Your next step toward escaping the bandaid effect is right here.

It’ll walk you through each step and show you all of your options.

However, if you’re in need of some one-on-one conversation to help you through or to get some questions answered, email me any time!

I love to hear from my readers. to help your families live and feel like we do is a blessing.

I hope to talk with you soon!

A Day in the Life of an Oily Family

How I wish I’d been taught to be an oily family when I was making my home from the start!

Now that I’ve got it, I love to share it with others.

In this article, I’m going to share with you what it’s really like to live this lifestyle.

Come on in!

Welcome to our home!

Wake Up!

Good morning!

To flush our bodies of toxins we’ll encounter out in the world, we use Lemon oil.

Lemon essential oil from Young Living doesn’t have the acidic wear and tear on your teeth that the flesh of a lemon would.

I don’t know about you, but we just don’t drink enough water if we aren’t super intentional about it.

So, we fill up our water bottles first thing (we’ve been loving these bottles!) and put a drop or two of Lemon oil in there to help boost our immune system and help us drink more water.

In the Kitchen

We start our morning in the kitchen cleaning up after breakfast.

What I love about Thieves Dish Soap is how concentrated it is. We get lots of bottles from one!

It also knocks out grease like an old pro.

With two boys and a dog, killing germs and cleaning dirty hands is important.

Being able to split this one soap into four is even better.

I just grabbed these foaming hand soap bottles from Amazon, poured a fourth of the concentrate in, and filled the rest with water.

Want to guess how many cleaners we had in our house before Young Living?

After clearing out the old and replacing the new I later found 14 bottles in the basement, so…

No telling what we were doing with all those cleaners!

Thieves Household Cleaner one does it all.

*NOTE: This is highly concentrated. There are 29 bottles of cleaner in one.

You can read more about it in 50 Top Ways to Use Thieves Household Cleaner.

Ever wonder what using Young Living really looks like? What an oily family really does with all those oils? Here's your chance!

Diffusers

We need the house to smell nice, these homeschooled little nuggets need to focus, and mama needs some chill.

So, we diffuse…all day long!

We had lots to choose from, but Desert Mist is my fave because it’ll diffuse 12 hours.

I’ll put Purification blend in the boys rooms because boys stink and Purification fixes that.

I’ll add something cozy in my room like Orange and Idaho Grand Fir to boost immunity and purify the air, and then some GeneYus from the KidScents line in the homeschool room for the boys.

Isn’t the Desert Mist so pretty?!

Shower/Get Ready

Here’s a quick rundown of what we’ve got going on in the bathrooms fully transferred over to Young Living.

Zero synthetics. No pesticides. Absolutely no filler or fragrance!

How’s that for hormonal strength?!

This is for Mama, Daddy, and boys:

Deodorant
Bath/Shower Gel
Oral Care
Makeup & Remover
Shaving Oil
Haircare
Beard oil
Perfume
Hormone support
Skincare
Anti-aging
Maximum Strength Acne Treatment

It’s crazy to think about all of these in the toxic form that looked so harmless before going into our bloodstream.

It’s such a relief to know everything we’re using is truly safe.

Supplements

The drug mindset is to use a specific medicine or whatever it is forever (i.e. if I take a vitamin C tablet today, I’m locked in for life).

We’ve adopted the supplement mindset with Young Living.

We take what we need when our bodies need it, and don’t stress when we don’t.

That’s why we use our Subscribe and Save orders to add to our arsenal of health; now it’s there when we need it.

How do I know when to take them?

It tells me on the side of the bottle.

As I’m writing this it’s during the pandemic and it’s winter.

So we’re using Super Vitamin D and other immune boosters from Young Living right now!

Laundry

I’ve long given up on being on top of laundry, but I do feel great about what I use on our clothes!

First of all, Thieves Laundry Detergent dilutes out like crazy, which you can read about here.

That saves us lots each month!

Then, we use this laundry freshener or these safe fabric softeners to make life easy.

It’s crazy how our air quality changed when we got rid of old detergents and softeners!

Heading Out with the Family

I’ll pack Young Living Einkhorn granola, water bottles, Young Living sunscreen, Young Living bug spray, and Young Living after sun to make sure we’re ready to go.

Of course we’ve always got those must-haves with kids, like this first aid spray, Owie blend, and lots of bandaids because…kids.

This is just a small sampling of the over-the-counters Young Living provides to make our life easier.

We also really rely on the Full Spectrum CBD!

Dinner, Unwinding, and Bedtime

We’ve got our lineup of Vitality oils (those we can ingest) for cooking.

To unwind, the boys’ rooms will get their diffusers refilled with their nighttime oils.

What’s really cool is that since their rooms were diffusing immune boosting and air purifying oils all day, they’re settling down into a an amazing space for optimal sleep.

Of course I keep my standbys in the hall for anything night time can bring:

PanAway for when we’ve got growing pains
SleepyIze when it’s tough to fall asleep
Seedlings Linen Spray to prep pillows for easy rest
Thieves Chest Rub in case I hear the start of a cough in the night
Peace & Calming for night time wind down in their diffusers and backs of their necks.

Easy as Pie

Remember getting your first place?

Running out to grab all of your basics?

This time you get to do it right and save tons of money in the process.

We took advantage of the Subscribe and Save option to save a ton and budget best, and boy does it work! You can read all about it here.

If you’re ready to get rolling and can see this lifestyle fitting right into your very own, this is your next step!

If you need a one-on-one conversation, I’d absolutely love to hear from you! Let’s connect by emailing me at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

Young Living March 2020 Promotions are amazing.

You’re going to love them!

Bag

Can we just pause for a moment and look at how cute that bag is?!

How perfect for spring!

Valor

Valor is commonly referred to as a chiropractor in a bottle.

While I’d never trade it out for an actual chiropractor all together, it has gotten me through some rough times for sure.

This is also an amazing oil to help your emotions and bring courage.

Clarity

Clarity is one of my favorites!

It helps me stay focused and gives me a little energy boost.

I also like to rub it on my temples if I feel the start of a headache coming on.

JuvaFlex

JuvaFlex provides liver support.

It is said that the liver is where we store anger and hate.

Whether you believe that or not, we can all agree it’s a super important part of our health, and we must take great care of it.

JuvaFlex in a veggie capsule will be so kind to your liver and therefore your overall health!

Gentle Baby

Gentle Baby is great for your skin, calming your emotions, and will be something I use on my “mama marks” for sure when my free bottle arrives in a few days!

Cough & Congestion Naturally

How we attack cough & congestion might surprise you.

We never go to the store, and we’re never given prescriptions.

But this works better than anything we’ve ever tried.

Supported Lungs

The only pesticide-free essential oils available are all over our home.

We call this our “wellness arsenal” because we believe God made us to be well and created plants for us to use to this end.

This was how we support our lungs.

Taking away all fragrance, cleaners, and replacing them with Young Living’s safe products made a world of difference.

Oils We Use

Raven is helpful when we have cough and nasty congestion.

We put one drop of Raven in four drops carrier (fatty oil like avocado, olive, coconut, etc) and rub it over our lungs and throat.

Since consistency is key, we make a batch and set a timer on our phone or Alexa to remind us.

Lymphatic Drainage

Okay, the name is gross, but goodness does this work!

Here are the simple directions.

Hydration

Lemon essential oil is our go-to in our reverse osmosis water.

We sip on this in glass only (no one wants to drink petrochemicals!). Keeping up with this hydration process helps flush all the ickiness out of our system.

Nutritional Supplements

Our biggest successes came when we ditched the drug mindset and adopted a supplement/wellness way of thinking.

What’s at the root of this cough and congestion?

Why bandage something without taking care of the cause first?

That’s why we always keep Inner Defense in the house and add it to our Subscribe and Save to arrive every few months, so we never run out.

The oils in this capsule are a sure fire way to get us feeling better fast.

Neti Pot

Okay, I know what you might be thinking.

And believe me. I feel you.

I have my own love-hate relationship with my Neti-Pot, but let me tell you what.

When you put a drop of Rosemary and a drop of Tea Tree into your solution, the results are unbelievable.

Pro Tip: Use only reverse osmosis water and boil it in a lead-free kettle for optimal safety.

Safe Cough Drops

Dyes, synthetics, and pesticides are doing us zero favors.

Instead, try Young Living’s cough drops or make your own with Thieves and Lemon essential oils.

They work amazingly well without anything harming your body while you’re trying to feel better.

Soothe Your Throat

Thieves tea is my jam, y’all.

Steep your favorite organic tea (though I still think Cinnamon tastes best with these oils!).

This helps us break up our congestion.

Then sip to soothe a scratchy throat and enjoy.

Remake as often as needed.

Thieves Tea

Steep tea
Add 1 drop Thieves, 1 drop Peppermint, 1 drop Frankincense, 1 drop Copaiba, 1 drop Lavender, and 2 drops Lemon.
Missing any of those in your oily collection? Just throw in what you do have!
Add honey to taste and waft toward you to open your sinuses and start breathing better!
Sip and remake as many times a day as you need.

We use this to soothe sore throat, stem cough, and for a serious immune boost any time we need it.

Diffuse!

Grab your diffuser and some Raven.

Put a couple drops in and sit right next to it as you give your body some time to rest.

My favorites for cough are Raven, R.C., Eucalyptus Radiata, and Thieves.

Having a diffuser right next to you as you rest or nap is the best way.

That’s a way to make sure you’re feeling better and staying consistent with your oily routine here, so you can be back to normal in no time.

Final Thoughts

If you’re already living the pesticide-free lifestyle, some of these will be normal for you like taking Thieves Vitality, diffusing, and drinking Lemon Vitality oil in your water.

That’s wonderful!

If not, don’t worry.

It’s something that starts to feel second nature in no time.

I’ll be in touch to place you in our oily education tribe, but feel free to ask any questions first contacting me directly at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

Give yourself grace and rest, friend.

Many blessings to you and quick healing when you’re not feeling well!

I Have my Young Living Starter Kit, Now What?

If you've been thinking to yourself, "I have my starter kit, now what?" after getting your start with Young Living, here's the next step.

I Have My Young Living Starter Kit, Now What?

If you’re thinking to yourself, “I have my Young Living Starter Kit, so now what?” you’re in the right place!

A few easy steps to success are up ahead!

Step 1: Get Connected

The way Young Living works is by word of mouth.

Some of us love this way of life so much that we tell everyone we know and help you all along for the ride.

Get connected with what we call your “upline leader” and go to classes both online and in person.

Scroll through their Facebook group to learn something new to apply each day (or week-go at your pace!) that’s easy to add to your life.

If you don’t know who your upline is or where their education group is, ask the person who helped you get started.

Get a Reference Guide

I gift the Essential Oils Reference Guide app to each person who gets their kit because it makes life so simple!

Look up what your new oils can do.

Find what oils you need for a certain issue.

I love how empowering this app is for all new oilers!

Just Use Them!

Put them on.

You won’t do it wrong.

I promise.

Diffuse them.

Use three or four drops in the diffuser.

Use them, and then use them some more.

Consistency creates a new habit and a healthy home in this case!

Plan Ahead

Subscribe and Save is one of the best things our family did.

We save much more with the Young Living lifestyle compared to shopping in store, it’s unreal.

So, use posts like this, your reference guide, or an iTovi scanner to create a list of needs in your home.

Ditch-n-Switch

You get SO MUCH MORE than just a few natural remedies!

We ditch the bandaid mentality and switch to a wellness and proactive way of thinking!

Let me just save you lots of time here.

Everything in your house that isn’t Young Living isn’t safe at its core.

How do I know?

Because everyone but Young Living puts one or both of the following in their products:

pesticides (they spray their plant material)
synthetics (your body is real and doesn’t handle these well)

Go around the house. Create a list of all the products in your home. Seek out the Young Living product that will let you get rid of it for good.

Or, if you’re in my wonderful tribe of oilers, you can use our cheat sheet in our Facebook group !

Final Thoughts

This lifestyle should be simpler and less expensive.

If you aren’t finding this to be true, talk to your upline about diluting (our products are highly concentrated and like buying in bulk), Essential Rewards, and even a DIY here and there.

This is a hugely rewarding lifestyle that comes with a little learning curve, but one that is simple to navigate if you’ve got a great group to learn alongside!

Need a Tribe?

We’d love to have you!

Get started here.

Ask questions to me directly at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

We’ll take you under our wing and help you learn the ropes!

Why You Shouldn’t Buy Just ANY Essential Oil

With essential oil companies popping up left and right, here's how to spot a fake, and here's who's always got your back.

Essential Oil Key Info: Before You Buy

With essential oil companies popping up all over the place, there are a few things you should know first.

1. The 26 Second Rule

Anything on your skin is in your bloodstream within 26 seconds.

Yes, this means it alters your DNA.

2. The 5% Law

One more thing before we get into the nitty gritty here.

The law only requires FIVE PERCENT of what is in an essential oils bottle to be actual oil from the plant.

This five percent bottle can be called “pure” and “therapeutic.”

Keep reading to find out what the other 95% is.

3. Organic Confusion

As consumers we generally see organic as safest, but that is hardly the case when it comes to essential oils.

The 5% law means that the “organic” oils you see on the shelf are packed full of synthetics and fragrance for highest profit.

Your body, very real and non-synthetic cannot handle fragrance or fake stuff, so every little cell in your body freaks out. Not good.

4. Pesticides Matter

Both inorganic and organic pesticides are still just that: pesticide.

And you do NOT want pesticides in your bloodstream.

There is only one company who never sprays their plants, and that’s Young Living.

Want proof?

You’re welcome on any farm, anywhere in the world, any day of the week.

5. Other Factors

I could go on forever about how Young Living is the only first distillation, zero pesticide, zero synthetics, and zero fragrance company and why all that matters.

However, it really comes down to pesticides.

They’re a big factor when it comes to the crazy-huge rise in disease, and it has to be stopped.

6. One-Stop Shop

Young Living has over 600 lifestyle products all bearing the Seed-to-Seal promise.

Zero junk. 100% oil in every single bottle–whether that’s chapstick, body wash, deodorant, CBD or anything in-between.

7. Your Vote Matters

When you buy from Young Living only for every cleaning, personal care, and supplement need, you’re saying to the rest of the world, “This is our demand. Real, body-helping products. Or you don’t see a dime.”

8. Less Expensive than In-Store

Young Living is less expensive despite the sticker shock much like when you’re at Costco or Sams for the first time seeing how much bulk costs.

Young Living is simply buying in bulk.

Because of this, I can get 29 household cleaners for $22.

300 times I’ve rid of fever for $21.

Not too shabby considering the store comes nowhere near these prices.

9. Start Today

The way Young Living works is simple:

Choose your wholesale kit (priced $35 and up–click HERE)
Choose Essential Rewards for max benefit (read more about it here)
Click “accept” when I add you to our education group and become a part of our tribe. We learn together–you’re never alone. It’s amazing!
Accept the free reference guide app I send to you, so you know what to use when making the start of this journey SO EASY!

10. Questions?

Email me anytime at andrea@gospalchapter.com.

I would so love to chat oils and healthy living with you.

Our family has been toxin-free for three-and-a-half years as I write this in February of 2020.

All in an effort to stop disease in its tracks, feel better, and keep our six-year-old from relapsing (childhood cancer).

I teach Young Living because I have researched like crazy and cannot find anything else that matches Young Living’s purity, cost, and efficacy.

I look forward to meeting you and learning more about your needs!

Video of Promos

Cedarwood

I love Cedarwood for sleep and skin!

It’s so calming and can be used in so many DIYs for skincare.

Ylang Ylang + Patchouli

Ylang Ylang has that light floral smell that makes your home smell like spring has sprung.

Patchouli + Joy blend are amazing in the diffuser, so if you got the free Joy a couple of months ago, that will be a wonderful combo.

Geranium

If you want an oil that makes your hair luminous and skin glow, Geranium is your friend!

Ylang Ylang and Geranium are also in our oil blend “Sensation,” which means you could totally make your own Lucy Libido roller with your freebies!

Rutavala

Need help dropping off to sleep?

Rutavala is your new best friend!

Its calming effect makes for a great addition to your bedtime routine, and the roller bottle gives it a convenience aspect you’ll love.

Seed-to-Seal Story Collection

This is a fantastic gift because it embodies what Young Living is all about.

Never sprayed plants. Nothing ever added. The safest oils on the planet.

Best of all, Tea Tree, Lavender, and Peppermint are the oils you’ll receive in this collection.

Tea Tree is amazing for all things skin.

Lavender is fantastic for skin as well, but in our home, my very fair skin is grateful for Lavender and Tea Tree essential oils every single summer.

Peppermint is one of the most complete oils and one we were told in training to always keep on your person along with Lemon.

Peppermint has calmed me in times of panic, cooled me off, and kept me focused and energized.

Enjoy the Lifestyle

The Young Living lifestyle is the way our family has turned our health over from desperate to well.

If you’re looking into the Young Living lifestyle, remember that most everything is concentrated, diluting out to make most of the 600+ products far less than your in-store cost.

The even better part is that on top of saving money, you’re also getting the safest oils and products available.

Click HERE to get started with your Premium Starter Kit and HERE to learn all about the Essential Rewards that saves our family thousands every year!

Get Essential Oils + a Toxin-Free Lifestyle Here

Click HERE for a simple walk through on how to buy the safest essential oils and start a toxin-free lifestyle with Young Living.

Why Young Living Only?

Zero pesticides
Single distillation
Soil hasn’t been touched by pesticides in 50+ years
You can go to any farm in the world to see for yourself
Zero synthetics
Zero fragrance
ONLY essential oil
BECAUSE YOU ARE READY TO TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH!

5% Rule

There’s a rule that says companies only have to make sure 5% of the oil in their bottles is actual essential oil to be considered “pure and therapeutic.”

Organic oils can even have synthetics and fragrance added to them under this rule, and do.

Young Living oils are the ONLY oils who never adulterate* their oils and have 100% never changed essential oil.

*I consider spraying plants with any pesticide as adulterating the oil.

Why Care About Pesticides?

Anything you put on your skin is in your bloodstream in 26 seconds.

Choosing an essential oil company outside of Young Living ensures you’ll have those pesticides coursing through your veins as well.

Why spend your money on a temporary fix that makes a long-term problem?

What About Organic Pesticides?

When I say ZERO pesticides, I mean ZERO.

Not even organic pesticides.

Young Living is hand-weeded (or sheep-weeded in some cases like the France Lavender farm!) and this is their above-and-beyond calling they call Seed-to-Seal.

Are They Expensive?

The amazing part about Young Living is the concentration of the oils and over 600+ lifestyle products.

For example, the household cleaner makes 29 spray bottles.

One 15mL bottle of oil has around 300 drops in it.

When you buy a Young Living lifestyle item, you’re adding immense value to your home and saving a ton!

How Do I Know Which Oils I Need?

Most people start with the Premium Starter Kit. It comes with 12 oils, a diffuser, and some samples of other lifestyle products at around half the cost as a bundle/kit.

These 12 oils are called our “Everyday Oils,” and the kit itself comes with a 24% discount on all products for life.

From there, the iTovi scanner {click HERE} and Essential Oils Reference Guide {click HERE) are two must-haves for taking on your new life of proactive living.

How Often Do I Have to Order?

That’s up to you.

Our family can’t possibly pass up the thousands of dollars we save every year with the loyalty program called Essential Rewards (read about it HERE).

You can order once in your whole life and never again, you can order with Essential Rewards, or anywhere in-between.

Do I Have to Sell this Stuff?

Nope.

I personally tell everyone I know (including you!) because it feels like a deep down serious moral obligation to let people know there’s a safe way to live with all the disease in this world. You can be a part of one of the greatest changes in someone’s life, and that’s big.

You decide how and when you share, AND if you do, Young Living will send you a thank you check. No strings. No immediate business you’re roped into. Simply a, “Hey, you helped save a family. Thanks!” bonus check!

You can learn how to utilize the Young Living referral program HERE.

Learn fast truths and how to get the safest oils on the planet. Add value to your home and budget. Feel better. Live well.

What if I Need to Talk This Out?

Email me at andrea@gospalchapter.com, and I’ll answer any questions you have.

This is about YOU.

It’s your decision. Your lifestyle change.

We will go at YOUR pace, within YOUR budget, and with ZERO weird pressure.

I’m Totally Ready. What’s the BEST Way to Start with Young Living?

Premium Starter Kit and Essential Rewards. (Get started HERE).

I will get an email confirming you’ve gotten started.

You’ll have immediate access to our education group online. This is our tribe. We lift each other up. Learn together. Ask questions. And most importantly have FUN!

You will never be alone in this new lifestyle!

Hope to meet you soon!

How the iTovi Scanner Rocked Our World

First iTovi Scanner Experience: Skeptical

The first time I saw the iTovi Scanner, I wasn’t so sure about it.

The scan came up for Thieves (among other oils and products leaning toward immune support), which if you’re not familiar with Young Living Essential Oils, is a blend that we use in our home when we’re sick.

I didn’t feel sick at all.

How could this little hand-held device tell me what oils and oil-infused supplements I needed?

I walked out of my friend’s house thinking this iTovi thing was ridiculous.

The next day, however I came down with one of the worst sicknesses I’d ever had.

All of a sudden, this girl was a believer.

If Only

Had I just taken Thieves, diffused it, and put it on topically that night every hour, there’s a chance I could’ve either avoided the sickness that took me down or at least lessened it.

This is why we love our iTovi scanner and have had one for the last year or so now.

iTovi Technology

You can read all about how iTovi works here.

The short version is that it measures the electrical conductivity of your skin to pair you with oils and oil-infused products that will bring your body back to balance.

This galvanic skin response technology isn’t new, but how iTovi is using it is brilliant and super helpful!

Scan Example

The following is a recent scan I did.

You’ll see how amazingly helpful this tool really is.

The first thing you’ll see are your top 7 oils. You can see my top 4 here.

These are the top 7 oils and supplements that I can use to bring my body back to balance.

If you want to dig a little deeper, you can click the “emotions” or “body systems” pages.

Emotions

This part of the scan report is fascinating to me.

Each time I scan, I can either understand why I feel this way, or I am able to take some time to reflect on the past few days and think about what I might be holding onto that I need to release.

This is huge.

Mental health is screaming to be looked at, normalized, and in serious need of real tools that will help.

You can learn more about an emotional release technique I use here.

Body Systems

When I got this report it made total sense.

I knew exactly how I’d been feeling and was hoping for answers and for the scan to help me.

It absolutely did.

It’s amazing what happens when you follow the top oils and dig down into your report to see what oils you have in your arsenal to make your family feel their best.

Using the Scanner

It’s super simple to use.

We scan every 3-4 days, and jot down a quick list for each of us to keep in the kitchen.

It’s amazing to see the patterns forming which really help us unfold the underlying truths behind our health and wellness.

We will use these oils and oil-infused products three or four times per day.

We’ll use the Vita Flex charts and Buttoning to enhance the performance of each product we’re using.
