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.

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

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.*

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

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.

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

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!

andrea@gospalchapter.com.

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!

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

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?!

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

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!

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

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

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.

How to Get Young Living Essential Oils + FREEBIES!

How to get Young Living Essential Oils and the amazing freebies is simple!

I’ll walk you through how in this post!

High Value, Lower Cost

By now you’ve read about our journey with essential oils and why it absolutely had to be Young Living.

Maybe you could picture yourself making the switch to this new lifestyle after following our family through a day in our oily life.

However you landed here, know you’re in the right place for a healthy change and to save tons of money compared to your old, toxic lifestyle.

This post walks you through how to get Young Living oils, what their toxin-free lifestyle really looks like, and what your options are.

First Decision: Wholesale or Retail

We were so sick of putting bandaids on everything and were ready for a real change.

Because we didn’t want to be roped into anything where we were forced to sell or spend any certain amount, we made Young Living fit our lifestyle.

Retail means to buy at full price.

Wholesale gives you discounts and the ability to choose the monthly program to budget (which you can read about here).

Becoming a Wholesale Member

Wholesale makes the most sense if you’re looking for more than just an oil or a bottle of Thieves Household Cleaner.

You’ve got a few different kit options here:

Diffuser Choice with Kit

If you choose the oils kit, you can pick a diffuser.

Frequently Asked Questions

DOES SIGNING UP MAKE ME A “DISTRIBUTOR”?

Nope! You aren’t ever required to sell.

When you become a wholesale member, you get a special link you can share with friends and get credit from their purchases, but there are no minimum sales amounts if you choose to use it.

In fact, 90% of the wholesale members in Young Living don’t do the business side at all. They’re buying from Young Living because of the quality.

WHAT ABOUT MINIMUM PURCHASES?

There are NO minimum monthly purchase requirements.

To remain a wholesale member, you have to make $50 worth of purchases per year to keep your membership.

But if there’s a year that you don’t make a $50 purchase, you can reinstate your wholesale membership discount by just placing a $50 order.

If you do find yourself making regular purchases each month, then Young Living has a rewards program (called Essential Rewards) where you can make a nice percentage back in product credit each month on all of your purchases.

So that’s a great program to join if you find that you *want* to purchase regularly (but it’s not a requirement for being a wholesale member).

WHY SHOULD I BUY FROM YOUNG LIVING INSTEAD OF OTHER ESSENTIAL OILS COMPANIES?

It does seem like a new essential oils company pops up every day, doesn’t it? 

I can’t speak to the quality of other companies, but I can say that Young Living was the only company in my research of essential oil companies that could answer all of my questions about purity in a way that was satisfactory to me.

Young Living was the only company that:

  • Has their own farms (in the regions where the plants should be grown)
  • Could guarantee that no pesticides or herbicides were used in the growing of any of their oils (they use essential oils for pest control and they do all of the weeding by hand). Organic is not pesticide or herbicide free. It’s a step down.
  • Has their own testing equipment (they do both in-house and 3rd party testing, and use many different testing methods not just GC/MS which only tests for certain chemicals, not whether those chemicals are synthetic or not)
  • Only uses the first distillation of oils instead of adding chemicals to get more out of the plant.

Young Living also was the only company that was directly in charge of essential oil farming operations.

Every other company I researched goes through some kind of an “oil broker” to buy their oils. Even if they’re “sustainably sourced,” that’s not something you want.

They have to trust that the oil broker is telling the truth, who has to trust that the essential oil distilleries are telling the truth, who have to trust that the farmers are telling the truth about what they say they are doing.

With Young Living, you just have to trust one company instead of several.

I felt the most comfortable trusting Young Living since they’re a full-disclosure company.

ANYONE can visit the farms, participate in the harvesting and distillation, view the Young Living labs, and see the entire process. That’s not an option with any other company!

HOW WILL I KNOW WHICH OILS TO USE FOR WHAT?

One of the benefits of getting a starter kit is that you also get to join our private Facebook group that’s specifically for questions about essential oils!

My weekly usage tips and recipes will text straight to you making life even simpler!

DOES YOUNG LIVING ONLY SELL ESSENTIAL OILS?

The answer to this one was surprising to me when I first got my starter kit!

Young Living uses their pesticide-free, synthetic-free, fragrance free, people over profit model to create over 600 lifestyle products.

Most all of these are concentrated, so it’s like buying bulk in small bottles saving you lots in the process.

Thanks so much for reading and please email me at andrea@gospalchapter.com for any other questions!

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.

GiftWrapMyFace

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.

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.

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.

10 Reasons Young Living Will be Your New BFF

Young Living Will be Your New BFF

Young Living is a 25 year company, who has over 600 toxin-free and pesticide-free products.

These products will change your life in ten major ways, leaving you feeling like you’ve just met your new best friend.

Here are ten reasons (though this only scratches the surface) of why Young Living Essential Oils company will be your new very best friend.

1. Stress

Stress comes in many shapes and sizes.

It can easily ruin a day, week, month, or year.

But it doesn’t have to.

Pop a roller fitment on top of your Stress Away bottle from the Premium Starter Kit, and you’ll find yourself melting into a calmer version of yourself.

Why?

It’s science, of course!

Simply put, smell goes to the spot where emotions are handled in your brain.

Certain smells (like the Lime, Vanilla, and Lavender in Stress Away), tell your brain, “chill out, friend…you got this.”

2. Cleaning

Okay…no one likes to clean, so why make it complicated with a bunch of cleaners all over your house that don’t even disinfect?

Hard pass!

Grab your ONE bottle that does it ALL: Thieves Household Cleaner!

Read here for FIFTY ways I use this bottle of magic.

3. Digestion

You’ve just had lunch with some friends and your stomach isn’t happy with your choices.

Or…

The meeting you’re in ran much later than you thought and your stomach is trying to attack you for ignoring it for so long…and getting louder by the minute!

Or…

“Mama, Daddy! My tummy hurts!”

Such an easy solution: DiGize from the Premium Starter Kit or the KidScents version, TummyGize.

To knock down the DiGize-y smell, carry a rollerbottle with 10 drops DiGize, 5 drops Peppermint (also in the starter kit), and fill the rest with carrier oil.

Make life much simpler when you pop a roller fitment on top of the TummyGize and keep it in the kids’ bathroom!

Your tummy will soothe faster than you’ve ever experienced, and you’ll feel much better!

4. Immunity

Our old life before Young Living was just a crapshoot.

My goodness. We just sat around waiting for when we might get sick again.

Such a silly way to live!

Now, we have preventative and active measures to get us through whatever illness might come along.

We have been successful in using oils like Thieves from the Premium Starter Kit, ImmuPower, and Inner Defense to kick the sick without gut-harming, liver-harming, brain-harming over-the-counters and prescriptions!

In fact, our family hasn’t had one of those in the house for years!

Even better: our over-the-counter medicine cabinet expired!

5. Energy

No, not the fake, from a can or pouch, synthetic, on-the-run type energy.

We’re talking real, from the inside, “I feel better because I am better” energy.

Adopting the Young Living lifestyle means you’re kicking out the fake fragrances and synthetic dyes and ingredients that bog you down.

Add in our NingXia Red antioxidant drink with a drop of brain, focus, and energy-boosting Peppermint (all in the Premium Starter Kit), and you’re on your way!

I’m a girl in love with her coffee (especially with a drop of immune-boosting Cinnamon Bark oil in it!), but we know coffee is only a temporary fix.

What we really need is ongoing energy, so we can snuggle up around that cup of joe but not become dependent upon him. That’s just not a healthy relationship, Joe. No offense. 🙂

6. Skin

Toxins, especially those floating around in every other product other than Young Living, are a huge reason for premature aging!

Drink water (especially with a drop of Lemon from the Premium Starter Kit!) to boost your skin’s cell turnover, and fill your Essential Rewards order with the ART line of premier skin care or the beloved Orange Blossom line that’s sure to be amazing for even the most sensitive skin.

And speaking of sensitive skin…I was told I had it.

Nope.

My body was simply rejecting the synthetics in all the products I was using before Young Living.

Post Young Living: not an irritation in sight.

One of the best things about sharing Young Living are the skin testimonials.

Especially my friends who have such powerful stories of ridding their kids’ eczema and other rashes and skin conditions. WOO!

7. Sleep

Guess what interrupts sleep?

You guessed it: toxins.

Synthetic fragrance (AKA fake hormones) mess with your body’s ability to regulate so many of the factors it takes to not only fall asleep and stay asleep but also to have good, quality rest!

Along with the toxin-free lifestyle and oils like Lavender, Cedarwood, and supplements like SleepEssence, Young Living also offers you the safest CBD isolate on the planet. No chemicals. No pesticides. Lots of good, quality, sleep!

BONUS: great sleep=more energy!!

You can learn more about CBD here.

8. Focus

Before Young Living I didn’t even realize how foggy my brain was!

Adding brain-health support like MindWise, NingXia Red, and ridding our family of the bioaccumulation from fluoride that harmed our brains with our Thieves oral care, I now feel more clear-minded that I ever have before!

Click here to learn how the Thieves Oral Care line saved my mouth!

9. Mental Health

We shout it from the rooftops to normalize mental health in mainstream media, but what no one seems to realize is that this is only half the problem.

We need real tools to save our mental and emotional health, and we need it now!

The toxin-free lifestyle is the biggest relief you can offer anyone with anxiety, depression, or any other mental and emotional health issues.

From there, you can tap back into that science I was talking about before and do things like the Memory Release technique (click here to read about it) and just simply breathing in certain oils that reroute your brain to literally think and feel better.

This is what we strive for in prescriptions, but our perfect, pesticide-free oils have zero side effects.

It’s been amazing to hear the testimonials of people who have used oil blends like Release, and our CBD oils to regain control of their mental and emotional health.

10. Whole Family Love

Last but certainly not least, Young Living’s 25 years of experience has something for every single person in your family.

From everything I mentioned above to our Seedlings line for babies, KidScents line for littles, AnimalScents for our fur babies, and even serious nutritional support for every age, Young Living offers you a lifestyle like no one else.

The best part is that with the Essential Rewards program, we find we’ve saved thousands every year we’ve taken advantage of this new lifestyle.

We are forever grateful to Young Living for Gary’s vision of Purpose over Profit.

Here are ten reasons (though this only scratches the surface) of why Young Living Essential Oils company will be your new very best friend.

Which CBD Should You Choose?

Which CBD oil should you choose?

The Problem

Just like the essential oils industry, people saw a way to make a quick buck with CBD oil.

In a flash there were CBD companies popping up all over the place.

Similarly, without research, harm, just like with essential oil fakes, will happen.

How do you choose?

Isolate VS Full-Spectrum CBD

Isolate is where it’s at.

There’s no trace amounts of THC, which means it won’t mess with any work drug tests.

Full spectrum contains plant material, chlorophyll, waxes, oils, terpenes, and toxins from the soil.

For this reason, isolate is a much safer choice.

Terpenes

Terpenes matter!

Young Living oils infuse Nature Ultras CBD creating the best oils high in terpenes.

A terpene is an aromatic hydrocarbon in the oil of a plant.

Terpenes effect receptors and neurotransmitters in the brain.

To the brain they look like antidepressants.

Because of this, the combination of Young Living’s essential oils and Natures Ultra CBD has unbelievable effects on the body!

Roadtrippers.com

Why Nature’s Ultra CBD ?

  1. Quality starts at the source. Growing Nature’s Ultra CBD in the high mountains of Colorado allows fewer pests without spraying chemicals. Natures Ultra CBD is pesticide-free.
  2. Nature’s Ultra is one of the first companies with a USDA organic certification and USDA organic handler’s certifications. Testing in multiple stages throughout the manufacturing process allows for potency and purity.
  3. No heavy metals. All products have been subjected to rigorous laboratory testing to ensure it contains the optimal amount of CBD and is free of heavy metals.
  4. No solvents. Harsh chemicals are never used in the manufacturing process thanks to the proprietary CO2 extraction methods.
  5. The QR code on bottle will lead to lab test results.
  6. Quality extraction process. The green-friendly CO2 extraction process produces the purest CBD at 99% or higher. Nature’s Ultra certifies zero THC (0.00%).
  7. All ingredients proven natural, organic, vegan, and gluten free.

Just like Young Living, Nature’s Ultra is even better than organic.

Never sprayed.

Hand-weeded.

Harvested at the best time.

Bottled and tested to perfection.

Because of this, we can trust this company as much as Young Living.

Maidenform

A Sweet Discount!

Because Young Living and Natures Ultra have partnered, a discount is apart of the package. The best part of having a Young Living membership for CBD purchases is the 24% discount on all Nature’s Ultra products!

After purchasing a Premium or Basic Starter Kit, total access to the best oil on the planet for discount is available!
