Just about two years ago, we started on our journey to help our family be healthier. We realized there were toxins lurking in our home that we had never thought twice about…toxins known to disrupt hormones, speed aging, interfere with fertility, cause cancer, and more.
.
We had assumed, to some degree, that if products were allowed to be sold in stores like Target, that they were safe. There are people in charge of making sure of that, right? Well…we found out that was not really true. As we began to read labels and see that so many things that we never thought about were actually causing our bodies a lot of harm, we became determined to kick those things out of our home once and for all. And we wanted to replace them with things that were not only NOT BAD for us, but actually GOOD for us. Things that would improve our level of wellness.
.
We couldn’t afford to do it all at once. We had to start kicking one or two toxic items out of our house at a time. The very first things we ditched were disinfecting wipes and all-purpose cleaner. We hopped on Essential Rewards and began placing monthly orders to slowly replace things. Placing those orders through ER earned us a ton of reward points which enabled us to make the process even faster. We even got new products to try each month for FREE. Now I can happily say that our house and our health are a whole lot better than they used to be!
.
Long story short: We have hundreds of dollars worth of Young Living products in our home that we paid $0 for and I want to help y’all do the same. Essential Rewards is amaaaaaaaazing!
Who LOVES getting happy mail?!?
I do! I do! I do!
Every month I get happy mail from Young Living. It’s basically a customizable “subscription box” (think like Stitch Fix, Ipsy, Birchbox, etc). BUT this box is a Wellness Box for a healthy home! AND it’s completely customizable – I pick exactly what I want to receive that month!
It’s my Essential Rewards order and it’s seriously the best day of the month! It’s like Christmas morning for grownups. Every.single.month. No joke, ER will brighten your whole month!
That’s why we call it happy mail!!!

You can edit your Wellness Box shopping cart, choose the day it ships, change your shipping method, all right from your Young Living account in the Virtual Office!
The Details //
+ Start at any time!

+ You can cancel at anytime, there is no contract or scary commitment
.
Then I realized how many incredible products Young Living has, and how much of it is what I buy already (toothpaste, laundry soap, granola, makeup, vitamins, etc). I’m certainly not going to stop buying shampoo anytime soon! These YL products are not just NOT BAD for us, but are actually so very good for us with a wide variety of benefits to our health.
.
I didn’t need to buy “extra”, I could just STOP BUYING IT AT TARGET and buy from Young Living instead.
.
This is what we call “Transfer Buying” because you’re just spending the same money in a different place and on items that are SO much healthier for your family. #dontsettleforless

Give that shopping list a second look. Which products are you going to stop buying at the store and start buying from Young Living instead???
.
(TARGET, we still love you. You’ll always be our #1 for throw pillows, bath towels, and sandals.)
Some of the absolute staples for my Essential Rewards monthly orders are:
+ Thieves Laundry Soap
+ Thieves Dish Soap
+ Lemon Sandalwood Bar Soap
+ Seedlings Baby Wipes
+ Thieves Spray
+ Thieves Waterless Hand Purifiers
+ NingXia Red
+ Valor (I love the Roll-On!)
+ Lip Balm (My fave is Grapefruit!)
+ I restock oils month to month depending on what we are running low on!
Let’s go beyond the kit! We love our starter kit staples, but there is SO MUCH MORE that Young Living offers!!!
.
Did you know we have:
+ A nutrition line that includes safe plant based supplements, vitamins, drinks, and more?
+ Savvy Minerals, non toxic mineral makeup? Our skin is our largest organ, let’s treat it right!
+ Seedlings, a line of products just for our babies/littles?
+ KidScents, another line with our kids in mind, pre-diluted and ready to go?
+ Collections that are curated and work in harmony together like our Feelings Kit?
+ The Thieves line that is a fan fave because it works incredible and you don’t have to wonder what is lurking inside? Hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap #allthesoaps
+ Bath products like our Satin Facial Scrub, ART skincare line, shampoo, conditioner? Literally everything is essential oil based and totally safe for you and your family!
Look no further, I’ve made a (not-so) quick list of my favorites!
I know this list might seem long. You should have seen me trying to narrow it down 🤨
——————————
Oils:
*Tea Tree – Staple oil! Good for everything!
*Peace & Calming – If you haven’t heard me carry on about P&C, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN???
*Dragon Time – my husband makes sure I NEVER run out of DT! It helps me fight the good fight against hormonal rages and comforts my lower back and abdomen.
*Northern Lights Black Spruce – I’m completely obsessed with diffusing this! One of my all time favorite smells!
*Sacred Mountain – chill pill oil
*M-Grain – yep, it stands for what you think it stands for 😉
*Oregano – IMMUNE SUPPORT
——————————
Supplements:
*NingXia Red – supports the whole family heads to toes, one ounce contains as much antioxidants as 814 blueberries, supports our immune systems & energy levels
*MultiGreens – who eats enough leafy greens anyway? We don’t. I’d much rather take this supplement than munch on collards and kale all the day.
*Inner Defense – supporting our immune systems on the go, we ate these like candy in China, we always have a backup bottle on hand
*Super B – super energy for super mom
*Super C – you really can’t ever have enough immune support. Yuck is not welcome in our home.
*PowerGize – for our energy levels and mental clarity, aging is hard
*CortiStop – to keep my body balanced, supports my glands (and those gals need all the help they can get)
*Thyromin – supporting that thyroid and helping me sleep like a milk-drunk baby
*Master Formula – the all-encompassing multi-vitamin of vitamins
*Life 9 – probiotics to keep that gut in check
——————————
Around The House:
*Thieves Household Cleaner – This stuff is seriously my BFF and my soulmate rolled into one. It’s replaced every single other cleaner in my house and I AM OBSESSED.
*Thieves Dish Soap – I’m blushing. My devotion to a dish soap can be embarrassing. It cuts through grease and grime like it is its job (because it is) without any of the yucky toxins that are in conventional dish soap. Yes, please!
*Thieves Foaming Hand Soap – your hands will be SO clean and SO soft
*Orange Blossom Face Wash – my one and only, CHANGED my skin!
*ART Light Moisturizer – my two and only, my face wash and moisturizer are a pair that cannot be divided
*Satin Mint Facial Scrub – my favorite way to exfoliate, your skin will feel like a you-know-what, use it as a scrub or leave it on longer for a mask
*AromaBright Toothpaste – fluoride free goodness, google to find out why you don’t want fluoride in your toothpaste
——————————
For My Littles:
*NingXia Red packets – all day, every day
*KidScents Toothpaste – no poison control warnings here
*TummyGize – little tummies often need extra support and this oil takes care of that for us
*SniffleEase – ‘cus kids be sniffling
*MightyVites – chock-full of superfruits, plants, and veggies
*SleepyIze – enough said
*Gentle Baby – this is our calming, soothing, relaxing oil
*Melrose – Let’s hear it for the ears!
*KidScents Bath Gel – toxin free clean is the best clean
You can start small with 50pv a month or have huge addict’s orders like mine 
This is the real kicker….Not only do you get 24% off already as a MEMBER of Young Living, but when you order through Essential Rewards (ER), you also get an additional percentage back ON EVERY ORDER!
The FIRST THREE months that you order through ER, you earn 10% back on each of your ER orders.
So if you place a 100PV order, you earn 10 Reward Points ($10) to redeem for free oils and products, which is like getting everything you buy at 10% off.
Starting at MONTH FOUR you earn 20% back on your ER orders. So if you place a 100PV order, you will earn 20 Reward Points ($20) to redeem for free oils and products. That’s just $100 for $120 worth of products.
Months 25 AND ONWARD you earn 25% back on your ER orders. So if you place a 100PV order, you will earn 25 Reward Points ($25) to redeem for free oils and products. That’s just $100 for $125 worth of products!
Hang on, because there is still more…
Every month, Young Living will give a set of free oils or products with qualifying orders depending on what is spent. They are called the Monthly Promos and we always talk about them in this group!
Let me tell you these are such a fun surprise. And most likely the promos will be:
1) Something you already needed to buy or will eventually need.
2) Something you’ve been wanting to try.
3) Something you’d never think to buy but might fall in love with anyway!!! (this has happened to me a lot and is so much fun).
When you order through Essential Rewards, you can get extra freebies in the monthly promos that are ER Exclusives
AND every three months on Essential Rewards, YL will send you yet ANOTHER FREE OIL as a loyalty gift. It’s bananas.
Even so, you might be wondering what to order each month. This is a non-issue for me, personally. My main struggle is narrowing down my order each month to keep myself from buying ALL THE THINGS. But to each his own
