INTRO
Hi friend! It’s Jess, part of your Young Living support team! I am so thrilled to see you’ve joined our Young Living family. Your enroller will be your primary contact (and if that’s me woo hoo) but I am here also! Welcome! 🤗
I'd love to know why you got started with Young Living & what you're looking to achieve on your wellness journey. ❤️ We got started because of my hubby's back issues (he's a 2 time veteran), to keep our kiddos healthy & I needed emotional support!!
thankful to have you in our community & SO excited for you to get your first order home! 👏 always here to help so please let me know if you ever need anything!!

THE BASICS
here is a quick run down of the basics of essential oils:
⌓ topically — applying oils directly to your skin
⌓ aromatically — diffusing or breathing oils straight from the bottle
⌓ internally — adding a drop of the vitality oils to water, tea, or a veggie capsule
when applying oils topically for the first time, follow the usage instructions printed on each essential oil label (just peal back to reveal). start with a drop and slowly increase from there over time once you get comfortable with the power of each oil.
our young living oils are 100% pure, so sometimes we dilute them down with carrier oil to decrease their potency. and some oils are considered “hot oils” — which can cause a hot or warm sensation when applied to the skin. cinnamon, clove, and thieves are some common examples & I’d always recommend using a carrier oil with these oils.
VITALITY OILS
essential oils not only smell amazing, but can help your body in so many ways - immune support, emotional support, a restful night's sleep, energy, tension relief, skincare, and so much more!
here is a super helpful guide you can save to your phone & reference when you're looking for a certain oil! these are all of my most used, favorite oils for different areas of support.
is there any area(s) in your life you're looking for some extra support in?
HOW TO USE
you may have already noticed young living has an entire line of ingestible oils called the "vitality line" — they have white labels that are specifically labeled for ingestion, and you can use them in your tea, water, veggie capsules, etc!
you’ll notice that lemon is offered in a vitality oil (white labeled oil) AND a regular, yellow labeled oil. the coolest part? these are the EXACT same oil. lemon vitality is just labeled safe for ingestion per the FDA, and the colorful lemon bottle is only labeled for topical and aromatic use. as long as an oil has a corresponding vitality labeled oil, you can use them interchangeably for topical, aromatic, and internal use! 👍
one or two drops of a vitality oil goes a long way! here is a super yummy & refreshing recipe for honey-lavender lemonade: https://youtu.be/ciduG4zVc5Q
DIFFUSER BLENDS
diffusing has become such a huge part of our every day and totally sets the vibe in our home — along with all the therapeutic benefits ✨
here are some of my favorite diffuser blends — save this photo to your phone so you have ideas on hand! just fill your diffuser with water + add your oils of choice 🌿 how many drops you use is totally up to you! if you are brand new to oils or in a small space, start with less drops. in most rooms, 5-6 drops is usually great! for larger spaces, you can totally do more! 👏
ROLLER BLENDS
you can also use essential oils to make beautiful + helpful rollers! we use rollers as natural perfume, for immune support, head tension, seasonal support, calming vibes.. all the things!
all you need to make a roller is a roller bottle, carrier oil, & your oils!
again, how many drops you use is totally up to you! for a 10 ml roller, I usually do 20-30 drops of essential oil & fill the rest with fractionated coconut oil — but it doesn't need to be precise! again, start small and add more from there 👏

THIEVES LINE
young living has an entire line of plant based, nontoxic, and powerful cleaning products that are all based on the essential oil blend: thieves!
over the years, I've ditched my toxic, chemical filled household cleaners and switched to this one bottle of thieves household cleaner! I use it on every surface in our home - counters, sinks, floors, mirrors, windows, toilets, tubs, furniture... literally everywhere!
all you need is a capful of thieves concentrate to make a 16 oz glass spray bottle of all-purpose cleaner!! you can make a bunch of DIYs with your thieves cleaner too — I love my stain stick and shower spray!! check out this post here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/distillery411/posts/1313660412313284
it works. it smells good. it's safe. and it doesn't give me a headache like my old cleaners did ✌️ oh, and there's also lushious lemon foaming hand soap, thieves dish soap & laundry soap, and so many more thieves products to check out too!!
SUPPLEMENTS
about two years ago, I decided to slowly ditch my toxic + fragrance filled products and slowly start switching to nontoxic alternatives.
quick facts on chemicals in our products:
- our skin is our largest organ
- about 65% of what we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies
- women use an average of 12 products a day, containing 168 different chemicals
young living has been my easy button for finding plant based products that actually work -- from cleaning products to supplements, personal care products & makeup. and amazing skincare that not only smells & works amazing, but has so many added benefits for our skin!
you can DIY your own glow facial serum with lavender, frankincense, and elemi essential oil. or snag sheerlume or beauty boost serum for glowing, youthful skin! I call that combo SPANX for my face lol! Also the satin mint facial scrub is my fav for a gentle, exfoliating face wash. and the sensation body wash is my fav!!
SKINCARE
as you likely already know, I’m super passionate about wellness! I went from being the girl who only took a packet of Emergen-C when she was feeling yucky, to having a cabinet full of supplements to reach for and a solid, consistent routine of supplements I take every single day!
these supplements have completely changed my health game, and helped me feel and function my very best – from energy levels to hair & nail growth, normal digestion, immune support, muscle recovery – the list literally goes on and on!
if there was just ONE supplement I would recommend for you right off the bat, it would be ningxia red! ningxia red is a powerhouse of antioxidants and nutrients made from the wolfberry, which has one of the highest antioxidant values of any food ever tested! one oz of ningxia has the antioxidant equivalent of eating 8 whole oranges!
Plus it comes in packets and Im a sucker for anything that's one time use!
DITCH & SWITCH CHECKLIST
here's a little checklist of areas in your home where you can ditch the toxins + switch to plant based, safer alternatives! instead of buying your cleaning products, personal care items, & supplements from the grocery store, you buy them from YL — we call it transfer buying 👏
the best way to ditch + switch is thru young living's subscribe to save program! it's a completely customizable wellness box delivered straight to your door with the products you choose, with no monthly minimum spend! you can manage your subscription directly in your YL account and add, delete, skip, or change the frequency of the items you want delivered.

is there anything on this list you really want to try?!
LOYALTY REWARDS
the best part of subscribe to save is loyalty rewards!! as long as your subscription order is over 50 PV (which is about $50 dollars) you'll automatically earn loyalty rewards -- which accumulate in your account as rewards points!
you can login whenever you want and spend your points like in store credit for your fav yl products! your first 3 months, you earn 10% back. after that, you earn 20% back until your 25th consecutive month and then it jumps to 25% back!
