Introducing Young Living — Essential Oils & Safe Household Products
0

Are you familiar with the company Young Living? Don’t worry, I wasn’t familiar with them until recently when I discovered their products on Instagram (of course!).

Young Living sells the cleanest & most premium essential oils in the world. Never in a million years did I think I would get into these little bottles of heaven but they seriously are life changing! Not only are essential oils great for immune support but they also help skin support, sleep support, emotional support, anxiety & so on!

In addition to their essential oils and why I really wanted to start selling Young Living is because they also produce toxic-free and safe household products. I can’t believe how hard it is for us as consumers to find products that are actually safe for our bodies and are safe to consume on a daily basis.

So today I wanted to share with you guys how you can get started with the Young Living products!

My number one recommendation is to start with the starter kit — you’ll get 11 essential oils, a diffuser and samples of the Thieves household cleaner and nutrient-packed wolfberry supplement we all drink everyday, Ningxia Red. If you’re not into essential oils but are more interested in their household items, there’s also a starter kit for their Thieves line which I also highly, highly recommend!

A few quick questions you might be asking yourself! 

Why Young Living and not the cheaper ones from Amazon?

Young Living is the leader in the essential oils movement and as they say, not all oils are created equally.  With YL’s “Seed to Seal” standards you can rest assured your family will be using the highest quality product without ANY dilution or chemical additives. This is really important because you are breathing in these oils on a daily basis. Also, think of the essential oil as the immune system of the plant. It supports the growth and life of the plant from seed to flower and what we are getting is the distilled oil to use for our benefit. For more information read here.

Okay, I want the oils, what do I do from here? 

If you’d like to get involved with oils, it’s best to sign up as a member and purchase the starter kit. You do not have to sell oils or become a member!

It just means you are getting a starter kit for more than 50% off & will get 24% off retail prices on every oil, forever (totally worth it!).

SO to sign up, ORDER HERE and make sure the number 18069910 appears in both the “Enroller” and “Sponsor ID” fields and choose wholesale member.

What should I get?

I recommend starting with the premium starter kit (like I did).  This will give you 11 of the most common oils and a diffuser (there is a standard diffuser model for free with purchase or you can upgrade to others available on the site).

The best part — the starter kit gives you about $360 worth of product for only $160!! From there you can always add more, but it’s the perfect way to jump in and start learning!

I think I’d like to sell oils with you… Fab!! You can sign up through this link!

Winter Wardrobe Essentials

Screen Shot 2015-03-07 at 10.40.43 AM

With frigid temperatures here in the city, we’ve been minimizing our time outdoors. Yesterday was great as we hunkered down, watched Tidying Up, and made chili!

I thought it was only appropriate to share my winter wardrobe essentials. If there’s one must-have / must-buy it’s a Canada Goose. I try to pick one out right before the holidays & forget it, they were sold out everywhere. So! If you see a style you like & it’s available in your size, I’d highly recommend jumping on it if you’re in the market for a super warm coat that will last you for years to come!

Other winter wardrobe essentials — love this green hat, this Women’s Quilted Quarter Zip Pullover, and this Halogen Scarf. I can’t live without these L.L. Bean Women’s Bean Boots and these Nordstrom Cashmere Lined Leather Touchscreen Gloves.

What are some of your winter wardrobe essentials?

Tidying Up | Over 18 Items To Help You Spark Joy & Get Organized Like Marie Kondo

The Art of Tidying Up Book Marie Kondo Method | The Life Changing Method of Tidying Up

One of my girlfriends, Jill, told me years ago about Marie Kondo and her life changing method of tidying up and how it transformed her life for the better. I’ll never forget she was living with 2 other girlfriends in a tiny New York City apartment where they put up a fake wall. As you could imagine, this was right after we graduated college so living in that small of a space wasn’t out of the ordinary and they ultimately made it work! I swear Jill implementing the Konmari Method within her tiny bedroom made the space appear larger and overall, light and airy.

Now fast forward 6 years later and Marie Kondo’s successful book The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up has taken Netflix audiences by storm and has set off a de-cluttering craze around the world! I can’t stop sharing with friends and family the tips and tricks I’ve learned about how to tidy up with the Konmarie Method.

Today I’ve rounded up over 18 items that can help spark joy, help you tidy up & ultimately get organized. You can shop all of these items at the Container Store — a few of my favorites highlighted below!

I know Marie Kondo will be so proud of us! Happy tidying. Xx. Lauren
