Easy Christmas Gifts From Young Living
Did you know a lot of things have changed in the ways you can order from Young Living?
If you’ve looked into becoming a part of Young Living Essential Oils before, then you probably remember something about having to start out with a premium Starter kit, in order to unlock the wholesale prices on the products. Those kits are still available and a fantastic way to try out some of our favorite oils and products BUT no longer do you HAVE to order one of kits to get started.
Now, in order to get access to the amazing wholesale prices, all you have to do is order 100pv (about $100) in your first order OR set up a subscribe and save, a monthly subscription with at least one product in it (this is awesome for those items we use all the time, like deodorant, laundry detergent, hand soap, toothpaste, etc…). Wala, You get the benefits of joining Young Living and get to completely customize the items you get to try out! Oh, and You’ll keep those benefits for a whole year!
May I suggest a fun way to take advantage of all these new benefits?
How about getting some of your Christmas shopping done at the same time? (Don’t forget to add some fun things for yourself) let me show you some of my suggestions for easy gifts this Christmas!
These Christmas gifts would be perfect for a hostess gift or coworker. Those hard-to-buy for family members or friends! There are even some great options for your friends with new babies. And stocking stuffer ideas too!

Switching To Mineral Makeup
I’m going to do it, I’m switching to Mineral Makeup! Not going to lie, I’m a little nervous and really hope I like it!
Have you ever tried switching to Mineral Makeup?
I’ve never been all that fussy about makeup, Didn’t even start wearing it until I was already an adult. But, I enjoy that it makes me feel pretty and put together and I’ve learned to have fun with things like eye shadows and lipstick!!
Young Living has quickly become a part of our life, in every aspect. And you’ll find products from Young Living in nearly every room in our home (in both cars too) And now, you’ll even find Young Living in my make up bag.
Switching To Mineral Makeup
So Why switch?
We really have been becoming more aware of the products and toxins we use in our daily lives. Swapping as many items with synthetic fragrances and other unknown ingredients out for more natural products.

Home Made Liquid Laundry Detergent
I’ve never made my own home made liquid laundry detergent but, have always wanted to. I suppose I thought it involved a lot of steps and mess and just didn’t feel like tackling it, Until today!
And the only reason I even attempted to make home made liquid laundry detergent today, was because I found this awesome ingredients list and instructions that make it a whole lot easier than I ever thought it could be.
First let me tell you about some of the reasons why I want to have my own homemade liquid laundry detergent
Laundry detergent is one of the most toxic, chemically laden products in our homes.
The Think Dirty app lists most of them as 8 or 9 on their toxic ratings.
listing problematic ingredients such as
- Fragrance – possible Carcinogen, possible allergic reactions
- Sodium Borate (also known as Borax) – Respiratory and sin irritation.
- Alcohol Ethoxy Sulfate – skin irritation.
- Diethylene Glycol – pregnant women use with precaution. this is restricted for use in cosmetics in Canada and completely banned in other countries. * a note here to say this ingredient is in Tide!! Did you know that? I sure didn’t!!
The last store bought detergent I had been using had over 30 ingredients!! With other leading brands having as many as 45 different ingredients!!!!
Now let’s look at the ingredients I’m using to make my home made liquid laundry detergent.
- Washing Soda, Arm & Hammer
- Baking Soda
- Thieves Laundry Soap – from Young Living
- Thieves Household Cleaner – from Young Living
- essential Oils (optional but so great!)
- Water
And that’s it! Now, not only do I know what is in my home made laundry detergent, but It’s so easy to mix together!!
Continue reading to find out how to make it or you can watch this video ( I wasn’t going to post this video, I’ve never recorded a video with my kiddos “help” and it’s not the way I wanted it to be. but hopefully it helps you see how easy it is to make this! and maybe a peak into real life over here)

It’s Fall!
That means, cool air, beautiful colors, my favorite cozy clothes… and if you are like me it also means.. headaches, itchy eyes, ear aches, scratchy throat… etc.
For awhile it just became routine that once the wind started up, I would need antibiotics for ear infections and congestion.. almost annually. Definitely puts a damper on the wonder of the season.
But, now that I have young living oils available to me… I haven’t been on antibiotics for my seasonal issues in about 4 years!!! seriously!!
Here’s how I use my favorite oils for my most useful purpose!! Read More
Seasonal relief with out medication…

#2: BETTER
Become a Wholesale Member. Here’s a list of why this is a BETTER choice……
- You can get the Basic Kit (comes with NO diffuser and just one bottle of oil) OR get the Premium Starter Kit which includes 11 essential oils (5ml bottles have about 80-100 drops), a diffuser of your choice, a roller fitment, 10 empty sample bottle drams, 2 NingXia Red pouches, oil samples, and more!
- You’ll have access to informative, educational Facebook groups (It is a really awesome community where we talk about healthy living and how to best use essential oils as a natural way to support health and wellness for ourselves and our families.) and our team website that has tons of resources and information about Young Living Essential Oils.
- The retail cost of this kit is over $300! But since Young Living wants new members to get the full experience of oils, they offer this to you at a huge discount (see info graphic below).
- You will receive 24% off of everyday prices. There is NO obligation to “sell” or order regularly. Just enjoy your products at a lower price. If a year comes up and you’re still loving your oils and want to continue to be an active YL member, just purchase another 50pv (which equals about $50) worth of products and you’ll be set to go! Kinda like renewing your membership at a superstore or Amazon Prime, except they give you an updated membership and Young Living gives you actual products that you want. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me!

Essential Oils With Young Living
Why do I use essential oils for my family?
We were introduced to essential oils and Young Living a few years ago. I had heard about essential oils a lot and I just knew they could be beneficial to our family. It makes a lot of sense to me that God’s creation is so detailed and perfectly designed that plants and herbs can truly help us in so many ways!
I was excited to get my first starter kit!! But still it took me a long time to really start incorporating the oils into our daily lives. Once I really jumped in I really didn’t know why I had waited so long.
Fast Forward to today and we use oils many times a day.. most of the time it’s become so much a habit, I don’t even think about it.
From air freshener to immune boosting… help with yucky tummies or just flavoring my water… essential oils from Young Living are all over our house! 🙂 And I wouldn’t want it any other way!
Some of our favorite ways to use Essential oils:
- Boys Calming Roller – Stress Away and Lavendar *helps mommas too! 🙂
- Disinfect Carpet Spray – Purification and Orange in a spray bottle.
- Laundry Freshener – Purification
- Immune Booster – Thieves
- Seasonal Relief – Lavender, Peppermint, and Lemon
- Vitality line in my water for flavoring, in our baked goods! Even in home made ginger ale and lemonade!
We all love our oils!!
William’s favorite is stress away and lavendar! He loves the smell and it really is a soothing scent when he is having a hard time containing all of his energy and emotions! 🙂
What are essential oils?
So, what ARE essential oils?
Essential oils are the living fluid (sometimes we call it the “life-blood”) inside the plant that acts as their immune system. These plant fluids are the regenerating, oxygenating, and immune-strengthening properties of plants. They are necessary for the plant to live and contain vibrational energy that helps to give them therapeutic properties. When these fluids are distilled and extracted using a highly regulated, low-heat, slow-steam process and then used topically, aromatically or internally, they can help bring that vibrational energetic level that is lacking in our bodies back into balance. Essential oils are composed of microscopic molecules that are able to penetrate into the DNA/cellular level of every cell in our body (even crossing the blood-brain barrier) and can help to support our body’s natural healing systems.
Pretty amazing, right?
BUT – be warned! Not all essential oils are created equal. Many of us started out by using health food store essential oils thinking that there wasn’t any difference. Oils found at the health food store are usually aromatic-grade oils meant for smelling, not for topical use and definitely not for internal use. Many store bought oils contain additives or synthetics or may have been distilled in a way that doesn’t guarantee a high quality of therapeutic constituents. That’s why it is so important to know where your oils come from, how they are distilled and how they are processed. You definitely get what you pay for. Truly pure & natural quality essential oils do cost more. Cheaper essential oil products that are legally labeled as “100% Pure” are actually only required to have 5% of the essential oil present in their product. When you consider that it takes 22 pounds of rose petals to make a 5mL bottle of Rose oil, you can start to understand why the real thing costs more.
This is why I personally use Young Living Essential Oils. They have a Seed to Seal guarantee that ensures that from the dirt (no pesticide residue) to the seed (no GMOs) to the harvest time and procedure (sometimes in the daytime, sometimes at night, sometimes by hand/tool/machine) to the distillation process (slow steam, low heat, one distillation, medical grade stainless steel machinery) to the multitude of testing to ensure only the highest quality and purity to the bottling of the product – everything is overseen and quality is ensured. NO other essential oil company owns their own farms or partners with farms that are willing to live up to Young Living’s high standards. Owning farms all over the world gives Young Living the ability to truly know what the product is that they’re selling – and that my friends, is what made me fall in love with these oils.
