What are essential oils?
Essential oils are aromatic, volatile liquids distilled from plants.The oil can be obtained from the roots, seeds, shrub, flowers, leaves and trees and bring health and healing to the body. EO's were mankind's first means of wellness and are in fact mentioned ALL throughout Scripture. The oils are very powerful which is why they are able to reach every part of our bodies on a cellular level. Within minutes of using or breathing in an oil, they can be found in every organ in your body!
How do I use them?
There are three main ways to use essential oils: Aromatically, Topically, & Internally.
Aromatically: Diffusing essential oils is one of my favorite ways to benefit from essential oils because it's so easy! You can add a couple drops of oil into any Young Living Diffuser, or to a cotton ball, or to a pot of boiling water to start breathing in all the benefits oils bring.
Topically: Using oils directly on your skin is another way to benefit from them. I always recommend starting by testing a small area of your skin first and diluting oils with a carrier oil when starting. One of my favorite ways to use oils topically is making roller bottles or putting a roller top on an oily bottle and rolling directly on my skin. We roll Thieves on our feet each night, Panaway + Peppermint on sore muscles, DiGize on tummies when they are aching, etc.
Internally: The third way to use your essential oils is by taking them internally. Young Living makes it super duper easy to distinguish which oils are safe to ingest by adding white labels to all of the Vitality Line oils. You could add a few drops of a vitality oil to a vegetable capsule, to a glass of water, or even to food to add flavor!

Why young living?
I did a ton of research when before diving into using oils, because I knew this was an investment in our health. Young Living BY FAR stood out to me for many reasons and I trust this company whole-heartedly. Here's why we chose Young Living...
First, their Seed to Seal Guarantee. You can click on the link to read more, but to sum it up, Young Living oversees the entire process from the planting of the seed in the ground, to harvesting & distilling the oils from the plant at their peek season, bottling up the oils, and shipping them out to their customers. There's no third party involved in between, which means you are getting therapeutic grade, PURE essential oils. Many oils at big box stores say "pure" essential oils, but only contain a few drops of pure oils and are filled the rest of the way with fillers and fragrances. :( Young Living holds themselves to the highest standards and are committed to giving you & your THE best essential oils.
Young Living is also incredibly generous and I love the heart behind their company. Gary Young, the founder of the Young Living back in 1994, just recently passed away and he left a legacy. Young Living treats us like family. They recently held their annual Grand Convention, and Gary's wife was off stage rocking members babies. This is so much more than a business or oils, this is a family. They love their people so well! They also created a foundation with a mission to meet the needs of others world wide. You can read more on the Gary Young Foundation here.
how do I get started?
Simply click this link and choose the Premium Starter Kit of your choice! Starter Kit choices shown below. :) Head back to the oils page for a step by step guide to walking you through grabbing your kit!
Do i have to sell them?
This is one of the most common questions when it comes to creating your Young Living account. You absolutely do not have to sell anything. Seriously, there's no obligation, ever! Pinky promise. If you choose to, there is an incredible business opportunity available at no added cost to you, but that is totally optional!
Does it matter who I grab my starter kit from?
Yes yes yes! I just recently did an instagram story on this on my oily account (@simplyoilytribe). One of the things I didn't realize when I grabbed my starter kit, was that when you grab your kit, you are joining a team and oily community. Not all teams are the same, and who you grab your kit from can make a huge impact on your oily journey. The heart of our team is providing you education and resources to make it simple for you to get the most out of your Young Living Membership.
I have been so blessed by our oily community, and get to lead the most incredible girls over at the Simply Oily Tribe. One of my favorite things to do is to spoil my tribe and send them fun happy mail. I get so many messages from sweet friends saying they wish they could be on our team or have access to the resources we provide, and I SO want that for each and every one of you. I encourage you to do your research before grabbing your starter kit and find a team that is going to serve and love you well! I would love to have you in our tribe and there is always room for you at the table friend. If you'd like to join our community simply click the link above and grab your kit! I can't wait to love on you!
Is there a monthly minimum?
There are no monthly minimums to having a wholesale membership. The only thing you need to do to keep your account active is placing an order 50PV once a YEAR! If for some reason you don't love your oils and don't ever place an order after your starter kit, your account simply goes inactive. No strings attached.
WHAT IF I'm overwhelmed?
I shared a little bit about this above, but the heart of our team is to provide you purposeful resources and education to help you make the most of your oils! I was so overwhelmed when I first grabbed my kit, but I focused on just starting with ONE oil. :) Use peppermint the next time your head is throbbing, or lavender in the diffuser to sleep soundly at night. Pick one oil or one area where you could use support and look up one oil to help. :) I am ALWAYS here, for any and ever question you may have along the way too. :) Don't hesitate to reach out with questions! We can chat via instagram @simpyoilytribe or shoot me an email at rachel@beautifulseasonco.com
What is essential rewards?
Essential Rewards is Young Living's Rewards Program. I always recommend to each and every friend on our team that they hop on Essential Rewards right away! Perks of Essential Rewards?
- Free oils each month for reaching different tiers
- Free gifts at 3,6,9, and 12 months of Essential Rewards orders
- 10% back in points for the first 4 months, and then 20% back after that! That means if you place an order of $100, Young Living will give you $20 to spend on almost any oils or YL products of your choice! It's THE BEST!
- Cheaper shipping
It's a no brainer. :) With Essential Rewards there is a monthly minimum of 50PV (you can cancel it at any time with no strings attached) but 50PV is SO easy to do each month just by grabbing a few products we would normally buy for our home anyways (think cereal, laundry detergent, toothpaste, all purpose cleaner, etc.) AND we get rewarded for it! AND we know that all of Young Living's products are plant based and free of toxins. It's a win win all around. :)
You can sign up for Essential Rewards when you grab your starter kit (directions on the main oils page). If you already have your kit, simply log in to your account, go to your dashboard, and click "Essential Rewards" on the left hand side to sign up!
Stay tuned for an Essential Rewards Guide, fun print out, and bundle ideas on what to order coming soon! :)
