DO I HAVE TO ORDER MONTHLY?
No monthly commitment– essential rewards is optional! You can literally just order your starter kit and that is it! Then if you want more lavender a couple months later you can just pop on and buy lavender at wholesale!
No renewal fee; (simply purchase a minimum of $50pv of product per year and your account stays active)
No order minimum – order whenever you like, as often as you like, with your 24% off membership discount.
DO I HAVE TO SELL YOUNG LIVING?
Although Young Living calls their wholesale customers “Distributors” this does NOT mean that you are signing up to sell oils and there is absolutely no pressure to do so – ever.
Member number - you’ll get a member # & link to share with friends; if they order using your member number, you’ll receive compensation- if you join essential rewards and spend $100pv a month. (Again, enrolling as a “Distributor” does NOT mean that you have to share oils with anyone; although, once you discover how wonderful they are, it will be hard not to tell your friends!)
WHY DOES YOUNG LIVING COST MORE THAN OILS ON AMAZON?
I could say a whole bunch about this topic, but I'll bring it back to QUALITY. And the "Seed to Seal" promise. Google it, I'll wait! You can personally visit any of the Young Living farms, see the process, and know exactly what is going in your oil bottles. Suffice it to say, producing pure oils & maintaining organic farms & taking care of employees is costly. So what are you actually paying for? Quality. Effectiveness. Purity.
Amazon/Target/any other store that sells essential oils can sell them at a cheaper price because they aren't 100% oil. The power of the essential oil is incredibly diluted by whatever fillers the bottle may contain. Not only that, but they can be contaminated & not even healthy to apply/inhale. Yuck.
Basically, you get what you pay for.
ESSENTIAL REWARDS
When placing your order on STEP 1– select the tiny box “use my starter kit as my first essential rewards order” ** If you want to add to your order you can to get the promos for that month ($100 of your starter kit will count towards this months promo).
Then make sure to go in and customize your essential rewards order BEFORE the next month comes (you will get an email notification).
I recommend Essential Rewards over doing “quick orders” each month. Essential Rewards ends up costing around $50 for 50pv. Bundle all the items you want & place it on your essential rewards order and get the promos!
Scoring monthly promos has helped me stockpile my oil shelf much faster & more affordably. Remember to check back, the promos change with the 1st of each month!
You get 10-20% back in points each month, you can purchase products that you would be buying anyways (shampoo, vitamins, toothpaste) while hitting that 50 PV (Product value – typically one point per one dollar). Cancel anytime!!
For the United States, the gifts from young living are:
3-month gift: Peppermint Vitality essential oil, 5 ml
6-month gift: Thieves Vitality™ essential oil blend, 5 ml
9-month gift: Melaleuca Alternifolia essential oil, 15 ml
12-month gift: Loyalty, an exclusive blend formulated by Young Living Founder D. Gary Young specifically for Essential Rewards members who order for 12 months!
WHAT SHOULD I ORDER NEXT?
I'll answer your question with a question, what is most important to you to build up next? Your cleaning closet? Your make-up supply? Supplements? More oils?
I build my own order every month to hit at least one of the promos (most bang for my buck with things I need to order anyway)! It's basically like picking out my Christmas list.
Here are some of my must-haves outside the starter kit:
+ THIEVES HOUSEHOLD CLEANER | this will revolutionize your cleaning, seriously. One capful goes a long way into keeping your house squeaky clean & smelling like Christmas.
+ GRAPEFRUIT LIP BALM | the best lip balm you'll ever use. I'm not lying.
+ PROGESSENCE PLUS | hellllooooo happy hormones. This serum was the main game changer for me & my PCOS/fertility probs--it's natural progesterone & an amazing oil combo. I roll it right on my forearms up to 2x a day.
+ DEEP RELIEF ROLLER | byyyyyyee muscle tension. Whether it's post-workout cramps or sitting in the office chair too long, roll this right over those knotty, tension spots for cooling relief.
+ NORTHERN LIGHTS BLACK SPURCE | to me, this woodsy scent is the best emotional support & best for diffusing. Try mixing it with lavender and bergamot--yum!
+ SEEDLING WIPES | gentle, soothing wipes for baby bums & also for quickly taking off my makeup without burning my skin! Infused with lavender & chamomile. We're never without a couple packs.
+ LIFE 9 PROBIOTIC | helps maintain healthy gut bacteria which in turn helps your immune system, skin & so much more! They mean it when they say it all starts in the gut! I take 1 capsule before bed every night.
+ ORANGE | a must-have in your DIY arsenal & diffuser blends, brightens your teeth & your skin
