Why I Chose Young Living

Why I chose Young Living went like this.

As a slap to the face, a new and ugly truth stung me to the core.

I’d been greenwashed.

Hard.

I chose everything so carefully.

All the white, clean, fresh, natural bottles.

And they had all been big fat lies.

Mama on a Mission

There’s something you should know about me as we become friends here.

I’m not your average mama.

I, Andrea Dawn Marshall, am a childhood cancer warrior mother.

I’ve seen things no parent should ever see.

And I don’t play games when it comes to my kids’ health.

So you can imagine the anger that bubbled up inside when I began peeling back the onion of toxic junk in our home I had thought was so safe.

Even more so the war path I set out upon when I learned 90-95% of all cancers are toxin-caused.

And the all out battle plan I drew up when I learned my brand new baby’s cancer was one of the 95%.

Nine Months of Research

No one.

I couldn’t find anyone who wouldn’t spray their plant-based products with pesticides.

Who refused synthetics.

I stood alone in a store aisle with the weight of fighting off relapse with tears streaming down my face.

Then I remembered.

My friend used YL oils.

What if they were different than these other oils full of junk and pesticides?

About a Year Later

The friend who helped me get the best oils on the planet heard I’d walked away from teaching to come home to my boys.

She asked if I’d like to tell people about Young Living however I felt most comfortable.

I’d get a huge part of our home’s needs covered financially.

Cleaning, personal care, over-the-counters, natural remedies, makeup, kid care, and dog care.

All covered when I helped other families become healthy, too.

About a year-and-a-half later I was more than covering this part of our budget.

After taking away a large chunk of our financial stability, this felt amazing.

Even better, we were healthier and paying almost no co-pays anymore.

We saw other families changing and becoming healthier.

I fell in love with this company and their mission bigger than I ever thought possible.

Getting to a Farm

I couldn’t believe it!

I’d made it to the Mona farm in Utah.

I got to see the distillation, the growing, the baby plants, the fields.

And I can’t wait to see more all over the world!

This is me taking the picture and my friend, Laurie, who helped me get started is in the purple shirt.

That trip changed how I viewed not just YL but every company I shop with.

If they could create what they do without pesticides or synthetics or fragrance, so could everyone else.

They became my new standard.

I saw with my own two eyes, deep in the heart of those beautiful mountains, on a gorgeous day in Utah what I was sharing here on my blog and in person with the people I care about most.

And it felt good.

Nerd Alert: I Love the Distillation Process!

Laugh it up, friends.

I’m nerdy for distillation!

It is, in a word, fascinating!

With oil companies popping up like crazy and cheap oils lining grocery store shelves and social media posts, why Young Living?

I learned more about how our founder studied ancient distillation practices as I breathed in the lavender being distilled that day.

Okay, this is going to sound crazy, but…

The whole farm smelled like Fruity Pebbles, and everyone was at max chill.

Lines like crazy. Hours of waiting. And yet…total…calm.

With oil companies popping up like crazy and cheap oils lining grocery store shelves and social media posts, why Young Living?

I was in awe of the huge drums, the oil I could smell and see being made, the steam coming up through the grates.

There were no words.

I just kept walking, eyes wide, taking in all of the careful process.

All too clear was the reason why I could never go back to the way I used to do life.

They’re the first company I’d ever seen actually care about my family’s health.

This was a big deal after all we’d been through.

I Have my Young Living Starter Kit, Now What?

If you've been thinking to yourself, "I have my starter kit, now what?" after getting your start with Young Living, here's the next step.

I Have My Young Living Starter Kit, Now What?

If you’re thinking to yourself, “I have my Young Living Starter Kit, so now what?” you’re in the right place!

A few easy steps to success are up ahead!

Step 1: Get Connected

The way Young Living works is by word of mouth.

Some of us love this way of life so much that we tell everyone we know and help you all along for the ride.

Get connected with what we call your “upline leader” and go to classes both online and in person.

Scroll through their Facebook group to learn something new to apply each day (or week-go at your pace!) that’s easy to add to your life.

If you don’t know who your upline is or where their education group is, ask the person who helped you get started.

Get a Reference Guide

I gift the Essential Oils Reference Guide app to each person who gets their kit because it makes life so simple!

Look up what your new oils can do.

Find what oils you need for a certain issue.

I love how empowering this app is for all new oilers!

Just Use Them!

Put them on.

You won’t do it wrong.

I promise.

Diffuse them.

Use three or four drops in the diffuser.

Use them, and then use them some more.

Consistency creates a new habit and a healthy home in this case!

Plan Ahead

Subscribe and Save is one of the best things our family did.

We save much more with the Young Living lifestyle compared to shopping in store, it’s unreal.

So, use posts like this, your reference guide, or an iTovi scanner to create a list of needs in your home.

Ditch-n-Switch

You get SO MUCH MORE than just a few natural remedies!

We ditch the bandaid mentality and switch to a wellness and proactive way of thinking!

Let me just save you lots of time here.

Everything in your house that isn’t Young Living isn’t safe at its core.

How do I know?

Because everyone but Young Living puts one or both of the following in their products:

  • pesticides (they spray their plant material)
  • synthetics (your body is real and doesn’t handle these well)

Go around the house. Create a list of all the products in your home. Seek out the Young Living product that will let you get rid of it for good.

Or, if you’re in my wonderful tribe of oilers, you can use our cheat sheet in our Facebook group !

Final Thoughts

This lifestyle should be simpler and less expensive.

If you aren’t finding this to be true, talk to your upline about diluting (our products are highly concentrated and like buying in bulk), Essential Rewards, and even a DIY here and there.

This is a hugely rewarding lifestyle that comes with a little learning curve, but one that is simple to navigate if you’ve got a great group to learn alongside!

Need a Tribe?

We’d love to have you!

Get started here.

Ask questions to me directly at andrea@graceblossoms.com.

We’ll take you under our wing and help you learn the ropes!

Get Essential Oils + a Toxin-Free Lifestyle Here

Click HERE for a simple walk through on how to buy the safest essential oils and start a toxin-free lifestyle with Young Living.

Why Young Living Only?

  • Zero pesticides
  • Single distillation
  • Soil hasn’t been touched by pesticides in 50+ years
  • You can go to any farm in the world to see for yourself
  • Zero synthetics
  • Zero fragrance
  • ONLY essential oil
  • BECAUSE YOU ARE READY TO TAKE BACK YOUR HEALTH!

5% Rule

There’s a rule that says companies only have to make sure 5% of the oil in their bottles is actual essential oil to be considered “pure and therapeutic.”

Organic oils can even have synthetics and fragrance added to them under this rule, and do.

Young Living oils are the ONLY oils who never adulterate* their oils and have 100% never changed essential oil.

*I consider spraying plants with any pesticide as adulterating the oil.

Why Care About Pesticides?

Anything you put on your skin is in your bloodstream in 26 seconds.

Choosing an essential oil company outside of Young Living ensures you’ll have those pesticides coursing through your veins as well.

Why spend your money on a temporary fix that makes a long-term problem?

What About Organic Pesticides?

When I say ZERO pesticides, I mean ZERO.

Not even organic pesticides.

Young Living is hand-weeded (or sheep-weeded in some cases like the France Lavender farm!) and this is their above-and-beyond calling they call Seed-to-Seal.

Are They Expensive?

The amazing part about Young Living is the concentration of the oils and over 600+ lifestyle products.

For example, the household cleaner makes 29 spray bottles.

One 15mL bottle of oil has around 300 drops in it.

When you buy a Young Living lifestyle item, you’re adding immense value to your home and saving a ton!

How Do I Know Which Oils I Need?

Most people start with the Premium Starter Kit. It comes with 12 oils, a diffuser, and some samples of other lifestyle products at around half the cost as a bundle/kit.

These 12 oils are called our “Everyday Oils,” and the kit itself comes with a 24% discount on all products for life.

From there, the iTovi scanner {click HERE} and Essential Oils Reference Guide {click HERE) are two must-haves for taking on your new life of proactive living.

How Often Do I Have to Order?

That’s up to you.

Our family can’t possibly pass up the thousands of dollars we save every year with the loyalty program called Essential Rewards (read about it HERE).

You can order once in your whole life and never again, you can order with Essential Rewards, or anywhere in-between.

Do I Have to Sell this Stuff?

Nope.

I personally tell everyone I know (including you!) because it feels like a deep down serious moral obligation to let people know there’s a safe way to live with all the disease in this world. You can be a part of one of the greatest changes in someone’s life, and that’s big.

You decide how and when you share, AND if you do, Young Living will send you a thank you check. No strings. No immediate business you’re roped into. Simply a, “Hey, you helped save a family. Thanks!” bonus check!

You can learn how to utilize the Young Living referral program HERE.

Learn fast truths and how to get the safest oils on the planet. Add value to your home and budget. Feel better. Live well.

What if I Need to Talk This Out?

Email me at andrea@graceblossoms.com, and I’ll answer any questions you have.

This is about YOU.

It’s your decision. Your lifestyle change.

We will go at YOUR pace, within YOUR budget, and with ZERO weird pressure.

I’m Totally Ready. What’s the BEST Way to Start with Young Living?

Premium Starter Kit and Essential Rewards. (Get started HERE).

I will get an email confirming you’ve gotten started.

You’ll have immediate access to our education group online. This is our tribe. We lift each other up. Learn together. Ask questions. And most importantly have FUN!

You will never be alone in this new lifestyle!

Hope to meet you soon!

Learn fast truths and how to get the safest oils on the planet. Add value to your home and budget. Feel better. Live well.

How the iTovi Scanner Rocked Our World

First iTovi Scanner Experience: Skeptical

The first time I saw the iTovi Scanner, I wasn’t so sure about it.

The scan came up for Thieves (among other oils and products leaning toward immune support), which if you’re not familiar with Young Living Essential Oils, is a blend that we use in our home when we’re sick.

I didn’t feel sick at all.

How could this little hand-held device tell me what oils and oil-infused supplements I needed?

I walked out of my friend’s house thinking this iTovi thing was ridiculous.

The next day, however I came down with one of the worst sicknesses I’d ever had.

All of a sudden, this girl was a believer.

If Only

Had I just taken Thieves, diffused it, and put it on topically that night every hour, there’s a chance I could’ve either avoided the sickness that took me down or at least lessened it.

This is why we love our iTovi scanner and have had one for the last year or so now.

iTovi Technology

You can read all about how iTovi works here.

The short version is that it measures the electrical conductivity of your skin to pair you with oils and oil-infused products that will bring your body back to balance.

This galvanic skin response technology isn’t new, but how iTovi is using it is brilliant and super helpful!

Scan Example

The following is a recent scan I did.

You’ll see how amazingly helpful this tool really is.

The first thing you’ll see are your top 7 oils. You can see my top 4 here.

These are the top 7 oils and supplements that I can use to bring my body back to balance.

If you want to dig a little deeper, you can click the “emotions” or “body systems” pages.

Emotions

This part of the scan report is fascinating to me.

Each time I scan, I can either understand why I feel this way, or I am able to take some time to reflect on the past few days and think about what I might be holding onto that I need to release.

This is huge.

Mental health is screaming to be looked at, normalized, and in serious need of real tools that will help.

You can learn more about an emotional release technique I use here.

Body Systems

When I got this report it made total sense.

I knew exactly how I’d been feeling and was hoping for answers and for the scan to help me.

It absolutely did.

It’s amazing what happens when you follow the top oils and dig down into your report to see what oils you have in your arsenal to make your family feel their best.

Using the Scanner

It’s super simple to use.

We scan every 3-4 days, and jot down a quick list for each of us to keep in the kitchen.

It’s amazing to see the patterns forming which really help us unfold the underlying truths behind our health and wellness.

We will use these oils and oil-infused products three or four times per day.

We’ll use the Vita Flex charts and Buttoning to enhance the performance of each product we’re using.
