How To Get Started With Essential Oils and Non-Toxic Living
If you’re anything like me, you never used to care about the ingredients in your home cleaning and cosmetic care products. As a dietitian I always cared about what I put INTO my body and it wasn’t until recently I learned that it’s equally important to pay attention to what I put ON or AROUND my body in my environment when it comes to health! If you’re ready to start being an informed consumer, check out this FREE EBook that I’ve put together explaining my experience and research takeaways in this subject!

Look at you, putting your wellness first! I am so excited for you…
First of all, you will NOT regret taking the plunge. It is an amazing process and very rewarding in terms of your health and wellness! Once you start using your oils and other nontoxic products, you’ll become a believer in what they do for you AND also how chemical-filled conventional (or green-washed) products really could be impacting your overall health. I was skeptical of doing this for almost a YEAR because I saw a MLM and wanted to run for the hills… but man I should have jumped on board sooner because it’s made all the difference for me and my family.
Essential oils are great, and Young Living has even MORE to offer. From hair, body, dental, and facial care to makeup products, house cleaning, baby products, supplements and more- Young Living has ALL your bases covered. YL is a one stop shop for all your ditch and switch needs. Plus you get so many educational resources and the science behind nontoxic living. There are A LOT of essential oils companies out there, but I chose Young Living for multiple reasons- one stop shopping being just ONE of many. You can read more on that here.
So, how do you get started? With a starter kit of course!
To get started with essential oils through Young Living, the best way is to start with a premium starter kit (PSK). You can sign up here . Not only is this the most economical way to start, but also will give you a taste of some of the most popular products Young Living has! You’ll get your choice of diffuser (I started with the desert mist, but also highly recommend Aria… she’s a beauty and does more than just diffuse- though this is a more expensive option), 12 essential oils for your toolbox (including some of the most versatile like lemon, lavender, peppermint, and frankincense just to name a few…), Thieve’s sample cleaning products, and Ningxia Red sample packets!
There is also an option to sign up as retail customer – as retail you unfortunately do not have access to the starter kit, and you also don’t get the 24% discount. Since there’s no strings attached with signing up to become a member, it’s kind of silly to go the retail route.
If you want to get the most bang for your buck, go with the membership and starter kit here
Make sure you fill out your enrollment using my enroller ID, which is 15803542 so that I am aware you made an order and can get you all the educational materials and help you in your journey! It does make a difference with who you sign up with- our team has TONS of educational materials that teach you how to USE your oils as you start this journey and make sure you are getting the MOST bang for your buck!
When you purchase a PSK through Young Living, you’ll also get:
24% off with your membership. Creating a membership just means you’re using an email and password to sign in. Easy peasy. You can sign up here
Absolutely no strings attached though- you don’t have to sell products, or ever buy anything ever again if you don’t want to. No mandatory monthly fees, minimums, or penalties. Promise.
The PSK gives you over $400 retail worth of products… for $165. I highly recommend you start with a PSK for this reason. For example, if you were to just buy a YL diffuser and 1 bottle of frankincense this would be about $140 (including your 24% off membership)… and with the starter kit you get both of those and 11 other oils and several more samples of products you’ll LOVE. No brainer.
Signing up with someone like me (enroller ID is 15803542) means access to an ENTIRE epic community FILLED with educational resources and research to back it up. There’s nothing worse than spending $165 on things you know have the ability to change your life but without any resources on how to use them!! When you sign up with my team, not only do you get a bunch of amazing products, but you also get to learn how to use them! If you’re only using oils to diffuse because they smell good, that’s great, but that’s not even brushing the SURFACE of potential uses and benefits in store!! Join this community full of incredibly knowledgeable people and start learning- it’s so fun! We all genuinely love talking about this stuff too and are happy to answer all your questions. There’s health professionals, stay at home mom bosses, dad bosses, science nerds, teachers and educational professionals, yogis, wellness enthusiasts, business pros and everything in between kin our community! When I started, I knew very little about this stuff but in the past 2 years my knowledge has grown exponentially for the better thanks to this community.
OPTIONAL- join the Essential Rewards program and use your PSK as your first order to earn 10% back in points! I encourage everyone to do this because you get 10% of your money back to use for more stuff- this is basically store credit and you can cancel this at any time with no penalty…more on that below.
FAQs
Okay, I’m obsessed..how do I restock my oils & try new products?
Great question. The answer for that is the Essential Rewards program (ER). While being a YL member does not require any kind of monthly minimum/is not a subscription service, you do have the option to join ER, which is. And if you’re going to continue to purchase Young Living oils & products, this seriously is the way to go!! Here’s why I signed up:
For each ER order you place you rack up loyalty points (anywhere from 10-25% depending on how long you’ve been subscribed), which can be later used as cash for more YL products. Store credit! 10-25% is way better than any rewards program I’ve ever been apart of like say… Target at 5%. If you use your PSK as your first order and set up products you’d like in your next order (which you can change at any time and this will NOT be charged to your card until the processing date you chose), you’ll get 10% back off your PSK to use as store credit. Free money!
There are promos each month, so when you place your monthly order to restock your favorites, you’ll get free oils and/or products in the mail as well! I have gotten to try so many oils and products for FREE because of this! It’s like a monthly present to open up and sometimes it’s a product I was planning to buy anyway- win win!
Everything comes straight to your door (with discounted shipping) no running here, there & everywhere to stock up on the products you need. You can also sign up for YLGo which is essentially similar to Amazon Prime for YL.
You get loyalty gifts along with your order at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.
You get the peace of mind knowing everything is safe, clean, and free of toxins for you & your family
All you have to do to remain enrolled is place a 50PV order (PV=purchase volume, for most items 1 PV = $1) each month. So that could be a few oils, a few products from the Thieves line, some all natural non-toxic makeup, another diffuser, etc. For me personally, I enrolled in ER to not only keep my oil collection growing, but also to gradually and realistically replace all of my toxic & potentially harmful household & personal care products. As I run out of each not-so-clean product, I will replace it with the safe, natural YL alternative. AKA the ditch & switch!
Just to put this into perspective, if you run out of Lavender and Lemon and Peppermint in the first month after you get your PSK like I did, these would cost ~58PV to replace and could count as an ER order where you’ll earn money back on that order for store credit. Obsessed with Ningxia? Order your monthly stock and this could also count as your 50PV ER order. Let me know what questions you have on this!
Do I have to sell this stuff?
NOPE! Absolutely not. You never have to buy anything again if you don’t want to and you most certainly do not have to sell anything.
What if I want to share this oily community with my family or friends?
You absolutely can! If you start using your oils, can’t stop talking about them, and your mom wants to buy a starter kit? She can do that through you! It’s a very natural process. Just give her your member number when she signs up and Young Living will give you $50 as a thank you! If you do not want to go this route, you can also send family and friends my way and I’d be happy to help them get started.
Overwhelmed? So was I when I found this whole secret world and jumped in- but there’s SO MUCH good info to learn. It’s a process and I am so excited for you to jump right in! Let me know what questions you have, if you want to sign up and get your PSK, click here , and wait for your magical oils to arrive in the mail while I start providing you with educational resources and any support you may need!
Have a great day and stay well,
Holley
