A year ago, I began taking my family’s wellness a lot more seriously. After downloading the Think Dirty app on my phone, I was learning more about how to ditch all of our store-bought items and switch them over to toxin-free choices. Cleaners that will not be messing with our hormones. Holistic solutions for dealing with illnesses. Supporting every body system with essential oils, homemade recipes, and all-natural products.
We get what we like to call a Monthly Wellness Box. Young Living calls this Essential Rewards. But our team has coined the phrase “Monthly Wellness Box” because that’s exactly what it is. We order monthly, get to customize our order each month, and are currently receiving 20% (out of a possible 25%) back in reward points for each order. Now, tell me if that isn’t the best rewards program ever!
My May order was packed full of items for my bathroom routine. I struggle with acne, and I’ve recently found a great skin regimen that my face is really loving. So I stocked up on ALL the good things for my skin!
Young Living has their own skin line that has completely rocked my world. They call it the ART line. I order their ART Light Moisturizer on a monthly basis. It’s one that I treat myself to, because it is a little on the pricey side. But y’all, if you’re already spending top dollar on Clinique, Proactive, Rodan and Fields, or other top brands, this is the ultimate ditch and switch because it’s actually HEALTHY for your skin without any toxic chemicals or fragrances. It is infused with amazing essential oils for your skin like Purple Orchid, Prickly Pear, Frankincense, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, and more.
The ART Toner by Young Living is something I recently added to my skincare regimen. It was the turning point for my acne control. I never want to run out of this. Ever. So I snagged two this month. And with ingredients like Peppermint essential oil, Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood essential oil, Green Tea leaf extract, and Lemon Peel, I know that my skin is getting the proper nourishment it needs.
There is also an ART Gentle Facial Cleanser that I’ve never tried. Instead, I have been using the Orange Blossom Face Wash by Young Living for going on two months now. It is so gentle on my sensitive skin. I absolutely love it! This one tends to sell out because it’s so popular. I stocked up and ordered two of these as well.
Moving on with body care items. Young Living has a large selection of amazing body care products. We have quite literally ditched all of our old bathroom products and switched over to all things Young Living. We are so incredibly thankful for a company who cares about the ingredients in their products. I’m no longer spending so much time researching ingredients. Trying to find a non-toxic product from a store.
Mint Satin Facial Scrub by Young Living is a new-to-me skin care product that I’m really looking forward to trying. It’s all the rage among our team members. So super excited about this one.
Dragon Time Massage Oil is also a new-to-me product from Young Living. I hear it’s really great for taming those crazy hormones while Aunt Flo’s in town. It’s meant for women, #obvi. So I’m really excited to try this next month!
Lavender Shampoo has become a favorite of mine. This shampoo is one of three different selections from Young Living. I started out using their Lavender Mint Shampoo. But one month it was out of stock, and I had to switch things up. So I tried the Lavender Shampoo, and absolutely loved it. I feel like it’s better suited for my thinner hair.
And now we move on to Thieves! Young Living has entire Thieves cleaning line! If you have ever taken the time to research all of the ingredients in today’s cleaning products (which you definitely should), you would be appalled by all of the harmful things that have no place in our home or around our children.
Thieves Laundry Soap has become one of my favorite things. This powerful laundry soap is so concentrated, that one little bottle can tackle 64 loads of laundry! I have piece of mind that the clothes we are wearing on our bodies aren’t housing hidden toxins and fragrances.
And then for the “Mac Daddy” of them all: Thieves Household Cleaner. This is the single most important ditch and switch item that we have implemented into our home. Lysol, Windex, Bleach, Scrubbing Bubbles – they’ve all been kicked to the curb because of this one little bottle. If you could only choose one product from Young Living, this is the guy you want. And because it is a 100% plant-based cleaner, it is also 100% safe for all surfaces in your home. This includes hardwood floors, granite countertops, and even your kid’s toys. Yes, you can clean your children’s toys with this. In fact, if your child ever decides to ingest this cleaner, no need to call 911. Just make sure they drink plenty of water to flush it out of their system.
Phew, that was a lot! A whole household full of ditch and switch items. That’s all it takes; just one month at a time. Ditching and switching is a journey. We’re not completely done, but we’re making progress each and every month.
But we’re still not done. Because Young Living is the amazing company that they are, they reward us for investing in our family’s wellness by giving us free products each month based on the amount we spend. I always snag the most rewards I can. I mean, when I get back just as much in free product and rewards as I spend per month, it’s kind of a no-brainer.
Most of the time, the monthly promos are products I’ve never tried before. I love it! It allows me to try new things without spending extra money on them. It’s a win-win. I snagged 6 bottles of essential oils for free this month:
- Lime Vitality – great for adding to your favorite guacamole or beer of choice!
- Peace & Calming – perfect for relaxing, sleep, and calming nervousness
- Eucalyptus Radiata – awesome for respiratory support and gentle enough for the kiddos
- Clarity – this is a really good one for focusing during a long workday or during your kids’ homework time
- Thieves – hands down, the best essential oil you could have on hand at all times for boosting your immune system
- Juniper – a new-to-me essential oil great for your digestive system, emotional balance, nervous system and skin!
So there you have it! All things good for you. All from one company. Delivered straight to your door. Young Living has proven themselves to us as the leading essential oils company. They care about their ingredients. They care about their people. There’s literally no other company out there for us when it comes to our wellness and toxin-free living.
