By now I’m sure every single one of you has seen or heard me talk about essential oils before and maybe you’re like, “Okay okay, enough already.” Or maybe you’re like, “YASSS girl, keep sharing about them!” Whichever category you fall into, hear me out for a minute!
You guys know by now how insanely passionate I am about non-toxic living and using clean and natural products in our home. After learning about the harmful effects conventional products can have on our health and wellbeing, I knew we had to make a change for the sake of our family! Almost 2 years ago, Ryan and I set out on a wellness journey to rid our home of toxins and chemicals and make a switch to more natural products.
I think a common concern most people have is they have no idea where to get started when it comes to living chemical-free or the best way to go about diving in. A lot of people know they want to get their toxic products out of their homes, but they’re not sure how to do it exactly! I can totally understand and relate to how intimidating it can be to make the transition into non-toxic living. That’s why today I am SO beyond excited to share our wellness journey with all of you!
We got started by purchasing a Starter Kit with Young Living. We chose to go with Young Living because they are the world leader in essential oils and essential oil-based products. They own their own farms all over the world where they have full control over where they grow, source, and produce all of their own oils and products. They are also backed by a Seal to Seal guarantee. This promises that from the time your product is a seed to the moment you crack open that bottle of oil, your product has not been compromised by added synthetics, contaminants, fillers, or unethical production practices. Simply put, it is 100% pure essential oil. You can feel good about what you and your family are inhaling or using on your bodies each and every day and know that you are using the highest quality product.
Meet the Starter Kit
Young Living offers a variety of Starter Kits for you to choose from. Everything from oils to non-toxic household products, makeup, and even CBD! Their most popular Starter Kit is the Premium Starter Kit-this is what we opted for in the beginning! The Starter Kits bundle everything together that you need to get started! Hence the name…(haha).
The Premium Starter Kit comes with:
- A diffuser of your choice
- A sample of Thieves Spray
- 1 Thieves Hand Sanitizer
- 2 packets of Ningxia (antioxidant drink)
- 2 roller tops
- Membership to Young Living: this grants you access to 24% off anything you purchase from Young Living, the opportunity to enroll in Essential Rewards, and the option to take advantage of the compensation plan if you choose to do so
- And of course…the oils!

- Peace & Calming: brings a sense of calm and relaxation, perfect for mamas during that “witching hour”, wind down at the end of the day, diffuse in kid’s rooms during bedtime
As crazy as it is to say, these little bottles have helped us so much over the last two years. From sleep and stress to aches, pains, emotions, hormones, skincare, and even energy. These bottles really opened us up to this world of non-toxic living. And that’s what the Starter Kit is intended to do! It’s exactly that…you’re starting point. It’s your gateway into a brand new lifestyle. One that’s cleaner, healthier, happier, and more intentional.
From Here…
From here, we joined Young Living’s loyalty program, Essential Rewards and began placing monthly orders. I started replacing things that I was already using in my home for products from Young Living. This was a process that I did slowly- it definitely wasn’t something that happened overnight. And I feel like this is a fear that a lot of people have when it comes to going non-toxic! The worry that it’s all-or-nothing. Just remember that you don’t need to do it all at once! Trying to put pressure on yourself to completely clear-house and start from scratch can be super overwhelming and of course, expensive!
For me personally, I’m definitely someone who is more on the frugal side. I did not want to throw out items that were half-full or still usable. So, here’s what I did: When I noticed we were running low on something in our house (for example dish soap or laundry detergent), I would go ahead and add those products into my next Essential Rewards order. When I finished my current supply of whatever I was using, I then made the switch to the Young Living product. It took us about a year to fully replace all of the conventional products in our home to a non-toxic version, but I am so happy with the overall transition!
Something that is super important to remember is, what we put in our bodies is just as important as what we put on them. Just think for a second what kinds of toxins or chemicals are in all of the detergents, perfumes, lotions, soaps, air fresheners, candles, and the list goes on.. #scary. But, by switching all of our household items to products from Young Living, we were able to replace all of that garbage with 100% pure ingredients! Things that we have started buying from Young Living include laundry detergent, dish soap, household cleaners, toothpaste, body lotions, shampoo & conditioner, body wash, makeup, vitamins & supplements, hand soaps, and more! Young Living now serves as our one-stop-shop to everything non-toxic and chemical-free. Plus with Essential Rewards, we are earning free products, getting points back with each order, and everything gets delivered right to our doorstep. See ya later, Target Red Card!
What we put in our bodies is just as important as what we put on them.
