I started my oily journey right after my son Jackson was born. I was breastfeeding, sick, and did not want to take anything that could possibly be spread to Jackson, whether my doctor said it was safe or not. I was introduced to oils by a friend and felt the relief instantly. In that moment I decided to make a life change for myself and my son, that included Young Living.

We have been blessed by our oils in so many ways. My entire family has been healthier, we haven't been sick in over a year, thanks to oils that are now paid for every month! We turn quickly to lavender and coconut oil for diaper rash, and it is cleared up with only a couple of applications! I don't have to worry about reading labels to make sure products are safe for use on babies, because all of my family's needs are taken care of with oils.

No more bug spray, no more over the counter medicine, no more harsh cleaners for us, all of this has been replaced by Young Living oils. It makes me smile when Jackson sees my husband or I using oils and comes up and asks for some too.

We are definitely an oily family and are thankful that we can give the gift of Young Living Oils to our son as well.

I love the fact that as we grow healthy we have the opportunity to grow financially fit. Over the next few months we will be focusing on a few of our Oola Goals. This month is Finance!

At the End of May I will draw from the members who have spent $190PV or more and the lucky person will receive the Oola Finance Oil Blend. Please watch Natalie McMurry from Delaware as she shares with us what residual income is and why you want it!

Love your oils but not sure of the best way to go about sharing them with friends? Carry the ones you like the most everywhere you go, and when you encounter a friend in need, hand them your bottle! What? Seriously, give someone else MY bottle?

Yes, that’s right! Keep your empty bottles, and refill them with about 20 drops, then when you have a friend in need, it’s no big deal. Simply hand them yours, tell them how to use it, the benefits, AND to give it back to you the next time they see you EVEN IF IT’S EMPTY!

This will accomplish 3 things: they get to experience the great benefits in their time of need and a few days more, you get the empty bottle back to refill, and it gives you a face-to-face opportunity to ask them how they liked it, which is always great! Then tell them when your next opportunity is for more learning through an intro class, social media event, corporate event, etc.

Follow-up with them to get them there, or simply schedule a one-on-one to get them signed up, so they can do the same thing you just did with them and work toward getting their cost back. It’s a win-win! And always help them to enroll their friends, which you may both know, so that it helps you to earn higher commissions by building legs that will get both of you to the next Young Living rank sooner!

This month I was in Louisiana, Arkansas and Missouri. I love

staying with my friends and talking oils. God has blessed you all with such amazing families and He is working in each of your lives. I look forward to our friendships strengthening and our love for God being shared with those whom we come in contact. I pray that we are never too busy to do classes in homes, share meals, and enjoy each other!
