The best way to get started in Essential Oils and get the support you need to be successful using your oils, is to Become a Wholesale Member of Young Living.
First, becoming a wholesale member is NOT signing your life away. A wholesale membership is FREE and the only option that will give you 24% off retail price - it doesn't even obligate you to make any future purchases if you don't want to! NO OBLIGATION. The best part of being a wholesale member is access to Young Living's Premium Starter Kit which is the BEST deal! I always RECOMMEND this kit for $150. Trust me, it is the best "bang for you buck."
The Premium Starter Kit comes with 5ml of each of the following oils: peppermint, lavender, lemon, thieves, peace and calming, valor, Pan-away, joy, frankincense, and Purification. Along with these 10 oils, you also get a bonus 5ml of Stress Away, several samples of the most popular oils and two 2-oz samples of Young Living's
Xingxia Red....And...wait for it, we're not done! You also get a diffuser as well! That's a jam-packed, awesome-possum kit right there!
What I love about this kit is it gives you a variety of oils to try. And let's talk price for just a second. A bottle of frankincense at a DISCOUNTED price is over $75. And so is Pan Away! See? I told you it was a great deal!
In addition to this kit, there is also a Premium Starter Kit that includes a sleeker, slimmer diffuser. Everything is the same, except the different diffuser. The slimmer model covers a little more square footage. It has a 1-hr or 4-hr timer. Either kit a great deal! The kit looks like this.
In addition to these awesome savings, you will have the
option of sharing the oils with your family and friends, which means you can earn monthly commissions that could pay for your own oil use! You will also receive promotions for free oils. In no way are you required to run a Young Living business as a wholesale member - but it is an option, if you like.
Also (I know, the list goes on) this also gives you access to our Facebook group that is not through Young Living, but the people on our team, Oily Family and Mummy Deals. There are two groups where you can find tons of resources and PERSONAL TESTIMONIES. It's a great place to hear how other people have had success in oils.
I would also like to send you another freebie [limited to US addresses, only]. I will send you "Quick Reference Guide for Using Essential Oils." This is a $15 value and an invaluable resource.
OK - now that you're comfortable about becoming a member, let's get you signed up! If you have received info from another Young Living member, please get their link to order. If you have NOT received, follow these steps.
Step 1: Go to
https://www.youngliving.com/signup/?sponsorid=1970747&enrollerid=1970747 It should look like this:
Step 2: Make sure you select Wholesale Member instead of Retail Customer. Wholesale Member is the only way you will be able to get access to the Kit and 24% off on any future orders.
Step 3: Make sure the sponsor ID and Enroller ID say "1970747." (I want to be able to send you the free book).
Step 4: Fill out your personal information. Young Living is required to as for SSN, in case you decide to turn your Young Living Oils into a business. If you never sign anyone up, your SSN will not be used.
Make sure you write down your username and Pin #. This will be important for the future.
Step 5: Select your starting kit. The kit should be either $150 or $ 160. There are other Premium Starter kits that are INTERNATIONAL. Please be sure you select one of the ones circled in the following picture.
Step 6: Scroll down past the Essential Rewards kits. This is a completely OPTIONAL items. I would suggest to scroll down and select, "No thank you." You can always set up an Essential Rewards order later, if you desire.
Step 7: Click "I Agree" and Next.
Step 8: Confirm your enrollment information. Be sure your name, address, etc. is correct.
Step 9: Once you have confirmed your information, you should be at your cart. This is where you CAN add anything else you may want to try. Once you're done adding to your cart,
[adding to your cart is optional - most people just purchase the kit to begin with] you need to checkout.
Once you check out, you're done! WHOO HOO!! Welcome to the Oily Family! :) Your membership will be active as long as you spend $50/year. You do not have to re-enroll, as long as you are spending $50/year it will be automatic. And, trust me, you'll love the oils so much that maintaining your membership will be easy-peasy!
First, grab a shirt in the size you are desiring. And make draw a pattern. I like to draw the pattern on newspaper, but you can use whatever you'd like. You'll need a pattern for a sleeve, the bodice (one piece will work for the front and back), and a collar. I chose to do the sleeve first. Lay out the shirt and draw around it. I drew a little outside of the shirt to accommodate for a small seam allowance. I didn't want a seam along the top of the sleeve, so I knew that the top part was going to have to be pretty straight so that I could cut it out on a fold.
Next, grab your t-shirt and cut out your pieces. You should cut out 2 bodice pieces (on folds), 2 sleeve pieces (on folds) and 1 collar piece. **If you can cut the bodice out of the bottom part of your old t-shirt, you won't have to finish the bottom.....if you cannot do this, you have to cut your pieces extra long to accommodate for the seam.
Now, take one sleeve and lay it on one of the bodice pieces, right sides together, pin and sew. (***I used my serger, but if you don't use a serger don't worry. I would just do a zig-zag stitch across each piece before you sew them together to finish the edges so they don't roll on the inside of your shirt***). Repeat these steps to add a sleeve on both sides of the front, and then add the back piece to the sleeves as well. It should look like the picture on the left. 
She's a great sister, too. She calls just because. She listens anytime of the day (or night) even in the midst of her own craziness. She is an encourager and she has a pure heart. She isn't afraid to challenge me to think outside of myself and sometimes tells me the things I don't really want to hear, but I need to...She's a great sister.
