So we are approaching the end of a month again. I have a rare week where I have hardly anything going. Only two appointments! So I'm hoping to get caught up on some things that take a back seat during the weeks when I have many appointments, like last week.
Today I'm working on finalizing my August Essential Rewards order which includes looking at what I want to buy in August and whether there are any items that I want to order yet in July.
I have various scraps of paper in front of me that I am making notes to help me decide. We are huge fans of Young Living's NingXia Red supplement--and I misjudged how much we would use now that more of us are taking this supplement regularly. I'm trying to decide what is my best deal and how I want to buy more.
We generally keep a bottle in the refrigerator (I prefer it cold) for those at home. My husband takes the individual packets with him on the truck. They are also handy to throw in a bag or take on vacation. I often buy the Combo pack which includes 2 bottles and 30 individual packets. Bottles can last longer (use less than 2 oz.) or go quicker (misjudge the 2 oz. when pouring). I also like to buy another starter kit which gives me 2 bottles, 30 individual packets +2, a box of 14 Nitro (my favorite product) and a 5ml bottle of Stress Away (my favorite oil). So I'm figuring and debating here about how I want to order.
On another scrap I have the products that I need to replenish (Mindwise, NingXia Red, Bar Soap, Helichrysum). And I'm making notes about adding them to my August order, putting them on hold until September, or ordering them with the Rewards Points (Helichrysum).
Other things I'm looking to order? Lemon/Lemon Vitality (how did I run out of that?!) and items that are limited to 1 per month per account to make sure that I have an extra or two in case they go out of stock. (Speaking of that--Going Out Of Stock, while inconvenient, is not actually a bad thing! It shows that Young Living is willing to lose money rather than compromise on the quality of any given item.)
I'm thinking I want to make a specific list of supplements/oils that each person uses that I can check against each month to make sure that I have what is needed.
The Savvy Make-up brushes have become available today as well so I'm contemplating whether to order them (they are expensive, but high quality) and that NingXia Red Starter Kit via Quick Order--decision, decisions!
Enjoy your day!

I ordered these new products the end of June and they arrived with my July order.
- Insect Repellent - I'm carrying this in my bag but haven't used it yet as the bugs haven't been bad here.
- Seedlings Baby Oil - I love the smell of this one. I use it with my bab. :-)
- Fulfill Your Destiny Essential Oil Blend - I diffuse this one and love it. I was a little worried because some people have said it smells like black jelly beans--but not to me. My son thinks it smells like Root Beer--I don't smell that either. I'm not sure exactly what it does smell like, but I do like it!
- Aftersun Spray - I bought this to take to the beach.
- Seedlings Diaper Wipes - For the baby. They are also good as a make-up remover.
- Aminowise - My husband uses this one. He enjoys the taste of it!
- Alkalime - Haven't tried yet
- Super Cal Plus - I bought this for me.
- Savvy Mineral Make-up - Love it!

I bought a Blush, Lipgloss, amd Lipstick. I love the shades. It's been awhile since I bought make-up but I'm looking forward to doing so again.

These are the promotions I bought for placing an Essential Rewards order of 300 pv: Rutavala Roll-On, En-R-Gee, Aromaease, Fennel, Lavender Vitality, Essentialzymes-4, and my favorite product, NingXia Nitro!


Between my end of June order and July essential rewards order, these are the items that I purchased.
- KidScents MightyVites - Two of my kids take these regularly
- KidScents MightyZymes - My son had taken these in the past. They were out of stock for awhile but now we are trying them again.
- KidScents Shampoo - I love this gentle Shampoo for my kids.
I also bought two items from the new Seedlings line. While specifically designed for babies & children, these items can be used for others as well.
- Baby Wipes - With a baby in the house we go through lots of these! Rumor has it that they also work well to remove makeup at the end of the day.
- Baby Oil - As many baby oils are petroleum based, I had not bought any for this baby. I'm excited to try this out!


I bought this beautiful new diffuser. The tangerine and peppermint essential oils came along as promotional items. I love the many diffusing and light options and combinations.

If you have a Young Living membership, you can order this special deal by going to the Quick Order page in the virtual office. Place the Diffuser, Frankincense, Orange, Lemon, and Lavender oils in the cart. The peppermint and tangerine will ship automatically with the diffuser. The item numbers for the oils end in "D". If you do not have a membership, you would need to first purchase a basic starter kit or premium starter kit. Once your account was set up, you could place a Quick Order for these items.
**Offer good through today.
