I have been saving my Essential Rewards points. This month I cashed them in for a Raindrop Kit and (2) bottles of Lemon essential oil.
All I paid was shipping! :-)
All this was included in the kit:
I see that I forgot to turn the labels so we can see them, but this includes bottles of V-6 Oil (for dilution) and Ortho Ease Massage Oil (A favorite here) as well as these essential oils: Basil, Thyme, Marjoram, Oregano, Valor II, AromaEase, Peppermint, Wintergreen, and Cypress. As I had previously blogged, after watching a video by Shannon Hudson, I was inspired to cash in my points and see how these oils would work for us. I've used them on Randy a few times and he loves them. Two of my boys (ages 8, and 10) even allowed me to try the oils on them! There is a flyer and DVD included which show how to actually do the technique and sometime I want to try the actual regimen. But for now, I'm just using the oils.
Enjoy your week!
I love the Essential Rewards program (as I may have mentioned before).

I know I've been gone from this blog. My family and I took a 9 day camping trip around Pennsylvania. I have so many blog posts in my head. While I was gone, my Essential Rewards (Monthly Autoship) order showed up so I want to blog about that. Another package containing items I purchased with my Rewards Points arrived as well. And I want to blog about this month's promo items...
Young Living's yearly Convention was this past week as well. I'm very excited about the new products and am looking forward to sharing about those items as well.
So I'm planning to post several times this week with all that information!
Talk to you soon!

Today was exciting! I came home to a package from Young Living. The end of last month I had suddenly realized that I was on my last bottle of NingXia Red. So I ordered a NingXia Red Starter Kit on Quick Order. It arrived today!
On to the topic of this post: Summer Vacation. Every year, in the summer, we go on vacation. Many years we take a road trip. The photo on this post is from a couple of years ago in New Brunswick.
Ever since I started using oils, they became a new addition to my packing list. And every trip I get to figure out which ones of my collection are the most needed and most versatile and thus indispensable.
I start by packing a diffuser. We have a travel trailer and generally camp where we have electric. Next I add a Desk Reference Resource Book so I can look up any topic to see what oils are recommended. I can also simply sit around our campfire and read about these fabulous oils. Then the tough part--the oils. I usually start with the basics. Peppermint, Lemon, Lavender, Digize, RC, Stress Away, Frankincense, Panaway, Purification. I move on to those (if I haven't gotten them already) that are in the Golden Touch Kit. This year I added the oils from The Raindrop Kit. Then any other favorites such as Helichrysum, Citronella, and Northern Lights Black Spruce. By now my case is getting rather full! (I bought a case that holds 30 oils. This year I'm taking 2!)
Oh yes, I must also remember supplements! I pack the NingXia Red packets, NingXia Nitro, Life 9. Randy takes care of the supplements that he takes himself. I contemplate whether to take Mark's current list or to just do the NingXia Red and Life 9 and skip the rest (Mineral Essence, Sulferzyme, Mindwise, sometimes K&B). I will definitely pack the ImmuPro and MightyVites.
Finally, I consider any other products--Thieves Laundry Soap, Lavender Mint Shampoo & Conditioner. A bar of soap. I google for recipes on the internet for any DIY products I want to take and make them as well.
What Young Living products do you take on vacation?!
Enjoy your day!

- I have my essential rewards (autoship) order set to process on the 2nd of every month.
- So the 1st of the month, I finalize my order.
- When I remember, I double check on the 2nd to make sure that nothing went out of stock overnight.
- Then within the next week, I go back into my order to start tweaking it for the next month. That way, if something catastrophic or crazy would go down in my life, my order would process and not be a duplicate of the prior month.
- The order would be a duplicate of the prior month if not altered in between.
- Then, through the month, I add or delete as I think of other things our family needs.
- Towards the end of the month, I go in and delete out any extras to bring the total pv amount to my desired amount.
- If necessary, I adjust my PV Assistant during the month. PV Assistant will add product to my order to meet my minimum PV that I set. If something I ordered goes out of stock, PV Assistant will pull something from the list I set up to make sure that I don't miss desired promo items.
- The 1st day of the month (for me--any day before your processing date) I take a look at the monthly promos to decide what my personal spending will be for that month.
- And then I wait--for my order to arrive and I start all over again!
- Oh, I will check a few days after my order processes to make sure it shipped. If it hasn't, I call Customer Service to see if there are any issues. This way I avoid missing out on promos due to a credit card issue or out of stock issue.
Enjoy your day!
