Staying at Home with Young Living

Featured

Posted on April 14, 2020 by Roeshel

Hello, DIYShowOff friends!

How are you holding up? Hanging in there? Adjusting to the new routine of staying in if you can, homeschooling, getting things done around the house, binge-watching Netflix series, getting outdoors? Are you a part of an essential business and working long hours? If so – thank you so much for putting yourself at risk to serve others. You are so appreciated!

As a blogger, small business owner, AirBnB host; a little has changed in my routine. No travel means no business for the AirBnB but I’m grateful to continue to work from home with my blogging. My wellness workshop is closed but the Young Living side of my business continues online.

At first I felt a little helpless, wishing there was more I could do. Then I realized that I can absolutely continue to serve and bless others through Young Living. I know. I know. Network marketing. Believe me, it wasn’t for me either. I have zero sales skills. I didn’t have a background in direct sales so my opinion was based on hearsay so I wanted no part of it. I simply purchased the products because a friend shared and the essential oil I tried worked. Ever hear someone say that Young Living has been life changing for them? That’s my story too.

Why? I was introduced six years ago at a time when again, I was feeling helpless. Two very close family members were diagnosed with breast cancer (with no previous family history and negative gene testing). So, it’s evident that the environment and lifestyle choices are a contributing factor. And it made me take a look at my lifestyle. I’ve been blessed with good health my entire life, but I knew my unhealthy choices would likely catch up with me one day. At that time, it made me realize that I didn’t want to put off that healthier lifestyle to “some day” when I’d be in desperate need of making changes and I didn’t want to look back and have regrets.

So, Young Living became that baby step in light of the wake up call. I began switching out the harsh chemical-laden products in our home. Around the same time, my husband who does the cooking was starting to incorporate healthier eating habits and we started looking at supplements for whole body support. And shortly after, I had a grandchild on the way and knew that it was time to stop smoking once and for all. One thing led to another. I’m still a work in progress but I am confident that just those changes have made a difference for us. For the past six years, I’ve haven’t experienced feeling unwell at all. ::knock on wood::

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Young Living. What is this company? Young Living has been around for more than 25 years. They are the pioneer and world leader in essential oils. They have a seed to seal guarantee, meaning they control the entire process of bringing us everyday products. They aren’t purchasing something and slapping on a label. They have strict guidelines when it comes to ingredients, farming practices and more.

How it works. To me, it’s similar to a SAMs Club/Costo membership. We have a SAMs Club membership and pay $45/year for access to shop their store. Over a period of 10 years, we’ve payed $450 to shop there. I have an ID card to show for it. With Young Living, I purchased one of the starter kits. Now I have a lifetime membership to wholesale pricing (24% off everything) with no yearly fees. No obligation to sell. And a premium starter kit for $165 is a diffuser, 12 essential oils and some samples – so a LOT to show for what I spent.

I have to share the business opportunity since at a time when so many are stuck at home without a paycheck and maybe considering an online/work from home business at this time. If you’ve been looking at companies that you think would be a good fit, I believe Young Living is a good fit for ANYONE, for EVERYONE! Check out the Young Living income disclosure statement HERE. It works well with just about any hobby. And most importantly, Young Living provides products that everyone uses and needs! Consumables. Jewelry, nail polish, leggings, cookware, etc. – those are all fun and I support anyone who puts themselves out there with creating their own business and brand (when it aligns with my lifestyle) but If you’re into yoga, oils are a great fit. If you love to cook, the vitality line is a great fit. Love to decorate? A beautiful home begins with a safe environment. Like makeup? Savvy is a beautiful safe collection! Wellness is for everyone!

Purchasing one of the starter kits is all it takes. Did you know there’s even a basic kit option? How many businesses do you know you can start off with just a $35 investment?

So what’s the catch? Monthly sales quotas to remain a rep? No. Big fees to stay active? No. Young Living wants you to be a product of the product. So all that is required in a month that you do have a bonus/commission coming to you is that you purchase 50 pv (approx. $50 order) monthly of products you choose and use personally to earn fast start and sign up bonuses of the people you enroll or a 100 pv (approx. $100) to earn commissions. Young Living has one of the best compensation and ranking plans. They’ve implemented new Silverbound incentives. AND you have an entire team for encouragement, inspiration, motivation, education and training and support. An amazing group – maybe even some bloggers you’ll recognize!

We use our diffuser daily. I was a designer candle junkie but wasn’t really aware or didn’t care about the toxic ingredients and synthetic fragrances I was breathing in. Until I knew better that even a small step in a healthy direction makes a big difference over time. Not only does my home smell pretty, I can diffuse essential oils with a purpose. Lavender or Peace & Calming for relaxation and sleep. Thieves for cleaning the air and supporting a healthy immune system. A combo of lavender, lemon and peppermint for season support. So many options!

Some of Young Living essential oils are labeled for dietary use. So instead of reaching for something I bought at the store with side effects or chemicals, I can grab DiGize for supporting a healthy digestive system – all things digestive! Or have you heard of the health benefits of Frankincense? I add it to my Ningxia Red (a juice for supporting a healthy immune system and energy) daily.

Do I have to purchase regularly? Will things just show up at my door and be deducted from my bank account? No. They DO have an Essential Rewards program that is completely optional. And since we do purchase regularly, we’ve opted in. I earn 25% back on my monthly orders and that adds up fast! There are monthly promotions that have stocked our supply or introduced us to something knew. We simply ditched what we were buying at WalMart and switched to buying the better healthier brand from Young Living. Here’s a list of a few things:

toothpaste
mouthwash
deodorant
household cleaner concentrate
hand purifier
makeup
lotion
shampoo
condition
supplements!
essential oils
baby wipes
diaper rash cream
pain cream
CBD oil
muscle rub
massage oil
cough drops
hormone, emotional, immune support
laundry detergent
dishwasher detergent
fruit and veggie cleaner
acne treatment

If I give it more thought, I know I could go on and on. So in love with the variety of products available!

I also love the community that comes along with it. Rather than wondering what does this oil do?, I’m a part of an amazing supportive group of friends to hold my hand. I had no idea where to start. It all seemed so overwhelming – a good reason for my procrastination. But having access to the educational resources and community for support has been a lifesaver! That’s one of my favorite parts! So who you join under does matter. And I would be honored if you chose me. I’ve been a part of Young Living for six years and want freedom and purpose and abundance and wellness for everyone! It really has made a positive impact on me, my family and so many. I want that for you to.

What do I offer? When you purchase one of the premium starter kits, I reach out to you and send you a welcome bundle of goodies personalized to your needs, my favorite educational resource and access to our beautiful groups of friends. No one should ever feel alone! Because we have an empty nest and I’m passionate about wellness, I’m right here available to you. I don’t snag your sale and abandon you. I’m in this for the long haul, believe in Young Living and am choosing hope during this tough time. I crave to connect with others who share my same interests.

DIY Hand Spray / Gel

Featured

Posted on March 7, 2020 by Roeshel

No need to be afraid! One of the things I love about DIY and Young Living is the ability to make up all.the.things in a snap (especially when stores are selling out … this is a WAY better option) and you need this goodness, DIYShowOff friends!

DIY Hand Spray / Gel Tutorial

Here is what I use:

Please feel free to alter the below recipe according to your stash of essential oils (use a cleansing/purifying blend). I’ll be increasing the size for a larger bottle.

1 oz. amber glass spray bottle
distilled aloe vera liquid (if using aloe vera gel instead, use a 1 oz. squirt bottle)
witch hazel or vodka
Thieves essential oil blend
optional: Melaleuca essential oil or Purification essential oil or Peppermint essential oil
optional: V-6 or vitamin E
optional: pinch of epsom salt
embellishments: label, decorative tape, note card and ribbon

And here is what I do:

I added the following to a 1 oz. glass spray bottle: 5-7 drops of Thieves essential oil, 2-3 drops of Melaleuca, one squirt of V6 then a pinch of epsom salt (to help keep oil + liquid mixed). I then 1/2 filled with distilled aloe liquid, topped off to where the bottle starts to curve at the neck of the bottle with witch hazel. Secure lid, shake and spray. Embellish with decorative tape and a label. Tie on a handwritten note with pretty ribbon. “Thanks you for your helping hands.”

The Power of Thieves

New to essential oils? You’re going to love this! The Thieves Starter Kit is a great way to dive in and stock up on amazing clean products.

Household Makeover

Let’s chat about one of the number one things we ALL use for a clean home: household cleaners.

Have you ever heard of the Environmental Working Group? It’s a non-profit organization focused on the environment and public health. They have a website that lists the safety information of common household products you use to clean your home. These products contain ingredients containing carcinogens, asthma instigators, and poisons, which mean some sparkly cleaners might come at a high price.

Many of the generic cleaners contain Phthalates which interfere with hormones and are carcinogens.

Thieves cleaner does NOT contain those big bad Phthalates. Instead of Phthalates, Thieves Cleaner by Young Living contains two different sulfates that are derived from coconut oil and sugar. These all-natural and safe sulfates that are considered surfactants, which contain a molecule that loves water and a molecule that hates water. That means the Thieves Cleaner sticks to the surface and grabs the oil and then washes away easily with water.

It can be used on many different surfaces: counters, bathrooms, floors, toys, clothes, carpet, mirrors, windows, and more. Spot check a small area before you use your Thieves cleaner on a new surface. We use it daily and on practically every surface in our home.

This cleaner is also insanely cost effective. It is highly concentrated so you only need about a capful of this all-purpose cleaner in about one cup of water. With this ratio, one small bottle will yield you about 29 16 oz spray bottles of safe all-purpose cleaner. That means it’s under $1 for one spray bottle. Can’t beat that price! Time to ditch and switch all of your household cleaners for the Thieves all-purpose cleaner. Living above the wellness line and saving money at the same time. Double bonus!

The Thieves cleaner comes in a small or large bottle and you can even get a convenient spray great for shopping carts, public tables, hands and so much more.

Become a Young Living Member with the Thieves Premium Starter Kit.

While you may not be able to control the other environments you are find yourself in, YOU are the gatekeeper to your home. YOU control what comes in and what goes out.

Now you KNOW better, so are you going to DO better?

I am going to give you a SUPER EASY tip: Ditch and switch with the Young Living Thieves Premium Starter Kit. You can literally throw out the harmful products in your cabinets and use a few life-changing products instead.

The Thieves Premium Starter Kit (PSK) includes:

Wholesale membership (kind of like your Costco/SAM’s Club membership – access to 24% wholesale pricing) – no obligations, no yearly fees
Thieves essential oil 15-ml (this is the one you’ll use for the DIY hand spray/gel recipe above)
Thieves AromaBright™ Toothpaste
Thieves Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash
2 Thieves Cleaner
2 Thieves Foaming Hand Soap
2 Thieves Spray
2 Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier – YAY!!!
Stress Away™ 5-ml
AromaGlide™ Roller Fitment
Thieves Household Cleaner 1-oz. sample
10 Love It? Share It! Sample Business Cards
10 Love It? Share It! Sample Oil Bottles
2 NingXia Red® 2-oz. Samples

Birthday Bash

Posted on March 4, 2019 by Roeshel

Hi DIYShowOff friends! Oh dear blog friends, I’m so blessed by your friendship and so happy you’re here. Thank you for your encouragement and support!

Birthday Bash:

I love that you’re here. Our mutual interest in DIY has brought us together and I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you on a more personal level. I love our collaborations, our stories of putting so much love, so much of ourselves into creating a beautiful home.

If you know me by now, you know that not only do I love being creative and crafty with DIY projects, I’m passionate about wellness and a chemical free home so as I celebrate my last year before hitting a big birthday milestone in 2020, I wanted to share some fun birthday incentives with my favorite blog friends.

Giving back:

It’s my birthday month! My birthday wish is to give back in a big way. That’s the plan! For March, when you purchase a Premium Starter Kit using enroller/sponsor #1836762 at YoungLiving.com, I’ll be donating 25% to providing product gifts for some special recipients! I’d love to gift the Thieves Disinfecting (non toxic) Spray to cancer patients in our area! Thieves is SO amazing and smells good too!

6 (SIX!!!!) close family members diagnosed with cancer in the past 6 years! That’s 6 too many! Sharing about chemical free products, essential oils with no side effects and making healthier choices may only be a super small imprint on those I love, their families and the world – but it’s one positive step in the right direction!

I appreciate your shares and referrals too! Thank you so much for helping me!

Gift of Wellness:

Think oils aren’t for you because you’re not a hippie? Not crunchy? Or that there’s no way they can actually work like the “crazy oil people” say they can? See, that’s where you’ve got it wrong. Sooooo wrong. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to try.

It’s my goal for every one of my friends and family to have essential oils in their home so they have options to live above the wellness line and non toxic choices for aches and pains, immune system support along with support for other body systems too – you need these oils in your life!

You guys! It’s not about sales! I don’t care where you get your Young Living products from – reach out to your closest bestie who loves the Young Living lifestyle, link arms and get off the fence! But if you don’t have someone close to you, geographic location is of little importance in today’s world with connection at our fingertips! I’d be honored if you chose me as your enroller/sponsor. I’m so super passionate about sharing wellness, purpose and abundance. Who you join under does make a difference and we have a rockstar community for support and education ready and waiting for you (you might even recognize blog friends that you know!) so that you’re not all alone wondering how or why to use essential oils in addition to lots of education, resources, fun, incentives, giveaways and so much love and support! We’re a close-knit group who values friendship.

^^^ THIS Premium Starter Kit is the BOMB! 12 essential oils and the Desert Mist Diffuser!!! It’s beautiful, has LED lights including a candle flicker mode! And has settings to run 5, 8 or 10 hours!!! The value of all of that on it’s own is over $400! Wow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Getting that Premium Starter Kit gives you a free lifetime membership to wholesale prices with no yearly fees, no obligations to buy or sell or to hand over your first born – just lifetime access to 24% off retail prices for life! It’s sort of like a SAM’s Club or Costo membership. At SAM’s, we pay $45/year to shop there. Over 10 years, we’ve paid $450 for the privilege to shop at SAM’s Club. With Young Living, you snag a kit for $165 one time and you not only get a diffuser, 12 oils (13 if you join the optional Essential Rewards program at sign up which you can then cancel at any time without penalty) or go for the Savvy Minerals MakeUp collection or the Thieves Premium Starter Kit – you’ll have access to wholesale pricing FOREVER!

Project Diary #12 Christmas at the Studio

Posted on December 19, 2018 by Roeshel

It’s Christmas as the studio! Since we can’t put life on hold, let’s ignore the unfinished projects and enjoy a festive look at the holiday cheer in a mostly finished space. A place where we share DIY home ideas and creating a beautiful home begins with a healthy environment.

Remember that Succulents & Spruce Christmas tree? It’s a beautiful focal point to the studio living room area. I love the colors and rustic nature vibe in this space. A grapevine star against a window in the daytime is hard to photograph but trust me, it makes for a perfect topper! And I love the pop of color from these coppery-orange ornaments. Gold glitter feathers! My favorite sparkle accent for this nature themed tree. There’s lots of extra leafy garlands to give it a fuller look too. Did you notice? And there’s Northern Lights Black Spruce essential oil in the diffuser ornament giving it a beautiful pine scent! When you can’t have fresh pine, this is a great option! Smells amazing! A fluffy comfy throw as a tree skirt makes me want to curl up under there to enjoy the starry-night glow! The mantel is all decorated for celebrating Happy Holidays! Isn’t it gorgeous? Those fairy lights in glass ornaments are my favorite tucked into lush pine forest garland is just so magical!

And the porch and stairs are on the ‘to-do’ list but a grapevine wreath with holly berries and red velvet bow with poinsettias greets our guests at the door. Oh! The first sneak peek! There is now vinyl decal lettering on the windows to share with our community what’s going on! Wellness Inspired Living is what it’s all about, creating a home that promotes a better you and a healthy home environment for your family. Well-being. You can learn more about my story and what that means to me HERE. The entryway still needs painted (or maybe even a pretty wallpaper accent wall with a bench and decor – so many ideas!) but I used what I have on hand to give it a welcoming atmosphere. The studio is a place in our downtown where we gather for discussing living above the wellness line, to get together to support one another, for education and fun times. It’s also an available meeting space for small/home business//women in business. My 4-year-old grandson took this next photo. I think he did a pretty good job! I love the antique door knob from a little one’s perspective. With lots of holiday events on the calendar, a “Selfies with Santa”//holiday photo backdrop and props is getting lots of use and laughs! So fun! Before the photo backdrop…this wall featured the quote scroll but was moved to the entryway. Aroma Freedom Technique happens in this room (although via video chat too) – achieve your goals! xo Time for entertaining my friends! Some photos, ideas and settings from some recent events: Wine and chocolate. This photo might represent entertaining AND for personal use as well. hahaha!

Yay! Another sneak peek. You saw them from the outside above and I haven’t revealed the workshop area yet but this grid of windows is amazing for it’s natural light! The shelving area above a hot beverage station…this room has no natural light but I love it’s function. Beverage center, back door, coat room, hallway. Mantel deer…did I mention I can’t get enough of GOLD lately. How about you? Okay, friends! THIS IS THE BEST SNEAK PEEK….I am in LOVE with how the workshop area is coming along. This table gathers friends for DIY craft time, make & takes, wellness education, iTOVI scans and small parties! Those dark moody walls paired with the barn wood walls (not shown below) and that grid of 9 beautiful windows that sold me on this studio and tempt me to want to LIVE in this room! I’ll share more specific details in the upcoming before/after reveal but wow, right? So so pretty! Or maybe you need to see the before to appreciate it like I do. You’ll have to stop back soon. ::wink wink:: This Desert Mist diffuser is amazing! I absolutely love the candle flicker mode and diffusing settings. You can get it HERE. You need it! You’ll LOVE it! I don’t miss burning candles one bit. That’s saying a lot! I was a brand name candle junkie! I love that I can easily and frequently change up the scent, mood, health benefits…just take a look at more info. I’m so grateful a friend shared with me and feel compelled to pass it on. You control what you bring into your home and a diffuser and essential oils was that first baby step towards a healthier me, family and home. Another photo from a 4-year-old’s perspective. Setting up for an essential oil make & take party and there’s a glimpse of that gorgeous barn wood. I love handmade gifts and making them so pretty and festive with all the trimmings. See more about essential oil infused gift ideas HERE. What’s an event without some light refreshments? I love making up a tray with fresh fruit, cheese and crackers and some essential oil infused goodies. fresh fruits, crackers and cheese ketogenic pumpkin muffins with Cinnamon Bark Vitality infused cream cheese frosting Rosemary Vitality and Lemon Vitality essential oil infused roasted cashews

So, what do you think? Isn’t it cute? So cozy and comfy. C’mon over and we’ll catch up over a glass of hot cocoa or mulled wine! I’ll save a mini-muffin for you! love spending time here with friends!

Next up:

The workshop transformation. It’s my favorite!

The building has so much historical charm. It’s about one block from our town’s Main Street. The bus stop is literally steps away. There’s a gorgeous Butler, PA Bed & Breakfast across the street called Suite Retreat (how cute is that?!) and an antique shop nearby. There are breweries, the YMCA, shops, restaurants, salons, florists, candy/coffee shop, holiday parades and festivals within walking distance. So fun! If renovation from blah to ahhhhh is your thing, stay tuned!

So subscribe and be reminded of updates as the renovations progress! I’ll share before and after photos, projects underway and updates, plans and design boards, sources and links as they relate as well as fun events going on in and around the downtown area. I’ll be using a specific hashtag on social media to keep things all neat and tidy and organized.

#helloredreno

I welcome your thoughts and ideas! And as always, thanks for your encouragement and support and for sharing in my joy and vision! Watch for #helloredreno!

Handmade Essential Oil Infused Gift Ideas

Posted on December 18, 2018 by Roeshel

Hellooooo DIY and essential oil loving friends! I just wanted to pop on and share some easy DIY essential oil infused gift ideas. Not all are original ideas from the recesses of my creative genius … although most are! haha! I believe my inspiration for the snowmen was sparked from a Facebook post somewhere but since I have so many friends asking about further details, I wanted to post something here for reference.

Okay, let’s get this make & take last minute handmade essential oil infused gift ideas post going so that you can prepare for some weekend holiday craft time! First things first – I use and recommend Young Living and LOVE their products. I’d love to be the one to discuss them with you. You can learn more here: Wellness Inspired Living. Once your order is placed, I’ll be in touch to get a DIYShowOff welcome bundle to you!

DIY Wood Dryer Ball Snowman Tutorial

Supplies:

wool dryer balls
snowman hats – I got mine at JoAnn Fabrics
transparent treat bags
clear elastic hair bands
floral Christmas pics and holiday ribbon
Sharpies
hot glue and glue gun
Sample size glass eye dropper bottles or (5 ml bottle) of Purification or Citrus Fresh or Christmas Spirit

What I did:

I added a wool dryer ball to a treat bag and secured the top with a clear elastic hair band.
Then popped in another wool dryer ball and closed the top with another clear elastic hair band.
Attach the snowman had to cover the top using hot glue.
Decorate hat with Christmas florals or ribbon.
Tie on a holiday ribbon scarf between the two wool dryer balls.
Draw a face using your Sharpie markers.
Attach a business card and sample of your favorite essential oil.

How I use mine: REPLACE toxic dryer sheets with wool dryer balls and essential oils! Remove wool dryer balls from packaging, stick the snowman hat on your dog (or not – hahaha!), add a few drops of essential oil to each ball and toss in the dryer with a load of wet clothes. I find that since my dryer has a sensor and stops when clothes are dry, that we don’t have issue with static cling. Sometimes, I’ll add another drop or two and “air dry” or “fluff” before folding dry clothes.

Ornament with Sample Sized or Small Products

What I did:

I used THESE plastic ornaments.
I added a few curls of white gift ribbon inside.
Young Living gift ideas: Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier, Lip Balm, Thieves Disinfecting Spray, Essential Oil sample sachet, Wolfberry Truffles, Ningxia Nitro, Ningxia Red, business card, note, gift card, essential oils, essential oils gift certificate, etc.
Close up the ornament and tie on a pretty festive ribbon.
