Hello!
My name is Cari. I’m wife, boy mom, and a believer in natural wellness and that the body was designed by God to heal it self.
For the last 25 years I’ve been in traditional healthcare and I’m so thankful I found a natural path for my family’s health and now I'm passionate about sharing this journey with others.
If you have your premium starter kit, I hope you’ve gone beyond those 12 oils and ventured into some of the other 600 products Young Living offers. This is not just about essential oils it is about an all around healthy lifestyle.
This class is about some of the other products 𝐁𝐞𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐢𝐭 that you will want to add to your wellness tool kit.
There’s More to Love
The starter kit helps us fall in love with oils, but sometimes that’s all we stick to. My first and favorite of the premium starter kit oils was 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐢𝐥.
This was my gateway oil into a whole new world, I loved the immune and respiratory support that was introduced to me at a perfect time when my family needed it. I began my journey in the fall 6 years ago. The kids had just went back to school when Thieves made all the difference in our household.
As I dove into this new natural world, I researched like crazy as I began this new path, I was pleasantly surprised with all the great information I was learning about how I could take charge of my family and make better choices. I was (and still am) so excited that I can offer my family superior products.
Young Living has supplements!
Young Living supplements are infused with essential oils and this allows for better absorption. More of the supplement being absorbed makes perfect sense. We are taking a supplement for a purpose, you bet I want to get the most out of it that is possible.
I noticed a huge difference when we added 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐗𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐝 to our daily regimen. Everyone gets a NingXia shot with breakfast: 1-2 ounces to start off our day.
NingXia Red is a powerful antioxidant drink that provides long lasting energy support great for agility, longevity and vitality. It fortifies the body and replenishes key nutrients too. This blend contains whole NingXia wolfberry, known to strengthen, energize, and replenish your body. The NingXia Wolfberry puree is a combination of blueberry, aronia, cherry, pomegranate and plum juices, natural stevia extract, grape seed extract, pure vanilla extract and orange, yuzu, lemon, and tangerine essential oils.
Bright and Early
School nights seem too short and when that alarm goes off, admittedly I'm not always ready to get moving.
I start my day by re-hydrating. We all wake up dehydrated. I love to drink a glass of water infused with Lemon Vitality first thing.
Next comes Ningxia Red, I already mentioned that we start our day this way. Did you fall in love with it from the samples in your starter kit??
When I have an extra full day, I reach for 𝐄𝐧-𝐑-𝐆𝐞𝐞. En-R-Gee is an uplifting blend that is naturally energizing and helps with mental alertness. I apply this over my adrenals (on your lower back just above your kidneys). It has nutmeg which is good for adrenal support. It also has Clove, Black Pepper, Juniper, Rosemary, Lemongrass, Idaho Balsam Fir and Clove. It also smells pretty great in the diffuser. I like this in my office when I’m working on something that requires some real attention and focus
.
Another energy booster is a blend called 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. I like to carry a roller bottle of Motivation. Take one of your empty 5mL bottles and add 10 drops Motivation, fill the rest of the way with V-6 carrier oil and add a roller fitment.
Anytime you need some extra Motivation during the day, roll away.
Breathe Easy
Who doesn’t love roller bottles? No mess, convenient application. Roll on anywhere.
I like to carry the 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥-𝐎𝐧 with me and use before a work out (Zumba is my jam). This awesome blend will open up sinuses you didn’t even know existed.
Similar to 𝐑𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧 in use, another blend we love to keep on hand during the fall/winter months is 𝐑.𝐂. It contains 3 types of Eucalyptus. Most people are familiar with Eucalyptus, it was probably in some rub your Grandmother put on your chest at one time or another. Diffuse or apply diluted to chest and back. I have also diluted and put inside my nostrils.
Pro Tip: Apply a few drops in a hot shower for a calming and soothing experience
Wellness diffuser recipe for you to try:
3 drops Thieves, 3 drops RC, 2 drops lemon
Don’t Worry, Be Happy
𝙀𝙢𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙪𝙥𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙩 is a big reason people are drawn to essential oils. Essential oils are unique in that they can stimulate the limbic system where our emotions are seated.
𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐫 & 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 both have very calming and grounding effects. You’ve likely experienced the awesomeness of Valor from the PSK.
Sacred Mountain is a little secret that not everyone has used. This happens to be one of my very favorites. It smells divine and contains Spruce, Cedarwood, Idaho Balsam Fir and Ylang Ylang. This combo makes for a very grounding blend.
𝐘𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐠 is my oil. This one balances me every. single. time. When crazy mommy comes out, grouchy friend, or grumpy wife appears, I just dab some Ylang Ylang and it helps me get back to that ‘even keel’ of emotions. For me anything with Ylang Ylang helps me feel more emotionally balanced.
Young Living has a lot of oil blends to help support our emotions like: 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞, 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 & 𝐋𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 just to name a few.
Focus on the Important Things
With the busyness of our lives and the seemingly endless distractions, essential oils can help with focus. Wouldn’t it be great to stay on task and see things a little bit clearer?
𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 was designed specifically for focus. Clarity contains Basil, Cardamom, Rosemary, Peppermint, Coriander, Geranium, Bergamot, Lemon, Ylang Ylang, Jasmine, Roman chamomile and Palmarosa. What powerful blend of oils each in their own right!
𝙋𝙚𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙩 is one of my favorite focus oils. There have been studies done with peppermint that showed a significant improvement in memory recall! Get this on your kids on test days! Peppermint pairs beautifully with Rosemary too which is another great focus oil.
Worth mentioning is 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙔𝙪𝙨, from the KidScents line. I send this one to school with my son who often daydreams and needs help staying on task.

Getting Through the Day
I’ve already mentioned how 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐗𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐝 helps start a day off right. Let me tell you about NingXia Red's cousins…NITRO & ZYNG.
𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐗𝐢𝐚 𝐍𝐢𝐭𝐫𝐨 and 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐗𝐢𝐚 𝐙𝐲𝐧𝐠 can help pick you up in those lulls during the day. Good bye after lunch yawns. Sometimes people reach for a sugary drink or energy drink then end up having ill effects, with the insulin surge, it causes a crash and burn effect. These NingXia options are healthy alternatives.
NingXia Nitro is great on the go as it comes in little packets. It truly is a burst of energy. NITRO combines 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils with naturally powerful ingredients to lift mental clarity and focus while also providing a surge of energy when needed.
NingXia Zyng is refreshing, sparkling, and great on ice. It contains about 35mg of naturally occurring caffeine for that natural energy boost.
𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐨𝐨𝐧 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐌𝐞 𝐔𝐩
Bird Shot:
1-2 oz. NingXia Red.
Add (vitality oils---orange, lemon, thieves, lavender, frankincense, citrus fresh, spearmint, peppermint…keep adding) 1 drop each.
Add a tube of Nitro
Drop this shot glass concoction into a glass of Zyng and chug-a-lug. ENERGY for HOURS!!!
Checking Your Gut
Most of you are already aware how important gut health is to our overall well being. Young Living has some great options to help us optimize our digestive health so everything can run efficiently.
Probiotics have been a hot topic over the last few years and with good reason. Probiotics deliver the “good” bacteria back into your digestive system to keep things working optimally. When using a probiotic you want to be sure the probiotic is made up of an active or live strain.
𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝟗 is an excellent probiotic that combines 17 billion live cultures from nine beneficial bacteria strains. It helps promote healthy digestion, supports gut health, and helps maintain normal intestinal function for the overall support of a healthy immune system.
Probiotics fall into the micronutrient class. Supplementing may be helpful to assist the body to support every organ system. Research is showing the emerging benefits of probiotics. A healthy gut equals good absorption and the ability to remove toxins. Probiotics enhance natural killer cells, thus support the immune system. Probiotics support B vitamin absorption which is critical for general health. Probiotics also support normal elimination. Probiotics are best taken in the evening.
Young Living also has a kid friendly probiotic called 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐲𝐏𝐫𝐨 (I like these too). I love them because they come in convenient sachets that are perfect for on the go.
Digestive Enzymes are needed to help facilitate our digestion, allow us to breakdown our foods into smaller molecules so they the nutrients can be absorbed from our food. Enzymes help make your food nutrients useful to the body and available for absorption and allow the body to be better equipped with the building blocks they need to be fully functional and operating. Enzymes make reaction processes happen faster in your body.
𝐄𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐳𝐲𝐦𝐞-𝟒 is an animal and plant based enzyme that contains lipase for helping to break down and digest fat. Young Living offers 5 enzymes. You can learn more about the different types here: www.theoildropper.com/enzymes
Get Your Mind Right
Supporting the brain is important at all stages of life, from childhood on, so getting in the habit of taking supplements for brain health is important for the entire family.
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐖𝐢𝐬𝐞 now comes in a bottle and in sachets for individual use. This brain supporting dietary supplement combines the sacha inchi nut with a proprietary essential oil blend to support your brain and your heart. It is high in omega 3 fatty acids and contains CoQ10 and turmeric. The sacha inchi nut is touted as an amazing superfood. It is rich in omega fatty acids 3,6, and 9, protein, fiber and antioxidants.
The sacha inchi plant grows in the Amazonian rainforest on a vine with star shaped seed pods, so they are technically seeds not nuts. They have been a large part of the Incan diet for over 3000 years. Young Living uses the seed’s precious oil for the MindWise supplement.
We can’t mention brain health without talking about 𝐎𝐦𝐞𝐠𝐚𝐆𝐢𝐳𝐞. This is the perfect combo of 3 core essentials. This supplement contains omega 3 fatty acids (DHA rich fish oil), Vitamin D3 and CoQ10 (ubiquinone). This combination can be used daily for your wellness regimen. The ingredients are excellent and work together to support normal brain health, cardiovascular (heart) health, eye health and joint health.
Calm it Down
We all know stress can cause ill effects and ‘dis-ease’ within our body and mind.
𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 & 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 is one of the bonus oils from the PSK, and it’s popular for a reason. This has been nicknamed ‘toddler tamer’ and I can attest to that one. When my son was 2 years old, having a full blown meltdown, this went immediately into the diffuser to restore our peace and to calm him down. We also loved this one on carpool days…it’s a must have in the car diffuser to help unwind the chaotic energy from the day.
𝐏𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐞 & 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐈 was born when there was some difficulty getting one of the oils in the original peace and calming blend. It was made to closely duplicate the chemical constituents of the original. Check this one out and see which you prefer!
𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐥𝐥-𝐎𝐧 is a great one if you don’t love being around crowds or when you are in the spotlight. It is a great one for nervous tension heading back to school for the kids too.
Keep it Clean
Did you know Young Living has a full line of body care products?
Sometimes when we think of health we forget that what we put on our skin is hugely important. Our skin is our largest organ and everything you put on your skin absorbs into your blood stream. Simply put….Don’t use toxic products!
Most store bought hair products, soaps, skin care and makeup are laden with hundreds and hundreds of known toxic chemicals and synthetic fragrances.
I read this mindblowing fact a few years ago that only 5% of cancer is genetic….so on the flip side that means 95% of cancer is preventable. We can help prevent this by being the gatekeepers of what products we use.
Download the EWG and Think Dirty apps and scan your products. If they have a high number…THROW THEM OUT ASAP!
Young Living has a lot of options for Bath & Shower Gels. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 is one of my favorites. I also love the Young Living bar soaps. Seriously try them all.
Young Living has chemical free shampoos and conditioners and body products for kids too with the KidScents line. Men, you aren’t left out. 𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧 is specially formulated for you (smells amazing ladies). There is a 3 in 1 option for a face, body wash and shampoo. The shave gel is pretty great I hear too.
Don’t forget to swap out your 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐮𝐩 too. Young Living has you covered for all of it!
Sleep a Little Tighter
Sleep is an integral part of living healthy.
Young Living has many options to support good night’s rest.
𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐥 is my favorite bedtime oil blend. I apply it to my wrists and both sides of my neck along with my 𝐥𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 and 𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 combo in my bedside Aria diffuser! Sweet Dreams!!
𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐲𝐈𝐳𝐞 is a great option for kids and pairs well with Lavender from the kit. Diffuse it or put it on the bottom of their feet. If they’re having bad dreams, pull out the big guns with 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫.
If you need an extra kick try the 𝐒𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 supplement 30 minutes before bedtime. You should not use this supplement every night but you can rotate it through your bedtime routines. You can also try 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐏𝐫𝐨 which is great for supporting immune health. Both supplements contain melatonin which is why you don’t want to take either of them all the time.
Recap
There’s so much to love that Young Living has to offer. Oils to support focus, energy, calming, sleep, respiratory, and emotions are just the tip of the iceberg. Grab a good essential oil reference guide so you can use oils to support you in every facet of your health.
We also covered that good health starts in your gut and how it's important to support brain and heart health. We touched on how we MUST make good choices when it comes to what we put on, pour on, rub onto our skin. Young Living makes body care products, skincare and make up so easy to make that switch.
