An Old Opinion Research Essay

Made this last school year. It’s about MLMs (Multi-level Marketing) and why I think they should be illegal

Thousands of dollars. You don’t make thousands, you pay thousands. You don’t sell thousands, you recruit thousands. You don’t get paid to work, you pay to work. Welcome to MLMs, the most unethical world of business where everything is a scam. It deserves to be banned, gone from the reach of the people who run them. For the safety of the workers.

MLMs- Multi-level Marketing- companies pop up a lot in the modern day. Have you ever gotten a Facebook message from somebody, likely with an eye bleeding amount of emojis, claiming to know you from somewhere pitching a product? That’s an MLM worker, no doubt. While most see them as annoying at worst, these companies that these workers come from have been proven, as from testimony by former workers, the FTC, and multiple state lawsuits, to have destroyed finances, careers, friendships, and lives while breaking the law. Many have been accused of or been charged with illegal activity- operating a pyramid scheme.

Any amount of research will bring up how horrible some companies can get. Being repulsed at the practices is one thing, but how do we prevent them from harming workers? I argue a full ban on the practice. With already tight regulations and monitoring by the FTC, MLMs are in hot water. Still, illegal pyramid schemes manage to bypass the law and operate until it’s too late (hello Advocare, like your lawsuit?). The best way to deal with MLMs is simply banning the practice.

Bans may not be the best, but they can be necessary. Prepare to feel a mix of shame, disguise, anger, and bitter hopelessness for humanity.

Corporate can be a dictator. Many people, including former workers, heavily argue the point that many MLMs are morally and legally wrong. They have no base pay and hide under a “make as much as you want” claim. In reality, workers buy products from the company to sell to consumers, and when they don’t sell, often due to the terrible quality and horrible company reputation, they are essentially being paid under minimum wage with negative wage counts! Financial reports show that, during a year in an MLM, the majority percent of employees lost money, some broke even with joining packages and product costs (which cost thousands of dollars), and less than 5% made money, and less than 1% reached or exceeded the annual national minimum wage ($15,080)

In addition, workers who quit MLMs are often shamed by supervisors and friends still in the company. They get harassed online through texts and Facebook for breaking free. Friendships are broken in split seconds. Lives are left fragments of what they once were. Families fight and argue and refuse to communicate with each other due to associating with these companies. A video by Vice News, which is highly recommended to watch, tells the stories of women who have left MLMs and the shame that was placed on them. In addition to their terrible financial situation, it documents how much shame was put on these women who are left friendless, leaving friends for the company and leaving the company with fake “friends”. MLM workers are encouraged to sell to family and friends, and one worker has stated that “every conversation turned into a sales pitch”. Any human would leave a friend who did that.

On the other hand, people argue that MLM products are legit and that they are perfectly legal and not pyramid schemes. They say that, without legal action, MLMs are fine to operate. They argue that a pyramid scheme is a solid definition that requires many boxes to be checked, and that MLMs don’t check enough. They may call them “Anti-pyramids”, which is a funnel and shows more on the top than the bottom and the money still goes to the one guy on the bottom and that’s still a horrible business model for a dozen reasons, but that’s beyond the point. These could have good backing to them. When the research is done, however, even on social media, these people are often corporate workers who run these MLMs and bank millions or other workers (who many call “Huns”) who are in denial about their workplace being a scam (they may also be arguing this case even if they understand the truth).

It is also important to understand that the other side will defend their word with flamethrower and shield, even if the flamethrower is a knockoff that doesn’t even work and the shield is a sad excuse for a thing made of atoms. Workers post pictures online of their new “expensive” things they bought with money from their “job”. Many have debunked these as fakes, including noted images of clearly empty bags that were supposedly filled with stuff (classic fake-rich tactic right there). This is easily found, since if the poster refuses to show a top view or take the items out, you don’t trust that anything is in the bag. Many in the Anti-MLM community realize and share their findings on how the evidence and claims made by these people are next to nothing in value. It makes them incredibly petty and decays their point. Like rotting flesh.

Most of that evidence is little slaps to MLMs. The big problems come when states start suing them. Oh, yeah, MLMs from Advocare to Young Living to LulaRoe have been sued for years. States, ranging from Idaho to California, have accused these companies of operating illegal pyramid schemes. Warehouses have sued LulaRoe over not receiving payment for storage. LulaRoe has been sued over cross-state taxation (taxing buyers in states with no tax who purchase from workers in states with tax). Federal government agencies have reprimanded MLMs as well, most noticeably in a case against Young Living where a man died in a distillery due to severe safety code violations, such as lack of training and not providing respirators in the high-chemical environment. Note, these are only some well-known companies and their well-known lawsuits.

Deception is rampant in MLMs, and consumers are being lied to almost constantly. Young Living used to claim a Seed to Seal standard and having 100% pure essential oils. Not only was it revealed that they source from multiple farms, which makes the Seed to Seal claim highly unlikely, independent lab tests show birch and jasmine oils produced by the company were, in fact, synthetic. Worse, one study done by the State of California showed higher than acceptable levels of a chemical known for producing cyanide inside the body in Young Living’s oils. This was not mentioned anywhere by Young Living- not on the bottle, not online, not anywhere, which is an offense in California. They were, like previously, sued over this serious health and safety matter since they sold their products in the state.

It should be obvious that Young Living’s products are not the most trustworthy, regardless of your opinion on essential oils. That could be applied to all MLM products. LulaRoe leggings are notorious for ripping, even in the first wear. Herbalife’s powders and mixes, especially their soup reportedly, have been called by people such as John Oliver as tasting “like wood shavings” (this was a continued joke in his televised segment on Multi-level Marketing, another good watch for more info). When looking at prices, such as LulaRoe leggings costing $30+ bucks for a quality $10 Walmart leggings with better, non eye-bleeding designs far surpass, the word “scam” pops up in New York City lights.

John Oliver in his segment also went into detail on how, while distributors lose thousands on MLMs they work for, their founders and CEOs can afford meetings that I can only describe as an 80s metal concert if everybody there was on some serious drugs. Some things that occur range from overly enthusiastic live announcers, CEOs coming out as “Welcome to the Jungle” plays, and screaming at the grave of a man named Joe Nobody, dated 1952- about how much he could’ve done with his life if he had just joined his MLM. Are laughing out loud at the thought of all this? It’s real, and you can find the Joe Nobody clip and more in the John Oliver episode online. It’s on-the-floor-laughing levels of ridiculous. One can only imagine being at any MLM meeting, host, worker, or random guy, in person is an accurate simulation of an acid trip for all parties involved.

How does this add up to a pyramid scheme? With the previously stated knowledge in mind, look at the employees. Those Facebook messages from before? Those can be recruitment messages. These often target mothers, those of color, and those of specific religions depending on the MLM. For example, LulaRoe often has single or unemployed mothers as distributors. On its website, the FTC notes that promises of extravagant lifestyles, wealth, and “high-pressure tactics” during recruiting are prominent red flags for any business. Guess who milks these until the cow runs red? MLM recruiters. While I don’t trust Reddit for factual info often, there are credible accounts of this practice on such subreddits as r/AntiMLM and r/LuLaNo.

The big problem is that MLMs may pay their employees for recruitment. The FTC says that “Your recruits, the people they recruit, and so on, become your sales network, or ‘downline’. If the MLM is not a pyramid scheme, it will pay you based on your sales to retail customers, without having to recruit new distributors”. The way it often works when a Pyramid Scheme is in place is that those higher up in the pyramid get a percent of commission from those they have recruited, those recruit’s recruits, and so on. Pyramid schemes require active participation for this often only check, which requires more money for products that will never sell and, as the saying goes, “get left in a garage.” The FTC notices this is a practice utilized by pyramid schemes. A former LulaRoe (funny how LulaRoe pops up so much) worker high up on the corporate ladder on the previously mentioned Vice News clip claims to have been receiving these commissions, with checks from the company proving it. MLMs have systems of ranks, which are often named after anything from crystals to management positions, and guess what those more than not focus on? How many people you recruited. Higher up you are, the higher percent of commission, the more money you get.

That, fellow readers, are the bones of pyramid schemes. You don’t grow a business with a stable customer base and happy employees, you make more people fall into it and destroy their lives. Former work testimonies say that supervisors actively encourage recruiting over selling. It’s a cycle of new and quitting members.

It should be obvious. Horrible quality, product not worth the price, constant lying to consumers, lawsuits galore, and the foundation of a pyramid scheme and its culture are what make MLMs scams, unethical and borderline illegal. We, as consumers and workers, should call for a ban on this business model to protect sales and underclass workers from a practice that harbors illegal schemes. If a company wishes to grow, it should in an ethical way that isn’t a pyramid scheme coverup! The FTC says that pyramid schemes “can look remarkably like legitimate MLM business opportunities” and so taking part in any MLM is a risky venture to the highest degree. Even legit MLMs have the same issues as pyramid schemes, since the lack of buying due to terrible reputation causes equal wage and financial issues as stated earlier. MLM and pyramid scheme operators milk money from their employees. As Bo Burham’s song “Repeat Stuff” says, they’ll “stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money.” We need to stop them from beating the dead horse of MLMs so they can’t collect the money it spits out at them. And the best way to get rid of a dead horse is to bury it.

Bury the horse, they cannot get the money. Will you grab a shovel and start burying it, or will you watch as people continue to beat it?

Welcome!

Hello!

My name is Ashley and I’ve recently become an independent distributor for Young Living Essential Oils! I created this blog to help others learn about essential oils, their history, uses, potential benefits, how to use them, when not to use them, and more while utilizing a platform so everyone can ask questions and add their own comments. If you have a question, comment, concern, suggestion, etc, that you don’t want to share publicly, everyone is always welcome to send me a message!

My goal is to use this blog as a platform for education and learning. If you are interested in purchasing Young Living products with me, please send me a message and I will help you. I do not want this blog to be centered around people purchasing products though. I simply want to share what I have learned, what I am still learning about, ways that you may be a better, happier, and healthier you, and more.

I have a few disclaimers I need everyone to be aware of as you go through this blog:

I am NOT a medical professional or a doctor. I cannot and these products cannot diagnose or treat a disease. These products may potentially provide benefits to you but that does not mean that they will work for everyone.

These products do not replace modern medicine. These products do not replace doctor visits and wellness check ups. These products have not been approved by the FDA.

Not everyone should use these products (example: pregnant ladies!) If you are using them, please tell your doctor what you are using, how you are using them, and how often you use them.

https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/essential-oils-market#:~:text=The%20global%20essential%20oils%20market%20size%20was%20estimated%20at%20USD,USD%2018.6%20billion%20in%202020.&text=The%20global%20essential%20oils%20market%20is%20expected%20to%20grow%20at,USD%2033.3%20billion%20by%202027.

How big is the essential oil market?

The global essential oils market size was estimated at USD 17.2 billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 18.6 billion in 2020.

What is the essential oil market growth?

The global essential oils market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.5% from 2020 to 2027 to reach USD 33.3 billion by 2027

Which segment accounted for the largest essential oils market share?

Europe dominated the essential oils market with a share of 43.65% in 2019. This is attributable to easy feedstock availability and the presence of major industry players in the region.

Who are the key players in essential oils market?

Some key players operating in the essential oils market include DoTerra; Young Living Essential Oils; Essential Oils of New Zealand; The Lebermuth Company; NOW Foods; India Essential Oils; Flavex Naturextrakte GmbH; Ungerer and Company, Inc.; and West India Spices Inc.

What are the factors driving the essential oils market?

Key factors that are driving the market growth include rising awareness regarding health benefits of naturally sourced oils along with increasing number of people showing inclination towards aromatherapy.

Product Insights

The orange oil emerged as the prominent product segment in 2019 with a volume share of approximately 23.0%. Major end-use industries such as cosmetics are progressively using orange essential oil for developing sensory appeal and improving the product value. This oil is believed to promote elasticity and firm and tone up the skin. It is also known to treat stretch marks, dermatitis, and acne. The oil also helps in enhancing the quality of skin, nails, and hair, thus boosting their popularity among young women. Growing working women population, along with their rising disposable income, is expected to boost the segment growth.

Peppermint oil is also considered one of the most versatile essential oils as it can be used internally, topically, and aromatically. The major ingredients present in this oil are menthone and menthol. Healthcare applications of peppermint oil include the treatment of headaches, cold, sinus, and muscle pain. Companies in the peppermint oil market can be divided into international and local buyers. Local/domestic buyers include small-scale pharmaceutical, chemical, flavoring, and food companies. International buyers can be categorized into personal healthcare, cosmetics, flavor and fragrance, and aromatherapy industries with a global presence, thus triggering the demand for these oils.

Application Insights

Spa and relaxation held the largest volume share of more than 39.0% in 2019 and is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. The growth of this segment has been primarily attributed to the changing lifestyle of consumers around the world. Busy and hectic lifestyle has created a significant requirement for stress-relieving therapies, which is driving the demand for aromatherapy.

Food and beverage emerged as one of the major application segments in 2019 with a volume share of 38.6% and is expected to expand at the fastest CAGR from 2020 to 2027. Ascending demand for natural, safe, and minimally processed food products across the globe emerged as the major factor expanding the application scope of essential oils in food and beverage applications. Antimicrobial properties of these oils help preserve food and beverage products for a longer duration. Growing focus of food and beverage manufacturers on increasing product shelf life without compromising quality is another major factor boosting the growth of this application segment.

Sales Channel Insights

Direct selling emerged as the key sales channel in 2019 with a volume share of over 70.0%. Increasing awareness among people regarding essential oil has given rise to more retail sales, especially through convenience stores. However, top players such as doTerra and Young Living Essential Oils have adopted multi-level marketing strategies to expand their business and improve their sales. Furthermore, most of the importers and wholesalers have launched websites for online sales, along with their existing over-the-counter sales. Distribution channels for selling the products are likely to become complex as some sellers focus purely on online sales to increase their geographic reach.

In line with this, they attract and recruit several consumers as independent distributors by offering compensation plans and providing attractive discounts as well as gifts. In recent years, doTerra alone has managed to achieve 5 million global customers of which 70% are wholesale customers. These platforms help increase the reach of their products, spread awareness and eventually boost sales.

Regional Insights

Europe dominated the market with a share of 43.65% in 2019 in terms of volume. Presence of organizations such as the European Federation of Essential Oils (EFEO) has benefitted the industry growth in Europe. EFEO was formed to promote and safeguard the interests of stakeholders across the market value chain. The organization is in discussions with the European Commission, along with the EU Parliament, to amend or introduce legislation concerning essential oils. Such trends have benefitted the market growth in the region. Easy feedstock availability and the presence of various industry players are the major factors behind the robust market growth in Europe. Early developed economy, along with a higher standard of living, is contributing to the growth of key end-use industries. DOMINATING

Asia Pacific is projected to witness the fastest growth over the forecast period. The growth in this region is primarily attributed to the presence of a large population, along with various untapped markets, which are likely to attract key players’ attention to expand and establish their operation and distribution facilities in this region.

The outbreak of coronavirus in China in December 2019 and further spread to Italy have led to a lockdown in the country to prevent the spread of contagion. Due to the increasing number of patients and rising death count in the country, the Government has taken some preventive measures such a shutting down of industrial and commercial firms, such as manufacturing units, plants, shops, and factories, thus hampering production as well as import-export. These factors are estimated to result in huge economic losses in the region, which is further estimated to hamper the market growth in the short term.

What Are Essential Oils And How Do They Work?

It is worthwhile to make a habit of using essential oils if you want a healthy life. Essential oils are a form of alternative medicine that uses plant extracts to support health and well-being. These oils capture the plant’s scent and essence, thus called “essential oils”. They are often used in aromatherapy, in which they are inhaled through various methods. This can further stimulate areas of your limbic system, which is a part of your brain that plays a role in behaviors, emotions, sense of smell, and long-term memory. Since the limbic system also plays a role in controlling several unconscious physiological functions, like breathing, blood pressure, etc, therefore essential oils can exert a physical effect on your body.

There are several types of essential oils available today which makes it very difficult to choose them. Here are some of the essential oils that offer a wide variety of health benefits. Each essential oil holds the power to make you feel good. Here it goes.

1. Lavender essential oil

Lavender essential oil is anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, anti-anxiety, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antibacterial, anesthetic, anti-carcinogenic, immune-boosting, sedative and antiviral. It’s perhaps the most gentle, versatile, and effective essential oil out there. It is effective in treating hair fall, anxiety and fungal infections. Young living essential oils independent distributors provide the best quality essential oils.

2. Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil is anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and shows anti-cancer activity. It can treat gingivitis, kill oral bacteria for up to two weeks, heal mild to moderate dandruff, and kill the influenza virus. This oil is also responsible to slow and even reverse the growth of tumors in mice. Tea tree oil works like benzoyl peroxide to treat acne. It may take longer, but has fewer side effects and less drying than benzoyl peroxide. It’s a great spot treatment.

3. Lemon essential oil

Lemon essential oil is a powerful astringent and antiseptic agent, which makes it a great ingredient in DIY home cleaners. It is antibacterial as well and contains a high concentration of D-limonene, a compound that diminishes the appearance of wrinkles and promotes circulation and tones the skin. According to recent research, D-limonene exhibits powerful skin-repairing and anti-inflammatory properties. The lemon essential oil can make the skin highly photosensitive, so be careful.

4. Clary sage essential oil

Clary sage essential oil is antibacterial, antiseptic and can help improve circulation. This oil is highly praised for its ability to regulate hormones. The scent of clary sage essential oil is thought to have antidepressant effects, which makes it a fantastic “time of the month” treatment. According to a 2014 study which included twenty-two postmenopausal women in their fifties, breathing diffused clary sage helped to alleviate participants’ depression. It lowered their cortisol levels and improved the thyroid hormone levels.

You can heal your body and mind by understanding many benefits of essentials oil. Make sure to use them correctly, they can have several side-effects as well.

The Young Living Difference

Welcome to our new series Thursday Night Live. Every Thursday Night we will be covering a wide range of topics. Enjoy the first presentaion of the series given on May 23, 2019 entitled, "The Young Liveing Difference". The video link is at the end of the presentation.

The Young Living Difference So, how did it Young Living begin? Our community of wellness started small in 1993, when D. Gary and Mary Young developed their first organic herb farming and distillation operation. In 1994 Young Living was established with farmland growing various herbs in Utah and Idaho.

Since then, Young Living has grown to become the world leader in essential oils and wellness solutions. Headquartered in Utah, it continues to expand the number of offices and farms it has around the world while staying true to the Young’s original vision. Young Living is still expanding their resume of Farms and Partnerships

Farmers and Partners around the world Young Living has locations on 6 continents and in more than 30 countries. Their global presence is undisputed. Even with global growth, Young Living is committed to constantly improve when creating pure, potent essential oils and products through environmentally conscious methods. It’s not only about the number of farms we have, but also the quality and integrity of them. It’s not uncommon for Young Living to be in talks with a potential partner for decades before they become part of the family. It’s been proven that not all Essential oils are created equal.

The Pyramid But not everyone understands the importance of this, and the harm that can be done when you use an essential oil that has synthetic chemicals or has been harvested in an unsafe manner. The slide shows the wide range of quality found on the market. And there are not regulations in place, when in a store you’ll likely to pick up a Grade C essential oil that is labeled as 100% pure, but in reality it may only have 5-10% of actual essential oil and the rest is full of synthetics and fillers. It’s scary as they can do more harm than good. Notice they have use by dates and say ‘do not ingest’, or even ‘don’t apply to the skin’ If that’s the case this is something you don’t want to be breathing in either. Young Living always produces Grade A - it doesn’t compromise with the quality of their essential oils, so why should you? Why avoid fragrances with harmful synthetic chemicals or fillers only to use an essential oil that is full of them. There are simple tests you can do to see the quality of your essential oil. I highly recommend that you compare and contrast brands with tests such as freezing, synergy, aroma and filler testing. I can give more details to those that want to take the time to do this, and once you have you’ll have no doubt which brand to choose. You’ll hear many of us talk about Seed To Seal & it’s importance

Sead to Seal For the best and most powerful essential oils… sourcing of the plant, science AND standards are ALL vital. That means knowing exactly where the seed has been sourced, all the way to the essential oil being sealed in it’s bottle. Please check out the website seedtoseal.com for more details, but as a quick overview: Sourcing

Sourcing Again, no compromises, including any kind of synthetic, contaminants, cheap fillers or the use of unethical production practices…you can see on the left hand side of the slide, the various ways where all YL partners must meet the highest standards. Did you know you can visit and EXPLORE any of Young Living Farms, including their distilleries? Science

Science The Research & Development Team is a major reason why Young Living has such a wide range of essential oils and other products that have been tested for the highest quality. Plus independent third party testing is also conducted to ensure integrity. Young Living has state-of-the-art labs and industry leading research. Standards Young Living sets the bar not only for essential oil quality, but also sustainability, compliance and being ‘green’ throughout the world. Protecting and sustainably sourcing plants as well as supporting local communities is part of our stewardship that Young Living takes seriously.

Standards This has also led to the Young Living Foundation.

Giving Back Already you can see this slide is out-dated, as so far it has now supported over 170 charities and causes in various countries, impacting over 250,000 individual lives. And what’s rare and incredible about this foundation compared to others? 100% of all donations support actual projects as Young Living pays all administrative costs. Please check out younglivingfoundation.org to find out the amazing work they do. It’s moving what can be done when people work together. Young Living’s members have A Community too.

Convention For our family, it was about getting rid of all kinds of toxins. This isn’t something you can do overnight, our bodies and lifestyles are complicated. However, we’re on a journey and love that we can share it with others, while also learning from them too! You’re not on your own! You can be involved with and support others as much, OR as little as you want. That’s the beauty…it’s up to you. The good thing is that there is support in various kinds throughout our community - you pick and choose what suits you! 40,000 plus of us will be descending on Salt Lake City in Utah in July. It doesn’t matter which Young Living team you’re on, you get to connect with others that are also striving for Wellness, Purpose and Abundance, which is Young Living’s motto. Young Living is more than just essential oils.

Product lines for throughout the home. As mentioned, for us it was all about getting rid of toxins, and that means being aware of what you breathe into your body and also put onto your skin. That also includes for our children and pets too! Hence Young Living has product lines for throughout the home… personal care, babies & kids, make-up, health & fitness, supplements, nutrition, animal care and much more. From the very beginning Young Living produced supplements. There’s even science behind having essential oils in your supplements as they are more efficient and work better with your body. Synergy of ingredients is very important. My degree isn’t in science, but there are plenty of reference books and speakers out there to help us understand it better one step at a time. It’s fascinating. But the Seed to Seal commitment, that we went through a couple of minutes ago, and dedication that Young Living has, to have the highest quality farms and partnerships has lead to the development of over 600 products, around 300 of which are essential oils and essential oil blends. No other company has the resources for that, while also measuring up to the seed to seal. Service Matters Too

Service We may all be fans of Amazon Prime, but just like other products there are multiple knocks off sold on that site. As it was drummed into me at school…Buyer beware. Young Living nor any of its distributors are allowed to sell on sites like amazon or Ebay for good reason. There are videos out there that show you how to replace a lid so it looks like it’s come directly from the factory, but instead has been filled with synthetics and fillers for a profit. It’s scary. That’s why they can be found for significantly reduced prices. They look real, but their contents are not, and the harm they can do physically is not worth the risk. It takes 60,000 rose blossoms to provide only one ounce of Rose oil. So do you really think a bottle should only cost you $10? However, when it comes to customer service - Young Living are amazing! I’m sure they diffuse ‘Joy’ in their call center. They are super friendly and helpful whenever I call them, which is extremely rare. And if you ever have a delay in your shipment, remember…they are shipping out thousands upon thousands of fun parcels everyday and no two shipments are ever the same. And take advantage of the YL Go and YL Go Plus shipment programs - my monthly box arrives so much quicker now, no matter its size. Love it. But There’s much more to it… It’s not until you use the products regularly and see the results, and then dive in deeper to learn about the power of essential oils that you can better grasp why Young Living are the world leaders in essential oils, and how they are making a difference to so many around the world. They can even benefit you and your family. Yes, there are other safe natural based companies out there, but you have to know the source of ingredients to truly understand what is being slipped into products without you knowledge. It’s scary what some companies do for extra profit, but Young Living has always been about finding a solution first, before profit. This is why we have some amazing products that we can be confident about. Young Living is a product driven company and this is shown with over 90% of members only buying products for themselves and not taking advantage of the business opportunity. Their products work, so people keep coming back for more. So I hope you all found this overview helpful, whether you’ve never heard of Young Living before today, or if it was a reminder of why you chose to use Young Living products in the first place. Next Week, our Thursday Night Live will cover: The How, What, When, Where, Who & Why of Essential Oils Whether you’re new to essential oils or you want a quick refresher course, this will take you back to the basics of essential oils so you can have the confidence to use essential oils safely and understand why they are so popular.

A Little About Me

Hello everyone!

My name is Ashley. I’m 26 years old and I live in West Virginia. I work at a horse farm and help train horses, teach riding lessons, and manage most of the marketing. I am also a Young Living Independent Distributor and I recently opened up a small handmade business as well!

I’ve always loved being around horses. I’ve ridden horses since I was 10. I grew up riding American Saddlebreds and then switched to Quarter Horses around the time I graduated high school. I don’t have a favorite breed honestly, I love all horses all the same. I currently have a 4-year-old American Saddlebred gelding named Ritzy and he’s the light of my life!

I became an independent distributor for Young Living in April 2019. I absolutely love sharing and educating others about essential oils and all the potentials ways they may help improve your health, home, and lifestyle.

My handmade business, HMADE, is finally picking up! I make homemade bath salt soaks, soaps, bath bombs, lotions, and more. I also enjoy making cute wall hangings like horseshoe dreamcatchers.

In my spare time (I do actually have some!), I love learning anything and everything I can. I’ll be honest and say that I was never very good at college but, online courses are perfect for me. I’m currently going through several courses such as entrepreneurship, aromatherapy, and herbalism.

As always, feel free to comment, send questions, concerns, and suggestions in a note or on a post! I’ll answer everything as best as I can!

Springtime DIY Decor & More https://ift.tt/2JmgLFv

Good bye winter! Arrivederci! Helloooooo Spring, my long lost pal! Welcome! Sunshine is the best medicine and am I every ready! How about you?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Spring! Finally! Can I get an “amen”?! I’m so in love with the longer days, the sunshine and warmer temps. It’s motivation for Spring cleaning and decluttering, refreshing and creativity! Right? Same for you? Let’s take a walk down memory lane and look at some past DIYShowOff Spring decorating projects:

Spring floral centerpiece – I love fresh flowers and I think it’s the perfect time to grab a bouquet from the grocery store. Split it up into several smaller fresh bouquets for a spring touch bedside, on the bathroom vanity and desktop but a new silk/faux arrangement for the dining room table lasts longer! Bonus: Zero maintenance.

How about a fun spring craft project? Gather up some friends, finger foods, a fresh essential oil infused water bar and get creative with a Spring succulents arrangement – succulents in robins’ eggs…what cuties!

Think ahead! April showers bring May flowers. This would be a fun spring fling get-together too! Put that Silhouette or Circuit to good use! Decorate your Rain Boots – personalize with vinyl!

Spring entertaining – it’s almost time for outdoor gatherings! My dog is already asking for me to move her cushion to the sunlight streaming through the French doors. lol! I can’t wait to be out on the patio.

Do you decorate for the change in seasons? Spring mantel – this past mantelscape had so much charm, didn’t it? It’s been a while since I’ve decorated my mantel for Spring but I’m working on one for this year. Check back with me next week. The studio could use a bit of Spring bling!

Spring break is coming up! Freshen up the guest room with some Spring accents. Check out this Spring bloom pillow cover tutorial. So cute!

Create a pretty Spring floral arrangement, add some French accents for a SpringTime in Paris vignette. I’ve never been. Have you? Tell me all about it! Romantic? Inspiring? This is as close as I’m getting for a while.

SpringTime in Paris

Harsh winter ice storms and high winds brought down a TON of branches here in our yard. Time to whip up an easy Spring branch centerpiece! Seriously! This is about the EASIEST DIY ever! Grab a twig or branch from the yard and give it a coat of spray paint. Add a mini-nest and some eggs. Cheap! Cheap!

Not convinced to browse the floral aisle at your local craft store yet?

Here’s another Spring centerpiece – add a twist. I love this artichoke nestled in there. Butterflies, birds, nests, lemons. Try adding a fun unexpected element to keep it interesting!

SPRING into essential oils!

Is what you put into your body important to you? Me too! ‘m pretty sure by now that you’ve heard a lot about essential oils, right? ::groan:: and ::eye roll:: <— that was my initial reaction too! lol! What IS all the fuss about? It’s not something new. It’s not just something trendy. It’s all about living about the wellness line and supporting our body systems. It’s about surrounding yourself with less toxins and creating a chemical free home.

Spring scents: ditch the chemical filled synthetic fragrances and breathe in some fresh air!

Spring Cleaning!

Ditch & Switch! This bottle of Thieves Household Cleaning is AH-MAZING! We use it on every surface. It smells good, doesn’t have the harsh chemicals and does an awesome job! There’s a sample packet that makes two 16 oz. spray bottles included in the premium starter kit. Bonus! You will LOVE it!

So grateful someone shared with me: When I first heard, I thought it was some temporary popular trend and I tuned it out. la-la-la-la-la!!!!!! But nearly 4 years ago on a blogging retreat, two of my blog buddies shared essential oils with me…I have a bit of an issue with traveling which causes some uncomfortable side effects (TMI! you don’t want to know) and the essential oil shared made all the difference! Oh.my.good.NESS! If it worked for that, how else? In my world at the time, my mom and sister were going through treatments for breast cancer. I was ready and open to making healthier choices. Baby steps. Just starting somewhere.

You guys, I’ve had 6 family members diagnosed with cancer in SIX years! This has to stop!

Essential oils have been around FOREVER and I know that lately they’re ALL THE HYPE but I believe it’s because word of mouth spreads faster these days via social media. They aren’t new. And specifically, Young Living has been around going on 30 years! I was still practically a child (and I’m a grandma now!). That’s not anything bright and shiny and just born. And “Young Living” is THE BRAND everyone wants. Because guess what? Not all essential oils are created equal! What I really love about Young Living is their Seed to Seal Guarantee. They aren’t just buying from a supplier and slapping on a label. Young Living controls the process of planting, harvesting, distilling, bottling, labeling and shipping from their own farms and partner farms from around the world with high standards and lots of testing. In fact,

Young Living is the #1 essential oils company in the world. I am confident that I am getting the best quality essential oil. One other quick point about Young Living…unlike buying a cheap oil from Amazon or WalMart or even TJMaxx (be aware: even a label with 100% pure doesn’t mean that’s the case), I love that I have support, resources and testimonials from personal experiences to help guide me on my oily journey. I’ve never had to work about my health but now I’m empowered to research, to learn more and to embrace wellness. When someone tells me they tried an essential oil and it didn’t work, I’m pretty sure they tried a fragrance or lower grade, not the quality of Young Living essential oils.

Seasons Changing:

Spring brings about some seasonal changes. Be prepared!

SPRING is all about renewal and growth. It’s a GREAT time to get started on a wellness journey! Young Living is running a …
