Are you someone that would love to stay in bed a little longer in the morning yet feel more energized when you do get up? Then check out my 90-Day Wake Up Challenge over in my Facebook Group.
Watch Pamela’s video for her morning routine (the audio can be a little hard to hear, but the video shows you what to do). Why would you do this? It gets the synovial fluid moving in your joints providing lubrication and gently extends and contracts muscles, preparing them, and you, to face the day. Plus, you’ve accomplished something before you even get out of bed! How cool is that?
If this looks like something you would do, Join the Group and comment, “I’m in.” on the post.
Each week, stop in to the 90-Day Wake Up Challenge Unit and comment on that week’s post about your experience that week. If you miss a day, that’s okay. If you don’t do the full program, that’s okay. Just tell us what you did do and your experience with it.
Do that for each week of the challenge.
Upon satisfactory completion of the challenge (you made your entry during each week of the challenge), I’ll ask for your mailing address, and I’ll send you a 5 ml bottle of Peppermint Vitality — just in time for hot cocoa season.
I hope to see you there. This is a basic first step to self-care and a better life.
When
I started, I knew absolutely zero about essential oils. I had a Premium
Starter Kit. I had a NingXia Red Essential Rewards Kit, and I had a
desk reference. I had my bonuses for that month, because my order earned
them, and I had a couple other products I’d decided to try, including
the soon to go out of stock for almost two years original Valor blend.
After I placed the order, my sister offered to let me try NingXia Red,
and she got me a packet from her car. Fortunately, I liked it.
That was almost the best order I could have done. A better order would have been the Premium Starter Kit (PSK), the NingXia Red Essential Rewards Kit, and the Thieves Essential Rewards Kit. That would have given me a complete home and personal package. But you know what? It’s all good. I got the Thieves Essential Rewards Kit a few months later and never missed a beat.
I’m
going to let you in on a secret. I’ve been involved in Young Living for
almost three years, and while I have plenty of oils, I’m only just now
beginning to use them. Why? Several reasons but the primary one was I
just didn’t “get” them. What did I get? Supplements.
And checking
back over my orders do you know what my first supplement order was for?
Surprisingly (to me), it was the Cleansing Trio Kit. This kit is
comprised of ICP, Essentialzyme, and ComforTone. Each product is
designed to clean the digestive tract, assist in food digestion, and
move waste and impurities from the digestive tract. It’s a basic kit
that does a body a lot of good.
Supplements
made sense to me. I was already using them, and I was comfortable with
them. First, I transitioned from my regular brand to Young Living. And
guess what? I bought my next new-to-me supplement with my Essential
Rewards points I’d earned on my monthly order. Master Formula. To me,
that’s a foundational multivitamin. I wash Master Formula and other
supplements down in the morning with a packet of NingXia Red.
Remember, NingXia Red cleanses, nourishes, and supports your immune system. One 2 oz packet at a time.
Then I began studying my desk reference and other books, trying to learn how to raise my wellness line.
I
should have replaced Fish Oil, but I’m guessing I’d just bought a big
bottle of it and didn’t want to waste it. Instead, my next supplement
purchase was Multigreens. I’d heard people rave about this product. And I
have to admit, I perceived an increase in energy and thought I felt a
little more pep in my step when I started taking it. Maybe I’m more of a
plant than I thought I was.
I think of this product as “getting
all my vegetables.” Why is that? It’s a nutritious chlorophyll formula
comprised of spirulina, alfalfa sprouts, barley grass, bee pollen,
eleuthero, Pacific kelp, and therapeutic grade essential oils.
Next, I switched to OmegaGize, which, unlike my big bottle of Fish
Oil, also has CoQ10, so I got an improved product. In addition to CoQ10,
I got Vitamin D3 and omega-3 fatty acids. These ingredients work
synergistically to support normal brain, heart, eye, and joint health.*
At the same time, I added Essentialzymes-4 to my order.
Essentialzymes-4 is a multi-spectrum enzyme complex specially formulated
to aid digestion of dietary fats, proteins, fiber, and carbohydrates
commonly found in the modern processed
diet. The dual time-release technology releases the animal and
plant-based enzymes at separate times within the digestive tract,
allowing for optimal nutrient absorption.*
I confess I still don’t remember to take the Essentialzymes-4 as often as would be optimal. I’m getting better, though.
I bought a bottle of Sulfurzyme in June of 2016. I put it in a box.
In December of 2017. Please don’t do this with yours when you get it! I
got the capsules, but it comes as a powder as well. Order the version
that works best for how you like to take your supplements.
Sulfurzyme combines wolfberry with MSM, a naturally occurring organic
form of sulfur needed by our bodies every day to maintain the structure
of proteins, protect cells and cell membranes, replenish the connections
between cells, and preserve the molecular framework of connective
tissue.* MSM also supports the immune system, the liver, circulation,
and proper intestinal function while it works to scavenge free radicals.
Wolfberries contain minerals and coenzymes that support the
assimilation and metabolism of sulfur.
I take Super B with this. Super B contains all eight essential
energy-boosting B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, and B12). Super B is
combined with Nutmeg essential oil and bioavailable chelated minerals
such as magnesium, manganese, selenium, and zinc. Since I take Master
Formula in the morning, I take my Super B at night so it can work while
I’m sleeping. Our bodies cannot store B vitamins, so they need to be
replenished daily. If you get more than your body can use, it’s excreted
in your urine. If your urine is a bright orange, you can be confident
you’re getting enough of the Bs.
Remember, I said if you’re coming to Young Living to improve your
overall health and wellness, you’ll want to do three things. 1) Cleanse,
2) Nourish, and 3) Support your immune system.
NingXia Red supports all three, so that’s your foundation. The Cleansing Trio will help your body eliminate waste and waste by-products. Essentialzymes and Essentialzymes-4 will help you get the most out what nutrients are in your foods.
Master Formula, Multigreens, OmegaGize, Sulfurzyme and Super B form a really solid foundation for most people.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention a Probiotic. You have two choices,
Life 9 and MightyPro. MightyPro is the new probiotic released for kids,
but adults like it, too. MightyPr doesn’t require refrigeration, and
once Life 9 is opened, it needs to be kept refrigerated. Choose
whichever one you prefer, but these products ensure all the right thing
are growing in your gut. You won’t be surprised that our probiotics also
support the three main things you joined Young Living to do.
That’s what got me going. What’s the right approach for you?
What’s
right for you is going to vary a little from person to person, but I’m
going to go with what I consider a solid “best” beginning to help you
improve your overall health and wellness.
As you get comfortable
and learn more — you owe it to yourself to study and learn and adjust
for what you decide is best for you — I’m here to get you started on a
solid footing.
You really can’t go wrong with a Premium Starter Kit with your choice of diffuser. I’ve pictured the versatile
Desert Mist below. The PSKs come with 11 oils, which form a
comprehensive base which can be used to support physical, emotional, and
mental well-being.
Next, I
have to tell you, if you’re joining Young Living for personal wellness,
you don’t buy the kit and do nothing else. I’d be doing you a
disservice if I told you that. You need to buy products on a regular
basis, and at first, you need to switch out the products with a lot of
chemicals that just aren’t good for you, your kids, or your pets. We
have a program called Essential Rewards, and if you’re going for the
“best” beginning, you just need to be on it. I’ll tell you more about it
later, but when you sign yourself up, start with the Thieves ER Kit.
This kit allows you to trade out all the cleaning products and most of
your personal care products in your home in one order.
Finally,
you’ll remember I talked about NingXia Red. I got the NingXia Red ER Kit
with my first order, and you can do that, but what I recommend to
people is a 30 ct box of 2 oz NingXia Red packets. If you drink one
packet a day, this will last you a month. (If there are two of you,
order two boxes or split the packet into two shot glasses to drink.)
Remember, this is my recommendation for someone serious about their
wellness. If you’re not serious or if you have financial issues that
make this not feasible, there are other options, but let me explain one
more thing about why this is a good start for you.
Young Living
rewards members who reach certain PV levels with their purchases each
month (each product has a PV value) and this configuration will ensure
you get ALL the bonuses in your first month. You’ll get the 100 PV ER
bonus. You’ll get the 190 ER and regular 190 PV bonus. You’ll get the
250 PV bonus, and you’ll get the 300 PV bonus. Those bonuses are worth
almost half again what you’ve spent purchasing your kit and first
month’s order. (There’s still more goodness that comes from this
configuration in the form of ER points, but that’s for another post.)
That’s a lot of words. Does it make sense? If you have questions,
please ask in comments below. This is YOUR wellness we’re talking about.
You want to understand it.
Getting started is simple. Contact me and let me know you’re ready to go.

You normally find a post here on Thursdays. The first Thursday is about MKE, the second is about Young Living, and the third is a property update. I used to do a fourth post for Tech Stuff, but I’ve been skipping that for so long, I don’t really consider I do it anymore, and I don’t imagine you do either.
I’m going to take July and maybe August off from those posts. But I really should do something on a regular basis here. What would YOU like to see more of, and do you have a preference for when you see it? I plan to continue the cat posts, and they will stay on Saturday (at a minimum).
We have some cool bonuses for June, but hang on to the end, there’s more!
Roman Chamomile has been out of stock for 18-24 months (I don’t remember, it’s been so long). For now, it’s ONLY available as a bonus at the 400 PV level in the US market.
What’s the more? This week is Young Living’s International Grand Convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. And guess what? Today is the day they announce this year’s new products! My plan is to post more later tonight, but follow my Oil4Tinman Facebook page for more timely information.
I absolutely love when the monthly bonuses from Young Living are all or almost all exactly what I can use. (I also love when there are new to me products to try for the first time). And, of course, the bonuses for lower PV orders for Essential Rewards members are …Continue reading →
It’s April. That means the A-Z Challenge is running this month. What is the A-Z Challenge? Bloggers choose a topic (or not) and blog through the alphabet every day in April (except Sundays). Oil4Tinman is playing this year, so head on over and learn about the A-Z of Young Living.

Did you know your body was designed to heal itself?
