They pay attention to presentation in their packaging as well as in their associated products. In preparation for the Grand Tour, I splurged and bought the Bon Voyage Travel Pack this month. I already use all the products, but I wanted the convenient travel size bottles with the labels already on them. At first glance, this seems expensive. I mean, I can pick up a travel toiletries kit for less than $10 at Walmart. Why would I pay $55 for this one? I don&#8217;t know. Call me crazy, but I did.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I got (the next three paragraphs are copied from Young Living&#8217;s product listing with my impressions added in parenthesis):<\/p>\n<p>Bon Voyage offers 10 Young Living personal care products in an attractive, custom bag. All products are TSA-compliant and are perfect for sharing your favorite products wherever you travel.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Thieves\u00ae AromaBright Toothpaste, 60ml. (This is the size I prefer to use at home &#8212; it lasts forever)<\/li>\n<li>Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier, 29.5ml. (I love this stuff &#8212; I&#8217;ve refused to use commercial brands for fear of chemicals)<\/li>\n<li>Thieves Dental Floss (looking forward to trying this)<\/li>\n<li>Thieves Fresh Essence Plus Mouthwash, 60ml. (Again, this is just good mouthwash)<\/li>\n<li>Young Living branded Toothbrush (A bonus)<\/li>\n<li>Lavender Shampoo, 60ml. (I&#8217;ll be adding a few oils and probably siphoning out about half and replacing with water &#8212; this is concentrated)<\/li>\n<li>Lavender Conditioner, 60ml. (I&#8217;ll have to remove 3\/4 of this and add water to get it thin enough to use)<\/li>\n<li>Cinnamint Lip Balm (Yum)<\/li>\n<li>Morning Start\u2122 Bath &amp; Shower Gel, 60ml. (I&#8217;ll add a few oils to this as well)<\/li>\n<li>Genesis\u2122 Hand &amp; Body Lotion, 60ml. (I confess, this isn&#8217;t one of my favorites, but I&#8217;ll use it on the road)<\/li>\n<li>ART Light Moisturizing Cream, 10g (Another product I really like)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These travel-sized toiletries make Bon Voyage convenient as well as compact\u2014a perfect size for carry-ons or handbags offering you a complete collection of personal care essentials when you are on the road.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is the bag attractive, it&#8217;s a very nice quality, padded fabric exterior with a waterproof lining material. The good quality zipper has a very nice pull, and opens and closes smoothly. The mesh see-through sides are lined with clear plastic, protecting the contents of your suitcase in case anything leaks. I found plenty of room to add my AromaGuard Meadow Mist Deodorant (some people, believe it or not, use the toothpaste for deodorant, so if you want to save space&#8230;). See? Spacious, quality, and tasteful.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13486\" src=\"https:\/\/pmtoo.jeanschara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/IMG_3792-e1483374104814.jpg\" alt=\"Bon Voyage Travel Kit\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is one example of attention to detail, but there are plenty more. Another aspect of Young Living that most people don&#8217;t think about at first is customer service from the company itself. Inevitably, something will go wrong, and you&#8217;ll need to contact Customer Service. The first time this happened, I dreaded the idea. In fact, I let my upline do it, but when things got resolved quickly and easily, I decided to take a chance and contact them myself the next time something wasn&#8217;t quite right. They were great &#8212; and no matter what medium I use, telephone, online chat, or email, they are just great. Pleasant and focused on fixing whatever needs fixing. I can&#8217;t say that about a lot of companies, but I can wholeheartedly say that about Young Living.<\/p>\n<p>Jean Schara, Young Living Distributor Number 3314775<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11244\" src=\"https:\/\/pmtoo.jeanschara.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/YL_ID_2014_logo_fullcolor.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"666\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/YL_ID_2014_logo_fullcolor.jpg 666w, https:\/\/jeanschara.com\/pmtoo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/YL_ID_2014_logo_fullcolor-300x107.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 666px) 100vw, 666px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c  no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am inspired by Young Living&#8217;s Seed to Seal commitment; however, their commitment to quality goes beyond what&#8217;s inside the bottle.
