Essential oils have become a part of my daily routine in so many ways over the past few years! From using oils to help purely for aromatherapy, to pain relief and now everyday household products, I ALWAYS have something that I need to order. The awesome part about Young Living is their Essential Rewards program. Basically, you spend $50 a month on whatever you want or need, and you earn points that you can use toward FREE products! It is truly amazing how much free product I’ve received over the past year!
Sometimes people tell me “That sounds great, but I don’t use oils enough to spend that per month” or “I don’t even know what I would order”. The cool thing is that there is so much more than just oils! Our hand soap, dish soap, cleaning products, toothpaste, body wash and baby care products are just some examples of everyday items we order from Young Living.
The moment I see that my monthly order has processed and shipped, I get to go on and change up my order for the following month. As I said, we are always in need of something around here since so many of our household and personal products are now coming from Young Living! Here is what is in my order for next month:

Savvy Minerals Hydrating Primer
Of course there is a makeup item in here! I just ran out of my old primer, and have been wanting to try out this new one from Young Living. It is fortified with coconut oil and shea butter and gives a radiant glow, but also helps prep the skin and smooth the surface for foundation. I have been really into hydrating primers since my skin has been pretty dry, and it will be good to use for any matte foundations I use in the warmer months that will *hopefully* be returning to us soon here in Illinois!
Car Vent Diffuser
During an extremely stressful drive up to Door County with three little ones last month, I was really regretting not having a soothing scent to diffuse in the car to calm us all down! This car diffuser quickly went onto my list of necessities. Now I will be able to have a fresh scent on the go for whatever the occasion calls for: invigorating scents for early morning drives, or calming tranquil scents for those stressful rides or when we want the kids to just chill out!

Charcoal Bar Soap
Charcoal is all the rage in personal products! It helps to draw out impurities without stripping the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Young Living’s Charcoal Bar Soap can be used as a face cleanser as well as for the body. I’m going to try it as a body wash first and really get my skin where I want it to be after this harsh, dry winter weather! Here are some of the benefits listed on the YL website:
Orange Blossom Facial Wash
I am so ready for this new face wash! This is formulated with 100% naturally derived ingredients and is formulated for sensitive skin. It removes dirt, makeup and excess oils while still being gentle and not over-drying. I still use the Mirah Luminous Cleansing oil to remove my makeup, but this will be my follow up cleanser to remove anything leftover.It has been awhile since I’ve changed up my face wash, so I am really excited to try this one out!

Seedlings Diaper Rash Cream
Listen, I know this isn’t the most interesting or glamorous product, but we go through A LOT of diaper cream around here, ok?! Those poor little raw bottoms need some gentle care and this has been by far the most effective diaper cream that I’ve used on them, and I have tried so many! First of all, it is made with 100% naturally derived ingredients (always a win for baby skin). Second, it is thick and coats very well (again, a huge win in the diaper cream realm if you didn’t know). Last, it actually smells awesome! Even though we use it often, one tube lasts quite a while because a little goes a long way. Definitely worth the money in my book!
Orange Vitality
Alright I said there were no oils in my order this month, but this is the one I will be getting for free! Anytime you spend certain amounts of PV (purchase volume), you can receive free products along with your order! These promotions change monthly, but depending on how much you spend, you can earn hundreds of dollars worth of free products! Just another one of the perks of Young Living.
So maybe you've been thinking about trying out products, maybe you're interested in what YL has to offer, or maybe you're even considering signing up for Essential Rewards! I hope that this “What’s in my Cart” type of post gave you some ideas and inspiration on where to start! Questions? Contact me at jamie.pontikes@gmail.com or leave a comment below!
