Dear community,
I am super excited that YL have launched Super Vitamin B. This high quality supplement contains activated B vitamins which means that they are perfect for those with MTHFR gene mutation or those who are not getting enough B vitamins from food sources (livers, red meat etc).
Here are some further details about this new supplement
Another high quality supplement from YL!

Dear Community,
I recently had the honor and privilege of visiting YL’s Finca Botanica farm in Ecuador …
When you visit a YL farm, you get to witness not only its Seed to Seal guarantee but also the heart and soul of YL. One of the many things that makes YL unique is that not only do we know where each of our oils comes from but YL allows and encourages members to visit the farms where the plants are grown.
YL is in the business of developing people - physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially.
YL is also in the business of being a protector and a steward of the planet.
This is so rare.
This is my kind of company and these are my kind of people.
I have visited numerous YL farms and this one holds a very special place in my heart.

Dear community,
When Gary Young set out to build a farm in Ecuador a couple of decades ago, he was shocked to discover that a run-down down dilapidated tiny building nearby with cracked walls was a school.
Feeling a deep desire to help, he built a school called the YL Academy so that the impoverished local children have the opportunity to have a quality education, get nutritious meals twice a day, learn languages and musical instruments, learn farming and business skills, and learn to be critical thinkers so as to be the future leaders of Ecuador.
The school has its own farm with animals (chickens, goats, and cows that provide meat, eggs, and raw milk!) and an assortment of plants for their balanced meals.
From what I observed, these students eat more wholefoods and less ultra-processed junk than most Western kids and consequently look happier and healthier with broad faces, wide dental arches, and smiles from ear to ear. Weston A Price would be proud!
The YL Academy is the only school in Ecuador that doesn’t push vaccines, and instead uses and teaches their students, parents, and staff to use YL oils instead of pharmaceuticals for day-to-day issues.
The students and teachers absolutely love the school and feel a deep sense of gratitude and privilege to be there.
YL Academy now has an international baccalaureate program and employs many people in the local community. Their sponsor program helps the students afford this quality education. Anyone can sponsor a child through the YL Foundation website which is what I did and 100% of the funds go to the Foundation. Admin fees are paid by YL.
Will and I had the opportunity to meet and spend the morning with our 15 year old sponsor child Ezequiel and his family. It was heartwarming watching my son Will connect with Ezequiel and his brothers, play soccer together, and learn about each other’s lives.
His parents were so deeply grateful for the support that we are providing. When we said goodbye his mother hugged me so hard, and I cried hard. We left with our hearts cracked open.
It’s a small thing for us but makes a massive difference to the lives of one boy and his family.
Dear community
It was mindblowing reading all of your personal testimonials on THIEVES OIL from last month in the closed Star Anise Essentials FB page – WOW! What a POWERHOUSE of an oil!
I have bottles of Thieves oil all around the house:
One on the oil's shelf for easy access
One in my sock drawer with a roller fitment to roll under my feet before I put shoes and socks on
One in my bathroom next to a bowl of coconut oil for oil pulling (add one drop into a tablespoon of coconut oil for extra antimicrobial boost)
One next to the diffuser in winter
One in the kitchen to add to water if I’m feeling unwell or to add to hot chocolates or in smoothies
One on my bedside table to diffuse in my bedroom diffuser if feeling sniffly and to apply under my feet before bed.
This is what members of our community had to say about the almighty THEIVES oil….
Bottom line: make sure you ALWAYS have THIEVES oil on hand!
Love Soulla

We love the Thieves household cleaner because its:
The cheapest cleaner on the market (A$1.70 to make up)
The most powerful cleaner on the market
Toxic-free (safe for PPP – people, planets and pets)
Smells amazing
Immune boosting
Not dangerous if your kids/pets accidentally ingest it
All purpose for ALL hard surfaces (including marble and wooden floors) so you don’t need separate cleaning agents for different parts of the house. Finally! Praise be to the Lord!
How to make it up: dilute 20ml of concentrate into a 500ml spray bottle with 480ml of water. These make great gifts (esp with Xmas around the corner). Inspire someone you love to go low tox!
Hot tip: add the water FIRST and then the concentrate so that it doesn’t foam up when pouring water in. Leart that the hard way!
To make a Windex (for glass, windows, and mirrors): dilute 5ml of concentrate into a 500ml spray bottle with 495ml of water. This will come to a grand total of $0.40. Bargain! SOOOOOOO much cheaper than Windex at Coles and Woollies. Who said going low tox was exy?!
When done right IT’S CHEAPER THAN THE TOXIC CRAP AT SUPERMARKETS.
Where to get the spray bottles from?
Option 1: From packaging places like New Directions. The links to the spray bottles and trigger sprays (along with recipes) are set out for you in the DIY section of the Oils 101 guide found in the Member Resources page of my website. (If you don’t know the password email me ASAP).
Option 2: you can buy glass bottles (if you prefer glass) from health food/organic shops or other specialty stores.
Option 3: a glass bottle comes with the lovely Natures Homes Essentials Collection. Great gift idea!!!
Now you can clean like a low tox rockstar!

Dear YL community,
Here are 5 ways to make YL more economical so you never have to compromise your and your family's health:
1. STREAMLINE all your personal care products and household cleaning products to YL to available yourself the benefits of the monthly loyalty program and spread your orders out to a minimum of 50 points per month
2. SHARE the products with 1 friend / relative/ colleague etc a month to more than cover the cost of a monthly 50pv order. Share with more people to earn more commissions.
Earn $97.50 for EVERY person you connect with a premium starter bundle.
Earn $65 for EVERY person you connect with a 100-point order that’s not a premium starter bundle.
3. DILUTE the products to stretch the cost out or use them sparingly as they are super concentrated. See the dilution chart in the EO101 guide or the videos in the video gallery- both found in the password protected Member Resources guide. Don’t know the password? Email me ASAP!
I personally dilute:
~ Thieves Household Cleaning Concentrate
(20ml in a 500ml spray bottle for all-purpose cleaner or 5ml in a 500ml spray bottle for glass cleaner).
~ Hand soap and dish soap (rule of thirds - dilute 1/3 third soap with 2/3 water).
~ Shampoo and conditioner (fill space at the top with water and shake well before use)
4. REDEEM loyalty points to get free products and save money as the loyalty points under the loyalty program are HUGE!!!! You earn up to 25% of your order in loyalty points.
5. Purchase the ER BUNDLES to save money. Always look at the ER bundles before placing your order as it’s cheaper to buy a bundle than the individual items in the bundles.
The savings on the bundles are massive!!!

I was truly in awe reading all of your personal testimonials on PEPPERMINT OIL from last month in the closed Star Anise Essentials FB page – WOW! What an incredible oil!
This is what members of our community had to say about PEPPERMINT oil….
Did you know that Peppermint oil has been TGA approved as a Wellness Oil which means that we can officially make the following therapeutic claims about it:
Bottom line: make sure you ALWAYS have this oil on hand! With summer coming up, I am going to be enjoying my choc peppermint coconut water frappes! Simply blend 1 cup coconut water, ½ - 1 tablespoon raw cacao powder, and 1 drop of peppermint oil. So refreshing!

Dear community,
It was truly mind blowing reading all of your personal testimonials on LAVENDER OIL from last month in the closed Star Anise Essentials FB page – WOW! What an epic library of testimonials on the ‘Swiss army knife’ of essential oils. If there were any essential oil skeptics, I would most certainly be asking them to read this!
This is what members of our community had to say about lavender oil….
Did you know that Lavender oils has been TGA approved as a Wellness Oil which means that we can officially make the following therapeutic claims about it:

Hi lovelies,
I am only one person but together we are a force of nature. I have a massive favour to ask. To help spread this important low-tox message it would mean the world to me if you could connect just one person (e.g. a friend, relative, colleague, neighbour) to YL. (Of course, if you could connect more, then that would be AWESOME….but my only request is that everyone in our community reach out to ONE person.
It seems like such a small thing to do but the consequences of getting YL oils, personal care products or cleaning products into one home is honestly nothing short of profound. It could be the catalyst to steer the people who live in that home onto a less toxic, more nourishing path, reclaiming power from external providers. It would mean one more home in the world that is ditching the cancer-causing, hormone-disrupting, chemicals.
If this is your very first time connecting someone please let me know so that I can send you a little thank you gift!
“How do I connect someone?” I hear you ask!
To connect someone with YL products, enrol them as a new brand partner on the YL website and pop in YOUR member number when it asks you for your friend’s enroller and sponsor so that they fall with our YL community and can get access to all our resources. If in doubt, simply follow these simple steps in the Member Resources page (or call your wellness mentor, or myself on 0407 871 884 or YL on 02 8604 5600 if you get stuck):
What information can I give to my friend about YL?
You could start by sending them this page of my website. Or send them this 3 minute A WAKE UP STORY video or this 4 minute UNSTINK YOUR LIFE video.
Once you connect them, simply follow the steps set out above in the Member Resources page of my website (i.e. send them a welcome email so that they get access to our password protected Member Resources page, and make sure that they come to an onboarding orientation of our Member Resources and the YL website so that they are across everything).
What can they purchase?
Your friend could purchase any premium starter bundle (which is the best value as they are permanently discounted by 50-60% off) or they can curate their own bundle of products so long as it comes to 100PV or more for their first order to quality as a wholesale customer. Ask them to have a look at the essentials oils & low tox page of my website for all of the options.
What are the commissions?
YL has a super generous referral program - you receive a $97.50 thank-you commission for every person you connect who buys a premium starter bundle or $65 if they curate their own 100PV point bundle. This commission is paid to you by YL in the middle of the following month and appears as “Available Credits” in your dashboard which you can use towards your YL orders or have transferred into a bank account.
Does my friend need to join the loyalty program?
No, they don’t. Ideally, when connecting your friend you would encourage them to tick the box to join the free loyalty program so that they can accumulate massive loyalty points which they can redeem for free products of their choice. The loyalty program really encourages people to go low tox as they can streamline ALL their personal care products, cleaning products, oils, and supplements to just one place as a redirection of resources. The minimum monthly spend on the loyalty program is 50PV (and you can skip one month in any 12 month period). If in doubt they can always order a 2 pack of Ningxia Red a month – and if that is ALL they did for their health month after month, this alone is game-changing.
Can I connect my partner, child or relative?
Yes, you can provided that they are over 18.
Thank you for being a part of creating a ripple effect. It all starts with one friend telling another friend of a better way.
Love Soulla xx
Happy Spring lovely!
This 4-minute video is a MUST WATCH. 4 minutes could change your life. It could radically alter your choices and your health forever. I know it did mine.
The science is out. Once you know you can’t unknow. We can no longer afford to bury our heads in the sand.
The hormone disrupting, cancer-causing, microbiome-disrupting, and neurotoxic effects JUST. AINT. WORTH. IT!!!!!
Once I learnt that the conventional personal care products and cleaning products that lined my bathroom, kitchen, and laundry shelves contained toxic ingredients that were harmful to me, my family (and the planet), trust me I went through all of the stages from disbelief (“if it's allowed to be sold then SURELY it must be safe?!??! Surely the governments of the world wouldn’t allow toxic products to be sold?!?!”), to justification (“Well everyone else is using it, spraying it, slathering it on and they are ok…. Or are they?!?... And besides I’m only using a teeny bit)” to anger (“Oh they really are toxic….and we are all really getting sick….and a teeny bit applied EVERY SINGLE DAY ACROSS HUNDREDS OF INGREDIENTS all adds up to a LOT of toxicity….. WTF?!?”), to radical responsibility (“time to pivot and make better choices because no one else is going to do this for me!”)
Where I got to is this: Knowledge is EMPOWERING. That power brings CHOICE. And choice brings an opportunity to radically alter your health, your family’s health, and the planet’s health.
As I am fond of saying this is not about deprivation it is about healthy swaps. And there is a healthy swap for EVERYTHING nowadays. From every item of food, personal care products, and cleaning products. Healthy swapping is not a burden. It’s our responsibility especially if you are the gatekeeper of your home. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP YOU and YOUR FAMILY SAFE FROM TOXIC PRODUCTS. Don’t feel guilty. We all once used toxic products and it's never too late to pivot. That is what my team and I are here for – to help you healthy swap in a positive and empowering way.
As explained at the end of the 4 minute video there ARE companies out there who genuinely care and make toxic free products that you can trust (not just greenwashed nonsense that appear to be clean through clever marketing but are full of toxic crap).
So what brand do I use?
The brand I have been using since 2016 which I wholeheartedly trust, recommend, and have done a THOROUGH due diligence on is Young Living.
What I love about YL is that:
They are a one stop online shop (this alone is game-changing making it super easy and convenient to go low tox); and
Their products are completely toxic free, super powerful and, because they are so concentrated, they are extremely cost effective when diluted (hello Thieves all-purpose cleaner for $1.70!).
The way it works is that you need an existing account holder like myself to connect you to set up a wholesale account for you. After that, you can log onto the YL website and buy what you want, when you want… and have complete peace of mind that you are creating a toxic free home sanctuary with the ease, simplicity, and convenience of an online one-stop shop.
Click here to get started and select a low tox starter bundle or products of choice to start with.
The ADDED BONUS in joining my low tox community is that in addition to accessing the highest quality low tox products on the market, is that you ALSO receive free automatic access to a wealth of online resources, personalised support from me, and another wellness mentor in our community plus our continuous educational webinars and events.

Dear Community,
It is so great to see so many people sharing the products with others. Yay!!!
I’m getting asked a lot of questions from members as to how they go about connecting their family and friends with their own YL accounts.
You can most certainly do it using YOUR MEMBER NUMBER as your friend’s enroller and sponsor.
Log out of your YL account then click BECOME A BRAND PARTNER and just follow the prompts. Where it asks who is your enroller and sponsor just pop in YOUR member number so that they fall within our team and get access to all our epic resources and free support. This is important!!!
If they sign up this month with a premium starter kit or 100 points of products of choice they will receive a FREE DEWDROP DIFFUSER from YL with their first order valued at over $100! How generous!!! And YOU receive handsome commissions from YL ($97.50 if they buy a premium starter kit or $65 for customised orders). The premium starter kits are the best value as they are permanently discounted at 50%.
Please send your friend a welcome email (the template is in the member resources page in the section called "MY FRIEND WANTS YL PRODUCTS, WHAT'S NEXT?!".
Have a good read of that section as this is exactly what people are asking me! We are one step ahead! Haha! The password to the member resources page of my website is set out in your welcome email. If you can’t find it please email me asap.
For the purposes of the welcome email please personalise it and let your friends know that my next free Zoom onboarding orientation is Thursday 29 August 7.30 pm. It's super important that they attend to really get the most out of the products and the resources!
Try to join your friends on the monthly loyalty program so that they reap the benefits of HUGE loyalty points which can redeemed for free products and save money. We recommend a 2-pack of Ningxia red for month 2 as everyone benefits from drinking 60ml daily as the world's highest antioxidant food source.
Or if they also want to add the omegagize to that it's more economical to buy the EVERYDAY NUTRITION ESSENTIAL REWARDS BUNDLE which is 2 pack of Ningxia plus omegagize.
We can help with their monthly orders to show them the ropes and can support your members in swapping out their conventional personal care products and household cleaning products with YL versions one by one at their pace. It's super exciting for you to be doing this with your friends. I had a low-tox buddy when I started this journey 25 years ago (hello Connie Caputo) and it made the journey so much more enjoyable!
Each month simply swap out something you are running low on! Small changes, big impact!
If you get stuck in connecting someone just call your wellness mentor or me on 0407 871 884 and we would be all too happy to guide you.
Keep up the great work team in sharing the products with others and spreading this low-tox message. Make an impact, make an income!
Love Soulla x
Ever recommended a book, a movie, or a restaurant? Yes, we do it ALL. THE. TIME.
Wouldn't it be great if you got paid for it?
Young Living’s social sharing model REWARDS those who SHARE Young Living’s products with others!
You earn A$97.50 for EVERY person that you connect with a premium starter kit or A$65 if they buy a customised 100PV order.
You can also earn commissions when your friends and their friends continue buying from YL (this is called residual income… and money flows into your bank account forever whenever anyone in your downline buys YL products).
This means if you connect 3 friends in one month your starter kit is paid off.
This also means if you connect one friend a month your 50PV monthly order is paid off.
Voila! You get your orders for free!
Encourage your friends to connect their friends and watch your team explode and your commissions soar.
This is how we do.
Make an impact, make an income.
Whether you are 18 or 80, male or female, an entrepreneur or a mum passionate about low tox living…
Everyone can and is doing this.
But…
This is not about selling or cold calling or hassling family and friends.
It’s about EDUCATING from a place of authenticity.
It’s about SHARING KNOWLEDGE about the toxins found in conventional personal care products and cleaning products and inspiring and empowering others to ditch and switch…. with one healthy swap at a time.
There are so many ways to share this knowledge that feels authentic to you:
Email them this Clean Living card if they are interested in creating a low-tox home with YL personal care products and cleaning products.
Email them this Vibrant Health card if they are interested in using YL oils as their medicine cabinet.
Send them the link to the essential oils and low-tox living page of my website that explains everything about joining our low-tox community and the most popular starter kits.
Send them this 18-minute video that explains how a Young Living wholesale account works, the various starter bundles, and the free monthly loyalty program.
Send them this 50-minute video if they want more information on low-tox living and oils as medicine.
Host a workshop at your place with your friends which I can run for you and RECEIVE A FREE BOTTLE OF NINGXIA AS A HOST GIFT. All you need to supply is a small space and some friends and we will take care of the rest.
Send your friends along (or come with them) to one of my upcoming live workshops that I run monthly.
If they buy a starter kit, you get the enrolment commission as YOU introduced them.
This information is all set out on the Member Resources page of my website along with all the steps on how to enrol them on the YL website if your friend says“hell to the yeah, let’s do it! I want these products!”.
Whether you share with 1 person or 50 people or 500 people, we have all of the tools and resources to support you…and who knows where this journey will take you? It could mean that you get your YL products paid for. It could literally take you around the globe on all expenses paid for trips with YL. It could mean retiring yourself and your husband with our proven formula.
Best of all it will mean creating a more meaningful life and helping people lead a less toxic, healthier, life.
If you connect a friend in the month of August 2024, they will receive a FREE DIFFUSER from YL with their first order (valued at over $100).
What a great month for them to start or deepen their low-tox journey!
Love Soulla xx
Dear community,
In a recent Zoom meeting, Esther - one of my dear friends and YL biz leaders – nailed it when she relayed from the heart why she shares (not sells!) the YL products with others. Esther replays that when you fall in love with products, people, and the company you can't help but share your love and passion with others and genuinely want others to benefit also. "If you create the service and share the love, the money will come"... I love this expression so much. Lead with heart and allow the universe to take care of the rest.
Watch here
Esther succinctly summarised in 2 minutes what YL is all about and why she started sharing the products with others when she originally vowed that she would NEVER share the products. This is an all too familiar story. Most of the top earners in YL (myself included) once swore black and blue that we wanted “nothing to do with the business side of things”. However, a universal law is that when you benefit from something so much you can’t help but share that magic with others.
If you are fence-sitting about sharing YL products, or if things are tight financially and you want to have your products paid for or want a side income that provides more wiggle room, please reach out to me for an honest chat on how the YL biz would look like for you. There are so many different ways to share the products in a way that feels authentic and genuine for you. This is about making an impact while making an income that blesses you and your family. As Mary Young is fond of saying “Money in the hands of good people can do good things”.
Just as the YL products are for everyone, this biz opportunity is for everyone too no matter your age, your gender, whether you have an existing biz or not, or what stage of your life you are at. You just need a passion for helping people kick the harsh chemicals and be able to give them simple healthy swap options that profoundly benefit their lives.

I highly recommend you listen to this 42 minute lecture called The Missing Link by Gary Young, the founder of Young Living. Listening to this lecture was instrumental in crystalising my decision to start using YL essential oils as my medicine cabinet and to enhance my health and wellness day to day.
No matter how many times I listen to it, I always learn something new.
For future reference, you can find this recording in the Essential Oils 101 guide found on the password-protected Member Resources page of my website (P.S. If you don’t know the password to this page please email your wellness mentor/support person or email me to send it to you).

I call YL’s monthly loyalty program - Essential Rewards our superpower because it’s a way to get a LOT of your YL products for free. It is hands down the most generous loyalty program on the planet because the loyalty points are HUGE (10-25% of the value of your order – that is a HUGE amount you get back in loyalty points).
When I talk about the monthly loyalty program, some people ask me “But what do I order every month?” to which I reply “Anything you want! From Ningxia Red, to personal care products, to cleaning products, to supplements, to essential oils, to toiletry bags to diffusers.”
Some people like to go low tox one room at a time (eg medicine cabinet, then kitchen, then bathroom, then laundry, etc). Others simply order YL products as and when they are about to run out of their existing personal care products and cleaning products (which is how I did it and it took me a few years of consistent monthly ordering to have my whole house switched over to YL products which was game changing to *FINALLY* enjoy the ease, convenience, and simplicity of a one-stop shop).
Whichever way you do it, it is as simply brand swapping and redirecting your resources to an ethical, toxic-free brand.
Below is just a suggestion of what you might like to adopt *if* you are looking for an ordering schedule:
Premium Starter Bundle (12 oils + diffuser)
Ningxia Red 2 pack or 4 pack (best to buy a 2 pack every month as it is exactly enough for one adult to have 50ml every day for 30 days).
Thieves household concentrate 1.8L
OR purchase the Healthy Homes Essential Rewards Bundle containing:
3 x 15 ml essential oils: (Orange, Purification®, Thieves®) 1 x Thieves® Dish Soap 355ml, 1 x Thieves® Household Cleaner 426 ml 1 x Thieves® Laundry Soap 946 ml 1 x Thieves® Spray 29.5 ml, 1 x Thieves® Waterless Hand Purifier 29.5 ml, 1 x Thieves® Wipes 30
OR purchase the Natures Home Essentials Bundle containing: 1 x Thieves® 5 ml
1 x Lemon 5ml
1 x Citrus Fresh 15ml
1 x Thieves® Dish Soap 355 ml
1 x Thieves® Laundry Soap 946ml
1 x Thieves® Household Cleaner 426 ml
1 x Thieves® Foaming Hand Soap 236 ml
1 x Thieves® Whitening Toothpaste 113.4g
1 x Thieves® Glass Measure Spray Bottle 480ml
1 x Thieves® Recipe Fridge Magnet 1 x Nature’s Home Essentials Bundle Booklet
Laundry Soap, Dish Soap, Fruit & Veg soak (if not purchased above)
Personal care products
(shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, body wash, hand soap, mouthwash, dental floss etc)
Spread out over a few months
Oils that you have run out of in the Premium Starter Bundle
Purchase 15ml bottles for better value
Oils that lend themselves to be worn as perfumes (eg Stress Away, Frankincense, Lavender, Joy, Present Time, Jasmin, Envision, Ylang Ylang, Angelica, Neroli, White Angelica)
or Aftershaves (eg Shutran, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Frankincense, Valor, Mister)
Oils as herbal teas and used in raw treats/desserts:
Eg Digize, Spearmint, Lime, Orange, Lemon, Citrus Fresh, Peppermint, Cardamom, Cinnamon Bark
Staple supplements eg Inner Defence (antibiotics), Life 9 (probiotics)
The list above is only meant to be a source of inspiration and not to be followed slavishly.
Refer to the Young Living Product Guide or the YL website (hover over the word “products” at the top) for more ideas e.g., ER Bundles, diffusers for another room, toiletries bag, Thieves wipes, Seedlings range (for babies) and KidScent range (for kids) etc.
Dear YL community,
If you are on the YL’s monthly loyalty program (or thinking of joining!) please read these important tips below to maximise your loyalty program superpowers:
1. Know when your monthly order processing date is: under the Essential Rewards program, you must place your monthly orders on or before your monthly order processing date (which is set out in your welcome email and your Virtual Office on the Monthly ER order tab on the left-hand side).
As everyone’s date will be different, I recommend placing a recurring calendar entry into your mobile phone a couple of days before your monthly order processing date and keeping a running list of products you want to purchase as you progress through the month.
If you do not place a new order each month on or before your monthly order processing date, you will receive your previous month's order and will be charged for that! If you don’t want a repeat of your last month’s order then you MUST update your card on or before your monthly order processing date. If you DO want a repeat of your last month's order then you don’t need to do anything for that month.
Note that we will put a different order in for you for month 2 so that your month 1 and 2 orders are different but you will need to update your cart in month 3 if you want a different order to month 2.
You can update your cart at any time BEFORE or ON your monthly order processing date but it won’t be processed until your monthly order processing date and hence it won’t be shipped to you until a couple of days AFTER that date.
Watch this short video to learn how to update your cart and place your monthly order.
2. Know that you have the flexibility to move your monthly order processing date to an earlier or later date in the month by changing the date BEFORE your order processes (watch this 1-minute video). Also, know that you can leave your date as is and manually process your order on any date of the month BEFORE your monthly order processing date (watch this 1-minute video).
Hot Tip: I changed my monthly order processing date to the very end of the month and then I manually process my order on any date of the month when I am ready to have my order shipped me to. This gives me the maximum flexibility as to when I can place my order month to month.
3. You accumulate massive reward points on each monthly order that are equal to 10% of the PV of your order for the first 3 months of ordering, 20% of the PV of your order in months 4 to 24, and then 25% of the PV of your orders after 2 years of monthly ordering. Eg if your order is 100PV in month 25 then you will accrue 25PV in that month alone.
4. Try to spread your orders out so that you are ordering at least 50PV per month (the minimum monthly spend on the monthly ER program). If you order 100PV or more per month consistently you will be gifted free gifts from YL at the 3, 6, 9, 12 month anniversary of your first order and every 12 months thereafter. However, there is no obligation to spend 100PV per month. You only need to spend 50PV per month under the monthly loyalty program.
5. If your order is just under 50PV by a few points, consider purchasing the lip balm or an orange, lemon, or lemongrass essential oil to get you across the line.
6. While the minimum monthly spend on the loyalty program is 50PV per month, YL offer monthly promotional free gifts that apply if CHOOSE to you spend a minimum of 145PV, 190PV, 250PV, or 320PV in any given month. These promotions entitle you to free gifts (promotions) for that month. YL changes the free gifts month to month. Watch out for these on the Young Living dashboard or in the Brand Partner News section of the Young Living website. If your order comes to slightly below these amounts, it is worthwhile increasing your order and adding in a lip balm or an orange, lemon or lemongrass oil etc to reach these tiers to avail yourself of free gifts (at the highest tier the free gifts are worth approx. $300 which is a HUGE amount of free products that you can use or gift!!!).
7. You can skip one month a year under the monthly program (eg if you are away on holiday).
To skip a month in your Virtual Office: My Monthly Order > Change Processing Date, then select a date the following month. Remember to ‘Save Changes’. You can also skip a month by contacting YL Member Services via live chat, email custserv@youngliving.com.au, or phone at 1300 28 9536.
You can also cancel your essential rewards monthly ordering (My Monthly Order > Change Processing Date, Cancel ER subscription) but make sure that you use up all of your accumulated points first so that they don’t go to waste!!! You can then order ad hoc from YL at wholesale prices but you will not accumulate any reward points on your purchases. If you decide to jump back on the monthly essential reward program you will start accruing reward points back at 10% of the value of your order for the first 3 months of orders and then go up to 20% in month 4 and 25% after 2 years of monthly ordering.
8. Use up your rewards points every 12 months as the points expire after 12 months of accumulating them! You can start to redeem your Rewards Points in month 4 of ordering. You can redeem your reward points monthly or less frequently (eg once or twice a year) but make sure you use them up within 12 months.
9. To redeem your reward points you must place a separate order to your monthly essential rewards order. i.e., you can’t use Reward Points to pay for your monthly essential rewards order. You must redeem your points as a separate order in any given month (at a time in the month) and if you have enough points you will ONLY be charged for the shipping (or you can use your commissions aka “available credits” to cover the shipping costs as per this video).
10. Note that for certain products (eg rose oil) the PV assigned to the product when purchasing the product under the monthly loyalty program may be different to the PV you need to accumulate when redeeming a product. For example: if you purchase rose oil as part of your monthly ER order it is 99.45PV (so you accumulate 10%, 20%, or 25% of 99.45PV depending on how long you have been ordering). However, if you were to use your accumulated points to redeem rose oil to get it for free you will need to accumulate 424.35PV. You can find the PV assigned to a product versus the ER redemption in the YL price list.
Learn more about the monthly loyalty program here.
If you are a wholesale customer not on the Essential Rewards program and find yourself ordering 50/100PV per month OR find yourself placing substantial/bulky orders every few months, I encourage you to consider joining the free Essential Rewards program (watch this video to learn how) and spreading your orders out every month to 50PV to accumulate massive credit points that you can redeem for free products of your choice.

Dear YL community,
I am often asked “Soulla, I [or my kid/friend/loved one, etc] has [insertcondition]. Please help. What YL oils or products do I use to treat it naturally?”
Yes, western medicine is great for diagnostics!! But once you know what you're dealing with, the YL oils and supplements are our go-to holistic system of medicine in our own home...reclaiming power from external providers!!
“But which oils and supplements do I reach for?” I hear you ask.
Here is WHERE you can find all the info at your fingertips at any hour of the day or night.
1. The ailment section of the EO101 guide in the password-protected Member Resources page of my website. The ailment section isn’t intended to be comprehensive – it simply lists the most common ailments and conditions. We even have an ailment section in there for babies, kids, and teens. Search “Ailment” or see the hyperlinked index page once in the EO101 guide. (If you don’t know the password to the Member Resources page please contact your wellness mentor or email me ASAP because you’re missing out on some seriously phenomenal FREE resources).
If the answer isn’t there, then head to ….
2. The Reference Guide by Life Science Publishing found in the “Additional Educational Resources” section of the password-protected Member Resources page of my website.We call this “the bible of essential oils” as is intended to be comprehensive. It pretty much lists EVERY SINGLE ailment or condition and a protocol of YL oils and YL supplements on how to treat it and support the body.
THIS IS GOLD! If I had such a resource as a young mama bear it would have been a COMPLETE GAME CHANGER for me as I would have felt truly EMPOWERED as my family’s healer. If you are blessed to have the HARD COPY spiral bound DESK reference guide of this publication, please treasure it as it is no longer being published in hard cover and it is worth hundreds of dollars.
If you don’t have the hard copy, you can search the PDF version of the 6th edition of it in the “Additional Educational Resources” section of the password protected Member Resources page of my website.
(Yes we managed to stumble across a PDF version of the entire desk reference guide – don’t ask me how but we have it!!!). For example, search “cancer” and everywhere that word appears it will come up in your search.
Alternatively, you can purchase the Amazon Kindle 8th edition POCKET reference guide of the same resource for $30.60 so that you can have it on your mobile phone or kindle when you are out and about.
You can find the Reference Guide by Life Science Publishing (either the PDF of the 8th edition of the desk reference guide or the Amazon Kindle 8th edition POCKET reference guide) in the “Additional Educational Resources” section of the password protected Member Resources page of my website.
If the answer STILL isn’t there, then head to ….
3. The closed Star Anise Essentials FB page. Use the search button to look up your condition!! If the answer still isn’t there then ask away by posting a question in the chat. Our community of holistic peeps will be eager to answer and help you.
These top 3 resources will empower you to become your family's healer in your home!
If the condition does not pass within a few days or if it is severe or if your intuition is telling you to seek professional help, please do seek professional help ASAP from your holistic practitioner. My top holistic practitioners of choice (who are also well versed in the YL oils and products) are:
Maria Arora (Trained Doctor, Naturopath, and Homeopath).
Emily Rose Yates - Naturopath
Amy Makejev - Naturopath
These 3 incredible beings are all listed in the Biz Directory section of the password protected Member Resources page of my website. Otherwise, there is Dr Kate Norris on Bondi Road, Dr Jenny Bromberger, or any of the doctors at Genbiome Clinic in Edgecliff.

Winter is officially here in the southern hemisphere.
Colds and flu abound as is a nasty strain of pneumonia. I succumbed and it wasn’t fun. It’s now time to dust off the Winter Wellness section of the EO101 Guide (found in the password-protected Member Resources page of my website).
If you don’t know the password please email me or your support person ASAP as you are missing out on one of the reasons why people join the Star Anise Essentials YL community.
Here are some juicy parts from that section:
Plants contain protective compounds that protect against illness and disease.
Mankind has used plant botanicals as medicine for millennia before the advent of pharmaceuticals (plants are nature’s pharmacy).
Essential oils are potentised/concentrated plant compounds.
YL essential oils are incredibly detoxifying. To various degrees, they all have antimicrobial(e.g.,anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral) properties. This means they kill bad bugs (pathogens and viruses) within our bodies. Viruses, bacteria and pathogens cannot live in an oxygen-rich environment. Pure essential oils are highly oxygenating. In fact, pure essential oils are scientifically documented to carry the highest level of oxygenating molecules of any substance known to man! YL essential oils are also, to various degrees, anti-inflammatory. Given that inflammation is the root cause of all modern illnesses and diseases, YL essential oils are a potent antidote to the inflammation in our system which is caused from toxic overload and/or sub-optimal nourishment.
While essential oils are not technically nutrient-dense, they facilitate the nourishment of the body because they clean the receptor sites of our cells so that our cells can readily uptake nutrients (vitamins and minerals) from foods, supplements and the sun. E.g. lemon oil cleans the vitamin D receptor site, allowing the body to absorb vitamin D from sunshine.
Pure essential oils vs pharmaceuticals: no side effects > work with, not against the body to build and strengthen it > thwart unfriendly bacteria without affecting friendly bacteria.
Pure essential oils vs herbal tinctures: more potent/concentrated > faster acting so treatment time is faster > not diluted in alcohol > no expiry dates > more pure > more convenient to self-dispense at home > easier to apply on kids than to swallow tincture. Listen to this 1 hour presentation by trained doctor, naturopath and homeopath Maria Arora to learn about this topic.
Pure essential oils vs other oil brands: > seed to seal policy means YL oils are more potent/concentrated > more pure > more testing > harvested at peak harvest time > therapeutic traction > not fractionated.
Health (measured in MHz) is influenced by increasing nourishment and decreasing toxicity. Healthy body = 62-68 MHz. If the vibrational frequency drops to 58 MHz = cold, at 57 MHz = flu, at 45 MHz = cancer. Young Living EOs raise vibrational frequency, and hence overall health.

Some essential oils are more antibacterial (e.g., myrrh, lemon). At the same time, some are more antiviral (e.g., Eucalyptus Blue, Melissa). At the same time, some are more anti-inflammatory (e.g. frankincense, copaiba, myrrh). In contrast, others are more anti-fungal (e.g. Tea tree, Thieves, peppermint), and others are more analgesic (pain killer) (e.g. myrrh, Pan Away).
