I’ve been dabbling in essential oils for some time now, using them in my DIY recipes, cleaning products, and home remedies, but until recently, never really understood {or appreciated} just how therapeutic and complementary to natural living and holistic health they really could be. Call me a skeptic, but I just kept wondering:
“What is all the fuss about?!”
Now I know and I’m left wondering:
“Why did it take me so long to figure this out?!”
Better late than never, right? Sigh…
As your friend, fellow crunchy mama, and overall healthy living junkie, it’s my civic duty to share with you products and services that I find amazing, life-changing, and {OF COURSE} that I personally use in my home and with the loves of my life. Authenticity is important, so I would never EVER promote any brand or product that I didn’t believe it 100%. In my exhaustive search to find the highest quality essential oils, one company kept rising to the top. It was hard to ignore. It’s Young Living.
Why do I recommend Young Living?
As a crazy passionate real foodie, I go to great lengths to ensure the food we buy from our local farms is humanely-raised and my farmer friends follow sustainable practices. From the produce we buy and grow ourselves, to the raw milk we drink, to the grass-fed beef and pasture-raised poultry we buy in bulk, to the eggs we eat everyday, I want to ensure our food is free from nasties like pesticides, GMOs, soy, hormones, and antibiotics, and the animals are treated the way Mother Nature intended. This has been an incredible lesson for me – to know where things come from and how they are raised.
The same goes for essential oils. Young Living sets the standard for purity and authenticity. They carefully monitor every step of the production of the oils from beginning to end through a unique seed to seal process, ensuring the purity of each essential oil and protecting nature’s living energy in every bottle. This unsurpassed commitment to quality means that you can be confident that Young Living essential oils are both safe and effective. I trust their essential oils above all others because they are pure and unadulterated and are manufactured for therapeutic use not just for smell. Click here to order and learn much more!
Alright, I’m sold. How do I get my hands on these oils?
You can get the essential oils I recommend in one of two ways: Wholesale {signing up as a “distributor”} or Retail {signing up as a “customer”} via the Young Living website here.
What’s the difference?
Wholesale Membership
Truth time: I’m not trying to recruit you into some crazy essential oils cult. I’m not looking for “business builders” and I’m not going to start sending you pressure-filled emails about building downlines, uplines, sidelines, and everything in between. Who needs that nonsense? Not me or you.
Wholesale simply means you get the products at a 24% discount. Period. End of story. No obligations, no requirements to sell, no requirements to do a single other thing. This is explained in better detail below.
What you WILL get, is a ton of support on how to use these oils effectively in your home and for your health. I got that same support when I first started using these oils, and it’s been amazing.
Having said that, if you like the idea of earning a little side income {who doesn’t?}, that’s another conversation. Email me separately at kristen@mixwellness.com and we’ll talk.
Why buying retail isn’t smart
You might also see these oils for sale on Amazon or eBay but there is no way of knowing if those oils are authentic and unadulterated. When you sign up with me, you will get personal support. All you will get when you buy retail is the oil itself {and no guarantee it is unadulterated}. You also will not get any support on how to use the oils. When you sign up via the Young Living site as a retail customer, you pay 24% more than wholesalers for your essential oils. But if that sounds cleaner and easier, click here, and select “Retail Customer”. I won’t judge you.
But what does becoming a wholesale member entail? It sounds complicated!
The absolute best way to buy oils is by joining “the discount club” as a wholesale member to get amazing discounts {24% off} on every product that is offered. Think of it as similar to joining a buying club like Costco or Sam’s.
As a wholesale member of this “club” you only have to agree to order a minimum of $50 per YEAR. That’s it! One bottle of Thieves Oil costs $44 retail. That same bottle is only $33 through the wholesale club! If you bought only that and one other item in a year you would hit your minimum. Dunzo.
But wait, there’s more!
When you sign up with Young Living you get WAY more than just oils. You get support from a team of enthusiastic individuals like me {and my oily friends} who are eager to help. I want you to use these oils and reap the benefits. I’m here to answer your questions, offer suggestions, and do whatever I can to make your experience with essential oils an amazing one. I am part of an incredible community and team that offers support and guidance to ensure you know how to use your oils. It’s a priceless gift for those interested in healthy living. I’d love for you to join us!

Why Should I become and wholesale member?
Becoming a wholesale member can get you wholesale pricing which is 24% off retail price! You also gain the option of sharing the oils with your friends and family in order to earn commissions and participate in promotions for free oils.
Is there a monthly order minimum?
NO. You do NOT have to order monthly in order to benefit from being a wholesale member. However, there is an optional autoship program that you can participate in if you would like to earn more points on your orders and potentially more FREE product.
I don’t really want to sell oils. Do I have to sell Young Living products to be a wholesale member?
Of course not. Since there is no monthly order requirement you can simply just order whenever you and your family need it. There is no requirement to have a business. But, becoming a wholesale member is still most beneficial for your family and your wallet, business or not.
What do I need to do to get started?
To begin as a wholesale member you start with purchasing an enrollment kit. There are many kits to choose from. For anyone in the US or Canada that orders one of the Premium Starter Kits, I will personally send you a BONUS Essential Oils Pocket Reference Guide for FREE!
Simply follow the below steps to join Young Living Oils and enjoy these amazing benefits.
The Premium Starter Kit is {hands down} the best value enrollment kit.
When you order your own premium starter kit, you are entitled to wholesale pricing on all Young Living products, this is a 24% discount. Share this with your friends and family by ordering for them, or have them enroll to get their own kit and discount.
The “Premium Starter Kit” is an amazing value! It comes with:
-
11 5ml bottles of essential oils including Lavender, Peppermint, Lemon, Frankincense, PanAway {a nice massage oil that relaxes the muscles!}, Melaleuca alternofolia, Thieves, Purification, Stress Away, Joy, and Citrus Fresh oil blends.
-
A home diffuser {retail value alone on this one is $96} OR {and this is NEW} you can choose a premium kit with two boxes of Ningxia Nitro {a fabulous coffee replacement}
-
Essential oils user’s guide
-
AromaGlide Roller Fitment {to turn any oil into a roll on}
-
Two sample packets each of Lavender, Peppermint, Peace & Calming, Lemon, and Thieves {for you to share with your friends!}
-
Two NingXia Red 2-oz. samples {this is a great supplement for energy}
BONUS!
If you order the premium starter enrollment kit in the SAME month** you enroll, I will also send you the Essential Oils Pocket Reference Guide {valued at $30!} for FREE {U.S. addresses only}. If you’re outside of the U.S., I’ll PayPal you a rebate. Cool?
DOUBLE BONUS!
If you sign up for Essential Rewards, I’ll also send you one of these beautiful diffuser necklaces {U.S. addresses only}! So pretty, right?
What is Essential Rewards, you ask?
In a nutshell, this is Young Living’s amazing “cash back” program that earns you F*R*E*E oils for every purchase you make. It’s literally like getting paid to shop. I dig that.
TRIPLE BONUS!
In June, if your order exceeds 190 PV, Young Living will send you a FREE 5ml bottle of Geranium! If you’re on Essential Rewards, they’ll toss in a 5 ml bottle of Jade Lemon too! Order 250 PV and get all that PLUS 20 Essential Rewards points {for MORE free stuff!}. Order 300 PV, and they’ll sweeten the pot even more with a bottle of Life 5, Young Living’s incredible probiotic – the PERFECT antidote for summer barbecues!
Does it get any better!? I think not.

Signing up as A Wholesale Member – A step-by-step Guide
1. Click over to the sign-up page.
2. Select “Sign up as: Young Living Wholesale Member”
3. The “Enroller ID” and “Sponsor ID” boxes should already be filled in for you. But if not, enter 1916533 in both boxes.
4. Fill out your name, billing address, shipping address, and contact info. (The reason you are asked to list your social security number is for tax purposes. If you make over $600/year selling Young Living products, you will receive a 1099 form in the mail, as is required by law. Young Living will never share this info with anyone.)
5. Create your password and pin which you will use to log in to your account and order your oils.
6. Select your enrollment starter kit. This is where you can specify which starter kit you would like {and you know I think the Premium Kit is the way to go!} – they range in price from $40 on up and you only need to spend $40 to get the 24% discount. Note: you must sign up with one of these kits to become a wholesale member. This is mandatory. To maintain your 24% discount going forward, you only need to spend $50 worth each subsequent year with Young Living on any product in their store. That’s it! You can also purchase other items at this time if you wish.
7. Set up your *optional* Essential Rewards Program {ER}.
Now don’t be confused by this next step. Buying one of the ER kits is not a requirement to sign up as a wholesale member! This is a rewards program you can opt into to start earning money back to help pay for your oils. At this point, you can skip this step by selecting: “No, thank you. I plan on enrolling in the Essential Rewards Program later”. If one of the ER kits looks valuable to you then by all means get one in addition to your starter kit, but please understand that you cannot buy an ER kit in lieu of a starter kit. This program is the most economical way to purchase your oils and other products. I belong and am already on my way to getting some free oils with it.
At this point, you can do one of two things:
Option 1: Sign up for ER right away by choosing one of the pre-selected “kits”. Contrary to how it looks, you are not locked into buying the same kit every month – that’s just the first month. You can {and should} go in every month and select the products YOU want to receive. If you sign up for ER when you initially sign up, you’ll also receive “credit” for your starter kit {10% toward future purchases} IF you place it in the same order.
Option 2: Opt to NOT sign up for ER right away, and once you’re signed up and have a log in to the Virtual Office, go in and sign up. Then, you will also need to select a ship date. {This is the day each month when you order will go out. I recommend writing this down on your calendar so you don’t accidentally order the same thing twice.}. You only need spend $50 a month to remain in the program – the longer you remain in the program the more points you will receive to help pay for your oils}.
From there, you can choose your monthly autoship date, and then pick and choose the products you want each month. If you choose this option, you will NOT receive “credit” for your starter kit {10% toward future purchases}.
For me personally, I found this to be incredibly confusing when I signed up. I went with Option 2, didn’t get the pre-made ER kit, and then once I was all signed up, I enrolled in ER, and that allowed me to pick and choose the oils I wanted to get going forward. There’s ALWAYS a workaround, my friends!
7. Agree to Terms & Conditions
8. CONFIRM YOUR ORDER. I have had many folks miss this step and end up not fully checking out. To confirm, the tool will log you in and it will show you your order again and it will make you enter in your payment information again. We wouldn’t want that to happen because then you would not get your oils!
That’s it – congratulations! You will receive a confirmation email– you can log into your back office right away to manage orders, check your team, and send messages. I will also add you to my Young Living newsletter.
