Valentine’s Day Essential Oils Special

Valentine’s Day Essential Oils Special

Pin to Pinterest

Have you been looking into essential oils but don’t know where to start or which brand to try? I am part of the amazing family of Young Living Essential Oils (read and order here). Essential oils are a fabulous natural substitute for many household chemical laden cleaners, medicines, and even beauty products. Having looked into several companies I was convinced that Young Living was the way to go and use them on myself and both of my girls daily.

I have a special deal just for Frugal Coupon Living readers this month through February 28th!   If you get a premium Young Living starter kit (read and order here) which is, on its own, a really great deal at $150!…

…then I will also mail you a super helpful Essential Oils Reference Book (you can look up almost anything in it and see which oils have been used to help with that problem), a set of essential oil labels to keep your oils organized, AND a $10 Amazon Gift Card!

You will receive 10 bottles, one 5ml each of these everyday oils; Peppermint, Lavender, Lemon, Frankincense, Melaleuca A, Stress Away, Thieves, PanAway, Purification, and Joy. Also get Product Guides about your essential oils, Samples and our NEWEST Dewdrop Diffuser. This month comes with a Citrus Fress Oil too!

This is just a quick list of the many ways that Young Living Essential Oils (read and order here) can be used on a daily basis, and there are many more ways to use these oils to naturally treat you and your families ailments.

Wanting to give it a try, sign up for the PREMIUM Starter Kit and FREEBIES for $150 ($300.00 Value) In addition you get ALL of this for FREE!

:: FREE Essential Oils Reference Book (Look up almost anything to find out which oils to use!)
:: FREE Oil Labels to keep everything organized
:: FREE $10 Amazon Gift Card!!!

This is a huge savings over buying them individually, not to mention its a better value than some of the other oil distributors out there – especially wiht all those FREEIBES!

Here’s how to sign up:

1. Head over to the Young Living page here and fill out your information.

2. Be sure the “Wholesale Member” option is checked so that you don’t end up paying retail prices.

3. Be sure the “sponsor ID” and “enroller id” say 1819360 (so that I can send you your FREEBIES)

4. If you do not feel comfortable putting in your social security number (this is only for tax purposes if you decide to turn this into a business) then you can get an EIN from the IRS in just a few seconds here and use that number instead (the IRS just needs to be able to connect some number with you for tax purposes). They need a Social Security Number or an EIN because if you make $600 or more per year selling Young Living products, you will receive a 1099 form in the mail (which is required by law). Young Living will never share this info with anyone.

5. Select which starter kit you want to get. To get the FREEBIES, you’ll need to check the option that says “Premium Starter Kit”. You can get the kit that’s $150 or you can get the kit that’s $160 with the Bamboo Diffuser (in my opinion, the Bamboo Diffuser looks nicer, but doesn’t put out as much as the diffuser that comes with the $150 kit).

6. There’s a Step 3 of the sign-up process that you can skip if you don’t want to mess with that part, OR you can get a couple of extra free oils if you know already that you would like to order monthly (see BONUS step below!)

7. Go through the checkout process.

8. After you sign up, send an email to frugalcouponliving@gmail.com letting me know that you signed up through this promotion. Somewhere in the email, be sure to put the promotion code “VALENTINEOILDEAL”.
