Young Living is more than just products—it’s a lifestyle! Nobody knows that better than our members, who shared their thoughts with us about how the Young Living lifestyle has helped them take care of themselves and their loved ones.

Here’s what our independent distributors had to say!

• “Young Living has changed my perspective, given me hope, and empowered me to take charge of my health. Before I found Young Living, I knew that my lifestyle was unhealthy, but I didn’t care because I was very pessimistic about my future health. As I began researching, I realized that my perspective was all wrong. My future wellness is within my control; there is no need to play the victim. God provided us with everything that we need on this earth to not only to survive, but to thrive. With the help of Young Living, my family and I now reap the natural bounty that God has given to us!”—Heather Hicks, WA

• “I feel empowered as a mom to take better care of my family, and I love knowing I am giving them the best!”—Ashley Hall, NC

• “With Young Living, I feel free! I am free to research the products and the supplements and free to try and experiment until I figure out what works the best for us. I feel empowered with the wellness products and naturally derived products. I don’t have to settle for what I am given or what has traditionally been available. I have a whole world of possibilities at my fingertips because of YL, and I love that from oldest to youngest, I can take care of my people with my Young Living products!” —Laura Thompson, CO

• “We have only been pursuing the business for eight months, but are already almost Silver! We’ve been able to see people’s lives changed, and the personal development is the best! We’ve seen ourselves grow, we’ve overcome challenges, faced fears, and become people we never dreamed we’d be!”—Angie Hepp, OK

• “My YL business has given me so much confidence. I am a leader now, and it is such a rewarding business. I absolutely love coaching my team and discussing oils on a daily basis. It is so amazing when you can talk to someone about wellness and you are so passionate about it. I never in a million years thought I could find a passion within a career. Although this isn’t my full-time job, it is in my two-year plan to make it be. This business has shown me you can love what you do and be incredibly passionate about a company and its products.” —Amanda Aintrazi, NY

• “My why is bigger than me and my family. Helping others with the oils and seeing the oils change others’ lives drives me. The Young Living business opportunity has blessed us not only financially, but with new friendships, experiences, and more. It has greatly enriched our life, and we are forever thankful.” —Sarah Moore, HI

• “Young Living has put us back in the driver’s seat for our own wellness and abundance! The business has given us the opportunity to give back, and we love that!”—Lisa Pfeifer, TX

• “We are so much closer to achieving so many of our family goals because of the financial benefits of Young Living and what I’m learning through personal development and leadership training. Our family is paying down debt quickly, giving to causes we care about, and getting ready to buy our first home. My Young Living business has played a significant part in all of those things.”—Emily Burton, MI

Moms give every day to their families, so give the mothers in your life a day that’s just their own with these seven gift ideas! From the simple to the indulgent, there’s something for any situation and any mom. You’ll both love the chance to make her feel special.

1. Water Bottle with Lemon Vitality

   What mom wouldn’t love a water bottle to stash in her car or purse for her busy day? This glass water bottle is sturdy enough for Mom’s day-to-day but maintains a delicate, chic look thanks to its metal twist cap and etched design. Plus, she’ll get a free bottle of Lemon Vitality™ to instantly brighten any drink!

2. Bath Shower Gels
   

   Any mom welcomes a quiet moment to refresh—even if her only chance to get away is in the shower. Our Bath Shower Gel makes shower time extra special with refreshing aromas such as Lavender and Morning Start^™, or she can create a custom scent with the Bath Shower Gel Base. For extra silky skin, use a gentle exfoliating glove. You’ll get one for free with our bath gels now through June 20!

3. DIY Foot Soak

   Kids keep you on your toes, so it makes sense that motherhood comes with tired feet. A simple Silky Foot Soak is perfect for moms on their feet, and it’s a DIY that feels anything but homemade. With rolled oats and Epsom salt, this mixture combined with warm water creates a velvety soak that softens and pampers skin. Plus, the added scent of her favorite essential oil will refresh her mood as well.

4. Breakfast in Bed

   Give her a break with a Mother’s Day breakfast in bed. Gary’s True Grit™ Einkorn Pancake and Waffle Mix makes it easy to whip up a bed and breakfast experience right at home. Use the mix to create hearty, delicious pancakes, waffles, or crepes and add fresh fruit, yogurt, tea, or juice for a complete treat.

5. Lip Balm and DIY Lip Scrub

   For lips that kiss scrapes and kiss goodnight, Mom needs a balm that keeps her lips soft and comfortable. Give her a petroleum-free lip balm in one of our three fresh flavors—Grapefruit, Lavender, and Cinnamint™—or treat her to all three! A homemade lip scrub offers extra pampering, and it’s easy to make. Simply combine 2 teaspoons organic evaporate cane juice crystals, ¾ teaspoon coconut oil, and 1–2 drops essential oil such as Lavender or Peppermint. Place the scrub in a small jar and wrap with a ribbon or bow for the final touch.

6. DIY Bath Salts

   The easiest way to create an at-home spa experience? Bath salts! Use our simple bath salts recipe for a DIY gift that will make her feel like a queen. It includes Eucalyptus Globulus and Juniper essential oils to create an invigorating and steamy atmosphere that’s the perfect place to unwind.

7. Home Diffuser with a Custom Essential Oil Blend

   A new diffuser is always a treat, whether or not you already have one! The Home Diffuser, with a delicate rose-inspired look, is the perfect way to start spring. We love using it in living rooms and bedrooms, but she can also enjoy it at work, in a home office, or craft room. Make the gift extra special with a custom, homemade blend that’s personalized to include her favorite scents. Our list of favorite springtime blends make it easy to make your own.
