What's In the Box? My February Order

After really enjoying seeing what others were getting in their boxes, I thought it would be fun to share what we get in our box (or in this month's case, boxes,) and why. Welcome to our February Essential Reward order! Essential Reward orders are important for our family for a couple of reasons. I use them to restock and get new oils at my discounted price. In addition to receiving the 24% distributor bonus, I receive points to use toward free products in the future, discounted shipping, and if I keep it above 100PV (Personal Volume, which is $100 most of the time,) I can earn commission on my team's orders. As if that wasn't enough, I can earn extra freebies, which I did this month! They will be the last portion of this post.

My kids get really excited when they see the FedEx truck pull up. When they see that Seed to Seal mark, they are even more thrilled. So am I. We love finding new ways to support our health, and we know that whatever is in these boxes will do just that. When they saw two boxes today, they could hardly control themselves!

After taking out the bubble packaging that keeps everything safe and sound, this is what I was left with. Tons of great products to help me reach my goals. Let's take a closer look at each one.

First out of the box was Inner Defense. This is a new product to our home, as are several of this month's goodies. Inner Defense is part of the O.I.L. infused promotion. With this and a couple of other products added to my order, I will get extra ER points to spend later. That extra incentive was a perfect way to move this from my want list to my order list. 

Why was it on our list of things we wanted to try? We strongly believe that the best way to support a healthy lifestyle is starting on the inside and working our way out. After battling a fair share of illnesses since the weather started to get bad (and we weren't out in the sun to help build our immune system,) we decided we would like to try Inner Defense to help support the health of our immune systems. For the time being, I will be the only one taking Inner Defense.

Here's what Young Living says about Inner Defense:

"Young Living's Inner Defense liquid softgels reinforce systemic defenses, promote healthy respiratory function, and are rich in immune-supporting ingredients."

I have posted about Thieves Household Cleaner before. After trying it during a team challenge, we have decided that this is the right household cleaner for us. It has many, many uses, it has yet to let us down, and it doesn't have the harsh chemicals most brands do. We have used it for lighter jobs like cleaning the bathroom, as well as harsher jobs like cleaning the inside of the oven. We found it comparable to what we were using as far as power, and far superior with smell and ingredients. This is also part of the O.I.L. promotion! We were very excited to find out we could earn extra benefits buying what we already love.

  

 The Thieves Hard Lozenges are something that I already had on my list of things to add to my E.R. order when the O.I.L. promotion came out. Again, we were excited to have something we were already going to order on the list of things with additional incentives. We haven't used these in the past, but with being sick a fair deal this winter, we decided to try these in place of buying candy or lozenges in the store. We are very excited at the prospect of getting rid of another synthetic filled product. I popped one in my mouth to give a taste review on the spot. Personally, I find it a little stronger than the toothpaste, but not unbearable. I think they are comparable in taste strength to most store brands, and I am very excited to replace the old brand with something better for my body.

 The last of the O.I.L. Infused promotion items in my order this month is NingXia Nitro. Yet another product I was already planning to order! NingXia Nitro will replace the sugar and chemical cream loaded cup of coffee I normally drink when I first wake up. NingXia Nitro is meant to boost physical energy and mental clarity, which I need to thankfully and prayerfully start my day in the middle of 'Mommy, I needs.' I have more on the way, which were free with Essential Reward points! I'll be sure to let you know what I think of NingXia Nitro after I have a proper chance to try it.

Slique Slim Caps were part of my order this month because of my journey to lose fat and gain health. They are formulated to help me get the fiber I need and to help control my hunger. I am really excited to put them into action for the first time tomorrow morning! I will be sure to let you know what I think when I do an update post on my health journey at the end of the month.

These oils are commonplace in our orders, and we try very hard not to run out of them. Lavender is our go to for many, many situations. I use it to help myself relax, and it is the preferred relaxing oil for one of my children. We use it to uplift moods, promote skin health, sooth itchy spots, and many other things. R.C. is the oil we use to help support my daughter's respiratory system. With the use of R.C. to support natural health, we have been able to (with pediatrician approval,) discontinue daily treatments to try to build health through other means. In fact, since October 31, 2013, we have had only one incident that required medical treatment, which is a wonderful step in her health! Some people are uncomfortable using Eucalyptus on children, so please be sure to check with your pediatrician if you intend to use R.C.

These two oils are both new to us, and they were FREE!!! These oils were part of February's monthly promotion. These bottles of Thyme and Taste of Italy are 5ml bottles. Thyme is regularly available, but Taste of Italy was special and only available through this promotion. Each came with a product card that tells about the oil and gives recommendations for it. Did you know Thyme can be used during your normal dental routine? I didn't until I read it on the card!

Finally, I got a copy of the Essential Edge, which keeps me up to date with some of the things going on in the company. It is inspiring, informative, and well worth the read. This month's issue has suggestions about business building from a Crown Diamond member, tips for pregnancy, a message from D Gary Young, a recognition section, and more.

That's all that was in my box(es) this month. I would love to hear if you enjoy this type of post. Let me know below! I would also enjoy hearing about what you get in your boxes, if you don't mind sharing with me.
