NEWS OF THE WORLD LEADER IN ESSENTIAL OILS

Volume 3.5 May 2013

page 1

ONE OF OUR favorite times of the year is speeding toward us—the 2013 International Grand Con-vention! The week bursts with a tingling energy of optimism and joy as we converge on Salt Lake City to be part of a mission that we can only fulfill together: Young Living oils in every home.

I chose this year’s theme—Believe—because it is at the heart of everything Young Living stands for. I have lived my life and built this company with a belief that there is a better way to live—a life of success and fulfillment. I did not want to be somebody who just worked hard, paid taxes, and then died. Being driven by my be-lief that I could make a difference, I went forth with determination and a vision that has encompassed the globe. You are the messengers who have carried that vision since we started more than 20 years ago and have watched Young Living blossom as the World Leader in Essential Oils®.

Now is the time to celebrate our belief in ourselves, our gratitude for God’s healing gift of essential oils, and our excitement of Young Living. Let’s celebrate like never before at this year’s convention on June 18–22. I can promise you that this will be a time of learning and discovery that you will never forget. This is a year for all of us to Believe in our Transformation, a year to renew, and perhaps even a year to change our life’s mission.

Don’t wait! Act now and let that transformation envelope you as you soar to new heights, believing in yourself with the anticipation of what is coming and what just might be around the corner.

Register now and join us for the 2013 International Grand Con-vention.

See you there!

WOULD YOU LIKE to recapture the supple, firm skin of your youth? My best advice to achieve this effect is to protect your skin from sun, eat right, drink plenty of water, and consistent-ly use products that will provide the finishing touches to a more youthful appearance.

For a fresh, youthful glow, less is usually more when it comes to skin care. However, one of the most impor-tant steps in your skin-care regimen should be to exfoliate.

The skin is constantly generating new cells at the lower layers and sending them up to the surface. On their way up, these cells gradually die and become filled with keratin that protects the skin. As the cells age and slough off, they make room for young-er cells—a process that slows as we age, making the skin rough, dull, and dry. Consequently, proper exfoliation is critical to healthy skin as we get older.

Exfoliating may be done a few times a week, depending on your skin type. If you have oily skin, exfoliate 2–3 days a week. For drier, delicate skin, you should be exfoliating 1–2 times a week.

Young Living’s Satin Facial Scrub™, Mint can help restore your healthy glow and give a feeling of newness to your skin. It will boost your skin’s radiance, smooth skin tone, unclog pores, and help diminish the appear-ance of fine lines. This unique scrub contains MSM, jojoba, aloe vera, and algae extract, among other ingredients that gently exfoliate.

When combined with our essential oils, Young Living’s Satin Facial Scrub helps speed up the natural rejuve-nating process and leaves your skin soft, healthy, and radiant.

EUROPEThe first quarter of 2013 was so exciting for Young Living in Europe, producing record sales and successfully introducing several new products into the market. The European distributors love the additions to the existing product fam-ily, including Lavender Foaming Hand Soap and Idaho blue spruce. Young Liv-ing Europe is also looking forward to some exciting events taking place this year, including Germany’s grand open-ing in Nuremberg and the European Convention in Vienna.

AUSTRALIAYoung Living Australia is excited to announce the introduction of two new products to the essential oil family: Idaho blue spruce and hinoki!

Idaho blue spruce is a Young Living ex-clusive from the distilled spruce branches and needles on site at the St. Maries farm in Idaho. This amazing oil contains high percentages of alpha-pinene and limonene and has a pleasing evergreen aroma that may promote relaxation of both mind and body.

Hinoki essential oil comes from the Japanese cypress and is native to central Japan. Hinoki wood has a spicy, lemon scent and is light pinkish-brown in color. It may uplift the mind and increase spiri-tual awareness.

SINGAPOREYoung Living Singapore enjoyed a very successful Raindrop Technique® train-ing, which brought facilitator Tamara Packer to Singapore, Malaysia, and the Philippines in April. Tamara did a won-derful job, and members and guests learned about the amazing health benefits of the Raindrop Technique.

Prior to the tour, the Singapore market held a private Raindrop Technique me-dia event, where a workshop and Rain-drop Technique sessions were given to members of various publications, including Wellness Way, Men’s Health, Cosmopolitan, Square Room, and SME. This was done with the help of Cierra Yet, training supervisor; Shuli Law, YL Platinum; and Claudia Hofmaier, YL Silver.

In May, Singapore will hold its first Next Generation Leaders Meeting, a full-day event for select Executives focused on goal setting, leadership, and business building. Our guest speakers will be Frances Fuller, YL Diamond; Shuli Law and Hong Chua, YL Plati-nums; and Yonie Bonawi, YL Silver. It is quite evident that Singapore’s distribu-tors are geared up toward leadership and fulfilling Gary’s vision of bringing Young Living into every home in the world!

MEXICOWith new products and great team-work, Young Living Mexico is growing quickly. Our field and corporate leader-ship continue to team up and educate on the amazing products recently intro-duced, including Progessence Plus™ and Slique Essence™. These products are creating a great buzz in the market as we continue to offer the best products in Mexico for wellness and abundance.

JAPANCrown Diamond Teri Secrest visited Japan and held a six-city tour through-out the country in April. Nearly 1,500 people enjoyed her wonderful sessions, Vibrant Living with Pure Foods and Essential Oils and Celebrating Wom-en’s Health.

Prior to Teri’s tour, Young Living was introduced to Japan in two popular women’s magazines, which is helping to create a positive image of Young Living in the country.

CANADANewly minted Young Living Canada celebrated its enormous milestone in March with a festive grand opening in Calgary. Joined by Gary and Mary Young and Young Living executive leadership, more than 1,000 people met for a weekend of opening ceremonies, presentations, and product trainings. This exciting weekend set the tone perfectly for Young Living Canada’s optimistic future.

ECUADOREcuador and the surrounding regions have been greatly blessed by the knowl-edge shared by Dr. Leida Arguello. Through her travels and webinars, thou-sands of people are being educated on essential oils around Latin America, and we are grateful for her commitment to sharing Young Living.

Young Living News from Around the World

WITH THE LAUNCH of our new com-pensation plan, Young Living successfully improved the ability of distributors to teach and build their businesses faster. Gary, Mary, and many others worked long and hard on these improvements to give distributors a competitive edge and to solidify Young Living as the World Leader in Essential Oils®.

The same can be said of the new NingXia Red® product line. Many indi-viduals worked countless hours to im-prove an already exceptional product. The new, improved benefits include seven times more essential oil, grape seed extract, and Kosher and Halal approval.

As with the compensation plan, NingXia Red’s increased benefits have truly simplified business building, giving distributors yet another competitive edge. By focusing on its superior health benefits and the use of yuzu, lemon, orange, and tangerine essential oils, Young Living distributors can use

NingXia Red as a gateway product to introducing individuals to the world of essential oils, preparing them for the next step of incorporating more oils into their daily lives.

Together, the new compensation plan and NingXia Red have simplified the process for attracting and retaining new distributors, advancing through the ranks at a faster pace, and more quickly qualifying for bonuses. Utilizing NingXia Red in your business can be as simple as adding a 4 pack (Item No. 3044) or 2-oz. singles (now full PV) to your Essential Rewards order or through sponsoring with the Start Living with NingXia Red kit (Item No. 4892).

Regardless of the path you take, as Platinum distributor Karen Malone explains, “NingXia Red gives us the foundation to repair and restore our health, and that’s why I love making Start Living with NingXia Red my sign-up kit of choice.”

THIS JULY ENJOY an unforgettable day of fun during Young Living’s Lavender Day festival! Featuring events for the entire family, including 5K and half mar-athon races, wagon rides, and enter-tainment unique to the World Leader in Essential Oils®, Lavender Day offers something exciting for all ages.

Take a walk down a path to the streets of an old Western town, but we reckon you’ll want to take cover because a Wild West shootout will inevitably be just around the corner.

Journey a little farther and be trans-ported back to the days of nobles, sires, and huge horses. Yep, the jousting tour-nament is back to provide you with a bone-crushing spectacle that will leave you marveling at the size and speed of the horses and the courage of the riders.

If you need to relax from the adrena-line overload of a shootout and jousting event, take a breath and unwind as your princesses attend a fairy tea party, complete with lavender lemonade and real-life fairies.

Remember, of course, two of Utah’s favorite race events: the annual Run Through the Lavender 5K and half mar-athon races, which boast some of the most stunning views through clean mountain air and blooming lavender fields as runners compete for cash prizes. Register now!
