Why LRP?

I get this question A LOT!

Why do I do loyalty rewards?

Because, I need to order every month.  Things that are on either every month or every few months but are constantly in need . . .

1) LLV- The Lifelong Vitality Pack.  I need these to keep me moving. I know when I have slacked on taking them and even my social interactions suffer because of it.  I am naturally an introvert and if my depression, body aches or anything that LLV cures comes back I am back to being a shut in.

2) A2Z chewables- Yup my kids need vitamins too!

3) Laundry detergent - I'd rather order it than make it ;)

4) Shampoo and Conditioner - If you haven't had Wild Orange and Lime sensation and yummy smells in the shower you are missing out and your hair is too! If I revert to the store bought stuff my hair tells an awful story.

5) DDR Prime- I don't know about you but I know a few people with, have, had cancer. That dirty disease that rips apart your whole self.  If I can protect my body now I am going too!

With just this list alone with LRP I can qualify for the free Product of the Month.  There is a new one every month this month its a 5 ml bottle of Balance.  Oh wait look at my list . . . Did I mention any oils? What? An essential oil company whose must have products don't even start with the oils? YES! I could never give up any of the blends I try to have an extra of each of those on hand because we use them ALL.

Once I add in my oils for the month that I am running out of then they have every 3/4 months a promo special. With a 200 point order you get something awesome. Let me change that AWESOME!!! This month is a promo month with a 200 point order I got the product of the month for ordering 125 points but since I wanted the promo I ordered 200 points and I got OnGuard and Breathe for FREE!

If that's not enough every month I order I earn points.
With my 200 point order next month I will get 60 free points to order whatever I want. 
This is everything I got FREE this month! Cool HUH!!! Getting a box where I got $175 worth of free product in is like Christmas! 

So why shouldn't you do LRP?

Fun in the Sun

I have 3 kids and they get me going everyday and they are the reason why I know oils will never leave my home.  A year ago we got a diagnosis for my youngest who was 3 at the time that she had allergies but she was allergic to scents, fragrances, man-made smells.  That really narrows your choices when in the summer you are outside everyday.  So I had to do my research to find options for her and for us to reduce the toxic load of sunscreen.  The modern essentials book had a recipe with Helichrysum. You added 3 drops of Helichrysum to 2 oz of water.  This is a wonderful recipe. I love things that are simple and require few ingredients.  This is not waterproof so it didn't solve all our problems but for the normal everyday it is amazing.  We still use it. Even though their are many more sunscreen recipes but I love this because I can squirt my kids in the face with it and not hurt their eyes at all.

Our next problem was after sun.  The Helichrysum spray helped when we had accidental exposure.  We've also used lavender (to soothe), peppermint (to take away the heat) but recently doTERRA did a blog post on an aftersun spray that I wanted to try.  I have a fair skinned daughter that came home from her dads with a red bum.  He had failed to spray the back of her legs while she was swimming and she was miserable.


So while she was soaking in an epsom salt bath my son and I were putting together this spray. The next morning she had a tan.  It wasn't red it didn't hurt she was fine even though hours before she was a lobster.  We love it.  After my kids shower after a long day outside they like to put it on because its cooling and it helps their skin.  And as always I don't worry about them using it because it doesn't have any adverse ingredients!
