I never got into Young Living to use it as a business. Put for the quality of the oils. Do you know where the other companys get their oils from? Do they own their own farms and own their own distilleries?
Good video! Love Young Living products and will use them forever. Like anything else, I think we are all adults that can that the brand partner opportunity and see if it’s a fit for us. I think it’s wonderful for some people and not for others. Definitely not a scam. Just like you said an opportunity to be analyzed and decided on. I love sharing about it because it has gotten so many of my friends like you to make healthier choices and that’s worth it to me ❤
Good for you! I think it takes a lot for someone to recognize when to step away from something that no longer supports their beliefs or service them. Appreciate the honesty!
Their products are awesome and have completely changed my life. I will never stop using their thieves, inner defense, nixia juice. I have a weekend immune system and with these products they have changed my life. ALSO progessence plus has brought my pmdd down to normal pms. At the same time I’ve never sold their products and I don’t plan to so this doesn’t apply to me, but it’s interesting to hear your take. Also! There are totally some other awesome brands out there you’re so right. Thx for your video
I would like to see some comparison videos. Young Living is awesome but a little expensive and hard to get. Other brands can be weak, so yeah. I’d like some honest opinions.
Yes! I have used YL for 10 years and continue to love their products but I don't sell. I did look into it but decided the business structure wasn't for me.
I will say it - so you don't have to. MLM companies are all about sales A properly trained herbalist is about the individualized care of the individual . I dumped all MLM companies, too - absolutely trash
Wow! I saw your RUclips page by accident only because I saw you do a video about YL and PT comparison. Then after I'm surprised to see this one. because I'm in the same boat right now. I'm a YL brand partner for 2 years and I experience some you mention when I start also the YL. But after some circumstances that happened to me for this past five months and after following some certified aroma therapist last January I realize that I really love essential oils and it's not about brands anymore. And so I decided to try other brands like PT, and some brands here in Europe and believe it or not I'm so happy for what I'm doing right now and I learn lot more. As for now I quit already my ER program because here in Europe we have a different rules and I can't also continue spending lots of money. Anyway I'm so happy to see this video because I really can relate with everything that you mention. ♥️
I’ve been a member of YL since 2018- b4 the brand partner thing. I’ve found the brand partnering crippled me. It’s forcing one to do things without a decision that is best for ourselves Both financially & educationally. I’m on the rewards Pgm but I’ve decided to step down from brand partner. Now I get why I’ve felt this way. It’s all about control. Thank you for helping me understand my struggle. I too still purchase YL products- at my choice vs “you have to do xyz!” Americans love our freedom! Go girl- thank you!
No one is being forced I stayed because the products works and also proven by my other office works..expensive yes but quality is there..our health is not cheap anyway..atleast I get back something on what I'm spending for plus a good working quality of oils I am getting..atlest their oils really do work wonders what more do I need?
Fair comment. The cost also reflects having a fair wage policy where the products are produced and this flows through in the pricing too. I once purchased 10 litres of Clove Oil directly from China, and while the quality was OK, I later learned the wages involved and never purchased it again. Even that has a double edge to the sword.
Well, if you sign up to be a representative of a certain brand of almost anything...you cant just promote other brands most of time the time. Can you have a Coke and Pepsi delivery truck? Its like getting a job at Verizon and trying to also sell At&t products. Its is not strange or unusual. It is how much business in the world is done MLM or not MLM.
There are plenty of multi distribution, multi franchise businesses out there - you could start looking at the motor industry for starters. Coke and Pepsi are really good examples of protective and aggressive distribution, but you also have them on the same shelf in a supermarket, being freely chosen between. This video was less about the distribution network I think (as limiting as that is), than it is the actions of the manufacturer or lead distributor to prescribe a method of sale that is non-competitive, limiting and price protecting. Torey Noora made the right call for Torey Noora, and like so many others of us, we just want greater freedom of choice.
I lost my account this year conduct was very rude to me as I am a certified Natural health professional. And I help people find what works for them many came to me saying they didn’t like YL. I use modere and amare and now yea revive and some DoTerra as I am a affiliate with them. YL went as far as telling me to make my page public so they can see what I was doing or invite them into my group. I was like excuse me. Your not my boss of my personal business. So then they took my account away. It’s all good.
I am sorry. I am a member, excuse me, now a brand partner but have no power. It is as though the Young Living Brand of essential oils are a secret and thereby kept pure from potential adultery.
@@auroraaurora2420 There are no reps only brand partners and sponsors. When you become a brand partner you enjoy limited privileges and the opportunity to make money in a pyramid method by sponsoring someone else. The owner and management at the top of the pyramid jealously guard how their oils are advertised and professionally used.
@@Irene-sg6re oh ok. But you can still have an account with them as a regular buyer? I have one like that with doTerra. I am not their rep but I still do get discount and collect rewards point.
@@auroraaurora2420 Yes that is what I do and I like it very much except for the changes every time a new manager or employee comes in with university fed amalgamational intent into the one world order led by Santa Klaus Schwab of WEF and the traitor infiltrators in business and politics such as Traitor Trudeau.
It would be better that Young Living freely provided stores with their products. I enjoy their products. I was a member since 1995 and was rudely turned into a brand partner a couple of years ago. Now I cannot say member. A number of terms have been changed in their policies which I have disagreed with. But to enjoy the monthly essential rewards I have to toe the line with their policies because this is the only way I can afford essential oils. I have poor salesmanship in that I let the oils speak for themselves. Of course most people don't listen. I miss the founder Dr. Gary Young of Young Living. So much has changed without him. Anyway Young Living Essential Oils are excellent. There are monetary opportunities as well as touring opportunities to farms around the world, and various convention events.
"It would be better that Young Living freely provided stores with their products." No company provides stores with their products for free. However, there ARE stores with YL products for resell. I've bought some YL oils in a health store in Iowa. But the store has to buy them from YL, they don't get them for free.
i’m so frustrated with Young Living right now. I hate their subscribe and save method. I have been making less and less money because most of the people who were using oils hate the same things I do. And it makes it impossible for me to keep encouraging them to stay with the products if I hate the way, the ordering system is too. I just want to quit Young Living, but there’s certain products that I really loved and I can’t let go. I’ll be watching your blog to see if I can find some products to replace the ones that I love. Inner defense, super B, Comfort tone, Thyromin, Endoflex, and Progessence Plus for a few!!
I’ve been binge watching your content since I found you awhile back. I always learn so much and appreciate your honesty about different brands. I’d love to know the books and podcasts you are enjoying if you don’t mind sharing! 💌
I’m no longer a Brand Partner. I had little support with family/friends, skeptics, etc. I agree with what Torey’s saying and still love Young Living products and use them. I too am looking into aromatherapy schools/herbal medicine schools.
Yeah, good comments. Like you, I like the oils, and quite a few of the products, however the structure they EXPECT you work within is subtly coercive and confusing - by design I would suggest. Never made a single $, and flicked back to just purchasing the products I wanted, not the ones I didn't really want. It's not a cult, but be be aware there are other Brands that act in what can only be described as brand warfare, which is bizarre given the good all these products are capable of.
Just wondering why people here never tried Aromatics Int’l. For me this company is my 2nd choice for EOs. I dont trust revive. A friend gabe me a Rose roll on & it had stale smell! Mayne the carrier oil they mix with it, no idea bit sorry, I dont trust revive at all. Aromatics is my go to after YL.
Aromatics Int'l is on my list to try! I just haven't gotten around to it but I've heard good things. I would def buy an oil directly from Revive before judging them, the oil could have been old or purchased from a bad seller on Amazon, etc. Thanks for watching!
No not that, it’s that you can’t use specific words when talking about how essential oils can help with certain things. It’s just a regulation thing and it’s not just young living specific, but they were very careful with it.
Without YL America would still have no idea about essential oils! That’s why they can say that! Gary Young started essential oils revolution in the States. I tend to go with the OG of anything, rather than copycats
It's a pretty good idea to stay away from MLMs. Glad to hear you got out before you started to lose money. Congrats on your other successful brand partnerships! 💌
Would you be able to let us know how to become certified? Are you taking online training or stationary? I am wondering because I live in a very remote place and I want to become certified aromatherapist but can’t find anything in my town.
Thank you for sharing with us.. I’m a newbie with oils and wanting to learn more but struggle to find where to go to get good information to learn more..
I had so much trouble eith the YL custom service and the prices are simply a shame. The only treasure are Stress Away and Thieves, but that's the only good thing about YoungLiving
how do you know if any of it works as far as proof or quality control of the product , vs plants and herbs found in the bible ie cedar frankinsense etc
Torey is smart. I also quit my MLM many years ago. I only joined for 2 days and my other friend talked me out of it. Best decision I ever made. My upline who recruited me left a few years later. Best to work a 2nd job and buy stocks...especially while the stock market is declining in price. 20 years later your companies will likely grow in value. Stocks are the best way to own your own business.
Just watched your video and have just one question. What is different that you are hearing from the oil community than what you were learning from Young Living?
I will do a whole video on this soon, but a lot to do with the dilution and ingesting. I feel like Young living is just more loose with everything where there is safety to keep in mind.
Yes there certainly is. There is such a thing as oil toxicity too since they are actually chemical compounds ( the oils) and can no longer be called natural as they have changed their chemical composition through processing. I have my diploma in Aromatherapy ( not clinical, but enough to know how potent the oils are and how the toxic load can accumulate same as any other chemical)
I have been using YL oils since Aug22 and I love their oils. I am also a brand partner. The reason why I choose YL is because they have such strict farming standards if I am going to consume something I want to use the best quality. I would consider other oils if they could give an acct for where & how their oils are farmed etc
The control element is really disturbing. Also, yes, the MLM oil world is really different than the world of clinical aromatherapy. Good for you for being thoughtful about this!
@@jamiepsmithpdxYou were a brand partner getting paid by YL of course you shouldn’t advertise other companies. That shouldn’t be a red flag. Most companies would do the same. And as far as others giving you a hard time using oils you LOVE why would you listen to them? Why would that be a red flag? The way the company is set up, you can make money if you choose and what’s wrong with that? The CEO of Target makes money, the managers and supervisors at Target make money and we all continue to shop there. I love YL and I don’t care if it’s an MLM, it’s giving lots of families the opportunity to make money to support them. I say go for it!
@@emialimeek7 Ah, I see. this is pro v anti mlm. To be clear, I never got paid from YL, I only retailed their products to my massage clients, whearas with doTERRA I actively built a downline for 4 years. Just because an MLM gives people an 'opportunity' doesn't mean they will actually make money. Look at an income disclure statement or FTC stats. 99.7% will lose money. I did. And I'm sorry, but comparing a MLM model to a corp is a false equivalency, unless you're comparing the actual coporation of doTERRA to Target, for example, but an independent contractor sales rep and their team is not the same as a corporate structure AT ALL other than the shape...
Thanks. What are the companies you by from now. Going to retire in 2 years in two year. Can you share with me more on Instant messaging on Facebook I would love to know more of what you were doing thank you
So, can you share the top 3 affordable Aroma Therapy Schools that you considered? And whether you went through getting certified as a Aromatherapist. Thank you.
Hi! I'm just now seeing your comment. I actually just started my certification course and it's through aromaticstudies.com. I found they were the most aligned with my thinking and very affordable.
A lot of it has to do with pets and oils, dilution, and ingesting. YL info that I received (from other YL reps etc) was just a lot more loosey-goosey with everything. 🤷🏼♀️
I am slowly becoming persuaded to get the simply earth boxes using your codes. I use plant therapy & now and they are great, pass the purity test, they work great for me, and I love them. But! It’s great seeing how many recipes and benefits come w simply earth..
I got my kit and was all excited until it came to a screeching halt! Just because you get your Kit doesn't mean you can get a link & sale it. You have to them pay monthly fees for a link to them sale their products to make them money!
Hi Torey! I thoroughly enjoyed this. I love YL thieves and their diffusers will likely never switch but there’s a serious price point issue with some YL products that make it less consumer friendly especially to people on the fence. I also don’t love that YL BP “gate keep” some info. I understand needing a team but I prefer blogs (like yours) and brands like (SE) who are open to everyone!
There is literally zero proof to any of young livings claims about their ‘oil clarity’…. Many other companies will actually provide you with scientific proof about what is in their oils
Thieves is literally just a blend you can make on your own, and you can get diffusers cheaper that work just as well. Buy oils from someone responsible and local, don’t support this bullshit cult.
I stopped plant therapy of how their oils were not pure .. my cousins friend did a lot of research on them and found out they were not pure oils! It was sad I found they didnot help me with anxiety or woman issues. So I felt red flags on the company! Revive and simply earth I trusted them more , and felt relaxed more with their companies.
@@toreynoora it was a very long time ago and I donot have the information! I do know if they are pure they should help with benefits working and plant therapy never did that! I can say young living, doterra, and revive have helped me with their benefits.. I felt plant therapy was good for smelling but didnot help as that made me concerned, for plant therapy and gave me red flags!
@@toreynoora I too learned a lot of the oils who claim to be pure and are not pure… and yes your red flags 🚩 are on point. I’ve Slowed down on distributing YL but do plan to pick it up again…when a company can show the harvest from the where the oils come from like YL; that’s when I’ll consider using them… i don’t like how YL business side is however it is the only promise I’ve seen from seed to seal… best of luck
@@ilenemendozaim THe vibration of YL Oils is amazing no matter what others say. You don't have to do it as a business, just use the products because they work! Seed to Seal is what makes YL the tops in Essential Oils. I discovered YL in 95 and really no others compare, and I have looked into others.
@@goodlis59 the YL cult meeting was horrible It was at the University Frat club. They got someone drunk and took turns with him- and usedl YL as Lube it was horrible to see such a mess... They were brand partners too
I was in Young Living 5 years ago and it was bad then. It sounds like it's gotten even worse :( I am glad you got outta there some people have been doing it for like 10 years it's their livelihood
I have to say that since finding your account via a friend of mine I was always curious how you got away with doing comparisons etc since you were a brand partner. I certainly do not love that about the company however I do still love their products and love to purchase as a member. When I started using oils I started sharing comparisons also and I feel it was a big no no when I was even doing it and would get a lot of hate comments from YL BP's haha but that is why I never joined as a BP. I appreciate your videos and your comparisons so I love that you are staying true to you.
@@toreynoora yeah Jen O Sullivan is an Author and CA (certified aromatherapist) as well as a YL rep and she was always able to do side by side comparisons 🤔 odd
@@toreynoora I agree. I remember always thinking I never really saw videos like that because most people just stuck to ONE company but there are so many good ones. I believe it helps people make their ultimate choice.
YL wants the commissions to be confusing. It's a shady business doing shady stuff, that's why everyone leaves. Every single person I had under me is gone. I've been with them since 2014 and I'm hanging on by a thread.
I worked so hard to get sales and then could not for the life of me figure out how to get the commissions. The girl I’m under couldn’t even explain it for some reason. It really turned me off and I stopped sharing products, although I do love and use thieves products
Thank you for your honesty and information, I am relatively new to young living, only a subscriber, I just got my first order and I’m trying their products, was thinking about becoming more but still on the fence about that, I was on the fence prior to listening to you, now I’m more on the fence or on the other side of the fence. Lol anyway I subscribed and looking forward to more things that you have to say and learning from the information. Thanks so much. Linda Luiacono
Hi Torey. I have heard it said by a few YL members that YL oils are the only “pure” oils available in our country. They say that all the others are diluted or have additives to make them smell sweeter. Do you think that is true? Have you researched the other oils you use and have you found any truth in this statement? Thanks
@@toreynoora I'm not sure either. I've personally been trying to look into that a bit. For some reason I thought the contract with still binding after the next 12 months after leaving but I'm not too sure to be honest. I was curious if you knew anything :)
Also, if you are thinking about studying aromatherapy I have a playlist you might like with interviews from students from different schools and some information *I wish I would have known BEFORE studying aromatherapy* . I'll leave this here :) ruclips.net/p/PLvZ1Rm-7bKubDywylMsZbc5zO6DTWmWgS
I love the product and trust it. I don't sell it. But then I do shop around for quality and how the essential oil is procured from the plant or flower. I also look for 'organic'. You just have to shop around for quality FIRST.
I love Young Living Essential Oils. I order from a friend and she gives me her price. I diffuse daily and use for different purposes as well. It's great for burns, head aches, cleaning, bronchial, sores, moles, cooking, circulation ... I have tried other oils and none seem to be as potent as YL. I do like Doterra but I personally like YL better. I've compared several different oils and I think YL is more potent but I have no complaints with Doterra.
It’s not the product that is the problem…. Sadly it is structured as an MLM . Plus there are other things… There is a brand that is just as good as YL, free shipping, they don’t force anything on you….
Yes young living has great oils, so does simply earth, plant therapy, revive, Rocky Mountain oils, and Eden‘s Garden. Those are all of our favorites. And I’m also trying Mountain Rose herbs soon too. You just want to make sure they source and farm their Plants properly and test their oils by a third-party
Thanks for this. I felt like it was kind of cultish, but I do like there products. So I will still purchase from them from time to time. But I also like RMO, Simply Earth, Jade Bloom and Eden’s Garden. I do have some Reive and Plant Therapy oils, but they aren’t my favorites. But you keep being you! I love your videos and I have learned so much from you this past almost year. You really were the one that first got me to branch out to other companies. Along with a couple of others. So thank you. Good luck with your Aromatherapy studies!
I really want to try jade bloom and Edens garden, Edens garden is next on my list to compare 🥰 and thank you so much for sharing, I’m glad you were inspired to try new brands. Thanks for watching girl
So happy to hear you are no longer promoting YL. You are correct, some of the practices the brand partners teach are very dangerous. And those red flags…spot on!
I’ve never sold them but I have heard all of these “red flags” as well and know multiple people who have sold Young Living and then sold other MLM things not even being oils and they got “fired” from YL. So weird…
Good video, thank you for making this. I use Young living oils but when I'm making floor cleaner and things like that I definitely use cheaper oils. For instance when I make my bowl cleaner I will put one or two drops of another brand of essential oils in it, I don't care about the quality of the oil going into my toilet. I understand about the control issues, like you do. Some people will say stupid things like oil x cures disease x. Unfortunately, people will believe such things..... One thing I'd like to mention though... You ordered $100 PV each month to receive a commission check. You mentioned the problem was when your commission check was less than what you spent to qualify. So if you spent $110 on product and you received $80 back you lost $30 dollars... But what you failed to mention is you got $110 worth of product. It's only a good value if you're actually enjoying the product that you ordered, I'm not going against anything you said, actually I think you made a wonderful decision but I think you need to mention that you did receive something in return along with a small amount of money.
Hi, grateful for your video and somehow sorry for your experience. I would love to hear more about what you have learned with YL that was different from what you have learned with other aromatherapists. I have my guess, but would like to know from you! With regards to the YL practice, I too am not happy with some of the policies, but I am also aware of the pressure from FDA and other authorities and the risk they take if claims are being made by brand partners and it goes beyond not saying an oil can cure something. It is sad to not be able to share amazing medical properties that have been proven with tests and studies, but I do understand why! I am really looking to hear from you! Kind regards, Alina
Yeah I started Young Living oils several years ago, and it was very strange how many people who sold Young Living oils would make a lot of claims, some contradictory information, confusing information word of mouth and without any real sources to back up those claims, and then a year or two later they were very restricted by the government in how they could describe how oils could help you, so then their descriptions became very vague. I have their older handbook that still has a lot of the "This oil can be used for this ailment" etc. and I still use it. I'm just now starting Revive and am cautiously open to them--I feel like it still might not be as good quality as Young Living, but the Young Living community /is/ kind of cultish in a creepy way to me.
Yeah I joined after that happened, and mentioned a couple of times how their website/bottle really isn’t helpful and someone told me that’s why. All of the other essential oil brands I use have really helpful information on specifics on the website and on the bottles
MLMS are a way to get a product out there different avenues for different things but they are not cults😂 they are people who believe in what the are representing ! Nothing wrong with passion about things! But some can give it a bad taste in your mouth 🤷♀️ I have been in a few and do it mainly to save money especially if you can’t get that item or quality anywhere else! People said bad things about Amway but guess what they are still around and my sister in law used to be the secretary to the president/ owners and they were amazing to her ! So they are not all bad! Just don’t be so lambish about different that’s what makes the world go round!
@@debifulda551 No worries--I used Young Living for years and know people who sell or sold it, the product is good, it's just the way some people believe in Young Living almost seems religious in an off way to me. For instance, when a cousin of mine asked about Revive, someone who was an advocate of Young Living got really mad that she was even considering any other brand than Young Living and was making up all this stuff about Revive not being high quality because that's what everyone was told about Young Living being the best for so long and that no other brand can compare to it, but it's not the only great brand anymore and some people seemed to be holding on to what used to be said about Young Living when it /was/ still true that there weren't any other brands as good quality out there. Also the promotional videos for Young Living just seem very utopian and fake to me. That's just me. No doubt the brand will still last, like you said. Those are just my feelings and thoughts about it.
@@EmilynWood Young Living's top people are very New Age, that's why it seems cultish. That's why I went with Doterra. Although they have added more New Age type things, they are still mild compared to YL.
I love YL and the recent changes they made make it so much easier to sell if you want to, as well as make commission. I do not think they are a perfect company and I think that they are finally slowly starting to make some changes per request and complaint from consumers. I hope it continues to become more consumer friendly. That being said, I absolutely respect your decision to leave the brand partnership with them! I would love to know more about what aromatherapy books and classes you are involved in/recommend? This is an area I am very interested in myself! Thanks for always being transparent! ❤
I took a college essential oil class at the large university they said whatever you do don't consume essential oils. That was a red flag to me. I like Edens Garden that state safety and give more information on their oils.
i got gifted a bag from a hun. contained cough drops and shampoo magically the next day i have a severe sickness she isnt sick and magically the next day there was gunk in my hair that was like glue. how convient the shampoo was in there. she never went near my hair and i called her the next day she isnt sick but i feel like she did something since how convient thats what the gifts were
Great video. Ive never been in an mlm, but I am 2/3 through my certification through aromahead and I wanted to tell you that certification is a great idea. It seems you are going in a better direction now. Good for you!
@@toreynoora I LOVE AROMAHEAD! I begin my certification journey with them 2yrs ago and had a devastating circumstance whereby I was unable to continue. With their program, once your tuition is paid, you have access to their courses for life. I'm about to begin my certification again!! And I love Aromatic oils- they are by far the best I've ever used! 🤗
Great video. So you sell $3,000 in YL oils, and you get back from them $2.50. Basically, then after that, you have to keep buying at least one or two oils from them to be a member. That's ridiculous. The YL oils are too expensive, Aura Cacia are good oils and more modest for your pocket. Just because the name has to be the best? Wrong and not exactly.
I started with DoTerra and quickly found Revive in my newsfeed. Like you I was a little put off by their MLM bashing and I was so in love with essential oils that I was very close to becoming a consultant with DoTerra. But I got curious enough to try it. I’ve since switched to revive and ditched the idea of becoming a consultant with DT. I couldn’t have someone pay that much more for the same exact product. I still order a few things from DT but will likely not renew my account.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve never tried Doterra and really probably only would for a comparison because so many request it. I’m just so out off my mlms at the moment
interesting. I tried Revive but i am drawn back to doTerra. I cant feel the same about Revive. I thought i would. I almost ditched doterra account as well this February but decided to stick around and learn more or even become the rep.
wow! I needed this perspective. I was on the same track, but I coudnt find someone near me to talk with about this. Thank you a lot for sharing this! I totally agree with your red flags, as I have the same at this moment! For addition- I am experiencing a kick off from one part of their community as i belong to "some other brand partner". So it tells me that they even fight each other !? Crazy and childish! Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much for sharing. Do you still like Rocky Mountain? I wasn't aware of YL and all their red flags. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you also for the Starbucks gift card. I have not been able to use it as of yet since I have to drive 75 miles to Fort Smith! They are far and few between here in AR! Again thanks for your transparency and sharing. 💌
thanks so much Nancy! I hope you can get to starbuck soon! I will remember that if you're a winner again I'll have to send you something else! Yes, I do still love Rocky Mountain, Plant Therapy, Simply Earth, and I'm just getting into Revive
Young Living follows the French model of aromatherapy. Most others in US right now follow the English model. The English model is more cautious. In my opinion, part of the reason is because they are talking about essential oils in general, not a specific brand that they are confident of the high purity.

I never got into Young Living to use it as a business. Put for the quality of the oils. Do you know where the other companys get their oils from? Do they own their own farms and own their own distilleries?
I have this same question, when it comes to the other brands.
you are an inspiration. i do love your honesty....happy with YoungLiving and the community for many years here and now too.. God bless
Good video! Love Young Living products and will use them forever. Like anything else, I think we are all adults that can that the brand partner opportunity and see if it’s a fit for us. I think it’s wonderful for some people and not for others. Definitely not a scam. Just like you said an opportunity to be analyzed and decided on. I love sharing about it because it has gotten so many of my friends like you to make healthier choices and that’s worth it to me ❤
Good for you! I think it takes a lot for someone to recognize when to step away from something that no longer supports their beliefs or service them. Appreciate the honesty!
Thank you so much ❤️

Yes! I have used YL for 10 years and continue to love their products but I don't sell. I did look into it but decided the business structure wasn't for me.
I always think it's cute how they say that their Therapeutic Essential Oils are better than Certified Organic...
I will say it - so you don't have to. MLM companies are all about sales
A properly trained herbalist is about the individualized care of the individual .
I dumped all MLM companies, too - absolutely trash
How can I purchase young living essential oils?
Pretty sure you can just go to their website and purchase?
Wow! I saw your RUclips page by accident only because I saw you do a video about YL and PT comparison. Then after I'm surprised to see this one. because I'm in the same boat right now. I'm a YL brand partner for 2 years and I experience some you mention when I start also the YL. But after some circumstances that happened to me for this past five months and after following some certified aroma therapist last January I realize that I really love essential oils and it's not about brands anymore. And so I decided to try other brands like PT, and some brands here in Europe and believe it or not I'm so happy for what I'm doing right now and I learn lot more. As for now I quit already my ER program because here in Europe we have a different rules and I can't also continue spending lots of money. Anyway I'm so happy to see this video because I really can relate with everything that you mention. ♥️
Thanks so much for sharing. I’m glad the video was helpful. Let me know if you want me to do any specific videos!
I’ve been a member of YL since 2018- b4 the brand partner thing. I’ve found the brand partnering crippled me. It’s forcing one to do things without a decision that is best for ourselves Both financially & educationally. I’m on the rewards Pgm but I’ve decided to step down from brand partner. Now I get why I’ve felt this way. It’s all about control.
Thank you for helping me understand my struggle. I too still purchase YL products- at my choice vs “you have to do xyz!” Americans love our freedom! Go girl- thank you!
Every company whether MLM or not has rules you have to follow in order to get paid.
I ljve in México You are expert in Aromaterapia,only can I find young living for start selling essetial oils
I am so curious to learn what you’re learning with aromatherapy vs what you learned with YL? Would love to hear all the points! Thanks for this video!
I talk about it in a lot of my newer videos. A lot of safety info, dilution, over-use, etc
No one is being forced I stayed because the products works and also proven by my other office works..expensive yes but quality is there..our health is not cheap anyway..atleast I get back something on what I'm spending for plus a good working quality of oils I am getting..atlest their oils really do work wonders what more do I need?
Exactly!
Fair comment. The cost also reflects having a fair wage policy where the products are produced and this flows through in the pricing too. I once purchased 10 litres of Clove Oil directly from China, and while the quality was OK, I later learned the wages involved and never purchased it again. Even that has a double edge to the sword.
Totally agree with you! I still love many YL products, but am not a fan of their business structure changes.
It’s a shame it has to be the way it is but 🤷🏼♀️ thanks for watching
Me too
What did YL conduct contact you regarding if your posts weren’t making illegal claims(such as oils curing disease)?
Hormone support, allergy support, headache support etc
@@toreynoora you’ve inspired me to fully read the updated Policy & procedures after seeing this video 🤓lol thank you for this input!
@@tori.setfreebytruth7009 lol I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who didnt read it all
Well, if you sign up to be a representative of a certain brand of almost anything...you cant just promote other brands most of time the time. Can you have a Coke and Pepsi delivery truck? Its like getting a job at Verizon and trying to also sell At&t products. Its is not strange or unusual. It is how much business in the world is done MLM or not MLM.
🙃👍🏼
Thank you! There are still people out there who use common sense😉
There are plenty of multi distribution, multi franchise businesses out there - you could start looking at the motor industry for starters. Coke and Pepsi are really good examples of protective and aggressive distribution, but you also have them on the same shelf in a supermarket, being freely chosen between.
This video was less about the distribution network I think (as limiting as that is), than it is the actions of the manufacturer or lead distributor to prescribe a method of sale that is non-competitive, limiting and price protecting.
Torey Noora made the right call for Torey Noora, and like so many others of us, we just want greater freedom of choice.
I lost my account this year conduct was very rude to me as I am a certified Natural health professional. And I help people find what works for them many came to me saying they didn’t like YL. I use modere and amare and now yea revive and some DoTerra as I am a affiliate with them. YL went as far as telling me to make my page public so they can see what I was doing or invite them into my group. I was like excuse me. Your not my boss of my personal business. So then they took my account away. It’s all good.
I am sorry. I am a member, excuse me, now a brand partner but have no power. It is as though the Young Living Brand of essential oils are a secret and thereby kept pure from potential adultery.
But you were a YL rep or just had account to buy regularly? I don't understand.
@@auroraaurora2420 There are no reps only brand partners and sponsors. When you become a brand partner you enjoy limited privileges and the opportunity to make money in a pyramid method by sponsoring someone else. The owner and management at the top of the pyramid jealously guard how their oils are advertised and professionally used.
@@Irene-sg6re oh ok. But you can still have an account with them as a regular buyer? I have one like that with doTerra. I am not their rep but I still do get discount and collect rewards point.
@@auroraaurora2420 Yes that is what I do and I like it very much except for the changes every time a new manager or employee comes in with university fed amalgamational intent into the one world order led by Santa Klaus Schwab of WEF and the traitor infiltrators in business and politics such as Traitor Trudeau.
Fern and Petal is a Canadien company that started in the mid-90"s. I also love Aromatics International, and Stillpoint Aromatics.
It would be better that Young Living freely provided stores with their products. I enjoy their products. I was a member since 1995 and was rudely turned into a brand partner a couple of years ago. Now I cannot say member. A number of terms have been changed in their policies which I have disagreed with. But to enjoy the monthly essential rewards I have to toe the line with their policies because this is the only way I can afford essential oils. I have poor salesmanship in that I let the oils speak for themselves. Of course most people don't listen. I miss the founder Dr. Gary Young of Young Living. So much has changed without him. Anyway Young Living Essential Oils are excellent. There are monetary opportunities as well as touring opportunities to farms around the world, and various convention events.
"It would be better that Young Living freely provided stores with their products." No company provides stores with their products for free. However, there ARE stores with YL products for resell. I've bought some YL oils in a health store in Iowa. But the store has to buy them from YL, they don't get them for free.
@@periwinkle-dragonfly Read the comment again. Freely (without restriction) vs Free (of cost), are two entirely different things.
i’m so frustrated with Young Living right now. I hate their subscribe and save method. I have been making less and less money because most of the people who were using oils hate the same things I do. And it makes it impossible for me to keep encouraging them to stay with the products if I hate the way, the ordering system is too. I just want to quit Young Living, but there’s certain products that I really loved and I can’t let go. I’ll be watching your blog to see if I can find some products to replace the ones that I love. Inner defense, super B, Comfort tone, Thyromin, Endoflex, and Progessence Plus for a few!!
As for the supplements I'm not sure, but I love Harmonious Healing from Revive for replacing Pro+ revive-eo.com/?rfsn=5281479.d98161
Sorry to hear about the bust up but you've done the right thing
Thank you!
I’ve been binge watching your content since I found you awhile back. I always learn so much and appreciate your honesty about different brands. I’d love to know the books and podcasts you are enjoying if you don’t mind sharing! 💌
I will do a whole video on it soon! The book I’m listening to currently is essential oils to boost the brain and heal the body by Jodi Cohen
I’m no longer a Brand Partner. I had little support with family/friends, skeptics, etc. I agree with what Torey’s saying and still love Young Living products and use them. I too am looking into aromatherapy schools/herbal medicine schools.
Thanks for watching & good luck with everything!
Awesome video Torey! Are you able to share the books on Aromatherapy that you find useful?
Yes! I can do a video on that for sure
I’d definitely be interested in this as well!
Yeah, good comments. Like you, I like the oils, and quite a few of the products, however the structure they EXPECT you work within is subtly coercive and confusing - by design I would suggest. Never made a single $, and flicked back to just purchasing the products I wanted, not the ones I didn't really want. It's not a cult, but be be aware there are other Brands that act in what can only be described as brand warfare, which is bizarre given the good all these products are capable of.
How do we make sure we are not a brand partner if we still shop young living
Your account will change and it will say customer. You won’t have the brand partner dashboard with your downline
Greetings!, subscribed. I prepare my own essential oils.
Thanks for subscribing!
@@toreynoora welcome
Just wondering why people here never tried Aromatics Int’l. For me this company is my 2nd choice for EOs. I dont trust revive. A friend gabe me a Rose roll on & it had stale smell! Mayne the carrier oil they mix with it, no idea bit sorry, I dont trust revive at all. Aromatics is my go to after YL.
Aromatics Int'l is on my list to try! I just haven't gotten around to it but I've heard good things. I would def buy an oil directly from Revive before judging them, the oil could have been old or purchased from a bad seller on Amazon, etc. Thanks for watching!
One question- how exactly they've been controlling you while sharing info about products? Like you should tell only pros ?
No not that, it’s that you can’t use specific words when talking about how essential oils can help with certain things. It’s just a regulation thing and it’s not just young living specific, but they were very careful with it.
What is your current response to the fact that YL associates say YL is THE BEST compared to others? How can they make that statement?
Without YL America would still have no idea about essential oils! That’s why they can say that! Gary Young started essential oils revolution in the States. I tend to go with the OG of anything, rather than copycats
It's a pretty good idea to stay away from MLMs. Glad to hear you got out before you started to lose money. Congrats on your other successful brand partnerships! 💌
Thanks so much! It’s so fun
Yeah! MLM are dumb, it’s much better to give all your money to one person so they can be rich instead of spreading the wealth to devoted users.
Thanks for being true to yourself.❤
Would you be able to let us know how to become certified? Are you taking online training or stationary? I am wondering because I live in a very remote place and I want to become certified aromatherapist but can’t find anything in my town.
Hi! I actually just started. I’m getting certified through aromaticstudies.com
@@toreynoora ok, thank you!
Thank you for sharing with us.. I’m a newbie with oils and wanting to learn more but struggle to find where to go to get good information to learn more..
I learn a lot from simply earth! And they give you access to a course when you subscribe
I had so much trouble eith the YL custom service and the prices are simply a shame. The only treasure are Stress Away and Thieves, but that's the only good thing about YoungLiving
i'm sorry you had a bad experience, customer service was always hit or miss for me
how do you know if any of it works as far as proof or quality control of the product , vs plants and herbs found in the bible ie cedar frankinsense etc
Torey is smart. I also quit my MLM many years ago. I only joined for 2 days and my other friend talked me out of it. Best decision I ever made. My upline who recruited me left a few years later. Best to work a 2nd job and buy stocks...especially while the stock market is declining in price. 20 years later your companies will likely grow in value. Stocks are the best way to own your own business.
Just watched your video and have just one question. What is different that you are hearing from the oil community than what you were learning from Young Living?
Thank you for sharing this with us. I wonder what were the differences between the things aromatherapists tell and the YL information?
I will do a whole video on this soon, but a lot to do with the dilution and ingesting. I feel like Young living is just more loose with everything where there is safety to keep in mind.
@@toreynoora so excited to learn this from you!
Yes there certainly is. There is such a thing as oil toxicity too since they are actually chemical compounds ( the oils) and can no longer be called natural as they have changed their chemical composition through processing. I have my diploma in Aromatherapy ( not clinical, but enough to know how potent the oils are and how the toxic load can accumulate same as any other chemical)
Have you looked into Aromahead Institute for certification? I have done a few courses and have learned a lot about essential oils with them.
yes! that is one I'm considering. thanks for sharing
I have been using YL oils since Aug22 and I love their oils. I am also a brand partner. The reason why I choose YL is because they have such strict farming standards if I am going to consume something I want to use the best quality. I would consider other oils if they could give an acct for where & how their oils are farmed etc
A lot of brands share their farming practices 😊
The control element is really disturbing. Also, yes, the MLM oil world is really different than the world of clinical aromatherapy. Good for you for being thoughtful about this!
Thanks so much for watching. It’s all so interesting
They are not controlling they have to make sure people are compliant.
@@emialimeek7 compliance enforcement is not what I was referring to.
@@jamiepsmithpdxYou were a brand partner getting paid by YL of course you shouldn’t advertise other companies. That shouldn’t be a red flag. Most companies would do the same. And as far as others giving you a hard time using oils you LOVE why would you listen to them? Why would that be a red flag? The way the company is set up, you can make money if you choose and what’s wrong with that? The CEO of Target makes money, the managers and supervisors at Target make money and we all continue to shop there. I love YL and I don’t care if it’s an MLM, it’s giving lots of families the opportunity to make money to support them. I say go for it!
@@emialimeek7 Ah, I see. this is pro v anti mlm. To be clear, I never got paid from YL, I only retailed their products to my massage clients, whearas with doTERRA I actively built a downline for 4 years. Just because an MLM gives people an 'opportunity' doesn't mean they will actually make money. Look at an income disclure statement or FTC stats. 99.7% will lose money. I did. And I'm sorry, but comparing a MLM model to a corp is a false equivalency, unless you're comparing the actual coporation of doTERRA to Target, for example, but an independent contractor sales rep and their team is not the same as a corporate structure AT ALL other than the shape...
Thanks. What are the companies you by from now. Going to retire in 2 years in two year. Can you share with me more on Instant messaging on Facebook I would love to know more of what you were doing thank you
So, can you share the top 3 affordable Aroma Therapy Schools that you considered? And whether you went through getting certified as a Aromatherapist. Thank you.
i would be interested too.
Hi! I'm just now seeing your comment. I actually just started my certification course and it's through aromaticstudies.com. I found they were the most aligned with my thinking and very affordable.
What were some of the things that you learned about aromatherapy that was contrary to what young living taught?
A lot of it has to do with pets and oils, dilution, and ingesting. YL info that I received (from other YL reps etc) was just a lot more loosey-goosey with everything. 🤷🏼♀️
I am slowly becoming persuaded to get the simply earth boxes using your codes. I use plant therapy & now and they are great, pass the purity test, they work great for me, and I love them. But! It’s great seeing how many recipes and benefits come w simply earth..
The simply earth box is so fun! I really love getting it each month. And I learn a lot from them
Do it! It’s totally worth it!

@@a.rielkate yay! The Feb box is good. And you can’t beat the $40 back!
Great products, but as an MLM it's a horrible company.
Have you found a comparable Frankincense oil to YL's brand?
dōTERRA has awesome oils
Sorry can't figure out how to add your emoji
No problem, got ya!
I got my kit and was all excited until it came to a screeching halt! Just because you get your Kit doesn't mean you can get a link & sale it. You have to them pay monthly fees for a link to them sale their products to make them money!
Hi Torey! I thoroughly enjoyed this. I love YL thieves and their diffusers will likely never switch but there’s a serious price point issue with some YL products that make it less consumer friendly especially to people on the fence. I also don’t love that YL BP “gate keep” some info. I understand needing a team but I prefer blogs (like yours) and brands like (SE) who are open to everyone!
Yes yes and yes! Transparency is so important with brands
There is literally zero proof to any of young livings claims about their ‘oil clarity’…. Many other companies will actually provide you with scientific proof about what is in their oils
Thieves is literally just a blend you can make on your own, and you can get diffusers cheaper that work just as well. Buy oils from someone responsible and local, don’t support this bullshit cult.
I stopped plant therapy of how their oils were not pure .. my cousins friend did a lot of research on them and found out they were not pure oils!
It was sad I found they didnot help me with anxiety or woman issues.
So I felt red flags on the company!
Revive and simply earth I trusted them more , and felt relaxed more with their companies.
Can you send me anything on this? I’d love to read up on it
@@toreynoora it was a very long time ago and I donot have the information!
I do know if they are pure they should help with benefits working and plant therapy never did that!
I can say young living, doterra, and revive have helped me with their benefits..
I felt plant therapy was good for smelling but didnot help as that made me concerned, for plant therapy and gave me red flags!
@@toreynoora I too learned a lot of the oils who claim to be pure and are not pure… and yes your red flags 🚩 are on point. I’ve Slowed down on distributing YL but do plan to pick it up again…when a company can show the harvest from the where the oils come from like YL; that’s when I’ll consider using them… i don’t like how YL business side is however it is the only promise I’ve seen from seed to seal… best of luck
@@ilenemendozaim THe vibration of YL Oils is amazing no matter what others say. You don't have to do it as a business, just use the products because they work!

What do you think pura? Otherwise i have used revive loved it.
The same for me in all these reasons! The more I studied aromatherapy the more I’m amazed of the things that YL pushed that aren’t right

What did they Push?

it works for some ppl and it doesn't for others
Well I understand where you are coming from now. I use Young Living
I have to say that since finding your account via a friend of mine I was always curious how you got away with doing comparisons etc since you were a brand partner. I certainly do not love that about the company however I do still love their products and love to purchase as a member. When I started using oils I started sharing comparisons also and I feel it was a big no no when I was even doing it and would get a lot of hate comments from YL BP's haha but that is why I never joined as a BP. I appreciate your videos and your comparisons so I love that you are staying true to you.
Thank you so much! It’s so weird like why wouldn’t they want comparisons even if you’re not putting them down, but just doing a side by side 🤔

Fom Utah so I am quit familiar with MLMS
The control of what you can share about YL are actually FDA regulations.
YL wants the commissions to be confusing. It's a shady business doing shady stuff, that's why everyone leaves. Every single person I had under me is gone. I've been with them since 2014 and I'm hanging on by a thread.
I worked so hard to get sales and then could not for the life of me figure out how to get the commissions. The girl I’m under couldn’t even explain it for some reason. It really turned me off and I stopped sharing products, although I do love and use thieves products
Hi Torey, I appreciate your transparency and I feel it so important to stay true to yourself when promoting something. 💌
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your honesty and information, I am relatively new to young living, only a subscriber, I just got my first order and I’m trying their products, was thinking about becoming more but still on the fence about that, I was on the fence prior to listening to you, now I’m more on the fence or on the other side of the fence.

Hi Torey. I have heard it said by a few YL members that YL oils are the only “pure” oils available in our country. They say that all the others are diluted or have additives to make them smell sweeter. Do you think that is true? Have you researched the other oils you use and have you found any truth in this statement? Thanks
Some oils do, but certainly not all. You can look up quality reports, Good oil company should have this available.
Just curious are you still allowed to post content YL products after leaving?
I don't think they can control me outside of the contract? but I guess I didn't really check in to that ...
@@toreynoora I'm not sure either. I've personally been trying to look into that a bit. For some reason I thought the contract with still binding after the next 12 months after leaving but I'm not too sure to be honest. I was curious if you knew anything :)

I love the product and trust it. I don't sell it. But then I do shop around for quality and how the essential oil is procured from the plant or flower. I also look for 'organic'. You just have to shop around for quality FIRST.
thanks for watching! there are so many great bands
What’s the best brand??
Thanks for the info! Fortunately, there are lot of options available besides YL.💌
Yes! For sure
I love Young Living Essential Oils. I order from a friend and she gives me her price. I diffuse daily and use for different purposes as well. It's great for burns, head aches, cleaning, bronchial, sores, moles, cooking, circulation ... I have tried other oils and none seem to be as potent as YL. I do like Doterra but I personally like YL better. I've compared several different oils and I think YL is more potent but I have no complaints with Doterra.
It’s not the product that is the problem…. Sadly it is structured as an MLM . Plus there are other things…
There is a brand that is just as good as YL, free shipping, they don’t force anything on you….
Who are the other brands?

Are the essential oils real? I’m only asking for me to use? Which brand is the best?
Yes young living has great oils, so does simply earth, plant therapy, revive, Rocky Mountain oils, and Eden‘s Garden. Those are all of our favorites. And I’m also trying Mountain Rose herbs soon too. You just want to make sure they source and farm their Plants properly and test their oils by a third-party

Thanks for this. I felt like it was kind of cultish, but I do like there products. So I will still purchase from them from time to time. But I also like RMO, Simply Earth, Jade Bloom and Eden’s Garden. I do have some Reive and Plant Therapy oils, but they aren’t my favorites. But you keep being you!

So happy to hear you are no longer promoting YL. You are correct, some of the practices the brand partners teach are very dangerous. And those red flags…spot on!
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for posting this - it’s always one sided with companies

Thank you for watching!
I’ve never sold them but I have heard all of these “red flags” as well and know multiple people who have sold Young Living and then sold other MLM things not even being oils and they got “fired” from YL. So weird…
Good video, thank you for making this. I use Young living oils but when I'm making floor cleaner and things like that I definitely use cheaper oils. For instance when I make my bowl cleaner I will put one or two drops of another brand of essential oils in it, I don't care about the quality of the oil going into my toilet.
I understand about the control issues, like you do. Some people will say stupid things like oil x cures disease x. Unfortunately, people will believe such things.....
One thing I'd like to mention though... You ordered $100 PV each month to receive a commission check. You mentioned the problem was when your commission check was less than what you spent to qualify. So if you spent $110 on product and you received $80 back you lost $30 dollars... But what you failed to mention is you got $110 worth of product.
It's only a good value if you're actually enjoying the product that you ordered, I'm not going against anything you said, actually I think you made a wonderful decision but I think you need to mention that you did receive something in return along with a small amount of money.
Thanks for your input! 🙂
Hi, grateful for your video and somehow sorry for your experience.
I would love to hear more about what you have learned with YL that was different from what you have learned with other aromatherapists. I have my guess, but would like to know from you!
With regards to the YL practice, I too am not happy with some of the policies, but I am also aware of the pressure from FDA and other authorities and the risk they take if claims are being made by brand partners and it goes beyond not saying an oil can cure something. It is sad to not be able to share amazing medical properties that have been proven with tests and studies, but I do understand why!
I am really looking to hear from you!
Kind regards,
Alina
Yeah I started Young Living oils several years ago, and it was very strange how many people who sold Young Living oils would make a lot of claims, some contradictory information, confusing information word of mouth and without any real sources to back up those claims, and then a year or two later they were very restricted by the government in how they could describe how oils could help you, so then their descriptions became very vague.
I have their older handbook that still has a lot of the "This oil can be used for this ailment" etc. and I still use it.
I'm just now starting Revive and am cautiously open to them--I feel like it still might not be as good quality as Young Living, but the Young Living community /is/ kind of cultish in a creepy way to me.
Yeah I joined after that happened, and mentioned a couple of times how their website/bottle really isn’t helpful and someone told me that’s why. All of the other essential oil brands I use have really helpful information on specifics on the website and on the bottles
MLMS are a way to get a product out there different avenues for different things but they are not cults😂 they are people who believe in what the are representing ! Nothing wrong with passion about things! But some can give it a bad taste in your mouth 🤷♀️ I have been in a few and do it mainly to save money especially if you can’t get that item or quality anywhere else! People said bad things about Amway but guess what they are still around and my sister in law used to be the secretary to the president/ owners and they were amazing to her ! So they are not all bad! Just don’t be so lambish about different that’s what makes the world go round!
@@debifulda551 No worries--I used Young Living for years and know people who sell or sold it, the product is good, it's just the way some people believe in Young Living almost seems religious in an off way to me. For instance, when a cousin of mine asked about Revive, someone who was an advocate of Young Living got really mad that she was even considering any other brand than Young Living and was making up all this stuff about Revive not being high quality because that's what everyone was told about Young Living being the best for so long and that no other brand can compare to it, but it's not the only great brand anymore and some people seemed to be holding on to what used to be said about Young Living when it /was/ still true that there weren't any other brands as good quality out there.
Also the promotional videos for Young Living just seem very utopian and fake to me. That's just me. No doubt the brand will still last, like you said. Those are just my feelings and thoughts about it.
@@EmilynWood Young Living's top people are very New Age, that's why it seems cultish. That's why I went with Doterra. Although they have added more New Age type things, they are still mild compared to YL.
But yea essential oils don't cure anything, they smell nice and are associated with a feeling that is all. Possibly may clear a stuffy nose.
correct, they do not cure anything
I love YL and the recent changes they made make it so much easier to sell if you want to, as well as make commission. I do not think they are a perfect company and I think that they are finally slowly starting to make some changes per request and complaint from consumers. I hope it continues to become more consumer friendly. That being said, I absolutely respect your decision to leave the brand partnership with them! I would love to know more about what aromatherapy books and classes you are involved in/recommend? This is an area I am very interested in myself! Thanks for always being transparent! ❤
Girl, no. Go buy your oils from a responsible, local herbalist and stop supporting cults.
I love Young Living. ❤ and yes you can consume oils.
I took a college essential oil class at the large university they said whatever you do don't consume essential oils. That was a red flag to me. I like Edens Garden that state safety and give more information on their oils.
Interesting. It’s all a personal preference after researching is done
Damn youtube is constantly censoring me. Good luck to all of you who fight the good fight. Twitter at least is getting cleaned up of porn.
Love the oils❤ didn't get involved with the business part.
Thanks for watching ♥️
i got gifted a bag from a hun. contained cough drops and shampoo magically the next day i have a severe sickness she isnt sick and magically the next day there was gunk in my hair that was like glue. how convient the shampoo was in there. she never went near my hair and i called her the next day she isnt sick but i feel like she did something since how convient thats what the gifts were
Great video. Ive never been in an mlm, but I am 2/3 through my certification through aromahead and I wanted to tell you that certification is a great idea. It seems you are going in a better direction now. Good for you!
Thanks! Aromahead is one I’m considering. Would you recommend?
@@toreynoora 100% yesyesyes!!!
@qko90 thank you for sharing!!!
@@DiffuserDudeAromatherapy why arrowhead? What value does it bring you?
@@toreynoora I LOVE AROMAHEAD! I begin my certification journey with them 2yrs ago and had a devastating circumstance whereby I was unable to continue. With their program, once your tuition is paid, you have access to their courses for life. I'm about to begin my certification again!! And I love Aromatic oils- they are by far the best I've ever used! 🤗
Great video. So you sell $3,000 in YL oils, and you get back from them $2.50. Basically, then after that, you have to keep buying at least one or two oils from them to be a member. That's ridiculous. The YL oils are too expensive, Aura Cacia are good oils and more modest for your pocket. Just because the name has to be the best? Wrong and not exactly.

Beautiful absolutely informative ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I started with DoTerra and quickly found Revive in my newsfeed. Like you I was a little put off by their MLM bashing and I was so in love with essential oils that I was very close to becoming a consultant with DoTerra. But I got curious enough to try it. I’ve since switched to revive and ditched the idea of becoming a consultant with DT. I couldn’t have someone pay that much more for the same exact product. I still order a few things from DT but will likely not renew my account.
Thanks for sharing! I’ve never tried Doterra and really probably only would for a comparison because so many request it. I’m just so out off my mlms at the moment
interesting. I tried Revive but i am drawn back to doTerra. I cant feel the same about Revive. I thought i would. I almost ditched doterra account as well this February but decided to stick around and learn more or even become the rep.
wow! I needed this perspective. I was on the same track, but I coudnt find someone near me to talk with about this. Thank you a lot for sharing this! I totally agree with your red flags, as I have the same at this moment! For addition- I am experiencing a kick off from one part of their community as i belong to "some other brand partner". So it tells me that they even fight each other !? Crazy and childish!
Thanks a lot!
I’m glad this helped! Hopefully you get it all sorted out ☺️
Thank you very much for sharing. Do you still like Rocky Mountain? I wasn't aware of YL and all their red flags. I so enjoy your videos. Thank you also for the Starbucks gift card. I have not been able to use it as of yet since I have to drive 75 miles to Fort Smith! They are far and few between here in AR! Again thanks for your transparency and sharing. 💌
thanks so much Nancy! I hope you can get to starbuck soon! I will remember that if you're a winner again I'll have to send you something else! Yes, I do still love Rocky Mountain, Plant Therapy, Simply Earth, and I'm just getting into Revive
Because it's a scam
interested to hear abt what you learnt for the aromatherapist...are you willing to do a video?
Young Living follows the French model of aromatherapy. Most others in US right now follow the English model. The English model is more cautious. In my opinion, part of the reason is because they are talking about essential oils in general, not a specific brand that they are confident of the high purity.
Yes for sure! Thanks for watching
Thank you for the information. Those are some solid reasons to quit selling. 💌
Thanks for watching!
