Meet the Dillow's

 
Introducing Tina - The Homeschool Mom, and Marvin - The Truck Driver: Young Living's Transformational Journey

Meet Tina and Marvin, an extraordinary couple who have truly embraced the Young Living lifestyle to turn their lives around and create a healthier and happier home for themselves and their loved ones. As devoted parents of two beautiful daughters and proud grandparents, they are a shining example of how Young Living can transform lives in the most unexpected ways.

Tina, a passionate homeschool mom, has always been dedicated to providing the best education and environment for her children. However, she found herself struggling with low energy levels and occasional stress, which affected her ability to fully immerse herself in teaching and nurturing her family. That's when Young Living entered their lives like a breath of fresh air.

Marvin, a hardworking truck driver, spends long hours on the road, facing the challenges of a demanding schedule and often exposing himself to environmental stressors. This lifestyle took a toll on his overall well-being, leaving him feeling exhausted and unable to fully enjoy quality time with his family. It was during a life-changing mission trip that their story took an unexpected turn.

Through the encouragement of friends, Tina and Marvin experienced the power of Young Living's essential oils and wellness products firsthand. Introduced to the incredible benefits of these natural treasures, they discovered a new world of possibilities to support their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

Inspired by the newfound vitality, Tina and Marvin decided to make a lifestyle shift and fully embrace Young Living's holistic approach. They transformed their home into an oasis of well-being, incorporating essential oils into their daily routines, homeschooling curriculum, and family activities. Each day became an opportunity to nurture themselves and their loved ones, helping them thrive in every aspect of life.

With Tina's unwavering commitment to her children's education and Marvin's dedication to providing for his family, they have successfully integrated Young Living's products into their lives. Today, they continue to create a nurturing environment where well-being and education are encouraged.

Tina and Marvin's journey with Young Living is a testament to how a simple introduction can lead to profound transformations. Whether you are a homeschool mom, a busy professional, or simply seeking a healthier way of living, Young Living offers a gateway towards a more fulfilling and empowered life.

Join Tina, Marvin, and countless others who have experienced the extraordinary benefits of Young Living. Together, let's create a ripple effect of positive change for ourselves, our families, and our communities.

Rainy-day survival guide: Fun-filled activities for kids


Rainy-day survival guide: Fun-filled activities for kids

How many times have you heard “I’m boooooored.” 

We know the struggle of coming up with ideas on the spot, so we’ve got you covered with crafts, snacks, and coloring pages for children of all ages. The next time you’re stuck inside, use this list of rainy-day activities to keep your little ones engaged and entertained.
But don’t let the title fool you—these activities aren’t just for wet weather. They’re also great for other occasions, like keeping the kids busy while you are watching one of our upcoming classes. 

Activities for young children:

Looking for something fun and educational for your preschool-aged child to enjoy? Try these aromatherapy sensory bins and simple coloring pages.

Sky bin

Materials:
  • Plastic bin
  • 4 cups rice
  • Natural blue food coloring (adjust amount to your desired color)
  • 4 drops KidScents® KidPower™ essential oil blend
  • 10 cotton balls
  • Toy airplanes
  • Large spoon or scoop
  • Wide-neck bottle/container


Directions:
Place rice, food coloring, and KidPower into a bowl with a lid. After securing the lid, shake until the color is incorporated. You can get your kids in on the fun too by taking turns shaking the bowl. Spread rice onto a lined sheet pan and let it sit until dry. Once the rice is dry, pour it into your plastic bin. Top with cotton balls (to mimic clouds), toy airplanes, a scooping tool, and a container.
This sensory bin allows your children to reap the benefits of aromatherapy while enjoying the fun of playing with interesting textures and techniques.

Cookie dough bin

Materials:
  • Plastic bin
  • Moon sand base
  • 4–6 drops Vanilla oleoresin (if you don’t have Vanilla, try using KidScents® SniffleEase™ for a different aromatherapy experience)
  • Natural sprinkles
  • Silicone muffin cups
  • Cookie dough scoop
  • Plastic cookie cutters
  • Measuring spoon

Directions:

Start by making our DIY moon sand base. Add essential oils and mix until well combined. Pour the mixture into your plastic bin, then scatter sprinkles over the top. Complete your creation by placing muffin cups, dough scoop, cookie cutters, and measuring spoons in the bin.
Watch as your kids explore the fun surfaces, shapes, and smells while also exercising their motor skills. They’ll have a grand time mashing the moon sand into the cookie molds as well as scooping the mixture into the muffin cups.

Activities for older children:

If your children are past the stage of sensory play and scribbled drawings, engage them with these ideas for hours of screen-free fun.

Advanced coloring pages

These coloring pages are perfect for aspiring artists ages seven and up. You may even want to print one out for yourself—coloring can be a calming distraction after a stressful day.

Beauty from the inside out: The benefits of Inner Beauty Collagen

Beauty from the inside out: The benefits of Inner Beauty Collagen










Beauty from the inside out: The benefits of Inner Beauty Collagen



They say it’s the beauty on the inside that counts, but what if you could bring out your inner glow with a simple glass of water? Young Living’s new Inner Beauty Collagen maximizes the appearance of youthful-looking skin by delivering high-quality collagen to the body. A simple powder you can mix into your glass of water, this new skin care staple goes down easy! Show off that youthful glow everywhere you go with Inner Beauty Collagen.


What makes Inner Beauty Collagen different?

Like all Young Living products, we source only the highest-quality ingredients to ensure a clean and natural experience for both you and Mother Earth.

Young Living’s Inner Beauty Collagen contains five grams of premium marine collagen per serving. By utilizing collagen, ceramides, biotin, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, this natural formula enhances beauty without compromising your standards.

Inner Beauty Collagen is made up of type 1 marine collagen, a highly soluble form of bioavailable type 1 collagen sourced from sustainable fish scales and skin. There are no harsh chemicals or solvents used in the sourcing of our collagen, and we make sure to use traceable fish products that would have otherwise been discarded. The end result is an odorless, tasteless collagen that easily dissolves in water.

In addition to type 1 marine collagen, we also use peach ceramide to provide hydration to the skin and decrease dryness. Our peach ceramide is naturally derived from Japanese peaches to help promote smooth and radiant skin.

What else can you find in Inner Beauty Collagen? We’ve squeezed in some tapioca fiber to support healthy skin by balancing the gut microbiome, a little superoxide dismutase (SOD) for antioxidant enzymes, and hyaluronic acid to support skin hydration and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. To top it all off, there’s also a dash of Vanilla planifolia oil included. In the end, you have a gluten-free, non-GMO, keto-friendly formula that contains no sugars, artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.

Marine collagen benefits 

So what is marine collagen, and why did we choose fish rather than other sources? Marine collagen is a type 1 collagen that is sourced sustainably and without a negative impact on the environment.
Type 1 collagen is the most common type of collagen found in the human body and plays an important role in bone, skin, and connective tissue. Collagen is naturally produced by the human body, except this ability starts to decrease around the age of 30, which is why collagen supplementation has become such a fan favorite for skin care enthusiasts!

Marine collagen also:
  • Has a better amino acid profile than other types of collagen
  • Is absorbed better by the body
  • Is easier to digest
  • Has a high concentration of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline, which are the primary agents responsible for stimulating cell regeneration in the skin, hair, and nails

Benefits of Inner Beauty Collagen 

With the highest-quality skin-loving ingredients out there, Inner Beauty Collagen will have you glowing from the inside out in no time—as little as three weeks, actually! You’ll discover additional benefits, such as:
  • Maintaining optimal hydration levels in the cells to reduce the appearance of fine lines and deep wrinkles
  • Providing hydration to the skin to reduce dryness
  • Improved smoothness and elasticity
  • Support for healthy skin by balancing the gut microbiome
  • Vitamin C and zinc, which support collagen synthesis for glowing skin

How to use Inner Beauty Collagen 

Inner Beauty Collagen is odorless and flavorless, so you can simply mix it into any beverage of your choice. Add one scoop of Inner Beauty Collagen to 4–8 ounces of liquid and repeat daily. Pair it with your morning tea, your afternoon NingXia Red®, or as part of your post-workout smoothie. Either way, your inner glow will be ready to shine!
