FOUNDER’S MESSAGE WE ARE A company that cares, and we share from the heart. Our world-class products create an exceptional culture that is about uplifting others and helping them achieve their dreams. We are dedicated to the success of all as we help the individual. Wherever we go and whatever we do, we will constantly meet people who need help with something. Finances, health, and relationships are constantly under strain and are a main concern for so many individuals. Many people feel underappreciated and overstressed—and those are the lucky ones with homes, food, and jobs. Young Living provides an opportunity for anyone searching for a better way, a way to live your dreams, personally and professionally.
"We are a company always looking for ways to help and do good things in the world wherever we can." How can we help the less fortunate, those who live in impoverished areas of the world and have no ability to change their environment? What about people who are the victims of Mother Nature? When I heard about the earthquake that shook Nepal in April, my heart went out to those people whose lives are now in chaos and who tragically lost family members and friends.

Building Your Business
WITH THE POWER OF DUPLICATION Diamond and Platinum power couple Rob and Alina Rinato are achieving huge success and reaching their dreams through the unique opportunity Young Living provides. A crucial key to their ever-growing business? The power of duplication. Here, Rob and Alina give their own insights on putting this powerful concept to work for your Young Living business. 2. FOLLOW UP: Studies have shown that most
people require 5–12 exposures to a product and/or business before they make a buying decision. So a systematic approach is key. We offer regular meetings and use an auto-response email campaign through Marketing Scents to keep in touch with prospects.

THE WEATHER IS warm, the days are long, and it’s time to go outside and get some vitamin D! The early mornings and cool evenings are a perfect time to shed pounds and stress and to reach the healthy peaks you’ve set your sights on. One of the best ways to get motivated to get healthy is to enter races; start with a 5K run or walk and work your way up. Soon you’ll be setting personal records in half and full marathons! Here are our best running tips that can help get you to the front of the pack at the next 5K:

the gym for light weight training or jump in a pool and do some water running. Run with a buddy. Running with friends is more fun and it keeps you accountable to your goals, which is a major key to achieving them. Try to run early in the day so life doesn’t get in the way. Pace yourself. This is important in two ways: first, you don’t have to be a track star from the get-go. Start with short distances; for some, this may mean you start by walking or jogging around your neighbourhood. Second, it’s okay to speed-walk to warm up. Once you’re warm, mix up the pace and have some fun. Consider doing some hills to add in an extra challenge.

FAB FEET Step 1 Exfoliate
Take your time, get set and go!
Help to relax your feet after running, and get them smooth and summer-ready, with these three simple steps. A sugar scrub will gently slough off old skin cells to reveal your soft and smooth feet. This DIY essential oil-infused scrub smells great and will transform your feet.
SUGAR SCRUB INGREDIENTS ¼ cup + 2 tbsp V6 Vegetable Oil Complex 5 drops Bergamot 3 drops Lavender 2 drops Sandalwood 2 drops Wintergreen ¾ cup raw sugar
INSTRUCTIONS In a small bowl, mix V-6 oil with essential oils. Add mixture to raw sugar in a larger bowl and combine thoroughly. Store in an airtight jar. When applying in the bath, you may want to use a pumice stone to speed up the exfoliation process; however, avoid scrubbing any calluses raw or removing them altogether. Remember, they are there to protect your feet. Simply buff them smooth and avoid any cuts or lacerations that could invite infection.
H I N T : Use about a tablespoon for each foot. Be careful: The scrub can make your shower slippery!
Step 2 Cuticle Care
After a shower or bath, gently push your cuticles back in preparation for a DIY cuticle treatment. You can use a pedicure tool or a towel.
INGREDIENTS 15-ml V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex 20 drops Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia)
INSTRUCTIONS Fill an empty 15-ml bottle about halfway with V-6. Add 20 drops of Tea Tree oil, and then continue to add more V-6 until the bottle is full. To use, add 1 drop to your cuticles and rub in until absorbed.
H I N T : Use an AromaGlide Roller Fitment on the
top of your bottle to make application of this treatment quick and easy.

SEED TO SEAL ® UPDATE ST. MARIES Weather conditions have varied from snow, rain, to extreme dry this spring; but recent rains have been a welcome relief. The crew has been working hard on preparing fields for planting 300,000 melissa and 150,000 lavender plants. NORTHERN LIGHTS: Summer has come to British Columbia, and the farm is harvesting wild ledum to distill for the first time. The oil from this botanical will be put through vigorous tests and quality control measures to determine its quality and if it will hold a place in the YLEO inventory some day. HIGHLAND FLATS: Members from around the world recently participated in the Spring Planting event. It was a huge success, with more than 80,000 trees being planted this year, totaling more than 150,000 trees over the last two years. ECUADOR: The ylang ylang and dorado azul harvests continue. The farm is also producing Palo Santo essential oil. Weed control and fertilizer operations continue in the dorado azul, lemongrass, and mastrante fields. More than 168 goats on the farm produce cream and milk, which is used in the farm’s restaurant. MONA: Due to increased demand, the farm is in the process of expanding the goldenrod fields. Construction on a new Friesian barn and an arena for draft show competitions has begun. Juniper essential oil production continues.
