Remake Your Health and Home in Three Months: The Make a Shift Kit Plan
Remake your health and home in three months
Feeling overwhelmed by all the natural living advice out there? You don’t have to overhaul your whole life at once. Make one simple shift a month, and in 90 days your home and routine will look completely different.
Or keep reading to see what’s in each kit ↓
I hear it all the time: “I want to live more low-tox, but I don’t know where to begin.” Our brains love to think in black and white. If we choose natural, we can’t use conventional, or the other way around. The truth is you can live in the real world and still keep your home and routine as clean as possible.
That’s exactly why I love Young Living’s Make a Shift kits, and why I walk my friends through them one month at a time. Each kit is built around one simple swap. Start with your home’s air, then your daily nutrition, then what’s under your kitchen sink. Small steps, real change.

The Essential Solutions Starter Kit
Why start here: oils are the easiest, most fun first step, perfect if you want your home to smell amazing without synthetic fragrance, with simple solutions on hand for sore muscles, stress and seasonal changes.
Essential oils are the aromatic essence of the plant. Our brains are wired to respond to scent, linking it to emotions and memories, which is why a few drops in a diffuser can change the whole feel of a room. This kit gives you the oils I reach for most, plus a diffuser to put them to work.
What’s inside
- Thieves, 5 mL. The oil you reach for when the school email says “we’ve had a few cases of…” and you can already picture your whole house going down like dominoes. Diffuse it and your kitchen smells like Christmas at Grandma’s, and you feel like a mom with a plan.
- Purification, 5 mL. For when you open the car door and get hit by the sippy cup of milk that rolled under the seat… three days ago. Or the teenager’s gym bag. A few drops and your home smells like you have your life together, without covering it up with fake fragrance.
- Lavender, 5 mL. For 9:47 p.m., when the kids have asked for one more glass of water, one more story and one more “wait, I just need to tell you something” for the fourth time. Diffuse it in their rooms (and yours) and let the whole house exhale.
- Peppermint, 5 mL. For 2 p.m., when you’ve read the same email four times and still have no idea what it says. One big whiff and you’re back in the game. Wonderfully cooling on tired muscles, too.
- Deep Relief Roll-On, 10 mL. For the morning after you said “sure, I’ll help you move!” or played three hours of pickleball like you were 22. Roll it on and feel that icy-cool comfort kick in.
- Stress Away Roll-On, 10 mL. For the grocery checkout line with four kids melting down over the candy, the toy and the giant balloon. Roll it on your wrists, breathe in that soft vanilla, and for three whole seconds you’re on a beach and nobody is crying.
- FreshStart Diffuser, exclusive to this kit, with three run times: 1 hour, intermittent (1 minute on, 1 minute off) and continuous.

The Daily Wellness Kit
Why month 2: once your home smells amazing, it’s time to take care of you. This is for anyone feeling the stress of life all the way to their bones, dragging on energy, or wanting a solid nutrition foundation without a complicated routine.
Maybe it’s as simple as 2 ounces of fruit puree a day. If I had to pick one product for overall daily wellness, it would be NingXia Red, a wolfberry-based drink packed with antioxidants that fits into any morning in about ten seconds. NingXia Nitro is its little sibling: a tiny packet for focus and energy you can toss in your purse or gym bag. Pass on the energy drinks and take this instead!
Why NingXia Red?
NingXia Red starts with wolfberry puree, one of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, blended with yuzu, tangerine, lemon and orange essential oils and a handful of other superfoods. Wolfberry brings 18 amino acids, 21 trace minerals, beta carotene and vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E.
Everyday life (sun, pollution, stress, even normal metabolism) creates free radicals that wear down your cells over time, and antioxidants help neutralize them. One 2 oz serving delivers the antioxidant equivalent of four pounds of carrots, two cups of blueberries, three cups of raspberries and two pounds of beets combined.
Because it’s made with whole fruit puree, NingXia Red brings natural fruit fiber and pectin along with it, and fruit polyphenols help feed the good bacteria in your gut. Better digestion was one of the first changes I noticed when I started my 2 oz every morning.
Wolfberries contain unique polysaccharides studied for their role in a healthy immune response. In a 60-day randomized trial by the Franklin Health Research Center, 160 healthy adults drinking NingXia Red showed a stronger immune response and a healthier inflammatory response.
Plus better sleep, focus and overall wellbeing. Read my full NingXia Red post →
What’s inside, everything you need for 30 days
- NingXia Red, 30 sachets. One 2 oz packet a day, straight from the pouch or poured over ice.
- NingXia Nitro, 14 ct. For focus, alertness and energy on your busiest days.
- Orange Vitality, 5 mL. For Monday mornings when the alarm goes off, it’s still dark, and you have to pack three lunches and find the other shoe. One drop in your NingXia is like a sunrise in a shot glass.
- Lime Vitality, 5 mL. For the afternoons you need a vacation but can’t leave the carpool line. Add a drop to your NingXia spritzer and you’re mentally in Cabo with a mocktail in hand, even if you’re parked behind a minivan.
The NingXia Red Spritzer
- 2–4 oz NingXia Red
- 1 can sparkling water in your favorite flavor
- ⅓–½ bottle kombucha
- Optional: 1–2 drops citrus Vitality oil
Add it all to a glass over ice, stir well and enjoy!
The Happy Healthy Home Kit
Why month 3: by now you’re hooked on the swap, and you’re ready to clear the harsh chemicals out from under the kitchen sink.
Cleaning products are one of the easiest places to start a low-tox swap, because you use them every single day. The Thieves line is plant-based and actually gets the job done, from counters and floors to laundry and dishes. And your home smells amazing instead of like a chemical cloud.
What’s inside
- Thieves essential oil blend, 15 mL. The same warm, spicy blend you loved in Month 1, in a bigger bottle for all your DIY cleaning.
- Lemon essential oil, 15 mL. For the moment you turn around and the kids have drawn a Sharpie masterpiece all over the living room wall. A few drops on a cloth, a little elbow grease, and you can breathe again. (Then add a few drops to your cleaner, and the whole house smells fresh and bright.)
- Thieves Household Cleaner, 14.4 oz. One concentrate for nearly every surface in your home.
- Thieves Laundry Soap.
- Thieves Kitchen & Bath Scrub.
- Thieves Dish Soap, 12 oz.
My tip: one capful of Thieves Household Cleaner in a spray bottle of water makes an all-purpose spray for nearly every surface in your home.
