Before you enter any Young Living competitions read this!

Options
I've noticed a lot of competitions where the prize is Young Living. Please research the founder Gary Young, he has done some awful things and I really encourage you not to support him. I don't want to say here what he did because they are so horrendous but perhaps google the words "Gary Young Baby" and you will find all you need to know about him.
Obviously you are welcome to make your own decisions if you wish to enter, but I thought I would give people the opportunity to make an informed decision. I myself will not be participating in any Young Living competitions.

    It does appear he died in 2018 so guessing whatever the company gains it goes to his kids? Or who ever owns it now. I googled it but it seems to skim over what he did. :/

    Not to mention that Young Living is an MLM, which put me off straight away.

    His wife, Mary, took over as CEO of the company in 2015 and still is.

    Yes. That too! In general a terrible company ethically!

    Cannot see he was convicted of anything but I wouldn't touch anything to do with MLM anyway.
