So, I have been interested in essential oils (EOs) for quite a long time. Have I been using them this whole time? No, not one drop. I'm kind of a skeptic when it comes to these sort of things. And apparently I'm not the only one. I've been Pinterest and Facebook stalking EOs and have observing those that use them. I never really got the information I was looking for as to why I should make the jump into this wonderful oily world.
Back in March when my Man and I decided to become vegan, we started to take our health and exercise routines more seriously. That's when the thought of EOs started filling my mind. I mean, knowing about super heroes and princesses is not all that floats around in my head. And if you know me, I can be a bit obsessive in my research. I reviewed several different companies in my quest for "THE perfect oil" for my family. I did hear some testimonies from those using their oils, but I still wasn't sold. If I was going to be spending the money on these oils, I wanted to make sure that they were AWESOME, safe, and that they actually worked.
I stumbled upon Rebecca at A Beautiful Ruckus and her journey of finding out about EOs. Her journey lasted 6 months when she made her decision about EOs. It was nice to have someone do most of the leg work. But then the thing that sold me on the oils was my friend, Andrea. Now if any of you have read her blog (If you haven't you probably should. She's a pretty awesome Mama of 3, which include TWIN boys!) you know she's open and real. So when I saw her post about diving into oils, I decided to make the jump with her.
She immediately connected me with a wonderful group of women who are passionate about oils and natural health. They are known as The Lemon Droppers. When my kit came in, it felt like my birthday. I was opening up packages left and right.

As you can see Purification (click to see how it can be used) was already opened by the time I took my photo. I just couldn't wait. I cracked that puppy open as fast as I could because our trash was stanky. Yes, STANKY! I put a few drops of oil in our diffuser and let it fly. Oh my goodness! It smelled wonderful. The stank started to leave almost immediately. I let it diffuse for 2 hours and after that, the stank was gone and hasn't returned. Thank goodness because my in-laws are coming (YAY!!) next week and I DON'T want a stanky house. I also got a few extra oils for my oily stash to make all |
sorts of oily concoctions; pain cream, vapor rub, sleepy cream, lip balm, eczema cream, allergy relief. The possibilities are endless! When I saw the medicine cabinet makeover and Young Living's "Seed to Seal" process, I was sold. In the day and age of artificial this and GMO that, this process takes out the questioning of, "Does the oil I'm using have any fillers?"
You know what also sold me on Young Living? I purchased my member kit and now I get 24% off for life! All I have to do is spend $50 a year and that's it. It's totally like Costco maybe even cheaper, as you can see in my "little" Costco run. You could purchase retail, but then you wouldn't get this AWESOME kit AND the discount. AND you don't have to sell a thing!! That's pretty awesome in my opinion. So if you want to get a membership, click here for directions (a separate page will open so you can have them side by side).
I'm excited to go on this oily journey with you and my friends. Obviously I'm just starting out on the oily road, but I'm more than happy to answer and/or seek out the information you're looking for to help you make your decision about trying them out.
Be Happy. Be Healthy. Be Oily.
