Essential Oils

Essential Oils.

 

They've been a game changer and a huge life blessing in our household. Which is slightly funny as our beginning with them was really just a result of me having some extra cash that felt like it was burning a hole in my pocket.

 

I had to spend it. I just had to.

 

A Premium Starter Kit, $170ish dollars & two weeks later this box arrived on our steps. "Young Living" it read on the side. I'll be honest and say that I left it sit on my counter for 24 hours before I actually opened it. You see, I'd ran into one of our Chaplin at work (when I worked Cardiac/Medical/Oncology at the hospital) and she was chatting essential oils. I'd heard of them, yes but was a skeptic through and through...not that being skeptical was a new trait for me. Ha! She chatted them up a bit to me, planted a little seed and I spent a while researching thereafter. I have a cousin in another big name oil company and naturally figured supporting her would be the right thing to do. But when I started researching I stumbled upon Seed to Seal (learn more here) and knew that I had to have the best of the best.

 

Enter that box on our steps.

 

I opened it with a throbbing in my head (migraine survivor here!) as I was quite used to. I'd read that Peppermint could be beneficial. Opened the bottle, took a deep breath in & nearly burned my nose hairs off (that sounds so nasty!). What the hell were people thinking using these potent bottles of minty overload?!

 

No fear.

 

I wasn't giving up yet. I put my finger over the opening, tipped the bottle a bit and ran my finger down each of my temples. I set out unpacking the box & reading some of the material included. It was some 10 minutes later when I looked up, wide eyed & said to my husband "Holy shit. My head!" 10 minutes of minty goodness and I felt like a brand new woman. Not a complaint in the world.

 

It was then that I knew these bottles would do serious things in our lives.

 

Since then our oil usage has grown. Our team of oily friends has grown. Our income has grown. Our health is better. Our sleep is better. Our moods are better. Overall, we are better.

 

If you don't already use oils, but would like to learn more head (here).

 

Also, come join us over at my oils instagram @gettinoilywithit where I have covered our favorite ways to use each of the oils in the starter kit, and plan to share all of our favorite diffuser blends, what I use on the girls, recipes for lip scrubs, sugar scrubs, rollerball recipes & so many other amazing things that you didn’t even know you could make!!!
