Young Living Essential Oils

From eye rolls to hand claps.

Why I started using essential oils for my family.

I have heard it all from, “Now you are into voo doo medicine, you are jumping on the band wagon, here she goes again on another Mommy fad, I can’t believe you are using that”. 

I must admit that I too was skeptical at first to dive into something that everyone else is doing. I have never been a follower and I wasn’t about to start now. So when anyone brought up essential oils or when I would visit a blog and see another advertisement for them, I would roll my eyes.

When a friend invited me to a class for Young Living essential oils I went, more for the coffee then the oils. I left moved by the woman who was sharing, her story, her journey not only of the oils but of her life. How she was using the oils and how they are adding to the quality of her family’s life intrigued me.

And that began my research into Young Living Essential oils. I researched articles, read a book, talked with doctor and nurses, and then read some more. I decided to order a starter kit and give the oils a try!

I went from eye rolls to hand claps and my journey has just begun! Read my full story {here}. Join me on the adventure of learning more about these oils, why and how they work, be on the look out for how I use them, and the stories I tell about my family and friends! 


Perhaps you are already a fan with your own stories, maybe you are rolling your eyes, or maybe you are wondering what this is all about then this journey is for you! Let’s grow together!


What separates Young Living from all the other guys?
Check out the seed to seal promise. This is the process that sets Young Living apart.

After all my research here are some reasons why I chose Young Living:


Young Living owns and operates their own farms. They cultivate, treat, weed, and test their own oils. They do not add chemicals to make the plant produce more. 


All of the production and oil making goes through Young Living-it’s a one company operation. 


The oils are a bit more expensive than the others out there because they are so pure. Young Living recognizes that and offers a wholesale membership that saves you money! Whoo Hoo! 











































How I have used my oils so far: 
Peppermint, Lavender, and Lemon- has been my go to trio to help alleviate my sinus pressure, congestion, and headaches.
Citrus Fresh- is my favorite in the diffuser. I also used some to help with some bloating. 
Thieves- has been great for creating my all natural house cleaners. It also took away some sore throats in our house.
Melaleuca- keeps lice away! Every year we get a letter sent home from school about lice. This year we are warding it away!
Panaway-has been great to rub on after a great workout!
Joy-is in the diffuser for when the kids get off the bus and the craziness begins!


I am so excited for the ready made kids line! 

There are several different options to choose from when ordering a starter kit! I highly recommend starting out with the Premium Starter kit because it gives you the most value for your money! When your order the Premium starter kit you will receive some great freebies! My go to reference guide book has been so valuable as I learn how to use the oils, and the bottle labels are a great way to keep track of each oil!
