What's brought us to this point? Blogging about oils? Well, it's simple. We love them & know that once you learn about them you'll love them too.

Here's a pic of me and my family from this past Easter, so you can put a face with a name. :) |
So, who am i? I am a stay at home mom of three boys. I'm married to a super smart & wonderful CPA. I'm a creative person that is always looking for something new to do. I can't sit still too long without going crazy--unless i have a margarita in my hand, then there'll be sitting & laughing until the cup's runneth dry.
Now that we know each other a little bit, why did i get into oils? It started with my friend Jen (co-blogger on EO), got into it & couldn't contain her excitement & gave me some samples to try. I started using the samples...on me, in my water, rubbed a little on my boys--and you know what? I started loving them too!
I got excited to wake up every morning & try the 3 little oils she gave me in different ways. Lavender was by far my favorite (she gave me lemon & peppermint too). I've used lavender to soothe burns on my hands from cooking, induced sleep (swiping on my feet), to make homemade deodorant & in my DIY face cream! I love the smell of it & the effects of it!

I present, the premium starter kit! |
I was sold. The next thing i wanted to do was to figure out the cheapest way to really get into the oils, because i'm cheap. Jen kept mentioning the Premium Starter Kit. I was like, no thanks that's $150, I don't' want to spend that much. Then i started researching all the things i wanted for sure: a diffuser, Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint--those 4 things alone are $172.69 retail! So when i looked at the kit & realized that i got 8 MORE OILS to play with & a wholesale membership (so i could get wholesale prices whenever i wanted)-- i wanted the kit. It was stupid not to get it, seriously it is. Moving on!

My fave (right now)! |
Once i started learning all the things the oils can do for me, I turned to my oldest son, he's about to turn 10 in a couple weeks. He'd been labeled "developmentally delayed" until last year, we had some genetic testing done & learned he has Klinefelter's syndrome. It's where you have an extra X chromosome --so he has 2 X's & 1 Y. That's caused most of his delays in speech, maturity & other things. He isn't autistic, but has a lot of autistic characteristics, but not enough to make the 'label cut-off' for lack of a better term. Anyways, i'd heard that YLEO's were helping kids with autism, ADD, ADHD & lot's of emotional and behavioral problems! So then i really, got invested & started researching Young Living Essential Oils! I'm going to do a separate post on Aiden, because this one is already getting longer than i intended & i need to go cook dinner. You can expect it to be posted in about a week or two!
I'll go ahead and give you a snippet that i'm pretty sure Valor & Cedarwood are changing his general attitude & overall happiness at home & school, but like i said--he'll get his own post--soon, very soon! ;)
For now, i hope you all will give oils a chance if you're thinking about it!
You won't regret it. I bet you'll love them & then you'll be sharing them with your friends & family before you know it!
If you have questions or want to learn how to get your own premium starter kit , please, send me an email!
Talk soon!

Beautiful family!
