OUR LIFE WITH ESSENTIAL OILS...
Essential oils are as important as sleep and structure in our busy home full of people with a wide variety of personalities, challenges, and emotional and physical health needs. We use them to help our toddler get restful sleep and ease teething discomfort. Essential oils help our middle kiddle focus on homework and chores and manage the inherent discomfort that comes with the onset of puberty. We use the oils to make healing salves for our adult son with severe eczema. And we use them to keep our mama heads from spinning, to keep our home a calm and healing space, to maintain healthy hormonal balance, and to help heal our tired bodies and spirits at the end of a long day. There are definitely days when a quick whiff of some lavender, diffusing an energetic blend of oils, or a PanAway foot massage are the only reason we keep it together around here. Parenting is hard work, y'all!
With three kids, two dogs, full-time school, and full-time work, we really don't have a lot of time to dedicate to complicated diets, relaxation and meditation, exercise that doesn't include chasing toddlers, reading every book on health and wellness, and tackling all of the projects taunting us on Pinterest. Our wellness rituals have to be quick and easy and totally accessible. Through the use of essential oils and a few easy holistic health practices, we've gone from a family dependent on pharmaceuticals and chemicals and frozen food to a family with little to no major health concerns with a relatively simple and healthy life. As a bonus, our food tastes better, our home is cleaner and non-toxic, and we all smell lovely!
Our journey with oils has included several brands of oils and products. Some good, some not so good. Some that smelled great, but didn't provide any therapeutic benefit. Some that smelled gross, but helped us immeasurably. Not all essential oils are created equally. We ultimately settled on Young Living Essential Oils because we dig their Seed to Seal Process results in some of the purest oils we can find. They also work really well for us AND most of them smell pretty great! We use these oils in creating all of our products because we take great pride in everything we create only use what we think are the best products.
Now, I know what you're thinking....and no, I'm not here to sell you anything or even preach the effectiveness of any brand of oils over another (you can read some information on what to look for in quality essential oils here if you'd like). The point of this section of my website is to share our experience with you and to share some resources on how to improve your wellness through simple holistic practices and essential oils. Don't get me wrong, I'll totally sell you some oils at full price. Or better yet, help you become a member to get a great deal on a starter kit and 24% off your oils and other Young Living products. I make a little bit of money for everyone that signs up under me...and you would make a little money from all the folk that sign up under you...and its always nice to earn a few bucks and build a community at the same time! But that's still not my point here.
So please, take a look through our site, reach out (we like new peeps), check our blog for tips and projects or whatever pours out of this brain. Our whole family is excited to share this journey with you!
