About 5 years ago Troy signed me up for a Young Living membership through my oily loving, pharmacist sister-in-law Kathryn. I received my starter kit for Christmas and the rest was history...Ok it wasn’t. I used them here and there but to be honest I was extremely overwhelmed so they sat on my shelf and only got occasionally used when one of us got sick. Fast forward to when I had my 3rd son Shepard. I struggled the first 15 months after he was born with postpartum anxiety. Fear gripped my life. I knew it was hormonal but I had no clue how to fix my hormones. I thought because I was nursing, I just had to endure it. Someone at work (shout out to Tamora) talked about how she was using this essential oil for hot flashes and it was a great support for her hormone imbalance. I texted my SIL right away and was like “What is this oil?” And that my friends is how I jumped full force into essential oils. 

 

Essential oils to me are a support for our family. I don’t think they are the cure for all things. Heck if you keep up with our life you see we still get sick plenty. But I sure do think they help! It helps my sore throat feel a little less horrible, Shep’s ear pains gone quicker, my teeth issues are for sure less painful, our house is just as clean if not cleaner (while smelling like yummy Christmas instead of bleach), and oh so much more for our family. 

 

Young Living has become a one stop shop for us. I order essential oils, cleaning supplies, make up, supplements, toothpaste, etc… If you sign up for Essential Rewards you can get anywhere from 10-25% back each month along with lots of fun freebies! It’s also an amazing community to be a part of. I have learned a ridiculous amount of things from these women (and men).

 

Mamas we are the gatekeepers of our homes. We are the ones who allow what does or doesn’t come in. Let’s show our kiddos how much their future means to us! This can be your first step to a healthier lifestyle. I promise to help walk you through it!
