You want to use the absolute BEST, high quality essential oils for your family? You’re in the right place!

Essential Oils, What’s The Hype?!

Essential oils are quite literally, everywhere! Grocery stores, online, your holistic bestie’s purse, hospitals, in products like shampoo, lotions, skincare, you name it – you’ll probably find essential oils! This is for good reason – these little bottles of plant juice are so much more than just beautiful scents. And they’re not just for ‘hippies’ (even though I would have thrived in the 70’s, love me some bell bottoms)! When extracted as they should be, they are incredibly healing and scientifically POWERFUL!

A simple way to explain them is: When you take a plant and you extract it’s contents using either steam distillation or cold-pressing. Doing this ruptures the plant structures holding the essential oils. Those contents contain constituents that can be insanely beneficial. In fact, that’s why pharmaceutical companies synthetically create these plant compounds to go in medications. With high quality essential oils, you get these pure, untainted, natural compounds like limonene, terpenes, eugenol, etc. It’s so fascinating.

Do a quick search on pubmed.gov and you’ll come across THOUSANDS of studies showing how beneficial essential oils can be. It’s quite amazing! However, not all essential oils are created equally. There is a MASSIVE difference in what separates fragranced essential oils, from the cream of the crop aka – high quality essential oils intended for true health and wellness benefits! So we need to purchase accordingly.

One Small Shift

I can honestly say, my family’s wellness began to do a complete 180 when my mom brought high quality essential oils into our home. I remember diffusers going in every room, my mom oiling up the bottoms of my feet every morning before school, huffing my favorite relaxing oil because I was a super anxious kid. These little bottles have been engrained in my day-to-day for as long as I can remember.

It all started with one yes, one small shift. Reaching for this instead of that. That small shift, lead to other small shifts throughout our home. It created a ripple effect. Over time, that ripple grew into a tidal wave, leading to big impact. It completely shifted our lifestyle, in the best way possible.

Essential oils are by no means “cure-alls”, even though, we do have some insanely cool stories. When used consistently, they can certainly make a huge difference! I like to call them the “missing pieces” to wellness puzzles.

I whole-heartedly believe that every home can benefit from high quality essential oils, and that using them does NOT have to be complicated or overwhelming! In fact, they’re very simple to insert into your every day. Pretty soon, reaching for them first, becomes second nature.

My Story

First, how did I end up here?! Taking it wayyy back for a quick minute – When I was 9 years old, both my mom and I had horrible seasonal allergies. Sneezing, itching, coughing, runny watery eyes, you name it – every spring and summer we were just miserable. We tried every medicine under the sun, but those came with not so desired side-effects. Then we began weekly shots. Being 9 years old and having to be injected every single week was terrible, and dare I say, traumatic. My mom decided that it just was not the way that we wanted to live, and was at the point where she was willing to try anything.

My mom’s sister had been using a particular brand of essential oils for a good amount of time, seeing incredible results in so many areas. We were SO not a holistic family, in any sense of the word. And to be blunt, my aunt talking about using essential oils all of the time annoyed the heck of out my mom. But we were tired of feeling like crap, so my mom waved her white flag. My aunt gave us 3 essential oils to try (Lavender, Peppermint, and Lemon), and told us how to use them.

While we were skeptical, we were hopeful. Like I said, we were the run-to-the-doctor for EVERYTHING kind of family. Trying something unconventional was very new to us. We used the essential oils exactly how my aunt recommended for 2 weeks.

Our Results

By the end of those 2 weeks, our typical allergy symptoms had substantially subsided. No itchy noses, no watery itchy eyes, our sneezing was dramatically reduced.. We were AMAZED!! The best part was, unlike using our medications, we had ZERO side-effects from using the essential oils! My mom was able to go outside and breathe so much more clearly, and I was too! We were sold. It was then that a lightbulb turned on in my mom’s brain and she thought, “if these 3 essential oils can do this.. what else can they do?!”

That one experience began my family’s journey down a completely different wellness path. A path I’m sure my mom never envisioned, but I am forever grateful she was open-minded to. We have used these high quality essential oils in some way, shape, or form every single day since then. For everything from skin health, to emotions and mood, to sleep, to digestion, to respiratory function, to immune function, to muscle aches and pains, to stress reducers and relaxation, the list goes on and on! These little bottles have supported us in so many ways, and as a mom of two little girls myself – I am SO grateful that I have these beautiful wellness tools to now reach for, for my own family!

Our story is not anything special – in fact, I know THOUSANDS of families whose lives have been forever changed after starting to incorporate high quality essential oils into their homes and wellness routines. They all started with a simple yes, kept their minds open, their hearts hopeful, and made small shifts that led to big impact!

If you’re thinking, “Okay, I need these in my life. But, where do I even start?!” I’m here to take the hard out of it for you – and show you exactly where to began!

My mama, now nana!

These Aren’t Your Grocery Store Essential Oils..

You know that saying, “you get what you pay for”?? When it comes to essential oils – do you ever! The company my aunt turned us on to is called Young Living Essential Oils. They’ve been around for quite some time – 30 years this year to be exact! They’re world-renown in the essential oil industry, and the only essential oils that I have ever used, and will EVER use on or around my babies.

Okay, why do we love this brand so much??

Essential oils are a highly unregulated industry. So you MUST know the company behind the bottle to ensure you’re getting actual, 100% pure essential oils in each and every bottle. Most essential oils out there are fragranced, cut and mixed with other ingredients. They can legally slap a label on it and still say, “100% pure”, when they are in fact NOT! When it comes to our health – if you’re like me, this is the total OPPOSITE of what I’m seeking. Thankfully Young Living has our backs, and you TRULY get nothing but pure, potent plant juice aka – high quality essential oils!

What Sets Young Living Apart

It all started with a farmer and a dream to bring the healing power of plants to the masses.

  • I’ve been to their farms! This is UNHEARD of. Most companies purchase their essential oils and do zero of the farming, harvesting, or distilling themselves. Young Living owns and co-owns 20 farms, and their partner farms have to adhere to strict standards that set the precedence in the essential oil industry! You can go and visit these farms yourself, too! This transparency is so so HUGE. And so appreciated! I love that they are so committed to quality and never compromise on their standards. Learn more about their farms here! If you’re nearby or traveling close, I encourage you to go check it out for yourself! You will be BLOWN AWAY!

  • They run 20 tests on their essential oils, three times each! So yes, you did that math correctly – each essential oil is tested no less than 60 times! And if it doesn’t pass, it is not sold! This is part of their stringent Seed to Seal process – from the moment the seed is sourced and planted on one of their corporate, partner, or seed to seal supplier farms, to the moment the essential oil is sealed and ready to be purchased by you, their quality controls are unbelievably top tier! If I’m boring you with science jargon, you can learn all about this process here: Seed to Seal!

  • They display their test results! Again, the transparency and honesty with this company in a world filled with hidden agendas means so much! Although I just let my experiences speak for themselves, if you’d like to see the results yourself then you can access all of their essential oils test results here!

Our Favorite Ways To Use Them

We love to use these high quality essential oils in 3 ways:

  1. Aromatically – Diffuse them, make a DIY room spray, or inhaling right from the bottle!
  2. Topically – Rub them onto your skin! (Check the label for dilution instructions!)
  3. Internally – ONLY those labeled Vitality are certified GRAS (generally regarded as safe for consumption)! You can cook, bake, take them in an empty gel capsule, put them in drinks, etc! (Psst – if you have a YL lavender + a YL lavender vitality, they have different labels, but the SAME exact oil is inside.)

If you have little ones like I do, you can also use these on your babes! We have a baby and a toddler, and have used these essential oils on and around our babies since they were in the womb!

Sign up for my emails here and I’ll send you a free baby + dilution guideline!
