After YEARS using Young Living products I feel as if they can truly transform your personal care routine as well as replace an incredibly long list of household toxins. I use essential oils many times throughout the day, in many ways, a few of which I will bullet point here.

How did I learn about essential oils and what do I use them for?

For me, it was a very natural progression. When Taylor and I lived in Iowa we decided to take a serious interest in creating a "non toxic" household for ourselves and our future family. I took a serious interest in educating myself on what chemicals were in our everyday products and what those chemicals were doing to our bodies. Chemicals are in EVERYTHING. Shampoo, household cleaners, candles, deodorant, laundry detergent, etc. The research was honestly horrifying, and we quickly switched to non toxic products. From then (2009) on, our family has tried MANY different brands and products to fill our "non toxic" household needs. It has certainly been a trial and error situation (ask me later about the 30 different deodorants I've dabbled in.) However, changing out our modern day - chemical filled - cancer causing - scent filled products changed my life. I didn't have some of the allergy and skin issues I had experienced for years, and I no longer got headaches, I was hooked.

Along the winding path of organic and natural products I kept running into essential oils. Oils? For what? Why are there so many? I bought a few oils from Whole Foods and began diffusing, A candle replacement! Yay! Diffusing was fun! It made my house smell incredible, and thats when the oil obsession started.

Over time I began using oils for MUCH MORE. Skin care, during pregnancy, for pain, for attitude adjustments, for cleaning products, for infusing water, during yoga, and using in other food recipes. Essential oils became a staple in a variety of ways in my everyday life. Looking back now I laugh, a candle replacement, hah!

I officially got started with Young Living because of the Thieves Essential Oil, and Thieves line of cleaning products specifically. I had been using other brands of essential oils for years and was given samples of Thieves cleaner, AMAZING. I loved the Thieves oil blend so much. I signed up with Young Living and quickly expanded my favorites list to include their makeup. other cleaning products, diffusers, lotions, shampoo, hand soaps, and pretty much everything else I have tried.
