You know the kind of events I mean. The kind where your nearest and dearest invite you into their home for food, wine, and conversation. And shopping. Lots of people love this concept, because, well -food, wine, friends, and shopping. I’m an introvert who hates shopping. Sooo, there is that. 

So anyway, that’s how I normally would have approached my friend Liz’s gathering. Except I went with an open mind, and a problem to solve. 

Our precious daughter, then 7, would not sleep. And, my darling grandfather who lived with us at the time, was suuuuper grumpy. All. The. Time. 

I wanted to see if there was anything in Liz’s oil collection that would give me sleep and peace. 

Being the bargain shopper that I am, I quickly realized that it made the most sense for me to get the whole kit of oils, which included some of the ones Liz recommended for my problems, plus 9 other oils, and a diffuser. 

I left optimistic that I would be able to help my daughter (and myself) sleep better, and help my grandpop chill out a bit. 

I didn’t realize that I’d use all of the oils, all of the time. 

I diffuse them in the diffuser. I mix up blends for all kinds of things, and I use some every day – like lemon. That sh*t works for everything. Stickiness – lemon. Immunity – lemon. Yummy water- lemon. Air freshener – lemon. Reminder of warmer days in winter – lemon. You get the idea. 

I also learned a lot about essential oils, and I am still learning. 

I’m not going to tell you we’ve gotten rid of all the toxic stuff in our house, because we sure haven’t. 

I’m not going to tell you to stop taking traditional medicine, cause I just the other day popped a Tylenol sinus. 

But I am going to tell you to give something new a try! 

I am going to tell you, though, to click this little link – which will take you to the site to order your very own starter kit – not only will you be throwing me a bone, but you’ll also be on your way to learning about how awesome essential oils can be! 

What things have you tried hesitantly that ended up being a great decision for you and your family?
