Winter

Welcome to my site! I am so happy you stopped by! Let me share a little bit more about me. I am a wife, mom, grandma, nurse, teacher, student, Jesus follower, creative, frugal kind of gal. I love to spend time with my family and I love to make things stretch! One of my favorite things about Young Living is that their products are so concentrated a little goes a long way! 

I started my Young Living Journey over 10 years ago. I used to be a huge candle junkie, always had them burning, and we used lots of air fresheners. At the time we had 3 boys living at home, 2 with year round athletics. Hello Boy Moms, you know what I mean! I have no experience with female athletes, so I can't speak to them, but anyone with active boys you know there is the not so pleasant aroma de teen that seems to follow them.  I started paying more attention to what I was using in the house and while I had been DIYing lots of my own cleaners and laundry detergent, I was still learning about other things I could do to positively impact our health. 

 Enter  Young Living. At the time all I wanted was the Thieves Household Cleaner. I wasn't happy with what I was using and I was really serious about getting as many chemicals as possible out of our home. The funny thing was, I was limiting my thoughts to swapping out cleaners and really not much else. Thieves Household Cleaner would basically take over the job of most of the cleaning products I was using at the time.  When I became a Young Living Member in order to get the super savings of the Thieves Loyalty Bundle you had to first purchase a Premium Starter Kit and then you could add a Loyalty Bundle to your order.  Now me being as frugal as I am I saw this as a huge perk. The Loyalty program offered a way to budget out my families needs monthly as well as earn some free products of my choice, and I knew I was going to be ordering the cleaner every month so I went for it. Now at the time I really wasn't into the oils, well, I was interested in the Thieves oil, but really nothing else, the diffuser kind of interested me, but at the time I wasn't looking at the whole picture, just replacing the products I was using to clean our home.  

My kit arrived and I was super excited about the Thieves Household Cleaner! It was going to work for everything I wanted, then I realized, the Thieves Household Cleaner was way more concentrated than I thought, and lasted a lot longer than I had anticipated. I also started doing more research about ways to naturally support my family's  health and soon realized that we needed to get rid of the air freshers, and candles, and I also started looking into personal care products, I became a label reader and I was shocked and concerned by what I was reading that was on the labels of many products that we had in our home.  Slowly I started getting rid of things, swapping products with Young Living Products. Several things I even got to try for free as they were promo items that came with my monthly Loyalty order. I fell in love with diffusing and all of the different oil combinations I could make, I loved the way they made the house smell.  That first winter, my super active sports loving, not so good at taking care of themselves, burn the candle at both ends boys did not miss any school. Which was amazing as the previous years one if not both of my football boys missed a week or so of school due to not feeling well. 

Young Living had changed my life in ways I would have never imagined.  I would love to share more about all the things Young Living can do for you!  Welcome to my Healthy Oily Life!
