I first started hearing about Young Living essential oils from a friend at church. She told me that they were using it successfully with their family, and I was especially curious to hear that they were using it on their young children to help fevers, colds, earaches, and other troublesome illnesses that children get. Then I joined a homeschool co-op and heard other mothers talking about wonderful the oils were. One mother (not connected with Young Living in any way) told me that her son was scraped up really bad in an accident, and that someone gave her lavender essential oil to use on his scrapes. She was amazed over how well it healed his scrapes, and she said it hardly left a scar!
After hearing those testimonials I paid more attention to things I kept reading online about how fantastic the oils work. I have decided to take the plunge and learn more about the oils, and share them with you how they are working for our family. I recently mentioned on my Facebook page that our youngest had a high fever, and quite a few people mentioned that they always use Young Living essential oils to bring the fevers down. I’m excited to use the oils on my children and to also be a supplier for them.
An online friend has put together a fantastic way to slowly start using the oils! I’m going to join her challenge and I’d love to have you be part of it also.
How would you like to try an essential oil each month this year?

Love that you are doing this! Our women’s group did a class in Dec. and I was thinking of trying some, but the cost and information seemed overwhelming. This I can do!
Kelly,
I understand about being overwhelmed! That is what kept me from joining and trying the oils for quite awhile as well. But I had the same thought, I can purchase one oil a month and learn how to use it extensively, sounds like a great plan to me! The person in charge of the private facebook group has been using essential oils for 12 years, so she really knows her stuff!
I have always wanted to learn more about essential oils but haven’t had the opportunity to take a class outside of the house to do so. This sounds great! Might you be able to tell be the approximate shipping time so I can plan and budget accordingly? I’m on the east coast. Thanks!
Trina,
It normally takes a week for shipping with Fed Ex. Thank you!
I’m thinking that if I do this, I’ll order a couple months’ oils at once, to save on shipping!
I think that’s an excellent idea!
We’ve also just recently been introduced to YL oils, and LOVE them! They are so helpful! I’m not on FB, but I’m sure the rest of you will have a wonderful time exploring and using these oils!
Many blessings for your new year!
I have a few oil based products that I already swear by – but am always interested in expanding my knowledge on natural products. I would love to read your reviews & hear about your results! Will you be blogging throughout the year or are you reserving that information for your group? I have tried numerous brands and my favorite product is a blend of argan oil & essential oils called “Defend.” I also use an oil based scrub called “Glow” (both from purelementnaturals.com). Facial oils are amazing; I would never go back to using a cream!
The oil based scrub sounds amazing!! Yes, I will be sharing with the group my results and how the oils are helping our family.
Oops, I meant to say I will be sharing the info on my blog.
Wow! This sounds great! I’ve been interested in essential oils for years! I’ll think about it- it’s an expensive project!!!! I’m excited about the opportunities with a new busines for you, too!
I’m SO excited to learn more about the oils and how to take care of my family, and share the experience with all my followers as well! It is an expensive investment, but I like that doing the 12 month journey slowly builds up your oil supply rather then all at once.
I can’t wait to join the group though I’ll be buying from my local natural food store (love to support local small business). When will you be adding those who messaged you? I used the “email me here” link on saturday. I’m hoping it went through since I didn’t get verification or an invite. I’m really excited about this.
Too bad you have to use YL brand to be part of the group. We are new to EO’s as well and could benefit from a group like this. Not that I’m against YL at all
But we have most of the listed oils already from another reputable brand and it seems silly to buy what you already have just to be part of a group. I’ll be looking forward to your posts on EO’s!
I love your idea of sharing an oil each month. Young Living Essential Oils have literally changed my life and the way I feel. Keep up your wonderful work in sharing such an amazing product. Blessings.
