Honest Train

Recently I've been posting about Young Living Oils, giving my "reviews", asking if people wanted to order, etc.  I want to be clear on a few things!

1: MONEY MAKER?: I AM a distributor of YL.  I signed up as one because that way I could buy a big sample pack of different oils, since I have no idea what i'm doing and needed to sample several.  i didn't want to buy a bunch of big bottles of something that i may not even like the smell of or would never use.  Since i am a distributor, i can get a discount in buying them, whether anyone buys them from me or not. I care most that me and my household gets a discount!

However,  i did not get into it to make money or to push a product on all my friendlies, i think it's just as annoying as you do.  Of course, (honest train) if people want to buy some "under me" or become a distributor and i make a buck in the mean time, than cool beans.  BUT i'd rather no one bought anything from me and bought them on their own (or not at all or from someone else) than for people to think I'm not being honest in my "reviews", or getting on your nerves about talking about them.

2: OIL EQUALITY: I have no idea if all oils (and brands) are created equal.  The main reason i chose YL is because I've read that they are the only company that makes ALL of their oils therapeutic grade, making them all safe enough to ingest.  My mom has been looking into Native American Oils, and if any of my friends are into other brands or types, i want to learn from you!  The reason i'm blogging about the oils is NOT because i am any kind of authority on oils (that's for sure), but because several people asked my my opinion on what i found, and i figured this would be an easy way to tell everyone at the same time, and i don't mind being a guinea pig.

3: WHY: I've been wanting to try oils because I've had bad headaches for years, and I am sick and tired of taking medicine, daily... yeah, daily.  That cannot be good on my system, so I'm trying oils to attempt to be more natural, especially medicinally.  In the mean time, i'm also trying to help my stupid adult acne, acid reflux, and possibly figure a way to boost my immunity.  The more i learn about oils (no brand attached, just oils in general), the more i feel as though it truly is a Biblical way of healing.  In scripture it talks about plants being for healing.  It just makes sense!

So... I wanted everyone that is interested in oils and is reading the info i find, to know that i promise to be honest, because that's WAY better than making a few dollars a month, duh.  I have been so annoyed recently at all the soap boxes that are on facebook, it totally wears on me when all i want to know is how people are doing, what they are up to, photos etc.  SO, just know that i don't want to be a part of the crazy, I am plenty opinionated but when it comes to the millions of gray areas (like what kind of essential oils you use), do what is best for you and your family.  No brainer right?

I hope that was clear enough.  I'm not a writer or blogger, if i could perform it for you in your living room, it probably would have been a little clearer.  :-)  Love you people!  Let me know if you want me to try something and give you my findings, it's fun!

First YL Order

I'm excited about getting some new oils!  I officially ran out of Lavender a couple days ago and i've been super ready to get some more in, to diffuse every night while we sleep.  I seriously think it's a little bit of a miracle worker.  At the beginning of parenthood, i had no issue with sleeping because i was so exhausted all the time, now i'm working through worrying all the time, and the Lavender has helped keep me relaxed so i can sleep soundly, guys... it's awesome.

Okay, so this is what i'm ordering:

1: Lavender (for sleeping - and still learning all the other uses)
2: Peppermint (mainly for headaches)
3: Lemon (mainly for my face, i heard you can combine coconut oil and lemon and it'll do wonders on your complexion, so i've gotta try that, and still learning all the uses for that too)
4: Clear vegetable capsules, so that i can try using Lemon orally as a reflux med substitute.

And Basil might make it on the order list, i've read it can help increase your milk supply.

Anything you guys want, i'm going to order tomorrow!?!
