Yep, if you had said "essential oils" to me last year, I probably would have just brushed you off.... or laughed... you seemed like this guy in the cartoon!So rewind back to beginning of April. My buddy Laura at The Turquoise Home posted an invite to an oils party... hmmmm... I thought maybe I should go to one of these things and find out what it's all about. So I did. And boy was I intrigued...
Now, Beth at Unskinny Boppy actually did the class. When I walked in I went uh-oh... it's Mary Kay time people! I had no idea oils were a "party" thing... but I swallowed my urge to run-away from all that is a money pit, ate a few brownies, sipped on some lemonade and let her try her spiel out on me. Shoot, I'm a Marketing and Sales major... you just try to pull one over on me. Not gonna happen.
So Beth tells her "oil" story... much like I'm telling you right now. Here it is on her site. Basically how her husband has these AWFUL migraines and how rubbing some oil on her hubby's back and giving him a little pill capsule with three oils in it completely changed his life. I thought, man she's good... tears of joy spilled down her face as she shared her story. Husband's story. Their story. Whatever. So then I thought... my best friend's 10 year old son has daily migraines. Okay, maybe every two days but BAD. With nosebleeds. And nothing helps. He's on preventative meds and nope... doesn't do anything. I thought well shoot, I have got to get him that oil. (It's called M-Grain and here's some info about it. Including the EEEK! Price!!!)
Ok, so fast forward through the rest of the class and, well… it just seemed like there was an oil for everything! So I quickly text my hubby and asked if he minded if I bought a starter kit. His response? What's the commitment? So I asked… how about "signing up" was as simple as walking into Sams or Costco and signing up? How about you only have to order $50 a year to keep your "membership"? And if you tell me you're not sure you can spend that, trust me…. you will and then some.
It worked. Two smells on two different occasions and he hasn't had a migraine since April.
I got my kit and started playing around with stuff. I realized quickly that I needed sample bottles like the ones found on this site. Ordered little bottles, perfume vials, and roll-ons. My friends and I made bath salts, we made allergy trio roll-ons, stress away roll-ons… and played with the kick butt awesome diffuser.
So while playing guinea pig to all that is essential oils... we discovered the awesomeness behind this oil called Valor… it STOPS snoring. Makes you stay asleep. Nooooo, can't happen, right? Read on... You put it on the bottom of your big toe. Yep. I said big toe. If you're laughing, well, you're not alone. Rick and Bubba laughed too. I'll tell you who's not laughing though.... my husband, my pastor, my mom, my friend's husband... and yep, that same "migraine" boy. Here's some of their descriptions of rolling Valor on both big toes:
"I tried it, and it brought me back to the drunken college days where you came home and passed out on the bed, waking up exactly how you fell. I woke up on my belly with my arms under me, totally asleep. I couldn't move." (Hubby)"I slept. Oh did I sleep. I don't remember falling asleep, so glad my Kindle has an auto shut-off." (Mom)
"My husband was snoring REALLY loud... I had to leave for work but figured I would try it. He stopped snoring within 30 minutes." (Friend from church)
"I tried it two nights in a row... It was like I drank an ENTIRE bottle of Nyquil. What is in that stuff?" (Pastor)
Ok, so I have to be honest. It did nothing for me. But then I'm the biggest skeptic in the world. Maybe it's because I'm pregnant, maybe I didn't put enough on my toe... I don't know. BUT, this oil has made a difference in lives of other people. How cool is that? How feel good is that?
Last but not least, the allergy trio... You can put it in a roll-on, take it in a capsule, drop some drops in your diffuser. This blend is gold... my 4 year old is addicted. Migraine boy? Won't go to sleep without it. His mom thinks the migraines were somehow connected with his allergies, because he only used the M-Grain twice and this bad boy trio is on him every NIGHT and every DAY.So my oil story doesn't have a Kristen "aha" moment... it has a TON of miracle "ahas" for the people I've shared with. And now I'm sharing with you. This stuff is cool. There's something to it. And I will tell the world...

Basically, you need your name and billing/shipping info, and SS# (I know, don't freak out....). You can choose an essential rewards kit or click no thanks (that's what I did). I chose the premium starter kit because it was the coolest and gave me the best bang for my bucks.
