Essential Oil Starter Kits - $20 Off UNTIL 6/30!!

For those who haven't heard about my new love affair with essential oils, click here.

For a limited time (like the next few days…), those who want to order a starter kit through me will receive $20 cash back.  How cool is that?

I mean, for all you get in it… it's definitely worth it.  I tried to price out making a mini kit of starter oils for a friend, and just my cost alone was around $40… and that was just me doing about 10-15 drops of each oil!!!  AND NO DIFFUSER!  The diffuser is really the most awesome part of the bunch….

Each oil is 5ml, which is about 85-100 drops of oil, then you get this cool metal roller to attach to one of your bottles, some oil samples, samples of this yummy drink called Ningxia Red that does all sorts of crazy wonderful anti-oxidanty things, and the diffuser.  Did I mention the diffuser?  It's super cool.

You talk about how a man can clear a room with his um, er…. tummy trouble?  Yep, this will take care of it.  And not like some Lysol flowery cover-up.  Nope.  I'm talking an actual kill-that-stank-smell kinda awesome.

So THIS LINKwill take you to sign-up and purchase your starter kit.  "Signing Up" means you have the ability to order at our lovely wholesale prices.  It does not mean you have to start giving parties or "sharing" with friends.  That's just how you get your lovely starter kit.  Yes, you need your SS#, because IF you decide to do the aforementioned, you need that for tax purposes.

Trust me.  It's cool.  Drink the kook-aid like I did.  It's sooooo worth it.  Unless you made a kick butt pain cream last night and put it on your horribly ouchy legs and it completely knocked you out more than any Lortab, Percoset or Hydrocodone ever did, including the next day hungover headache… LOL… I'll just make a slightly less potent batch, HA!

Again, click on THIS LINK to sign-up and purchase your starter kit. You won't be disappointed. I promise.  Girl Scout's Honor… I was a Brownie so it counts….

Scary Night at the ER...

SCARY NIGHT!!! Was at the grocery store with Mr. B and Miss A and I *think* he got a little of a powder I was purchasing on his hands, in his system, something. He got bad REAL quick, sneezing, coughing, wheezing, etc. By the time we got to the car, he was gagging… I practically threw him and the groceries in the van (did I buy eggs?  Oh well..) I said are you hurting?  He said his heart hurt and there were ladybugs in his belly…in-between the sneezing, coughing, wheezing, and retched gagging-ish noise he was making. He said he wanted to go home.  Um, no honey, we're going straight to the doctor

Raced to the hospital doesn't even begin to describe my descent from Hampton Cove down to Huntsville Hospital…. it was soooo "Grey's Anatomy"… I screech in and grab him out of the car.  My best friend walks up at just the perfect minute to go park my car (how else does it get parked?) and I rushed in.  What do they do? Calmly hand me a clipboard to fill out… I've got tears running down my face and he's gagging… I'm like I need a doctor, he's not breathing right!!! They put Mr. Blinky on his finger, his oxygen was 100%… listen to his lungs, not so good… they said how long has Mr. B been suffering with Ashtma?  Um, he doesn't have asthma… seasonal allergies maybe (should I dare mention essential oils at this point?) but this is not like him.

He looked gray. (Or grey?) His eyes dull.  Tears running down his cheeks.  Breathing yes, feel good NO.

They put a bracelet on him and took us back to a room.  Thankfully it was not THE room…. (once I post Addy's story, you'll understand why THE room is not an okay place for me)… it wasn't even close to THE room.  

And there we sat.

I sent my friend home around 10:30.  Mr. B sounded a little wheezy, but not in danger and obviously not if no one was checking on us.

I sent hubby and Miss A home at 11:00.  I contemplated leaving.  By then he sounded fine, just fine. I'm thinking, why in the world did I just waste $150?? I should've just taken him home and used my oils…. (read here about how I overcame my skepticism and started learning about oils) I thought yep, allergy trio woulda worked wonders… and lavender on the inside of his cheek if he decided to continue sneezing. It's funny how when you start playing with oils you mentally diagnose every ailment in your head with an oil… LOL

Finally someone walked in at 11:26… did the "work up", said he still sounded a little wheezy but after about 6 breaths it cleared up. Said doc would be in soon… I'm still thinking lets make a run for it.

Doc shows up close to 1am.  She ordered a breathing treatment and x-rays.  Breathing treatment helped the last bit of left side wheeziness… then off to x-rays.  Around 1 am the doc said lung x-ray looked good….

and then the pause

BUT

She said his heart looked a little large on the x-ray.  Could be absolutely nothing, but wants me to follow up with our pediatrician.  Yep, calling him Monday morning.  

So if I actually had my oils on me, we probably wouldn't have gone to the hospital.  And then not had the x-ray… it may be absolutely nothing, like she said… or it could be something… God never EVER wastes a hurt…. he saw an opportunity for me to get some valuable information and placed me in a situation where I would receive it.  

Oh, and the $150 copay?  Nada… the powder I was pretty sure he somehow ingested qualified us for an emergency visit and no copay.  Thank you Jesus!  Now will I get other mini charges?  Probably.  Do I care?  Nope… My boy is good. I'm still shaking like a leaf but my boy is okay. A few drops of faith go a  LONG way when you know God's got your back….

How this skeptic turned into a believer in Essential Oils.....

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.
 
So I bought the kit.  Lookie to the left and you'll see what all comes in it.  ELEVEN oils, some samples, and the really cool diffuser.  To top it off, lovely Beth, being the cool person she is, gave me a sample of M-grain for my friend's boy to try.

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...

Click here to begin the enrollment process and get your starter kit.  It'll walk you through the process. 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.

If you get lost, contact me.  That's what I'm here for.  To change the world, one drop at a time.  We walk by faith, not by sight... but I'm a believer now, in more ways than one!
