Since January we've been using Young Living Essential Oils (YLEO) to improve our over all health. I had heard about them for months, and after doing some research of my own and listening to others' stories I decided to take the jump and order a starter kit and dove in. I'm excited to share with you a bit of our journey today.

One of the biggest reasons that I really was excited to try YLEOs is for sleep aid. My son at the time was 13 months old in January and still hadn't slept through one night all the way through since he was born. I was hoping that Peace & Calming oil would help this.

I'm going to talk about the kit that I ordered really quickly which was the Premium Starter Kit. The kit comes with 11 oils, 10 of which are in the Everyday Oils collection + Stress Away oil. A home diffuser and a few sample size oils.

The Everyday oils are 10 of the most commonly used oils. What I loved about this was for the price you get a wide variety of oils to try out, plus the home diffuser is amazing. I signed up as a wholesale member which comes with a 24% discount on future orders. Ok, now that we got that out of the way, I wanna share some of my oily experiences with you.

Used this combo to help with calming when we finally took away my son's pacifiers. It helped calm him and ease the discomfort.

As I mentioned I'd wanted to try these oils out for help with my son's sleeping. The first night I applied Peace & Calming to the bottoms of his feel diluted with some coconut oil, I also diffused the same oil in his room before bedtime.

The first night he slept through the night. He slept 7pm till 7 am! I couldn't believe it, before he'd been waking up three times a night. He'd go down at 7pm and wake at midnight, 3m and finally again at 7am.

Of coarse I needed to test this theory before calling it a "win" I did the same thing for the next couple nights and he slept through them all just like the first night. I was excited that oils were helping him with his sleep. This was a victory for our family, and we were enjoying sleep ourselves.

Young Living Essential Oils are so versatile and since everyone's body is so different in how they respond to them the oils can be used for so many uses and in so many different combinations.

The Oils that come in the kit are; Joy, Frankincense, Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint, Purification, PanAway, Peace & Calming, Thieves and Valor.

I used Thieves this past winter to help keep sickness and germs away and I'm happy that none of my family got hit with a nasty flu bug like we did last year.

I used Purification + Peppermint on my daughter to help clear an ear infection.

Joy is one of my favorites, I love the smell and I like to call it my "get stuff done" oil. It gives me energy and motivation. In result I get lots done when I diffuse it in my home.

I like to use Purification in my home to get rid of nasty smells too.

I've been using oils for the last 6 months and I'm enjoying what I'm learning and how they are helping my family's overall health.
