Why Essential Oils?

I'm a lover of anything that enhances a healthy and happy life.
Sunsets.
Rainstorms.
Waves crashing on a beach. The sand between my toes.
Meditation.
These are just a few therapeutic remedies I use to supplement my mind, body and soul, and their benefits stem from the fact that each drives me to employ all five of my senses.

Aromatherapy was the first reason I began using essential oils. Scents have a powerful affect on me. They are tied to memories and moods. They are calming, energizing and empowering.
I purchased a starter kit and began using Young Living essential oils because I wanted a diffuser and a collection of oils that would make my house smell spa-like.

It wasn't until I cracked open that pretty kit that I discovered that essential oils' benefits span far beyond aromatherapy, but actual physical and mental wellness, too. Even now, I'm still learning about the benefits of using them aromatically, topically on my skin and even internally - something I never would have dreamed of doing with the brands I bought years ago from Whole Foods (which is a good thing, because you should never use essential oils topically or internally unless you've researched them first. Many oils labeled "pure" still aren't safe for these uses. I feel comfortable using Young Living oils on my skin and inside my body because of their Seed to Seal program. I've been to one of their farms here in Utah and seen their process firsthand.)

Now, I use essential oils literally every day. I'll share about my experiences here, as well as on my Instagram account, @barefoot.essentials.
If you're interested in learning more (I promise it's not just hype. I will never share anything here that I do not wholeheartedly love or believe in), follow along!
