My Love of Essential Oils

You know those people who can easily pick out the perfect gift for you without even asking for ideas?  My Aunt Linda happens to be one of them!  Besides being in tune with my obsession for Pottery Barn and Williams-Sonoma, she can get me a gift she knows I would love without even asking me.

Last year for my birthday, I got a large box in the mail from her with my birthday present.  I open it up to find a starter kit of essential oils, complete with a diffuser and magazines with information and tips galore.  Before I opened the box, I had never used essential oils for anything other than lavender in a bubble bath.  Little did I know that I would quickly become addicted to them.  Once again, she picked out an amazing gift.


For those of you out there who are skeptical thinking it's just another fad that will die out soon, it's not.  These oils really do work!  From using Peppermint to help with allergies and headaches to a Young Living blend called Thieves to boost your immune system, I am in love!  Below is a list of the oils I've used in the past 6 months of having my starter kit and the common uses for them.

  • Peppermint - headaches, allergies
  • Thieves - immunity boost
  • Panaway - sore muscles
  • Lavender - relaxation, sleep, eczema
  • Lemon - flavor in water
  • Tea tree - acne breakout
  • Frankincense - lighten up scars and dark marks
  • Peace and Calming - stress, sleep
  • Valor - sleep
