Are Young Living Essential Oils worth it?

Posted on by sherwinelaine

It was January of this year when we finally gave in and tried using essential oils to see if it is worth it.

The first oil we tried was SleepyIze, a pre-diluted essential oil blend made specifically for kids. It has lavender, geranium, roman chamomile and bergamot essential oils. It promotes feelings of relaxation which helps kids settle in bed at night. We applied it topically to both our kids and definitely helped with their sleep.

The second essential oil blend we tried was RC Essential Oil for my husband and kid’s allergic rhinitis which also worked like magic. And that was the beginning of our oil-some journey!

Sleepyize Essential Oil Blend

We purchased the Premium Starter Kit (PSK) with Feather the Owl diffuser and have been using it everyday since. The PSK contains 11 5ml bottles of essentials oils as follows :

  • Lavender Essential Oil 5-ml
  • Peppermint Essential Oil 5-ml
  • Lemon Essential Oil 5-ml
  • Copaiba Essential Oil 5-ml
  • Frankincense Essential Oil 5-ml
  • Thieves® Essential Oil 5-ml
  • Citrus Fresh™ Essential Oil 5-ml
  • Raven™ Essential Oil 5-ml
  • DiGize™ Essential Oil 5-ml
  • PanAway® Essential Oil 5-ml
  • Stress Away™ Essential Oil 5-ml

The PSK also includes: AromaGlide™ Roller Fitment, 10 Love It? Share It! Sample Business Cards, 10 Love It? Share It! Sample Oil Bottles, 2 NingXia Red® 2-oz. samples, Product Guide and Member Resources. This kit also entitled me to enjoy the benefits of being a YL member. I also enrolled in their Essential Rewards Program. Being a part of ER Program lets you earn points and get free oils and even diffusers! YL is so generous when it comes to rewarding its members.

Of course, you have to be cautious in using the oils especially for kids, either when diffusing or applying topically. I enjoy making roller blends for me, our family and friends too! The Deep Sleep Roller Blend and Happy Tummy blend are our go to and must-have blends.

I will be sharing more about our oil-some journey here on the blog. I will be posting diffuser blend recipes and roller blend recipes too. Do not forget to subscribe to our mailing list to get exclusive content! Watch out for my blog on the must-have essential oils/oil blends after PSK soon.

To my firstborn — I miss you even you’re here with me.

Posted on by sherwinelaine

Dear Ate Reilly,

I was staring at you as you sleep while I was feeding your baby sister. I remember not so long ago, we had quiet mornings of just you and me after Papa left for work. You hug me tight and kiss me good morning as soon as you wake up before asking if you have to go to school today. You fall asleep in my arms at night after whispering goodnight mom, i love you. I drive and fetch you to/from school. We had time to play during bath time. We have unplanned trips to the mall or to the nearby coffee shop to just eat, chat and bond.

It was a different story now.

When Eliana was born, I had fear that the love in my heart will not be enough for the both of you. But I was wrong. I love you as much as I love Ellie but it was my time and my body that I cannot split. Nowadays, you do things on your own. You wake up, wash your face, eat breakfast, take a bath alone with minimal supervision. We cannot take the bus and commute to the mall if we please, oftentimes it is Papa who goes with you and takes care of your needs.

I miss you. I miss our time together in the world of our own. I believe that we will just wait a little more time my Ate Reilly, and everything will go back as it was before. I am proud because we were able to train you before you became a big sister. But for now, let Papa hug you as you sleep.
