Hey there! If you are ever looking for the least likely gal to EVER use oils, well you found her!! It is so ironic how oils have come into my life and not only do I use them daily, I wholeheartedly enjoy sharing them with others.

Everyone that knows anything about me knows that I am a go-getter, an over achiever, shoot for the stars kind of girl, live openly, laugh freely (I have the worse laugh EVER by the way-it's so loud) I can be a "little" persistent at times... always optimistic, glass half full, and shines bright! Maybe a little too bright for some people but that's okay! 



There are 3 rules I live by:
1. if you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it
2 if you do not ask, the answer will always be no
3. if you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place

In January I started praying hard for my family. In the last few months there had been a lot of change that had occurred. We were living in a brand new home with more debt, my husband was in a new job whose company was being taken over, so we were unsure if they would start laying people off. My husband also suffers from Type I Diabetes and is insulin dependent and that stuff is not cheap and everyone knows eating healthier is not cheap either which is necessary for his health. For so many reasons, I wanted this year to look so much different than previous years. I encountered a friend who was using essential oils and she discussed with me the business side.

I'm a risk taker, an adventurer, always up for a challenge so I decided to purchase a kit, actually I purchased a kit that very same day but I was still VERY skeptical!! I had heard of essential oils and honestly I did not know if I would use them, or if I even believed in them. I am not holistic and I'm far from being healthy and fit. Rarely do I work out and I will stop at a fast food place in a minute to avoid cooking. So you see... I needed change in my life. I was uneasy about starting to share and sell oils in the first month of purchasing my kit because I don't ever want to jump into something without being 100% sure of it.  And here I was, jumping...


RESEARCH! I started researching and studying essential oils. I started taking small steps and making changes towards a healthier lifestyle for my family with the daily use of essential oils and using safe chemical free household products I could not be more thankful for my friend introducing me to Young Living... or surprised at the financial freedom that started to come with it.



I'm married to the best guy E.V.E.R. he has supported me through this oil journey, I wouldn't say he is anywhere as passionate about it as I am but he has embraced it in our home. I have two beautiful little energetic boys that keep me on my toes everyday. We live in Eastern NC in a small town where everyone knows everyone's bizness.. if you know what I mean. I am a full-time registered nurse, a blogger, photographer, I love really good food, laughing until I cry and smelling my wrist all day.


By definition essential oils are the vital fluid in a plant. It is what keeps the plant alive or what I like to call the lifeblood or their immune system. Oils are typically extracted through careful steam distillation that ensures all the important, therapeutic, and health-giving constituents of the oil remain intact. If you pick a rose and break off the stem, you'll always notice there is a bit of watery substance. This is the source that the pure essential oils come from. This God given source was intelligently created to benefit our whole body.



It is likely even if you are not a member of Young Living you are using essential oils. They are used to flavor foods, in toothpaste and mouthwash to give it that minty kick, they are in perfumes and skin care products. They are many places that you wouldn't guess but not all oils are created equally. Oils found in most cosmetics are typically synthetic which means they were not extracted delicately, fillers and other toxins have been added to them for dilution. These types of synthetic oils work against your body.

Young Living was started 20 years ago by Gary D. Young as a small family business. Now they are the world leader in essential oils.They have a process called "Seed to Seal". They own all their farms across the globe and go through vigorous methods to ensure that the soil the crops are planted in have never been touched with pesticides or herbicides so that toxins are never present in the plants or in the oils. Young Living oversees each step ensuring that the correct temperature is used for the correct amount of time so that every constituent is intact. They go above and beyond to guarantee that every drop of oil is what we call "organic." They do not have any additives and their oils can be taken internally.



In the last 6 months I have seen countless testimonies of how many families have received amazing benefits to their health from these pure, therapeutic grade essential oils, and I can't wait to hear your testimony!

I encourage YOU, my team members to share this post, send this link to friends and family, share on Fb or Ig. Let the people you love know about how wonderful and powerful God is and let them make the decision to take a step towards a healthier lifestyle.

If you are reading this and you have not yet joined my team, once you join, you are a distributor and can start purchasing your oils at 24% off the retail price. There is ZERO pressure to ever sell, if you just want to join our community and purchase oils, that is great! We have resources available for both. Starting this journey can be intimidating but walking through it with us takes that away. We would love to have you! You will never feel like you don't know what to do with your oils. I post DAILY on my Instagram @enrgee_release, I have occasional oil parties in my home, I provide you with free information on diffuser recipes and all kinds of recipes to use your oils for cleaning, to cooking, making your own perfume, soaps, lotions, sprays, rollers and so much more.






I would absolutely love to have you on my team! To enroll with my group use the link below:

https://www.youngliving.com/vo/#/signup/new-start?sponsorid=11061057&enrollerid=11061057&isocountrycode=US&culture=en-US&type=member

Make sure the number 11061057 appears in both the Enroller and Sponsor ID fields.

If you are joining my team, two things that I recommend:

Purchasing the $160 Premium Starter Kit and picking an Essential Rewards kit.

Make sure you choose the wholesale option for the lower ordering prices. By purchasing a rewards kit you are signing up for a monthly ordering program that give you the ability to earn points for free products, enjoy reduced shipping costs, and plan out your family’s essential oil budget. Plus, if you are a part of this monthly program you are able to receive commissions off of growing your own business.

E S S E N T I A L  R E W A R D S :
When checking out with your starter kit, feel free to select "no thank you" for the Essential Rewards in Step 3 or! choose a customizable package and ship them together for extra savings.When you customize your own, follow these instructions:
+ Go into Essential Rewards
+ Click continue to autoship
+ Click EDIT
+ Click add product
+ Click Save
I strongly recommend this. You get 10-25% back in points each month, you can purchase products that you would be buying anyways (shampoo, vitamins, toothpaste, laundry detergent, soap, etc) while hitting that 100 PV (product value, which is typically one point per dollar) to get commissions, discounted shipping and more! You do not have to sign up with a package, you can tailor it to meet your needs each and every month. You can also cancel it at any time at no charge.This is the only way to make commissions if you are interested in building a business.

Last week we had some fun in the sun in Windsor, NC. Sprinklers, slip & slide, and pools! Some of children favorite outdoor summer activities! I was so excited for these minis because I knew everyone would have a good time. Here are a few of my favorite from each session:
