Know Your Farmer, Know Your Supplier

Know your farmer, know your supplier…

I love Amazon Prime and I love essential oils. BUT GUYS!!! The two don’t mix. Remember- friends don’t let friends buy crap.

You blew my phone up with questions about all sorts of Brand questions. Which is funny because you know I am bias. But also it’s an honor because it means you know I’ll shoot you straight. I thought I’d share some facts about essential oils.

💧Essential oils have become popular. And every single company is coming out with their own line of oils. TJ Maxx, Target, Kohl’s and my beloved Amazon. This is certainly an instance where you get what you pay for.

💧You are not guaranteed what you are getting is actually pure essential oil and not synthetic junk. There is not very much regulation on the essential oils industry. So the words “100% pure” or “Certified” mean nada. You need more then words.

💧Research is vital. Legit-CALL the Company. Ask questions. Where is your oil coming from? How do they farm? Do they purchase from a vendor? How do they test and regulate that vendor? Here is what you need to look for: No gmo seeds, no chemicals ever used on soil or plants, ethically sourced plants harvested at the proper time and plants are distilled at a low pressure and low temperature. If you’re purchasing through a friend ASK them! They should be able to provide this information and resources.

💧The oily world is big… and growing. It can be an overwhelming world to navigate. One of the huge benefits of Young living is the education. The resources and community are second to none. You cant get me with your Amazon oils. 😉

What we put on and in our bodies has an effect on our health. Young Living is the world leader in essential oils turned lifestyle company.They lead the pack because of their purity and commitment standards and sustainability. Young Living gives me peace of mind and complete confidence that I am doing the best for my most precious people.

I love you. I want good for you. So friendly PSA. Grab the Instant Pot or the Bose headphones but skip that Oily Amazon deal of the day. Let me hook you up.

I borrowed this post from a friend, because everything she said in it is true and to the point.
