I’m so glad you're here! My name is Jackie & I'm a native Texan who lived in Georgia for the last 15 years and just recently found my way to the Sunshine state. Most days you'll find me munching on hummus or sneaking a nap. I adore making gazpacho, salsa, smoothies, guac, teas... ALL with essential oils of course. I used to teach school, so researching and learning are a few of my ideas of fun. :)
For those of you who aspire to live a more natural lifestyle, essential oils are as close to nature as you'll ever get. My passion is teaching about living your best life via oils and oil-infused products because I've witnessed first hand the amazing difference they make in your body and emotions. I want to be your personal guide, to teach you to "fish" so to speak. Honesty, respectfulness, and sincerity are a few of my core values. I offer private oily education groups filled with like-minded individuals on the same journey as well as a free personalized 4-month wellness plan.
Like many of you, I purchased oils online & from Walmart, health food stores, Whole Foods, & other retail sites, but they did nothing for me. Finally, I discovered why. Most oils you buy are full of fillers, additives, even dangerous synthetics, and at best only have 5% real oil in them. Yes, they can advertise 100% pure oil with all that crap and only 5% oil. Grrr!
My cousin kept talking about how oils were helping her sleep better, relax more, clean her house the safe way--whatever that meant, have more energy, and even make her big toe feel better. Really, really?!?! Call me a skeptic.
She was experiencing great success unlike me. Go figure! She offered samples so I said sure. Wowzers! Can I just say, yasss! I finally learned what these little magical bottles of plant juice were all about. I got my beginners kit of oils & it was literally life-changing. The changes they've made have empowered me to make good choices about my health and the way I choose to live, holistically. They support my healthy blood sugar level, I slumber sweetly at night, I've been able to maintain a healthy weight loss of 70 pounds, ease head tension, minimize occasional pain from sore muscles, ease seasonal discomfort and so much more. AND they help keep this mama calm when I need it the most. Do you want to know the secret? Well, here it is--the only thing in the bottle is the oil itself. No fillers, additives, or synthetics. YL is strict about the seeds chosen for planting, hand-weeding, no pesticide use, pure water, no tainted land (must have lain fallow for 50 years--organic use only requires 7 years), distillation times and methods, and so much more. All that makes a HUGE DIFFERENCE in oils that actually work and those that pretend to work! You won't find this quality in any other oils because YL is the only company that owns their own farms and distilleries, which means they are in total control of every aspect of the oil process, from the Seeds planted in the ground to the Seal placed on the bottle, and have been for 25 years.
I diffuse them, I apply to my body, & I ingest Vitality oils (ones marked safe for ingestion-Approved by the FDA as GRAS-Generally Recognized As Safe under sections 201(s) & 409 of the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act).
After using oils for a short time I started educating myself on toxins in the everyday stuff I was using on and in my body. I was shocked this stuff was even allowed on store shelves. What to do, what to do?! I slowly began ditching toxic products in my house for much safer, non-toxic ones. You know, things like toothpaste, mouthwash, deodorant, granola, snack bars, protein powder, skincare products, cleaning products, supplements, hair care, makeup… Yep, all those and more are full of dangerous toxins. You read about it every day in the news. I don’t have to shop at Walmart, Target, Publix, or Kroger for dangerous items anymore. Nope, I have safe alternatives delivered straight to my front door. It's the only way to shop! Woo Hoo, no waiting in line to check out, no traffic, & I don't have to get out of my pj's if I don't want to. It's called transfer buying. I'm not spending more, I just transferred where I shop, and believe it or not, I'm saving money too! Win-Win
If you're just curious, that's fine. Ask me anything you want to know. Don't worry, I'm pretty laid back. I don't believe in pressure or hype because I don't like pressure & hype used on me! Besides, YL products don't need that, they're the real deal and stand on their own merit. So you see, I'm just a former classroom teacher who now teaches others about living a healthy, non-toxic lifestyle. Pretty simple, right? I'd love to hear from you so drop me a note!
