One Change Every Week

Over the course of the next few months, we are making some very specific changes to our lifestyle, mostly in our diet.  I'll get into the reasons behind this decision in a future post.  This week's change . . . giving up white rice for organic brown rice.  It is nutty and filling.  An easy first change.

Essential Oils

Let me just start by saying, I'm addicted.
I believe everything we need to get and keep ourselves and our families healthy has been provided for us by a loving Heavenly Father.  What better way to use what we have been given than by using pure essential oils?!
I use essential oils everyday, several times a day.  And I love them!  I use Melaleuca/tee tree oil for my child with foot fungus.  I give her Oregano for the same reason.  We use lavender on little scrapes and burns.  And one of my favorites . . . lavender and peppermint on the forehead and the back of the neck for headaches.
Many of the oils I have are from a company called doTerra.  Doterra oils are pure.  And great.  But in order to give in to my addiction, most of the oils I have bought are from Now Foods.  Also pure.  Also great.  Their company offers many great and natural products.  And that includes 100% pure essential oils at a price more in my budget.
I bought my Now Foods essential Oils from a website called Nutrition Geeks.  They have great products at great prices.  I have been very impressed with this company.  Not only are their prices great, but they also have great and fast service.  You get 5% of your order as a discount on your next order.  Shipping is only $4.95 on orders up to $75 and free over that.  Two of my oils leaked on my first order.  When I sent them an email, they replied swiftly and sent me two new bottles, no questions asked.  Love them!  Here is a code to get $5 off your first order, FFBAE0.  Just enter it at check out.  It gives me a credit too.  I hope you like them as much as I do.
