The Beginning of my Oily Journey
Katie HaydenEdit”The Beginning of my Oily Journey”
11 years ago my son was struggling to take a breath and as a tiny infant had been diagnosed with RSV. This respiratory illness never fully went away, and in fact hung on tight, as asthma. He as made huge strides and has come a long way, and we are thankful. But this was where the first change happened for me. Because I knew that I would be holding and snuggling with my baby, (all day, every day), I chose to stop using the perfumes, colognes, and artificially fragranced body lotions and sprays (that I once loved to indulge in)- because artificial fragrance was a trigger for him.
Fast forward 9 years, my son’s asthma was mostly under control but he began suffering with Migraine headaches. I too struggle with them and have since I was 14 years old. We began researching how to eliminate the cause. I love for my home to smell nice and for our family to feel the comfort and warmth, that can often times be associated with scent. Since artificial fragrance had been a trigger for my son’s asthma, it was natural for me to start there, but I needed a solution. The minute I removed the artificially scented candles from our home and began replacing them with essential oils in cool mist diffusers , we saw a tremendous difference in the frequency of our headaches. We made changes in our diets and routines and this was where the second change happened for me.
And just a few months ago, in the middle of the COVID-19 Pandemic, this “clean freak,” (Clorox wipe lovin) momma, could not find one Clorox wipe to spare. I began racking my brain and doing some research for an alternative, and I came across Thieves concentrate by YL, and I’ve never looked back. One cleaner, one bottle, for all surfaces, it is effective, smells amazing, and is completely safe. Thieves Household Cleaner has replaced all of my cleaners. There is an entire Thieves line- it’s all incredible!!!
I was sold. I began researching the use of essential oils, and the different brands/companies and even though I have dabbled in oils and their uses from time to time, I decided that I want to learn as much as I possibly can, and to begin shifting our household and lifestyle to one that is focused on wellness. We started by ditching the chemical-filled, hormone disturbing cleaners, for a a cleaner that is safe and we haven’t looked back.
These 3 experiences have pushed me to discover a life changing opportunity. I have absolutely fallen in love with Young Living and everything that they have to offer. I love Young Living products, from essential oils and supplements to body care and makeup. Now don’t get me wrong, I have not been able to make this shift in one fail swoop, and I have not been able to find a chemical free hair spray or mascara that I am crazy about, but each and every item that I have introduced to our daily lives, has been absolutely amazing and life-changing to say the least. Young Living was the company that provided what I was looking for with regard to quality products and support, business opportunity, and a community to come along side me- one step at a time.
I am the gatekeeper of my home. The more I open my eyes to the products that I am allowing in and on our hands, the more I want to learn, the more I want to change. I just have to remind myself that making one small change at a time is going to have a huge and lasting impact.
My passion is service to people, and I want everyone that I love and care about to be able to have the same opportunity, exposure, information and options that I have had regarding this lifestyle change, because it is impacting us in such a huge way!! There is something for everyone and I would love to share this with you all. We are reaping huge benefits from Young Living, both from a product stand point and from a business side of things.
My heart is to support my family, specifically my kiddos, in everyway possible and this is another way that I can do just that. I am driven to share this with as many people as possible. If you are at all interested in coming along side me in this journey, I would love for us to jump in and take this leap together. Scary? Yes! Worth it? 100%!!
Once I was confident in my decision, it was so easy to get started. Young Living offers a premium starter kit, that does exactly what is says, it gets you started. The kit provided product and support for all that I needed to get new daily habits in my home- plus it comes with an awesome diffuser. Just after receiving my starter kit, the fun began. Products for my home, emotional and hormonal support, products and oils specific for kids and babies, makeup and body care, and so much more. I would love for you and your family to experience the freedom that this lifestyle can offer you. You can take complete control of your health and wellness and can be confident in the products that you use to help you along the way. We have also begun to experience the financial perks that Young Living as to offer and who can complain about that?
