We love Plant Therapy!! With a toddler at home, I wanted more kid safe products for my cleaning schedule. I've got a lemon EO, and just started learning all the ways I can use EOs for cleaning and everything else. Now I cant wait to add more oils, and would love either bundle to add to my collection.

I have noticed how many uses tea tree and lavender have and am interested in expanding my horizon and seeing what other uses essential oils have.

I've looked at several essential oil companies and this is a new one for me. I didn't have the money for a kit for a while now and it would be nice to be able to have a whole kit to try and introduce people to a natural and essential way of life. Everyone should have a few a least. Along with trying to eat better, this is an important addition.
