I am so interested in learning about essential oils but the cost is hight to start. Thanks for the opportunity for a chance to win the oil sets!
Eller says
I have spent the first year of our marriage transitioning my husband and myself into a less chemically dependent lifestyle. We have given conscious effort to developing a whole foods diet and even altered the cleaning and personal care products that we use. We are as of yet to delve into the world of essential oils, however. This is partly due to my own ignorance about the benefits of specific oils, but largely due to the cost prohibitive nature of oil use for recent graduates/newlyweds. This post has reignited my curiosity and winning such an all encompassing set would give us the ability to experiment and learn how to best enrich our lives with these products!
