My first month with Young Living Oils

I got my starter kit over a month ago and wow...I am in love! Let me explain how essential oils entered my life. Last year, I bought a Hoover FloorMate to scrub the tile and wood floors in my house. When I went to the store to buy more cleaner for it, I was like, "What?!?! $15 for a bottle of this?" Surely, I can make this for much cheaper myself. Plus, it was full of chemicals that I couldn't pronounce. Now, having a toddler and the fact that neither of my kiddos will keep socks on their feet, I also didn't want all of those chemicals in my house either. So I got on Pinterest and found a gazillion recipes for homemade cleaners. The one that I just love for my FloorMate is as follows.... hot water, 1 cup vinegar, 1 tbsp baking soda a drop of dish soap and essential oils. Essential oils? What the heck? Where do I get them? I used to use products from a business called "Melaleuca" which used tea tree oil in all of its products due to its anti-bacterial properties. So I understood the concept. I just didn't have that bottle of tea-tree oil anymore. So I bought a kit on Amazon. It was good. Mediocre. Okay, after using Young Living's oils, they are crappy, low quality. But it was a stepping stone along my oily journey. I used the crap out of the tea tree, lavender, lemon and orange oils in my cleaning. THEN...IT HAPPENED!!! A co-worker of mine told me that she signed up to be a Young Living Distributor. BING! I am a direct sales junkie. I have sold Partylite, Mary Kay and Melaleuca. Why not oils?!?! So after a few months of smelling her high quality oils at work, and after I emptied my bottles of El Cheapo brand, I signed up. That was the week before Christmas 2014. I am hooked. I use them every single day. I never thought that something as simple as an essential oil from the earth could make me feel so happy & at peace. In my first month, 2 people joined my team. My first paycheck was $110. I am making money simply by sharing something that I absolutely love!!! I am a part of an amazing team of people called the "Lemon Droppers" who are so joyful and helpful. I am so blessed to be part of something that makes me so happy. So check back here frequently and see how this journey turns out! ~Ang
