This was a very busy weekend preparing enough "on hand" products to take to the local Vendor shows I will be at, my upcoming Launch Party, and the holiday season that is quickly approaching has been both wonderful and exhausting.  I am not too sure of what the "hot ticket items" will be but here are just a few of my favorites...even though it was hard to choose.

The Lemon Sugar Scrub I use before I shave my legs.  This will help exfoliate them and my hubby loves the way they feel silky smooth.  The lemon essential oils in it help give you a deep clean and detoxify, and smells AMAZING!

essentially you. Lemon Sugar Scrub $4.00

 

 

My next favorite is the Powdered Laundry Detergent.  I have very sensitive skin and was forced to use the Free and Clear style detergents.  I was still breaking out all the time with those, so obviously some chemical they were using in them was still too harsh for me.  I only use 1/2 tablespoon on our light colors and a whole tablespoon on my husbands work clothes (he works in Printing Maintenance for a Plastic Company) and they all come out looking better than anything I have ever bought at the stores!  And since it is scent free, I just add a few drops of my favorite Young Living Essential Oils in with it.

essentially you. Laundry Detergent $8.00

 

 

After a long day in clinic or shopping or just being on my feet, I LOVE to soak them in a nice Lavender Salt bath.  The scent is amazing and the essential oils absorb in through my feet and in 20 minutes or less the whole weight of the world is lifted!  My husband LOVES to use the Peppermint Salt because it leaves him feeling cooler.  He is on his feet all day in a hot environment and I would recommend the Peppermint for those in that same situation!  And to make life even better, no stinky feet smell in my house anymore. 

essentially you. Bath Salts $12.00

How we got started

WELCOME and THANK YOU for joining me on the GRAND OPENING of my essentially you. site.  I am excited to share with you some DIY recipes, information, and tips on becoming a healthier you.
Let me tell you how the idea of essentially you. became a reality.  I was diagnosed a few years ago with cluster migraines.  I would get them when the weather shifts drastically from season to season and  when allergy season kicks in.  Living in Southern Indiana, this happens often!  So my doctor prescribed me some medication that I take at the onset of a migraine with the idea it will prevent the migraine from getting worse.  I am allowed 9 pills a month and they are roughly $64 per pill with my insurance.  After two tries and no relief (I actually think they made them worse) I was hopping on the Internet to look into other options.
I came across a pin on Pinterest about Peppermint Essential Oils helping with headaches. I somewhat dismissed it and went about life since it was the end of my migraine season.  As we approached Spring, my husband and I were out shopping and I came across a display of Essential Oils.  I saw the Peppermint was on sale and figured it was cheaper than my medication that didn't work so why not.  Then the waiting period came and I finally got my first migraine coming on.  I go get my Peppermint Oil and put a drop behind each ear and one on the nape of my neck.  Within 3 minutes my headache was going away and I had a wonderful cooling sensation on my head!  It was a win/win situation in my book.  The next headache came a few days later and I had the same results. 
I then decided that I wanted to try another oil and I chose to do the Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint blended together which is the Zyrtec replacement.  This worked wonderfully and there was another medication to cross off my list.  At this point I was so excited that I am saving extra money and feeling better all around.  I made the decision right then and there that I was going chemical free in my house.  After more research I learned that even though some companies advertise that they are 100% Essential Oils, they are not!  I came across Young Living Essential Oils which are therapeutic grade oils.  These are the top shelf in the oil community.  They are so pure you can ingest them and the other companies I looked at advise you not to ingest them at all and that you actually need to call poison control if you do.  I became an Independent Consultant immediately and now use my Young Living Oils on a daily basis. 
That's where the essentially you. idea came about.  I wanted to help everyone I knew become a healthier version of themselves and to save money by ditching the drug store and reaching instead for something that the good Lord gave us.  The essentially you. line is all natural, hand crafted, quality products for you and your home!   I am so blessed to be able to share them with the rest of you, and cannot thank my friends and family enough for helping me on my journey!
