I'd heard of essential oils and how amazing they are for years, but didn't really give them a try until a year ago. Since then, I've started collecting and trying as many new oils as I can, while trying to learn all I can about them. These little suckers can get expensive, so I was very grateful to be able to receive so many of these at a discount in exchange for trying them and giving my honest review. (All opinions are my own. I did not receive any other sort of compensation.)
I've only been using them a short time, but have seen some really neat results. From helping with my anxiety, headaches, and asthma, to helping with my son's temper tantrums, I'm loving essential oils! I especially love that, even with my scent sensitivity, I can use essential oils as perfume or air freshener and NOT get sick.
A Bit About Essential Oils

What makes a pure, high quality, essential oil?
As a newbie, I purchased these brands for review and comparison: Simply Earth, First Botany, Majestic Pure, and Pure Body Naturals. But I have tried a few other brands, including Doterra, Young Living, Spark Naturals, etc. Oddly enough, with all of the oils I've tried so far, the bigger the bottle, the less quality/pure the oil. One obvious indicator of this less quality is the scent. In the oils that were lower quality, the scent was not as concentrated, and the scent was even off.
So, what does make an essential oil pure or high quality? Ingredients. It can take hundreds of pounds of plant material to extract one pound of essential oil. This gets quite expensive. Some of the lower quality oils, while they are from the same type of plant, they're often made from the cheaper plant parts (like twigs, branches, wood, etc, instead of leaves). ![]() ![]()
Of all the oils I've tried so far, Simply Earth is my new favorite! They average around only $5 per bottle. Their oils are high quality, pure, potent, and 13% of the profit from each purchase goes to help end human trafficking. You can read more about this company and their mission on their website. Here's a little bit about each oil I got to try.

My goals
I want to have energy to spend time and actually do activities with my family.
I want to be able to be physically active. Iâm not saying I plan on running marathons, but being able to exercise and do basic housecleaning on a daily basis would be nice.
I want my mind to feel less foggy all the time so I can do my job well and enjoy being in the profession I love.
I want to be healthy and be at a healthy weight.
