doTERRA Essential Oils Giveaway!


It feels like every time I get online, I hear something about the amazing uses of essential oils. I have wanted to try some for a long time, and finally got the chance when Laura from Laura's gluten free pantry sent me some to try.

I really had no idea where to start, and honestly was a little skeptical about all the hype I kept hearing. I finally decided to try the peppermint oil first, because I deal with sinus headaches quite a bit, and was shocked when my headache went away almost as soon as I tried the oil! I'll take drinking a cup of coffee with a splash of peppermint any day over popping tylenol!

Shortly after that experience I got well acquainted with the usefulness of essential oils when all 5 of my kids got sick last week. They all had coughs, runny noses, and fevers, so I gave them lots of baths with orange, lemon, and peppermint oil. When they couldn't sleep, I rubbed some lavender oil on their wrists, and when the coughing got particularly bad I rubbed some peppermint oil(mixed with coconut oil) on their feet, and watched in amazement as they got some much needed relief.

I think it's safe to say that I'm no longer skeptical about essential oils. :)

Laura has generously offered to giveaway a Doterra introductory kit(which contains lavender, peppermint, and lemon oil), an audio cd explaining how to use the oils, and a large bottle of wild orange oil to one of my readers. All you have to do is enter below!

Also, if you'd like to go ahead and purchase a kit, green living ladies is currently running a special where if you a buy a kit, you get another one for free! 

Good "luck!"

  1. One of my favorites is Thieves from Young Living. It gives the immune system a real boost so we use it anytime the kiddos are sick.

  9. I am familiar with essential oils and their uses, but it wasn't until recently that I actually went out and purchased some. I currently have eucalyptus, citronella (lemon grass) and tea tree oil. I bought them with the intent of using them for homemade cleaners and have since discovered many more uses for them. Lavender and peppermint are the next on my "to purchase" list.

  10. I am a total EO addict! Even my hubby is believer since the first time I put lemon, lavender and peppermint in local honey for his allergies. There is sooo much to learn about using them. I know just a drop in the bucket! But don't ever use them on your kids without first mixing in a carrier oil.
