I'm interested in trying them because my son has bad allergies and acid reflux. And I'm trying to healthier alternatives for my family.
The only essential oil I have tried is Lavender and that is because on Pinterest i found a "home remedy" for outside insects! I don't know who well it really worked but it smelled lovely! I actually was thinking about trying to find some oils to make your handcream but didn't know where to shop for them. Health food store? I found the lavender at Walmart.
I love using oils. Tea tree is my go to oil for everything, mosquito bites, zits, mouth sores, fever blisters. When I worked at a school I added tea tree to my shampoo to keep lice away. Evidently it worked. Never had them. Lol I also love patchouli. I dab a very small amount behind my ears. Mmmmmmm, love it. Just a few of what I use.
I am new to essential oils, but I am officially in love with them. My husband is battling cancer & I want to use all natural ingredients to clean, freshen, cook, brighten & treat all things in our house. All the recipes that I have found using essential oils have been amazing! I love the lavender the best for my severe case of insomnia... Ok well, I love the peppermint the best because it makes everything smell so clean... Ok well, I love the tea tree the best because I just love how it heals... So, you see, I love them all... They are wonderful, amazing, awesome & I am so glad that I have happened upon them...
I'm interested in them after our family made a new year's resolution to 'go green' and be more eco conscious. A large part of that was to stop buying commercial products & cleaners & make our own versions- almost all of which call for essential oils! But being that I'm not very knowledgeable on what to buy or not buy, use or not use, I haven't actually started trying them out yet- would love to, though! :)
I'm interested in learning more about how to use Lemon Oil. I've been using Lavender scented items for years, and I love the smell of Lemon, but I had no idea you could use it for all those things listed. I'd like to know more about how to apply or mix it etc.
Right now I primarily use them for scenting homemade cleaners. I plan to try to use them a little more in the medicine cabinet.
I'm new to essential oils but have begun making my own body scrubs and other beauty products. Would love to try these. Already following your blog.
Being diagnosed with Melanoma has changed everything for me and I am trying to keep myself and my family healthy by eating and healing naturally. After a year of horrible cancer treatment my body is responding better to natural healing then it did to all the prescriptions I was given for sickness, pain and mood control.
And I already "like" you on Facebook.
I'm interested in getting more and more chemicals out of my life and the life of my family. I just learned about doTERRA essential oils fairly recently and am very interested in learning more about them (and using them).
Already a Facebook Fan!! ;)
These are my favorite to add into my laundry soap that I make myself. I just found your facebook page and 'liked' it the other day. Glad I 'wandered' onto it! Love reading about all the other people's recipes and ideas....thanks for your blog!
I would love to make a body scrub with these oils. I especially love the smell of peppermint and I think it would leave a cooling sensation after rinsing off in the shower. Lemon would make me smile and lavender would be great after a stressful day and would help me nod off to sleep. I vbwould love to look for other uses as well!
Over the last 2 years I have changed my family’s life style including our fur children...we have gone Green!!! I read my labels and try to only buy products that don’t contain any harsh chemicals. I started making a lot of my own cleaning product not only I’m I saving a ton of money but I’m not exposing us to toxic chemicals. I’m looking for a high quality of essential oils and would love to try these.
Hi Rebecca, I have seen the benefits of doTerra oils as my daughters uses them. I would love these three oils as they are exactly what I need.
I started using a few essential oils just a few weeks ago after experiencing lots of horrible side effects from my normal allergy medicine. Eucalyptus helps my asthma so much, too.
I'm interested in using doTerra products, but am looking for an unbiased opinion about them.
Winning a giveaway would be a good way to see for myself what they are all about.
I'm always looking for natural alternatives to traditional treatments and such. Essential oils are completely natural and are much better than the chemicals that are in most products. I've read a bit on it, and look forward to trying it.
Anjuli, you're smart to research doTERRA, I did the same. I originally signed up to help my daughter in law get started as a rep. I didn't actually use my oils for several months after I ordered them. But once I started, there was no denying their strength and efficacy. I struggle blogging about doTERRA essential oils as I don't want people to think I'm selling anything. I just want to spread the good word and be here as a source of information for those with questions. Thanks for being discerning and open to trying essential oils...I know you'll be amazed and grateful for all their benefits once you try them!
Great news!
That's awesome you're making changes like you are! I love the DIY/Green movement, I think we're making a dent and gaining a voice. Good luck!
Thanks Sue! Happy you're wandering around too...it's a favorite past tine of mine as well ;)
That's a good decision you're making...it's a process though, I know! Good luck!
I mixed some insect repellent spray for my son yesterday whose little house is infested with spiders! In a spray bottle, mix water, 20 drops of peppermint essential oil and a little alcohol for emulsifying. Works wonders and smells pretty good, like you say :)
A fellow patchouli lover! I like to make a home spritz with patchouli as well as lavender.
Lynn so sorry to hear your husband is battling cancer, but happy you're being so meticulous with what you expose your family to! I would suggest Frankincense for your hubby for it's regenerative effects. I recently started putting a drop on my toothbrush along with my toothpaste at night...another way to get it in my system.
These oils would be a great start for you!
Thx :)
Oh...and yes, health food stores carry essential oils. Amazon too. Just be sure you're buying pure essential oils without additives.
I love reading about all the homemade recipes you (and Jillee!) post about (cleaning, pampering, etc.). I am interested in finding ways I can make our home a little more natural and a little more green - every little bit helps, right? I follow you on facebook already. Thanks
I had Peppermint essential oil once... I got to use three drops of it before my husband accidentally smashed it all over the fireplace mantle. THAT was a pungent house for a few days! I love learning about new ways for my family to sustain itself just a little bit better, and essential oils could be one way to really make those self sustainable ways a little bit easier to tolerate :)
I have dabbled with essential oils thanks to you and Jillee, in some cleaning products, air fresheners, etc. I love the idea of replacing all of my medicine cabinet with them. The idea of going more natural and getting away from chemicals interests me, especially with two grand babies around - if I can make them sleep better, stay healthy and feel better by using essential oils instead of all kinds of medicines, that is fantastic!!
So happy I found this blog. I am interested in any natural alternatives to standard medicine to deal with anxiety, insomnia, acid reflux etc...
I'm also new to essential oils. I am a nurse and in search of cleaner, healthier, natural health/beauty/cleaning products for my family. I love all of your recipes and ideas for using essential oils! Looking forward to unlocking all of their amazing benefits!
I am new at using essential oils... but have seen many benefits! Ma super excited to look into this further!!
I'm currently experimenting with TeaTree Oil. The results have been amazing. I use Lavender for room/linen sprays but haven't tried it for any other uses. Guess I need to get busy!!
I'd love to have these in my cupboards!!!! I've recently started doing all kinds of DIY products and there's no turning back. Since EOs are a bit expensive, I've only bought 2, tee tree and lemon. Then I read "when in doubt, use lavender". Love it!! Thanks for the giveaway!
Natural essential oils are so much better than the medicines that we get at pharmacys. Essentials oils don't have the numerous side effects that presciption drugs have either!
I love using essential oils for everything. Lavender is most favorite, but use tea tree, eucalyptus, rose, and citronella for many things. I am trying to get my sister to use them and this kit would be a great gift for her to get her started.
I'm interested in essential oils to improve my health. Ever since I moved up north my health has been going down the drain mainly due to allergies and seasonal depression. I have used a lavender/chamomile roll on before and it helped me sleep. Ever since Pintrest I have been rekindling my interest in herbs, and as a Massage Therapy student, I am learning the benefits of aromatherapy. When I finish school I want to create my own chemical free spa products and eventually own my own Massage business.
I'm interested in essential oils for multiple reasons: allergies, depression, fibromyalgia, energy, etc. I take a ton of pills and I'd love to find more natural remedies.
What I love about essential oils is how SIMPLE and NATURAL they are! (Plus they smell amazing!) Aromatherapy is something I believe STRONGLY in. There are natural remedies for any ailment in your body, but I think people have become too reliant on the convience of stopping at the pharmacy for perscription drugs, which only mask the problem and cause side effects. With essential oils, you're using something natural with no yucky synthetic chemicals, and for that, I can't find any reason NOT to use them. They are so versitile too, anything from household cleaning products, to fabric refreshers, to beauty products, to body and mind healing, the list goes on! So far, I've only personally used tea tree oil to help treat my acne but I'm REALLY excited to make a number of homemade products with essential oil in them.
I have used the peppermint on my sons bugbites (he puffs up pretty bad) I am starting to really get away from comercial products and really just get back to basics. I am a stay at home mom of 2 young boys (almost 4 and 2 1/2) Starting my own business (jams and jellies). It has been an adventure so far.
I am so sensitive to scents but want my house to smell good and after researching essentials I am in love! The are so good for you and have soo many uses! I am anxious to try some!
I had a headache one day. The kind that makes me immobile for up to three days. A friend gave me some peppermint oil and it was gone in five minutes. I would love to see what other ways my life improves with essential oils.
Well, I started with one oil for helping to clear my ears...I was hooked!! LOVE them!! Would love to try more!!
Herbs and the essential oils from them heal, scent, sanitize, clean, relieve, flavor and so many other things. What a lovely gift of God!
I have not yet used essential oils but have been researching them recently on the internet. I am becoming more and more interested in all natural ways to clean, heal and live. I am dying to try some of your recipes and tutorials about all the things I could do with essential oils. This could be a great beginning!
I have read so much about the amazing benefits of essential oils that I am desperate to give them a try. After researching, I know that there are cheaper essential oils available on the marker, but none appear to have the quality and costumer following that doTerra has. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity! P.S. I liked you on Facebook :)
I have used essential oils in cleaning and making deodorant, and have been reading about the most amazing health uses. We are trying to live a more natural lifestyle, without all the preservatives and artificial ingredients. I have been wanting to try doTerra!
I love using essential oils in my home made cleaning supplies and laundry soap and i'm all about aromatherapy.

Thank you camp wander for this opportunity to start on a journey of essential oils. I was so excited when I found your site!!! My family and I have recently started changing our lifestyle to the more natural way of life, no more store bought laundry or dishwashing detergents, we are now gardening and what a huge difference when you have fresh herbs and veggies!!
What a wonderful chance to start cleaning out the medicine cabinet with this chance of essential oils. Win or lose this is something we are going to incorporate into our lifestyle and stop poisoning ourselves with chemicals!! Thank you Camp Wander for all your post!!!
You're welcome!
Jacqui, I love doTERRA for that very reason...the purity. To all those just getting started with essential oils...all I ask is that you do your homework when buying them. Make sure there aren't any additives! You will be throwing money at a product that won't be effective. Remember, you get what you pay for when it comes to EO's.
So important to share! Hands on use of essential oils is the best way to learn how amazing they are :) That was a good friend!
Nice comment! A good reminder that while prescriptions may have their use, there is always a side effect. Give EO's a go...you can't overdose and there's no side effects. You can clean and scent your home with them while working on wellness. If you consider EO's versatility and effectiveness, they're a BARGAIN.
I've always been a "clean freak", and in the past that has meant buying and using all sorts of commercial products. I spent a TON of money! I recently had my first child, a baby girl, and have become concerned about the safety of using these products as well as her safety around them. I have also become concerned since several of my family members have been diagnosed with cancer and scleroderma, an autoimmune disorder. I have been trying to use " natural" remedies, and I have found many solutions recommend using essential oils. I would love to learn more about using oils, and from what I have heard and read, doTerra is one of the best!
Evie, doTERRA has an amazing oil blend for lifting and centering moods. I gave my sister, who struggles with depression, a bottle of Balance and she eventually was able to wean herself from the prescriptions she was taking for depression and anxiety.
As a Nana myself, I take great care to only expose my grand babies to natural and organic foods and products. Even in the garden and our lawn care too, we only use organic practices. I feel so satisfied knowing that our home is as chemical free as we can be.
I'd love to find more ways to use oils than the few ways I have used them in the past. Natural sounds much better to me!
Wow! Just found your blog via Pintrest. I am a big fan of natural products and would love to learn to make my own. Would love to try your essential oils. Thanks
I stumbled upon your blog indirectly through OneGoodThingbyJillee's blog. I just recently started using the essential oils and really love the results I am seeing. I love the "calming mist" that was recommended, and most of all, my children like it! Thank you so much for all of your tips!
Pamela
I’ve always been a huge fan of essential oils. Haven’t always had them around. I never know who has the best quality or how to tell. I’ve recently made the switch from chemicals to organic / natural / homemade cleaning products!! I can’t wait to incorporate oils.
I'd love to try them because for the last year I've been making homemade everything to end the store bought cycle and expense. There are so many things I'm itching to make with essential oils. Andrea
This is going to sound a little strange but I have started to use more natural products due to my rescue dogs allergies! I have started making my own cleaning products, Dog soap, and have used lavender to help him "calm" during long drives! Now I think it is time for me to start using them for Me! :-)
I have Fibromyalgia and have started using lavender essential oil in my bath to help me sleep. It really works!
Just have to say thanks for all of your amazing comments, I wish all of you could win :) I appreciate essential oil users sharing your experience here, it helps those thinking about jumping in feel more confident about their decision!
I am looking for more natural, green ways to clean my home and for relief from other ailments that my family deals with. My oldest son is autistic, so anything natural to help ease his discomforts would be amazing! I also have a 12-month-old who is into everything and I refuse to use harsh chemicals around him (or our Shih Tzu). Between "Camp Wander" and "One Good Thing", I have learned so much about safer alternatives!
So many of your posts feature amazing things to do with oils and I want to try them! The Vodka Lavendar Linen Spray and the Peppermint spider repellant especially. :) I was just wondering last week where I can buy them.
I've always loved essential oils for their wonderful aromas, but am now experimenting with them in other areas in an attempt to reduce toxic chemicals in our house. Love your blog posts with different ways to use them! And I like you on facebook too! ~Regi
I've written this three times but things aren't working out for me. Sorry if this appears more than once!
After reading one of your posts, I remembered that I used to use essential oils but had forgotten about them. I was at the lake and got a number of bites. My reaction to bites is worse than a lot of people. They get terribly red and swollen and are incredibly itchy! When I got home, I remembered my tea tree oil and applied it 2-3 times per day and the redness and swelling went away almost immediately and the itchiness was completely relieved. I'd love to have a sample pack to expand my knowledge and experience with essential oils. Thanks! Zaelia
I have some essential oils, but never really knew ways to use them! Thanks for info!
Looking in to essential oils, so many to choose from. Would love the chance to win.
Love this giveaway!
Like you on FB.
Great give away. I'm using the travel spray this week.
I just started using some basic oils and love them. O want to try making the mosquito spray.
I have been researching essential oils like a mad woman after your last several posts on the subject. Fascinating! Any suggestions for severe PMDD?
I make a lot of my own lotions and bath products. I love essential oils for them.
I would love to try oils, I am a registered nurse, but haven't really haven't tried oils as remedies but want to give them a try.
I just feel like there must be an easier, more natural way to deal with our human ailments! I would like to quit putting chemicals in my body.
I love lavender and lemon and peppermint! I can't wait to try all three!
I liked doTerra on FB.
I love your blog and have started learning about essential oils and their many uses. Now I just need to figure out how to tell the pure ones from the ones that have additives.
I've been researching essential oils for awhile and would love to actually try them now :)
I like camp wander on facebook.
Hi! I also love camp wander and "sister" sites... I have started using essential oils on my small dog who suffers from skin rashes and sensitivities from bites, fleas, ticks... Anyways,I mix a recipe up for a soothing rinse and soak his bandana in an oil of choice to repel the critters after bath-time for him. Sometimes he smells like a cupcake but if it does it's job, I can handle it!! Thanks again for ALL the info and humor you provide!!
I have started using essential oils as I makeover all the products in my home - cleaning products, cosmetics, anything and everything I can. I have had great success with lavender and tea tree oil so far, and would love to expand my essential oil horizons!
I love using essential oils for cleaning, sickness, and homemade soaps and beauty products.
I am very concerned about side effects from traditional drugs---plus I love, love, love lavender----wish I could grow it!
I want to be able to make all the wonderful things I see on your blog and Pinterest which require essential oils.
I have tried everything possible for my chronic insomnia and panic attacks (except essential oils), and nothing has helped....except for one prescribed medication that knocks me out. But being a single mom, I can't take it because Im worried that if something happened in the middle of the night, I wouldn't even budge! P.S....I LOVE your blog!
Katrina
I love essential oils! They have so many uses. Currently my favorite use for lavender is to put it in a spray bottle with water and spray any areas you do not want spiders (our backyard has SO many) and they will leave without having to hurt or kill anything. Spiders smell through their feet and do not like the smell of many essential oils such as peppermint, eucalyptus, etc. It works great for ants, too!
Have been wanting to try essential oils for awhile now, but wasn't sure which ones to purchase. This would be a great way to 'try out' three!
I discovered essential oils on your blog and am now officially obsessed. I am waiting on my beeswax pastilles from Amazon to make the gardeners salve. Would be overjoyed to win the threesome! Thanks for sharing!
I would like to expand my knowledge of essential oils. I use a few now, but want to keep learning.
Rebecca, I love essential oils too! Thanks for all of the helpful tips. I have never tried doTerra, but will certainly be looking into purchasing this brand. Thanks!
Right now I don't use any essential oils, but I really want to learn more about them.
Hi, I'm very interested in starting to use them. Over the last 7 months, I've been nursing my horse back from Liver failure thru alternative medicine. It's workinig wonderfly on him & I'm not trying to find things to help myself in my life to live more naturally.
Thanks!
I would live to win this giveaway! My main reason for this is, I want to rid my house of nasty chemicals! This was never really a concern until the birth of my second baby. She has some serious allergies and skin sensitivities and we learned the hard way that I can't touch her after cleaning with Lysol. I am a bit overwhelmed when it comes to where to start so, this giveaway would be just what I need! Thanks for the giveaway :)
Have you tried other brands as well?
Only Auracacia. Really the purity is the only reason I buy doTERRA. Every batch of essential oil is tested 2 ways, by mass spectrometry and gas chromatography.
We have just started using essential oils but I'm in love already. I'm constantly amazed at the huge variety of uses. Like many others, I'm trying to reduce the number of chemicals/additives from my household. We've made huge strides in our foods and cleaning. I'm still learning about the health care uses. Thanks for the wonderful giveaway!
2ND doTERRA GIVEAWAY BEGINS!! Good luck and thanks in advance for sharing your ideas about essential oils :)
I'm interested in a more natural approach to simple problems..
Love essential oils...just made a sleepy toy for my granddaughter -- stuffed animal with 2 drops lavender oil in the stuffing and squish it around to disperse it a bit. She went to sleep easily and wasn't restless like she usually is. Daughter is already going to get some carrier oil and lavender for at home to use on little one's feet now to make sleepy time much easier!!
Already 'liked' on facebook :-)
I like all products that are made from natural ingredients! Would love to give yours a try !
I've been impressed with the stories about essential oils, and I would like to try them. I have migraines, allergies, and fibromyalgia, and I'd love to try EOs for any of these.
I am a huge fan of essential oils. Everyone should be! I need this giveaway because I am out of Lavender and I'm out of Lemon...and I don't have peppermint! AND....I want to try doTERRA oils! Pick me!!! THANK YOU!
I have so enjoyed reading your blog and learning how to use essential oils on everything from cleaning, to helping my family live a healthier chemical free life. I would love to give these essential oils a try. Thank you
Love using essential oils! I use tea tree in our conditioner to treat dry flaky scalp, lavender in my rinse cycle for bed linens and as a room spray, eucalyptus, peppermint, and tea tree in my homemade bug repellent! I find a new use every week!
As I said the last giveaway, I am trying to get my sister to use essential oils and this would be a great start for her. I have used it for everything. I got my mom on Eucalyptus for her cold and if she has a migraine because she cannot use anything with petroleum in it as she is on oxygen. She loves it.
I've never tried essential oils before. Since reading your blog I have wanted to try allllllll of your ideas!
I really want to try essential oils!! Can you recommend a good reference that will tell me how to use these natural wonders?
I would love to try these. Years ago i used essential oils to make bath salts as gifts. It was great. I really want to try your recipes for gift giving
I'm a mom of 3 wonderful kiddos ages 4 1/2, 18m & 8m, and I am BUSY!!!! I don't like using chemicals that can be harmful to my little ones running/crawling around. I love that lavender helps relax them for naps & bed time. I would LOVE to use the essential oils around the house to keep things nice & clean & smelling pretty without the chemicals :)
Very curious about essential oils. Would love to learn more about them and I figure this is a good place to do that. Thanks for being so generous.
Love love essential oils. Have heard so much about do terra would love to try!
Homemade soap and location for eczema...
Pinterest has "sparked" my interest in essential oils. I would love to try some!
I would love to learn more about using essential oils in our everyday lives. I have recently found many home remedies that use essential oils. Love the idea but haven't started using them yet.
I want to learn to have a cleaner, healthier home! I've had it with bringing harmful chemicals into our home which is HORRIBLE for our health & rarely "do what they are suppose to do!!!!!!!! Also, I LOVE the smell of essential oils! I use essential oils to make my own "Lamp Fuel"! :0)
Love the natural benefits of essential oils and the fact that nobody in my house is allergic to them! I would love to make new rice heat packs scented with lavender essential oil for this coming winter :) xx
New to your blog and look forward to learning to use essential oils.
I'm interested in them because I've been hearing all about the great benefits to using essential oils from cleaning your home to using on self or family when sick.
I love your blog, and your sister's. I follow you both wherever I can! I am interested in essential oils because I am trying hard to be more eco friendly, including making my own cleaners etc. I also want to just learn more and explore. I've seen and heard that essential oils can make all the difference in our health and well being and being a stressed out military wife, I need all the health I can get!!
I love using EO's bc it lessens the need for medicine around my house. (and it smells so yummy)
I'm new to essential oils and beginning to get excited about using them. I would like to get away from using things with chemicals and toxic ingredients. I try to read everything I come across regarding the use of essential oils. Your giveaway combination of lavendar, lemon, and peppermint seem to be a great combination to get started with!
It doesn't show my profile for some reason... I logged in...

I would love these EO because I'm trying to save money and be more "green" by making my own laundry detergent and other cleaners/fresheners. The Lemon would be perfect!!!
I would love to try them. I have read how much they can help. I suffer from acid reflux, High BP, diabetes and other problems. I just need less stress in my life.
Thanks for the chance.
Rebecca: I have "pinned" do many great ideas using essential oils but haven't found any of the oils yet so I'd live to win to get me started! Thanks for doing this give-a-way!!
I am new to essential oils but have started playing around with body scrubs and a few other ideas. My sister is an esthetics instructor and has been helping me. Would love to win this time! Thanks Rebecca.
HELP! I am fascinated at the prospect of getting off of antidepressants (I use for Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome after being raped 3 yrs ago *PTSS), sleeping pills, and caffeine! I'm open to and welcome the thought of healing my body and spirit naturally!I feel like I'm "out of whack" and desperately want to feel balance again in my life, body, and spirit.
I would love to win this and bring more health into my life and family. My father died from cancer almost 14 years ago, my aunt survived the same cancer my dad (her brother) died from, my mom has HBP and my sister and I both suffer from depression and anxiety, and my 9 year old son has ADHD. I'm trying to find a healthier way of living in hopes that one day I could live life naturally without medication. I liked you on FB as well.
Would love to try these oils, just started the natural/organic way. Trying to rid myself and family of all the chemicals that have become excepted, causing so many health issues. On the right path to controlling what we put in and on our bodies.
I made homemade laundry detergent this weekend with bergamont coriander essential oil. It smells wonderful!
I love using EO's instead of warming tarts and candles because they do not make my Cockatoo, Fred, sick. He will literally vomit like a child with strong scents. I also use them in reed diffusers and my laundry.
I swear by aroamatherphy & eo's! Lavender & Peppermint are good for so many things. Lavender & Peppermint is also good for relieving headache's (seperate ways). I've never used lemon, so I would love to try.
I'm new to essential oils, and would love to try them. Thanks for offering the giveaway again!
I have always been interested in natural/organic ways. I cloth diapered my children, made their own baby food when they were little,but with life crazy at times, haven't done anything like that in years, my children are now 14,13,9. I recently had surgery, and stumbled on an articles about doterra, and E.O. was very interested, looking for ways to recover and feel better nautrally. I found your blog on pinterest. I really have enjoyed reading it.
I am interested in trying because I have seen so many good uses for them and I have 2 little boys at home and I am looking into more of a natural way of doing things.
I have started my own herb and vegetable garden adventure this year and have been inspired by the wonderful fragrances to explore essential oils. Jillee has recommended these oils and i would absolutely feel blessed to try them for myself and my family. Thank you for your generosity!
I am interested in learning more about essential oils and their healing properties.
I had never used essential oils until recently. I have become increasingly allergic to products with chemicals, so I have started making my own...well, everything. In learning how to make these things, I have had to take a crash course in essential oils. I have loved what I have learned, and I am looking forward to learning more. doTerra oils are very interesting to me, as they seem to have a quality that is unsurpassed.
Thanks for the opportunity for a second chance drawing. I love your blog and will be plannng a DIY wedding for my daughter Aug of 2013. I've already pinned of bunch of your great ideas and making our own nautral body products for the shower/wedding favors is exciting.
After moving into our new home as a child, the town near us put in a medical waste incinerator....Once that happened, almost everyone in the area came down with some form of cancer and respiratory problem (I came down with asthma). Once I had my children we hightailed it to the country. I have researched everything and only trust a few companies, if that. I now turn to DIY products. I experiment/use lemon, thyme and peppermint frequently. Would love to try out lavender too. Thank you for your kindness and generosity to your readers. Liked (loved) you on FB... :)
I've been interested in using essential oils in large part to finding all of your awesome home remedies using them! I'm always looking for ways to keep chemicals away from my babies, and I'm astounded at the multiple ways essential oils can improve health, mind & spirit. Thanks for this opportunity, glad I found you on.Pinterest & FB!
Love your blog. Would love to try some of the many ideas you and Jillee have had using essential oils.
I love the idea of using essential oils over OTC and Rx products when possible. I think this could be a really great option for my family.I'm so happy to have come across your blog!
I just got a bottle of PastTense specifically for my frequent migraines. I used it 3 times this past week. As soon as I feel one coming on I rub PastTense on my tension spots where I feel it (usually upper right forehead & my neck on the back right side). Within 10 mins all signs of migraine have passed. I'm hooked & I cannot wait to try more doTerra EO's.
I love essential oils and I'm always looking for more ways to use them. Your blog is GREAT, I'm so glad I found it! I've "liked" you on Facebook, "pinned" you and bookmarked this page as well.
I'm interested in using them for health- both sickness and just everyday! I love good smells!
I am interested in trying the essential oils because I am just plain tired of all the unhealthy chemicals found in so many cleaning supplies, insect repellents, and other things. I have 2 little boys, one who is autistic, and I am looking for more ways to "go green" in order to keep them safe and healthy!
I would love to try essential oils for many reasons! I suffer from chronic migraines and I would love to experiment with them (I have read peppermint in particular can help), to see if they cold bring some relief. I also have two young children and I try very hard to lead a more natural life and call on natural remedies when possible so I really think that essential oils could help support our lifestyle! :) Thank you for doing the giveaway!!
I'm very interested in using essential oils, as I've never used them before. I have heard so much about different uses for them and could really use a lot of those benefits! My first step would be to go back to some of these do-it-yourself tutorials I wanted to try and try them out! c:
I am interested in using essential oil for a lot of my homemade items. That include body wash, hand soap, wallflowers, laundry and body scrub are just a few. I also interested in using them for health purposes as well. I would rather give my family natural remedies than anything pill or drug related. My fiance get horrendous migraines and is a disabled vet. I never tried essential oils to help with either migraines or his pain but I heard a lot bout what they can do and I hope that maybe it will help him.
Well, I suffer from chronic pain and I just had my neck fused from C 4 to 7 and recovering has not gone well. On top of it all I have Fibromyalgia, which has made recovering even worse. Then my landlord is asking us to move August 19th. I can't pack, I can't lift, I can't do anything, I am having a great deal of inflammation and swelling. It seems to be effecting my joints in my hands and my feet as well. We don't have the money for another place because the man really didn't give us fair warning, so I am having to go into a room and my dogs are going with family. My life is very stressful now. I am wondering if any of the oils could help with the inflammation, muscles aches and the stress. I am a diabetic and I have adrenal insufficiency, plus I take medicine for my thyroid. I also take medicine for esophageal spams and a distressed stomach. Needless to say I am a mess. Anything you might recommend to help me would be appreciated. Right now I am so stress I have clear blisters on the palms of my hands. I am guessing it from stress. I live with pain 24/7, I never get a minute off and I know there is nothing out there for that. Most pain medications leave me with terrible side effects and I can't take but one and only small dose, otherwise I can't sleep at night. It keeps me wide awake! Well, that enough about me. Thanks in advance. I hope you are having a good day. Freda
Oh, my I am reading about people with migraines and I have them too, I was in the bed with them 2 or more weeks a month and nothing helps until a doctor prescribed Topmax. I know it's not an oil or a natural product, but it sure did save my life. I no longer get headaches, at least not migraines. She started me off with 25 mg and I just take 50 mg. and I do great! I have not had any side effect from the drug up to this point and I have taken this drug now for about 5 years. I hope this might help someone. My husband is a vet and had headaches too and they put him on this too and it worked for him too. He took so many aspirins he no longer has stomach lining. Don't take aspirins for migraines in the long run it will kill your stomach. Take it from someone who is 59 and he is 64. Freda

Every blog and diy I find this summer has doterra essential oils! I just started more at home crafts, projects and diy this summer. I am so excited to be using these and can't wait to try this fabulous brand that everyone LOVES!.

I'm looking forward to making my own stuff, I just need to do it! Thanks!
I've been researching the different essential oils and am ready to start trying some of them!
I just started to make my own cleaning supplies and I am trying to do more natural things for/with my family and classroom.
Looking for alternatives safe ways to use mosquito repelent and sunblock for my girl I found your blog, and I like it, I am eager to start using some of your recipes. Thanks for your collaboration and ideas and recipes. Ale Beal.
One of my philosophies has always been "you are never too old to learn and try something new." I am a 73 year old, still young at heart. I'm in partial remission from CLL, a type of leukemia. I've had three rounds of chemo, but I'm doing great right now and have lots of energy. No one knows the reasons for developing CLL, but it is believed chemicals can be one of the reasons for developing the disease. I, and my family members, are aware of the overabundance of chemicals in our lives and what excessive chemicals do to us and to our planet. For many years we discussed the problems, but did little to change our ways. However, recently I decided to make some changes. So, I began reading about and experimenting with making many of the everyday items we use, such as detergents, cleaners and personal products. I found recipes to use vinegar, soda, rubbing alcohol, salt, hydrogen peroxide, essential oils, etc., to get great results without strong chemicals. (Many of the recipes come from your website and Lillee's) I even discovered many of the safe cleaning items were used years ago by my sweet mama and I didn't learn to use them. Then, I followed several "recipes" for cleaning products. I tested them, approved them and then shared a couple of cleaners with my granddaughter who is 24. She loves the products and has asked me for more "recipes". Now I am reading and trying to learn about essential oils so I can add them to cleaning, personal care, and health improvement products. I plan to make Christmas gifts using essential oils for my daughter, daughter-in-law, and three granddaughters. I also plan to develop a recipe book for each of them so they can continue to make homemade, chemical-free products. Then their lives can be healthier, greener and they can save money! Winning some basic essential oils would be greatly appreciated. It will help not only me, but five other families in our quest to improve our lives and to care for our planet.
I am going to start using essential oils around the house and in our life to better them. I have found so many benefits with using essential oils. The health benefits are very important to me as I get older.
I love essential oils I have been using them for awhile now I have never tried peppermint yet. That is going to be my next oil I buy. Thank you so much for the giveaway if I win then I can try peppermint.
I've been pinning several DIY sites for body scrubs and green cleaners most called for essential oils. I'm trying to save myself some money & be happier knowing I'm doing my little bit to save the world. And I love the smell of Lavender! :0)
For a couple of years now I have been trying to move away from chemical based products. Since then, my asthmatic grandson has shown a huge difference with his attacks...I have not tried the lavender or peppermint but would love to try.

I don't know much about essential oils, but see a lot of uses on Pinterest, so anxious to give them a try!
While I have yet to use essential oils, I already know I'm going to love them! I recently lost my job (after 10 years) and have been focusing on homemade cleaners/lotions/scrubs vs. store-bought. At first it was due to necessity (lack of funds) but now I prefer my own! Many of the "recipes" I find call for oils but I haven't used them because of the added cost. Since it is just my 6-year-old and myself, every penny counts. She is a huge advocate for greener living and a huge inspiration to me. We are both looking forward to experimenting with essential oils.
This year I have been getting very into making things myself. Then I lost my job recently and now it's becoming a bit of a necessity. Essential oils are kinda pricey and it would be awesome to be able to win some!
I love essential oils. Recently we found out my husband is allergic to fabric softener, which then extended into febreeze and all other fabric and air fresheners. So I quickly, with the help of Jillee, learned to make my own. I now make just about every cleaner in my house and use essential oils in all of them. I have never bought these essential oils just because they are a little pricey, but have heard wonderful things.
I'm interested in them because, well, I'm already planning Christmas presents. I'm going to be making everything homemade. I'm going to make lotions and bath fizzies and many many more things like that. However, being the poor college student I am (which is also why I'm making homemade gifts instead of buying) I don't have money for, well, much of anything. So I really need these to make my presents great!
I don't really use essential oils but I would love to give them a try. I think I could really benefits from their different healing qualities.
I love essential oils. I make a lot of homemade skin products and use them in my cleaning business. I also use them for myself and my kids. There are so many things they can be used for. I also use them to scent the house.
I really have been wanting to try doterra essential oils. I have anxiety, insomnia, asthma, eczema and other things. Nothing else really works that well for some of these ailments and I'm hoping essential oils are the answer. However I am newly married And very very poor, so I can't afford to buy anything. It wouldf be amazing to win! :)
I sent the email under my yahoo account. ckschaefer
I just started using essential oils and started with Lavender. So far, I LOVE it! I would like to try this brand a the different oils! Thanks!
I had never heard of essential oils until I got married. My mother and sisters in law are huge on using them and after reading all about them, I'm totally sold! I love the smell and the health benefits!
I would love to start using essential oils to rid my house of nasty chemicals! Both my kids have sensitive skin and I have to be careful what I use.
I have used essential oils for their scents to help with sleep or stress relief - but not for health benefits. I would love to try them and learn.
I have been trying to make my own cleaning products lately and would also like to start using essential oils for the health benefits. I have not bought any yet but it is on my to do list. These would be a great start for things I want to do with oils. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
Hi, Rebecca! I found your blog via Pinterest. I was looking for some DYI cleaning products. I have been wanting to try essential oils but was afraid to buy online and didn't know what to buy at the store. Thanks for breaking down the benefits of these.
My fur babies gave me the motivation to go green. One of them suffers from allergies so we switched to Eco friendly alternatives. My next goal is to start making her homemade shampoo. Thanks for all the great information!!! Franz
My kids make me want to be more green. I am working hard at taking chemicals out of our lives and my first step was cleaners, which is how I started with some essential oils. I actually contacted doTerra about a consultant in my area and no one has contacted me. :( I want to learn more and keep using the oils I am using (Lavender, Tea Tree and Grapefruit).
What a great giveaway! I only have tea tree oil right now (love it!), but I've been dying to get some lavender since my neighbor lent me some to help with a small burn on my daughter. We were truly stunned at how quickly it healed her skin! Amazing.
