One Word... doTERRA

Excuse me for a minute while I braid my hair into an awesome headband, sing a little kumbaya and dance around a tree flashing the peace sign. :) KIDDING... but seriously though I need to take a few minutes to express my absolute LOVE for doTERRA!

I know that some of you are probably thinking I have turned into one of those "crazy" people - and maybe I have , I am cool with that - BUT you have to hear me out. My sweet little 5 month old has had a digestion problems since he was like 2 months old. ALWAYS constipated, to the point where he was screaming in pain - and even had his poor little bum bleeding at times. Now, as with most mothers - seeing either of my boys in pain is the absolute worst. I had called the pediatrician a handful of times, and was given lots of different things to try, but none of them worked. On Easter weekend we were at Matts brothers house when Parker started having a complete meltdown. He was in so much pain :( he was screaming and had giant tears pouring down his face. I felt totally and utterly helpless. There was nothing I could do but sit there massaging his belly and give him kisses (not that either of those helped him out). It was absolutely awful. I had started talking to the lovely Andrea Riggs, and she said "I have an oil for that". I was honestly so desperate to make my poor baby feel better I probably would have been willing to cut off my right arm to help him. Thank GOODNESS I got to keep my right arm AND I got something WAY more valuable than just a help for Parkers constipation. 

I have been hearing about doTERRA for a while now - and honestly, I was on the fence about it. Not that I didn't believe in it - but I didn't exactly BELIEVE in it.. haha if that makes any sense at all. I had been to a few doTERRA parties and gotten lots of info, but it never really seemed like something I was interested in or needed at the time. Now flash forward to Easter Sunday, its a different story. We ended up heading over to Charles and Andreas house to get some oil for Parker. I also scored big because she gave me some other oils, for my anxiety, and some calming oils for Bostin (that boy can go from silly to obnoxious and destructive in the blink of an eye) We rubbed the oil on Parkers feet, and then that night when we got home I put some more on his feet, and on his belly. In less than 24 hours I watched as Parker went from miserable, and constipated - to completely emptying out his system (trying to spare awful details here). I am not kidding - by the next morning we already had success. Then he continued to "succeed" (if you will) FOUR MORE TIMES that day. I couldn't believe it. 
I put that oil on his feet still at least once a day - and you know what?? NOT ONCE since that night has he been constipated or screaming out in pain. I could not believe it. I honestly wanted to run over to Andreas house and kiss her feet. Matthew (who has always been a skeptic of the oils) said (and I quote) "okay, I am absolutely a believer in that oil - I have never seen so many crappy diapers in one day" I have been using the oils everyday since then and almost immediately ordered my own supply of oils. They have not only helped out Parker, but myself, Bostin and Matt. I AM IN LOVE. 
I have been using the oils on Bostin when he starts getting crazy and at first he did not like it - but now?? He loves it. Whenever he starts getting defiant, obnoxious and crazy - I have him lie down on the couch and I massage the oil into his feet, a little into his ears and on his chest. Not only does the oil work - but it also has me stopping whatever I am doing, and taking 10-15 min to just hangout and spend time with Bostin, and teach him to just slow down and take it easy. When was the last time you just slowed down, and took 15 min to yourself (or with your kid, spouse or whoever) and just CHILLED - no TV, no Facebook  no PHONE - just relaxed, add the amazing healing properties of the doTERRA oils and you are in absolute heaven. I also started putting the lavender oil on Bostin and Paker before bed and now Bostin asks for it. It is amazing. 

All of us have about a million and 10 things on our plate at a time. We have health stress, money stress, job stress, school stress, kid stress, relationship stress WHATEVER. However, in the words of Andrea, THERE IS AN OIL FOR THAT! I'm not kidding :) 

I had the amazing pleasure of going today and having some Aromatouch therapy done and it was absolutely and fantastic!! I am hoping to get certified so that I can do Aromatouch and share the amazing powers of these oils. 
I can't express how much I am loving them, or the amazing thing they have done in such a short amount of time. If you are curious at all about the oils let me know! I know hearing from me how amazing they are isn't everything, you need to experience it YOURSELF. I want everyone to have access to this amazing stuff. I know for me I was absolutely in the mindset that I was helpless. Anytime something was going on with my kids it was immediately take them to the Dr. How amazing I feel to know that I don't have to be in a panic calling the Dr next time my kid can't take a dump. Don't get me wrong, there is always a time and a place for Dr's and we do need them and modern medicine. But NOT always - It honestly scares me how quick doctors are now to just prescribe some highly addictive med before they even really know what the problem is. 

Anyway, off my soapbox - If you want info PLEASE don't hesitate to email me or call me or text me or whatever, you can come over to my house and I can show you some of my oils and what they do!!! They are amazing and EVERYONE should be able to have these at their fingertips!!!
