The oil and crafting journey...

Its silly isn't it? To ramble on about me and my journey? No. Well ok. Sometime shortly after Eric and moved to Rolling Meadows in 2008 I went to a essential oil class and wanted to live without so many chemicals and use the oils derived from plants in daily life. I became very intrigued about how to help myself and others 🤔

I healed myself from a sinus infection with essential oils during a very bad springtime allergy bout. Oregano and Tea Tree Oil in a steam pot and ingested cured my sinus infection. I thought WOW 👏 this is amazing. I continued on my path of discovery.

So I am all in with the oils and stop using household cleaners and am paying more attention to not using products that have 20 letters in the description 🙃.

I create a polish and use less expensive oils to make a counter cleaner. I use baking soda to clean the tub, sink and toliet and vinegar and water to clean floors. I start using oils in some baking and cooking such as peppermint brownies, cilantro oil in the salsa and basil oil in spaghetti. I make my own homemade toliet wipes.

Invited to several oil classes and learning about what oils work best for me and getting into sharing with people. I was kinda being pushed into selling and having classes. Emotional response oils were introduced and I had a few people over and we made inhalers and customized rollers for each person. It didn't really take off like I thought it would.

We would face a horrible foot injury for Eric and I really had a hard time working at all and caring for him. We had a disabled roommate as well. I abandon hopes on having a stable oil teaching business. My work was volatile with personnel changes and us moving again so I had to quit driving so far and continue to use my oils personally and share where I could. I would make gifts for people with oils in them and continue to make homemade bug repellant and cook with them. I would also face a horrible foot injury that is just now calmed down enough to make life somewhat easier.
