FROM ANTI-CRUNCHY TO OIL HUFFING, BOOCH BREWING, NATURAL PRODUCT USING, WELLNESS GEEK
I had always chuckled at the idea of being crunchy--that wasn't me. I was NORMAL. Debatable. Much of my anti-crunchiness could be credited to a few "run-ins" with some v v opinionated crunchy people & in my stubbornness I didn't want to hear a thing that they had to say.
But fast forward in time to September 2017, I was struggling with PCOS & infertility (for four years, to be exact). And having run the gamut of tests, medications, trainers, diets & workouts--I was looking for ANYthing that would improve my symptoms & our lifestyle. And if that meant figuring out what a lifestyle of wellness for myself, my family, and my home looked like, then yes, that's what I was going to do.
I had started to learn about all of the hidden ingredients in regular household items (ingredients that disrupt hormones & fill your body with toxins). I started to learn how important it was to eat/move/surround yourself with things that supported your body rather than worked against it.
In my research, I found a company that I could trust to provide me with the best, purest products to help me on this healthier endeavor.
So, I grabbed my very first starter kit with Young Living. I had no idea what I was doing but I DID know that I wanted to DO BETTER.
It only made sense to start by using something completely natural--oils & other products--to start "ditching & switching" our lives to be as healthy & toxin free as possible.
It wasn't an immediate change, over the years I learned more, adjusted, tweaked, and experimented.
Oils & natural products were just a part (a big part, but a part) of the whole wellness lifestyle that came to be. Chiropractor appointments, supplements, regular exercise, a diet that supports our bodies...it's all part of supporting our body & helping it to work the way that it's supposed to.
I swore I'd never be crunchy, but here we are...kinda crunchy and better for it.
Now I lead my OILFOLK fam of 40+ sweet friends & amazing women in this kinda crunchy lifestyle and I LOVE it.
PS. A few months after that kit arrived at my doorstep & the toxic products hit the curb--I started to heal, lose weight, gain control of my symptoms, and a positive pregnancy test popped up soon after. (I'm not a Dr and I would never claim that my results can be yours, but the knowledge of how your body works & helping it function at it's best is SO important--and yes, for me, it was life altering.)
