Lemon essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of Citrus limon. Lemon essential oil promotes clarity of thought and purpose and has a purifying citrus scent that is invigorating, enhancing, and warming and is known as one of the most fragrant essential oils.
PRIMARY BENEFITS: • D-limonene supports a normal immune system – Lemon contains d-limonene, an antioxidant that has been linked to healthy immune system function.
• Promotes clarity of thought and purpose
• Energizes and stimulates the mind and body – Studies show that inhaling lemon can actually counter occasional feelings of depression.
• Opens and releases emotional blocks
• Supports skin health – it may be useful for cleansing the skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Who Should Use Lemon Essential Oil?
• Those looking for focus and clarity when the mind feels cloudy or confused
• Anyone looking to maintain a healthy immune system
• Those seeking an uplifting and energizing boost throughout the day

So you want to order oils but not sure where to begin? By ordering a starter kit from Young Living, you become a Wholesale Member. That means you can purchase oils at a discounted cost, and if you choose, you can share oils with friends & family as an Independent Distributor. It's that simple!
I recommend the Premium Kit because it gives you SO many products, (11 oils, a diffuser, and tons of samples) and they are so versatile. This is the kit I started my essential oils journey with.

As part of The Pretty Oil Team, I have been blessed with two amazing 'coaches' who are leading me on my journey into essential oils. Nicole and Lindsey are just the sweetest, most honest and encouraging gals, and I am super excited to grow with their support.
Last week, they published my blog post on why I joined Young Living, and how I have started down the path to a healthier, happier, more product concious state! You can read it, here!
Been following my journey and want to try the starter kit, too? Simple instructions in the Order Oils tab, above. Or email me with any questions! (lee.erikad@gmail.com)
If it was good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.
And, man, is it good.
Here are the top three ways I have incorporated Young Living's Frankincense oil into my daily ritual:
1. Intense night-time moisturizer
Mix 1 tablespoon coconut oil (I like Trader Joe's organic virgin coconut oil found here) with 2-3 drops frankincense oil. Stir, slather, swoon.
2. Spot treatment for scars. Specifically my c-section scar; apply directly to area, no carrier oil required.
3. Diffused in our living room. Frankincense fights stress and anxiety, headaches, and cold symptoms. With the weather (and my babies current leap which is causing highly emotional kiddos...), I need help in all of these areas. Frankincense does the trick and works fast!

I've gotten so many questions since friends have found out I am on an essential oils journey. I haven't been very public about it, but I am ready to be. I am working to bring my family and my home to a healthier, happier, more product-conscious state of mind. And I am really proud of that.
If you are just now hearing about essential oils and wondering where to start, I was in your position not very long ago. A quick google search will bring up hundreds of reputable pages to aid your research... but it can be very, very overwhelming. Where to begin? What oils to try?
I'll be honest, I did quite a bit of research to decide what brand of essential oil to try. And, everything pointed me to Young Living. They offer pure oils and an extensive amount of reference material that I can look up when I am curious about an oil... right up my alley. Digging deeper, I found that they were offering a starter kit that included 11 of the most popular oils, a home diffuser and tons of samples for a very low price. It was a great opportunity for me to get a wide variety of oils and begin my journey. So I took it!
Exploring with essential oils has been super fun, and easier that I thought. I am looking forward to enhancing my knowledge of oils and continuing to transition my family from commercial products to natural essential oils. I'll share my journey with you, and am happy to answer any questions you may have about essential oils. Here are a few of our go-to oils... and yep, they are all in the starter kit!
Lemon Oil:
1. Mix 3-5 drops in a spray bottle of water as a counter top cleaner.
2. A few drops in an ice cold glass of water as an instant refresher.
3. Diffused to invigorate your mind, body, and promote energy.
Frankincense:
1. I had a c-section when I delivered my twins 1 year ago. I've been using frankincense on my scar and have seen a huge reduction in its visibility. Previously I had tried mederma and retinol with minimal results.
2. I also struggled with acne when pregnant. I dab a tiny amount on blemish scars on my face and am watching the spots lighten daily.
Peace and Calming:
1. This has been the most common oil I've diffused in our house. When we begin our nighttime routine with the babies, I turn on the diffuser to stimulate calming scents in our home. I've been blessed with two babies who sleep consistently 7pm-7am, and I am a huge believer in routine, calming rituals, and that good sleep habits are an essential component to happy, healthy babies.
