Essential Oils, Anyone?

One of my co-workers introduced me to Jane.com about a year ago. Each day, there are daily deals and new specials to see. Things are super cheap and are generally great quality. The sellers on Jane are typically Etsy shop owners. Usually when I order something, I generally receive a business card with their Etsy page info. I’ve gotten myself a bit of a Jane addiction I’d say – each day I look at the site (they have a great app too!) and usually end up purchasing something.

Recently, I’ve been wondering about essential oils. My manager swears by them and is always concocting crazy combos and uses a diffuser in her office. She always talks about how great they are and how wonderful they make her feel. So, a couple of weeks ago, there was a deal on Jane for some essential oils. I decided to purchase some for myself to try. There are different sellers who offer different options, however the seller that day was offering a two for the price of one deal. I chose to order Lavender and Lemon essential oils. As you can see in the picture, they came with little business card sized cards that offer uses and information on what each of the oils can be used for.

So, I finally received my order in the mail yesterday. They are super tiny little bottles – so if you’re looking to just try the oils for the very first time or you’re not sure what to do or how to use them, this is a great way to start. I believe they are .5oz each. Not a bad deal – they were about $10 total including shipping and compared to the price of full-sized bottles this was a good deal!

Last night I decided to give the Lavender a try. I dropped a bit on a cotton ball, and placed it beside me while I slept. The lavender (as you can see on the card that came with it) is supposed to help with stress and basically be calming. Great for sleeping! I really do feel like it worked. I have a very stressful job and I quite often worry about my health from all of the stress. Using the oil made me feel calmer and breathing in the aroma truly made a difference. Now, I’m not saying that I didn’t feel stressed at ALL any longer, but it definitely made enough of a difference in my mood for me to notice.

I haven’t used the Lemon just yet, but I’ll update when I do. Lemon is supposed to be good for cleaning the air and removing bacteria so I may take this one with me to work to try.

Overall, I’m very pleased with the results. If you’re looking to try some oils, but don’t want to invest in the larger bottles or expensive name brands, then I highly recommend looking on Jane or even Etsy to find a deal from a seller who offers smaller trial sized bottles.
