The Winning Entry

August 4, 2011

We want to thank everyone who took the time to participate in the Essential 7 blog contest. The number of quality responses overwhelmed us and made it difficult to pick just one winner. It was exciting to see how many people’s lives have been improved by the power of essential oils. We would like to share our favorite entries:
Winning entry:
I have been using Young Living essential oils for more than a year now and will never go back. I’m a 22-year-old dance teacher who has seen her share of injuries. I have had a bad hip for about five years now and was told I would need an expensive operation to correct it.
I then turned to Young Living’s PanAway®. It was the best thing ever and now my hip doesn’t limit my activity level. I don’t go anywhere without it and my students are always asking to borrow it. Thanks, Young Living!

Runner up:
My husband was a non-believer in the power of the oils until one day when he came home from work in an extra grumpy mood. The combination of work, money, and our two noisy children pushed him over the edge. I was not going to let his grumpiness rub off on me, so I added a couple of drops of Peace and Calming® to our diffuser and to my neck without saying a word to him. All the while, my hubby was in the kitchen grumpily muttering about options for dinner and dirty dishes piled in the sink.
After about five minutes—the time it took for the scent to make it to the kitchen—he started humming under his breath and then he came up behind me and said “I don’t think I got a kiss when I got home.” I giggled under my breath and we went on to have a peaceful and calming evening. Did I mention our children didn’t fuss the rest of the evening? I told him later that night what I had done and he admitted that Young Living Essential oils “might” actually work!
