Today, we welcome back and host a giveaway from Mama Loves Oils!
I am so thankful to have been introduced to Young Living Essential Oils through this sponsor, several years ago. Simply, these oils have improved my family’s health. I’ve had a lot of fun learning which oils to use for the regularly scheduled stream of bonks and illnesses that befall our family of four (and those who frequent our home). Our favorite resources: this book and MLO’s blog.
our medicine cabinet
Pan Away for headaches and muscle pain, peppermint for fevers, Valor and Peace & Calming for sweet dreams, lemon in every water bottle we own (anti-viral, anti-fungal, tastes awesome), Thieves used preventatively in the winter, RC on my kids’ chests to help with respiratory gunk…there are so many we love and use regularly.
Lavender just might be the most-used oil in our home. It’s our “band aid.” We apply it to every scrape, bruise, bug bite, burn that comes our way and I cannot get over its magic powers.Β And,Β Mama Loves Oils is giving away a lavender oil to one lucky duck! Leave a comment for a chance to win. Winner randomly selected on Tuesday, July 10. Additionally, you all get 10% your purchases! To redeem your discount, email Erika ([email protected]) or visit her store (829 S. Higgins).

Thanks for sharing, Nici! I love haring about products that have stood the test of family use. Lavender oil is one my favorites, too!
Wow…who knew that oils had such magical powers. I’m assuming you burn them as well as use topically? I will definitely need to try this with my little ones.
I bought my first set of oils a few months ago and lavender is absolutely my go to, it’s nearly gone already.
Loving Ruby’s sun bleached blonde hair lately π
Thank you for the opportunity! Fingers crossed. π
I Will be making a purchase from her today. Typically we don’t do any medication unless absolutely necessary, which happened a few months ago. I hope I can find an oil replacement for two meds that I must take daily now. Thanks for the chance to win as well!!
Awesome! I am running low on peppermint oil, but I’m also trying to branch out and use a variety of oils. This would be so great!
I got a terrible sunburn on July 4, and among the remedies suggested by friends were some weird-sounding but natural remedies. It got me thinking about your use of oils. I would definitely love to try these oils for natural remedies in my home.
We use coconut oil a lot in our house, but I’d love to try it out! Thanks.
Charlie’s mommy: We ingest some and use topically, we don’t burn them. I have been wanting to invest in a diffuser for quite some time!
Jessica: Oh lavender is MAGIC on burns. Last winter Ruby touched the side of my pressure cooker. It was terrible. I doused her hand in lavender and it never even blistered!
Would love to give it a go. This all sounds so interesting.
Would love to give it a shot! Am always looking for morre natural products for my family.
Well, I’d love to give them a try. Our current medicine cabinet is a sad, sad affair. Yours looks a lot more fun!
oil me up!!
I gave these oils a shot the last time they were a sponsor and they have CHANGED MY LIFE!!!!! I couldn’t live with out them!
Woohoo yes please!
Lavender is much loved here, what with loading the wood stove all winter long! The scariest looking burn goes away quickly with lavender while the little “oh, nevermind that” ones that don’t get lavender blister and last!
Also great for tension headaches if you catch them early!
The whole world of essential oils seems so overwhelming to me. Thanks for the great resources!
I’ve used essential oils in my classroom to help calm/energize my kids after lunch. Seems to work pretty well, but the added bonus is that the oils hide the post-lunch stinkiness of middle school boys.
I love lavendar oil! it smells so yummy! I am excited to read your favorite resources about oils and how they can help my family be healthy! I have been wanting to learn more about oils but haven’t really known where to look. Thanks for sharing!
Lavendar oil is among my favorites as well! I’d love to learn more about essential oils though- I’m off to check out MLO’s blog & see what I can find!
Thanks for sharing this source that your family obviously loves!
We love our oils, too! I use a lot of lavender and tea tree around our place. π
LOVE these oils. We have and use RC, Thieves and Lemon. Slowly, but surely working towards having many more in our medicine cabinet!
We are heading out camping this weekend, the 4th day consecutive day of camping for my kids and with all the bug bites I would love to find something that would soothe them!
Excellent. I have always wanted to get into more ‘natural’ healing products. I will definately be checking out the store!!
Those sound wonderful!! I will have to check our her store.
Wwo! I’d love to try a product like that!
Our hospital just started a therapeutic lavender oil protocol. Currently only for aromatherapy but every medicine cabinet stocks little vials of oil now. SO cool! I also swear by it for burns. I haven’t had a single blister since!
Wow, the lavender oil sounds magical! I’d love to try it!
I’m very interested learning more about in the powers of the natural oils. Lavender oil is supposed to be wonderful for burns too. Did your mom ever use any oils on your family growing up?
I will definitely check out here store and the blog.
Thanks Nici!
Jennifer
I’m very interested in learning to use oils instead of turning to over the counter medicine. This will be a great step in the right direction.
[email protected]
what a great giveaway! i’ll have to check them out.
Headed to the site now…I have been wanting to stock our medicine cabinet with some more natural remedies! π
I just read through a bunch of the posts on the Mama Loves Oils blog, and LOVE it! I’m really excited to research this some more and decide which oils to invest in to begin learning about using oils as a way to boost my health.
I found the information on pregnancy really interesting as I’m hoping to become a midwife, and really want to learn more about essential oils, herbal remedies and other natural health-boosting techniques. Thanks for sharing this!!!
I love my Young Living oils! I have used them throughout my entire pregnancy (almost 30 weeks now) to treat the lovely nausea, indigestion, and joint pain that accompanies it. It is amazing to have these as a resource especially during a time when medications are generally not the best idea! My daughter also asks for them especially when it comes to calming her down before bed and “keeping” her fr having nightmares. I seriously could go on and on about them! Lavender is fantastic but I have also stocked up on my “mom’s medicine cabinet” ones that work for ear aches, colds, teething, etc. We are ready for whatever comes! π

Another lavender oil lover here. Sprinkle it on my pillow every night. Very interested in your lemon oil tip. Thank you Nici. Off to check out MLO’s site.
I’ve always been intrigued by essential oils but have never tried any. Lavendar is one of my favorite scents, though – I have some in my closet, and it smells wonderful!
Holla!!
You’ve definitely piqued my interest – this is the second time this week I’ve heard specifically about the benefits of essential oils. Would love to try some out π
Thank you for this resource. I love oils too and use often but have not tried for my own health,just enjoyment. I’ll be remedying that quickly!
I always laugh at how giveaways bring ants out of the woodwork! We love essential oils. Haven’t heard of this brand before through, but its always fun to try something new!
Love this! I especially love lavender oil. Just puttin’ it out there…I WANT TO WIN! I WANT TO WIN! I WANT TO WIN! There..that feels better. Thanks, Nici!!
We’ve gotten into oils, too! Not to the extent you have, but I’m inspired. Lavender oil makes toilet cleaning almost pleasant. And tea tree oil makes my homemade deodorant more effective! I love the idea of lemon oil in water!
Have you tried any tinctures? My sis in law made a sleepy time one for my restless sleeper, and I’m pretty sure it works! In fact, it helped a lot in night weaning!
Neat information!! We’re using all natural cleaning ingredients these days but it’s still so new that I haven’t had a chance to learn about the medicinal oils. I’d love to though!! I’m going to head over to the website and see where to start!! Thanks!!! π
This is a great giveaway! I love natural products for my family!
sounds like a good plan to me! I can smell the oils from here :o)
Believe oil is my favorite- Reminds me of home!!
Love oils! Thanks for this post. Can’t beat lavender to make it all better π
I have to admit that I am a bit of a skeptic; I used tea tree oil to treat a nail fungus (I know – eww!) but only medication worked after a year of trying. However, I am an environmental engineer and would love to find natural methods to remedy my family’s ailments versus putting unnecessary meds down the toilet which can eventually cycle back around to drinking water. Maybe I should give other oils a chance π
Peace and Calming is my favorite YL oil. It works!
I would love to learn more about oils. Heading over to her blog now! Thanks!
Monica
OH I love love love Lavender and will have to check these oils out. The most frequent oil used for things like that in my home is coconut oil. I cook with it, use it on my face and body for moisturizer, and thinks it heals booboos faster than anything. I also put it on scratches to prevent scars. It is my ‘windex.” π XO
Like a previous commenter, we use coconut oil but these sound wonderful. Would love to try…
Thanks for the giveaway! I am wanting to get started in essential oils. Also I voted for your business on the previous post but my comment would not come through-good luck!
Just used some lavender oil to get my little guy ready for bed the other night. We are getting to ready to move to a farm this December and will have tons of land to grow herbs and veggies – can’t wait to try to make some of my own. In the mean time, I will most definitely be buying some. Thanks!
Thanks for introducing us to this new sponsor! I love the smell of lavender oil… nothing better!
Read this post the other day but had to return when I had a chance to comment! I adore this sponsor of yours, you introduced me to a wider use of essential oils the first time this sponsor came on board. Now, I am making all my own household cleaning solutions with essential oils, baking soda and castile soap (mostly). And I *just* (like, last week) purchased a book on using essential oils for human health. Thanks for this!
Sounds fab! I would love to try these out. And your house transformation is so inspiring!
Which one works best for teething?
We also love Young Living Oils and use them for alot of things. A friend of mine introduced me to them a few years ago… They also serve as perfume and air freshener for me (mix a few drops in a spray bottle with water and spray away) it freshens furniture, rooms and rugs. Love your blog too. It is inspiring!
I would love to win some lavender oil! how fragrant π
Will need to try these π
i am always so intrigued by your info that you provide about oils. hmmm. must.put.that.on.my.to.do.list.
Acmeorange: one that is recommended is diluted theives oil. Also Exodus II and clove oil. Gentle Babies is a FANTASTIC book for Momma’s because it usually has several suggestions for things and appropriate dilution ratios for infants and children.
I love the scent of lavender! I use rose oil with water as a skin toner and sweet orange oil as a refreshing mist in the summer, but have yet to try lavender!
Sounds like something I’d love to try!!
Thanks! I have been wanting to learn more about oils since you’ve commented from time to time about your oil uses. Thanks, I hope I win, but even I don’t I now know where to start.
I love love some essential oils. We don’t use them much in our house, but I’d love to start giving it a try!
Thanks!
would love to try some oils, as we very rarely use “conventional” meds in our home
Haven’t used oils very much but I am intrigued! Thanks for sharing:)
Clearly we need some of these in our bump prone household – anything to complement the constant flow of arnica!
Yep – great resource. I love and use Tea Tree for blemishes, lavender for all kinds of stuff, coconut for skin care…anyway – yes! I’m off to check out MLO’s blog.
I love lavender!
Hey Hey Hey! Love this and love lavender!
I add essential oils to our unscented laundry detergent and vinegar mop water and sprinkle it on the vacuum cleaner bag before vacuuming. I also mix lavender oil with manuka honey to put on cuts.
I have recently discovered oils and am hooked. Right now lavender, peppermint, and lemon are my favorites but I am eager to try more!
my mama loves oils! i’m literally sitting with her on the oregon coast as she’s visiting from mt and she brought out her box of essential oils to put some frankincense and lavender on my sunburn!
lavender is my fave! priceless if you ask me. π
