Curious about Essential Oils? Want to learn what they’re all about?

Here’s your chance.

On Saturday, April 7, 2018 from 12-4 pm, come to the Fletcher Street Depot for an afternoon of learning about essential oils, oil-infused products, and the benefits of ditching the toxins in your home and living a chemical free life.

The event is hosted by Jennie Handrich and Jenn Stillwagon, who “are passionate about living a chemical free lifestyle and love to educate others so that they too can live a life of wellness.”

According to Handrich,” the average person applies 300 chemicals to their body every single day… and most are from four things: soap, makeup, shampoo, and hair-care.” Similarly in the home, the biggest pollutants are fabric softener, dryer sheets, air freshener plug-ins, and candles. From dish soap to processed food, she adds, “you are literally poisoning your family everyday with the stuff that you can’t pronounce in your home.”

Essential oils are a better way for self and home care. “They are totally chemical free, steam-distilled or cold-pressed from pure plants. There’s nothing in them but that one oil, whether it be tangerine, peppermint, or lemon,” Handrich explains. “There are over a million uses for essential oils: cleaning supplies, personal care products like toothpaste and deodorant, in the diffuser, or oil-infused nutritional supplements.”

Event participants will learn about those uses at April 7th’s Young Living Live Your Passion Spring Rally. Both members and non-members are invited. There will be new member enrollment specials, product demonstrations, a Thieves table, and any information you may need about essential oils and their use,  including for kids and pets.

Tickets are $15, and the first 20 tickets purchased will receive a free swag bag.
