Our First Give Away!

a Rafflecopter giveaway



doTERRA is the best company I have ever found for essential oils. They are the purest oils on the market. As my oil collection grew towards doTERRA products I started comparing them to my essential oils from other brands and was shocked at the difference. I could smell, see and feel the difference in quality. I believe that part of walking a path of the wise is learning to care for our bodies aided by nature. Amazing plants and herbs like lavender are such a wonderful gift from our Mother Earth and it is foolish to not tap into the this incredible bounty.

In this Give Away one lucky someone will be gifted a free bottle of lavender essential oil and a bottle of coconut oil to use as a base. A $56 value. There are so many ways to enter to win be sure to check them all out and keep up with Earth Craft!

Diluted with almond oil, [or other carrier oil] it can be applied to larger areas of sunburn, or for massaging tense muscles. Internally or externally, lavender eases nervous tension and stress-related headaches, insomnia, digestive problems and emotional disturbance.
