that! Thanks so much for sharing!
I was a distributor with another oils company for many years. For the
most part, had been quite satisfied with the products. Was not looking
for another company (well, not consciously looking anyway). Learned
about doTERRA and because I knew Justin, Dr. Hill, and Emily, was
curious about the company and the oils. Got the basic kit so I could
check them out. Was truly shocked at how much better I liked them!
(The biggie was when I applied lavender to the back of my neck and
developed NO rash!) Switched companies almost immediately. Haven't
looked back since!
