How can a car museum be a multi-generational … [Read more...]

It seems like so many people that I know are into essential oils. I was first introduced to dōTERRA Essential Oils by a family member who lives out of state. I was having pain in my right elbow due to too much computer work. It was starting to feel tingly & numb down my arm, even to my hands! She had me use a Deep Blue essential oil from dōTERRA, as well as their Frankincense essential oil. Those two oils, combined with the Deep Blue cream … [Read more...]
