Known for their commitment to purity and quality, these oils can seamlessly integrate into your daily routine to elevate your physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

What Are Essential Oils?

Essential oils are highly concentrated plant extracts that capture the natural scent and beneficial properties of their source. Whether it’s the invigorating aroma of lemon or the soothing qualities of lavender, these oils offer versatile uses for health and home.
Young Living stands out in the essential oil industry with its Seed to Seal® quality commitment. This rigorous standard ensures that every bottle of oil is pure, potent, and free of synthetic additives—so you can trust what you’re bringing into your home.

Everyday Uses for Essential Oils

1. A Restful Night’s Sleep Struggling to wind down after a long day? Essential oils like Lavender and Peace & Calming® can create a tranquil bedtime routine. Diffuse these oils in your bedroom or mix a few drops with a carrier oil to create a calming massage blend.
2. Boost Your Energy Mornings can be tough, but a little Peppermint or Citrus Fresh™ can invigorate your senses. Add a drop of these oils to your shower for an energizing steam or diffuse them during your morning routine to set a vibrant tone for the day.
3. Natural Cleaning Solutions Essential oils aren’t just for personal care—they’re excellent for keeping your home fresh and toxin-free. Thieves® essential oil blend is a powerhouse for cleaning. Mix it with water for an all-purpose cleaner or add a few drops to a spray bottle for a natural air freshener.
4. Emotional Support Life’s challenges can leave you feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Oils like Frankincense and Stress Away® are perfect for grounding and emotional balance. Apply them to pulse points or diffuse them during meditation or prayer for a calming experience.
5. DIY Wellness Products Why buy expensive, chemical-laden products when you can make your own? Create customized roller blends, bath salts, or skincare products with essential oils. For example, mix Tea Tree oil with a carrier oil for a simple blemish treatment, or blend Lavender and Eucalyptus for a relaxing bath soak.

Meet Reisa Abercrombie

 
As a wife and mom of three, I’ve always been drawn 
to finding meaningful connections between health, 
wellness, and the joys of everyday life. Over the years,
I’ve discovered how deeply intertwined our mind,
body, and soul are and how intentional choices can 
create a lasting impact on our families and communities.

I grew up in northern Minnesota as the oldest of four 
children, developing a love for creativity and connection that led me to the Twin Cities. There, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from Northwestern 
College in St. Paul and worked in the design field before transitioning to my most cherished role—raising my 
family.

My husband, Andrew, and I have been married for nearly 13 years. Together, with our three children (ages 11, 6, and 5), we embraced a dream of rural living by moving back to northern Minnesota in 2022. Just outside of Grand Rapids, we’ve created a home filled with a large garden, a flock of chickens, and plenty of acreage for our kids to explore and grow.

Our faith and connection to our local church community play an integral role in our lives. When we’re not gardening, bow hunting, or enjoying a campfire, you’ll find us in our workshop. There, we pour our hearts into creating handcrafted wooden products—from unique cribbage and charcuterie boards to earrings and essential oil holders. Each piece reflects our passion for craftsmanship and the beauty of natural living.

Life is an ongoing journey of growth and learning, and I’m honored to share this path with you. Whether it’s through handcrafted goods or a shared passion for intentional living, I’m here to connect, learn, and grow together with you.

Thank you for your grace, support, and for allowing us to be part of your journey. Let’s build something beautiful—together.
