To oil, or not to oil... that is the question.

Attended Karen's YL party last weekend and got QUITE interested in a few oils/ oil blends. Considered signing up as a member so that I can buy the oils at a better price. Compare that to buying via Sali or Karen.

One big issue I have is the price. As with any other MLM product, the prices are QUITE inflated. A lot. But I did feel some difference to my well being after trying out the oils. Last night diffused Peppermint + Lavender + Grapefruit and I think it helped my sinuses a bit.

I was ding-donging between getting the Basic Plus Starter Kit or Premium Kit; price difference is RM400, more or less. Of course the Premium kit comes with 5ml bottles of stuff instead of 1ml samples. But still, Rm750 is a lot of money to spend on oils...

The thing I like about YL is that it's therapeutic grade. Nice to know where I can get them if necessary. But do I NEED therapeutic grade all the time? I don't think so. There ARE a few blends that I'm interested in, but they're of course EXPENSIVE. VERY THE expensive, ok?

I have been getting stuff from Soap Artisan and I think the quality is not so bad. But it's not for therapy lah. As the name implies, the shop specialises in making soaps and skincare stuff.

In the end, I decided to buy a few things from SA online. Can just go pick it up in One U later. Got Frankincense, lavender and 100ml Eucaplyptus for only RM126.40. Huge difference. I think this will do for the time being. If I need therapeutic grade, I know where to buy them.

I'm considering the idea of making homemade beauty products for sale too... See la. Might help to boost my nest egg. God knows I need to save up!!!
