Our Story
My name is Missy, aka "The Oil Sister". I have a passion for natural health and wellness.
As a Health & Physical Education Teacher, I understand the value of teaching as a way of improving overall community health. The value of proper nutrition, exercise, and rest, cannot be understated. This is not where the journey should end however.
We need to be better “educated” on the products and ingredients we interact with everyday. It is imperative that we strive to bring only the best into our homes. This is why I feel that the only way to “control” what you are exposed to on a daily basis is to make most of the products yourself! I am talking DIY here.
There is a ton of information being distributed on natural health and overall environmental toxins. The dangers of many toxic substances such as phthalates, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), herbicides, pesticides, "natural" and artificial fragrances, BPA, BPS, heavy metals, flame retardants, and emulsifiers are becoming becoming more apparent with the latest investigative research. The list of insidious toxins is ever increasing and may make you feel helpless!
Do not worry, I am here to help! My focus is on creating the Essentially Well LLC community as an education resource for natural health and wellness. Yes, most of our recipes and ideas typically include the use of essential oils and natural resources listed on my supplies page.
Unfortunately, you probably are already experiencing a significant amount of exposure to these toxins and harsh ingredients on a daily basis. Let us teach you how to dramatically decrease your exposure to these common foes.

Our Community
Most people I talk to are interested in improving the quality of their life and they often believe the best way to do so is by improving their health. There seems to be one common problem... all the information out there is very confusing!
My belief is that improving your health does not have to be that difficult. Do not think of it as an overnight success story. Improving the quality of your life and your health is meant to be an accumulation of positive habits.
This accumulation implies that these positive habits will accrue over time. Make no mistake about it, this is not a passive process. You need to be involved and you need to be interested in improving the quality of your life.
So how can we do this? I believe we have to be aware of our exposures. From the food that we eat to the exercise we do (or do not) perform. From the air that we breath to the soap that we use. From the container that holds our water to the deodorant that we apply daily. Ingredients matter. Especially the ones that we interact with everyday.
I created Essentially Well LLC as a platform to share with you methods for making your own products. Getting you started with simple cooking recipes. Even learn how to make your own deodorant. I want good health to be a simple and lifelong effort full of learning and acquired knowledge!
