Who am I… my story.
My Name is Adriana A. Eguia. I am originally form Mexico and came to live to Los Angeles, CA in 1999 with my now husband. Although I came with a college degree in business administration, I followed my passion for cooking and enrolled in the California school of culinary arts. Later, I started my catering business after gaining experience from working at some recognized restaurants and hotels.
A couple of years after I got blessed with my son and daughter, I decided to slow down my catering business to better care for them, as a full time mom.

What went wrong…
I always thanked God that my kids were born healthy and were thriving. But they had some little issues, like skin rashes and extra sensitivity.
My first-born son, was otherwise healthy, but at about 1 or 2 years old, he would have super irritated and itchy patches of skin, so unbearable that I had to continuously use an OTC (over the counter) cortisone creams to alleviate his skin.
Later on the pediatrician labeled it as eczema… and said he would outgrow it with time.
His scalp was healthy, until one time I had to use a treatment for lice, an OTC recommended by the nurse at my pediatricians office. It was so strong, that it ruined his scalp for over a year. He had severe dandruff and, unaware of the strong chemicals, I was using strong anti-dandruff shampoos with no results.
On the other hand,
My daughter, since baby used to have patches of cracked skin on her hands and cheeks that nothing was able to help. I tried everything on her, from Vaseline to honey… you name it. Nothing worked.
She also used to have terrible diaper rashes, so bad that many times I just didn’t know what else to do, trying every single ointment and home remedy that I learned.
Also by her 4th birthday she had had 4 Urinary track infections… that was not normal for a little girl
At that time I saw a video that really started to make me THINK… maybe it is the chemicals in the products that I use which are causing my kids skin problems…
When the 4th UTI happened, I took my daughter once again to the pediatrician and when she suggested: “Do not use soap to wash her private parts… use only water or baking soda and do not use the tub to bathe her with bubbles, use only the shower” then I made the click.
This is the video that started it all…

My transformation began…
I got home and started questioning myself: what was in the soap, bath bubbles, lotions, shampoo, powder, diaper wipes, diapers, laundry products and everything else touching my kids skin that was making it ill? The answer came… synthetic chemicals.
I started looking for the ingredients that I needed to avoid, READING LABLES and substituting all the well-known and very well marketed personal and cleaning products in my house for healthier ones that were a bit more expensive but that didn’t contain most of these chemicals.
At the same time I started to learn about the therapeutic properties of essential oils. Young Living was my first encounter here in the States, and I am so grateful for that, because they really are the best quality in the market.
You see, when you don’t know about essential oil, all of them may seem the same. And the labels can be very misleading. But now that I have been researching, and studying about them for over 3 years, I know that this brand is just the best choice for SO MANY reasons besides the purity…

A new purpose in life has come.
Through my newsletters in this website, I will be sharing a lot of valuable information to help maintain your health and tips for baby steps to a new lifestyle
I have found so many benefits using Young Living essential oils and products, that I am developing a separate website: myYLfamily.com with product information, tutorials and resources for those who want to learn more and incorporate them into their lives too.
I really believe that nature gives us ALL that wee need to stay healthy, but the problem is that people don’t know it or they don’t believe it because marketing has convinced that there is nothing wrong by using their processed food and products infused with synthetic chemicals and additives. After all they taste good, smell good, and are convenient.

My mission:
My mission is to spread the word about chemical awareness, and about the power of essential oils!
Inspire others to a lifestyle change so they can see their lives transformed with better health and empower them with resources so they can educate themselves and take responsibility for their own health.

My why…
Because It is devastating to see so many ill people, young and old that are taking many medications because that is their only option.
Because I really saw a transformation in the health of my family with these changes and because I saw tremendous benefits using Young Living essential oils for pretty much EVERY THING, we experienced fewer doctor visits, way fewer sickness, and when bad viruses hit home, we were up and running again just in a few days without visiting the drugstore.
I want to spread seeds of change among young families because our children are the hope for a better and healthier world. So let’s teach them something DIFFERENT from what we have learned. It is devastating to see so many ill people, young and old taking many medications, because that is the only option they know.
I want to share because I really saw a transformation in the health of my family with these changes and so many benefits using Young Living essential oils for pretty much EVERY THING. We experienced fewer doctor visits, way fewer sickness, and when bad viruses hit home, we were up and running again just in a few days without visiting the drugstore.
