TPM Bonus - David Jones - Essential Oils 101 Aug 12, 2017

Show notes

TPM Bonus time! If you've followed along with us for a while now, you know that we love essential oils and, in fact, we facilitate and online wellness community outside of the podcast. In our bonus episodes (which come out about once a monty) we expound upon that part of our lives and that is what we're doing today. If wellness and essential oils aren't your thing, feel free to move along, but even if they are not your thing we've crafted this episode with everyone in mind and think that there's something here for everyone. Today we thought we'd bring in David Jones, Eryn's husband who is a chemist and former essential oil skeptic to speak to do a little essential oil 101 talk and speak to the "science-y" side of essential oils and even to some of the skeptics out there. We love it when we can combine wellness and practical minimalism!
