  1. Mountain Rose is very respected for herbs...I think that Doris and David Land got a lot of essential oils from them when they were in my class and the quality was very good (the ones I was able to experience with my 'nose'). Good job checking this one out!! This is a wonderful service...I will share this with my peeps!!

  2. Thank you Shellie! I can't wait to hear back from them but so far I love them! The only thing that would make them ***** is an e-mail back and when i sample their oils. Gotta test it with my nose as well otherwise I wouldn't be a good detective ;).
