[Livingontheland] When the body says no

[Guest guest]

Yes Sorry I put org instead of com. If you sign up for their newsletter they

send out 50% off coupons every so often. I order what I need then. Their

prices are still way better than YL. Oils are great quality. As are the

other products. I love the facial serum and shampoos.

I went to aromaland.org and was denied access

I went to aromaland.com and looked--these seem pretty pricy also.
