My name is Amy Wells (aka oILISTA aMY). I moved to Denver from a little farming community in Indiana after I did an internship here and fell in love with the Colorado mountains. That was nearly 14 years ago and I still love the mountains just as much today as I did when I first saw them.

I started this blog to share a little bit about my adventures in this life with fiancé Sam (aka My Man Sam) and also to share about my love of essential oils. I started using essential oils about 4 years ago to help with my seasonal allergies. I was looking for a more natural alternative to taking prescription and OTC medications that left me drowsy and miserable still. That is when I discovered essential oils and our lives have not been the same since. I started out with a few oils to use for various annoyances and then started making cleaning concoctions and other blends and that is when Sam nicknamed me oILISTA aMY! We still love the oils, love learning about them and discovering new ways to use them in our daily lives.

I hope to also share some of our favorite things from our fave hikes to vacation spots to books and movies and spots to eat.
