Resolution 4: Replace Household Products with Oils

It’s Essential Oils Resolutions Week 4!!!  How are you doing?  Starting to get in a grove?  I know I am!!  Using at least one oil a day???  Night counts…but day and night is even better!! 

So I am super excited about our 4th resolution… 

REPLACE HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS WITH ESSENTIAL OILS!!!

This is a great way to use essential oils every day without having to think about it. 

Below is a list of ways that I have replaced my old products with all natural products containing essential oils. 

In the shower:  I use doTERRA’s shampoo and conditioner which offer an invigorating complex of essential oils but you can make your own at home.  Just add a couple drops to a shampoo you already have.  Super easy right!

Cleaning supplies: Many of us use homemade natural cleaners.  Why not add a few drops of essential oils to those as well.  

Multi Purpose Cleaner Recipe:In a glass spray bottle combine,

• 10 drops of Lemon oil
• 125ml White Vinegar  
• 125ml Water

Toilet Cleaner Recipe:In a glass spray bottle combine,

• 5 drops of Lemon oil
• 5 drops of On Guard
• 5 drops of Tea Tree
• 125ml White Vinegar  
• 125ml Water

Room Sprays:  Room sprays are wonderful!  They are natural deodorizers, air purifiers, and kill bacteria.  Plus your home will smell amazing!!  I love using a linen spray. It makes me so happy and my bed smells amazing.  Plus my sleep is amazing!!
