Happy May Ya’ll!!!  I want to start this month off with a spotlight on Vetiver!! 

With a unique, exotic aroma, Vetiver oil is ideal for massage therapy and a calming routine before going to sleep.  It can also be rubbed on the feet before bedtime to prepare for a restful night’s sleep. 

Uses:

• Use Vetiver oil as a massage oil.
• Take a warm bath with a few drops of Vetiver essential oil for deep relaxation.
• Diffuse Vetiver oil.
• Use a toothpick to help get the desired amount out of the container if Vetiver oil is too thick to get out of the bottle.  A little goes a long way. 

If you’re in love with the smell of Vetiver like I do, you will love these diffuser recipes.

With various beautifying purposes, Geranium essential oil promotes healthy, glowing skin and hair, while providing a sweet, floral aroma.

Hey ya’ll!! This week I have thinking about deep cleaning in my kitchen.  I don’t know about y’all, but this is something I dread doing, but love to have done, once I am finished.  

This time, I’m really focused on using eco friendly products and essential oils in my cleaning.  Grease and grime gets everywhere in the kitchen.  That’s probably why the kitchen is one of the hardest rooms in the whole house to clean.  Using essential oils really helps cut through all this, sanitizes, and makes your whole kitchen smell amazing!!

Here are some of the oils I like to use in my cleaning…

Oregano Oil-damp & dark places

On Guard Oil-counters, kitchen, & all purpose

Tea Tree Oil-toilets, sinks, showers, washing machine odor, makeup brushes, & exercise mats

Lemon Oil-toilets, skinks, showers, floors, stainless steel, & wood

Lavender Oil-deodorizing, laundry, & carpets

Peppermint Oil-windows, mirrors, & pest...

Hey ya’ll!!  I recently did a social media post on “How to Keep Your Face Mask Clean” and I thought “what a great blog post”!!  

We’re all wearing them so we might as well talk about them and maybe with a little essential oil magic, we can make it a little more bearable.  Retailers around the world have taken the first step by designing cute and fashionable masks.  Now lets up our mask game by adding essential oils to help boost immune support and smell great! 

Keeping your mask clean will not only sanitize your mask, but also help you breath better, promote calm feelings, and smell amazing!  

I know having to wear a mask can make me feel anxious and sometime down right claustrophobic.  So I added some calming oils to my mask spray.  This helps me feel relaxed and centered.

Don’t like smelling your own breath all the time?  I know I don’t.  Essential oils in your mask spray will leave...
