Lets smell good!

[Shekinah Lawrence]

Hello everyone and welcome to the group! So I've been filling out my collection of essential oils and and I want to use these wonderful smelling things on everything!

Here's a couple of ideas for the new year:

Take a relaxing bath with Epsom salt and add a few drops of tea tree oil and or sweet orange oil and you emerge feeling like a queen! (Or king) add your favorite oil!

Take your a bit of peppermint oil and add it to a carrier oil like avocado oil and to wake up the sinuses, a little on the chest where the nose can smell it.

Found a cool link on Pinterest that shows how to make a great linen spray that I'll post later. Not a body product but still a cool use for the oils....

Any other ideas or good oil mixtures? Do share!

I am just learning about essential oils and am glad to learn all I can.   I appreciate your posts.

1/2 cup epsom salts,

1/2 cup milk powder

8-10 drops of your favourite essential oil, I used a mix of lavender and chamomile.  Don't add essential oil until you get into the bath.  Relax and unwind for 20-3= minutes.  Heaven

This sounds so nice! Are we talking the same powder milk we use in cooking?

[Dianne Christenson]

yes, the same powdered milk.  If you can get goats milk powder it is especially nice

I made perfume by adding EO to water (shake before every use, but the water soaks up the scent anyway) - I put in about 100ml water: 4 drops lavender, 6 drops Ylang Ylang, 1 drop ginger, 1 drop black pepper, 1 drop mirh, 2 drops mandarin

That sounds so cool! I read a blog elsewhere where to add the oil to vodka to kind of break it down without losing the scent. If you let it sit for like a week then add it to distilled water it claims you won't have to shake it. Any thoughts?

It's possible... though I'm not so keen of having alcohol on my body. And it's really no biggie to shake before you use.
I have the one I made since New Year's and the smell is still unchanged.
