DIY Day!

Good morning, lovelies! It has been an absolutely crazy week! we have celebrated the holidays with family 4 different times and let me tell you, I am frazzled and tired. I have been learning a lot about essential oils and how useful they can be in running a home and have found a few recipes for relaxation.

I sent a few blends off as gifts this year and they are getting rave reviews! I am using them around the house and they are really helping me be calmer and more focused. I will also include one for keeping your home germ free for this cold and flu season.

Soothing Bath Blend:
9 drops of tangerine EO
7 drops of lavender EO
2 drops of chamomile EO
I put these in a 10mL amber glass bottle and fill the rest of the way up with carrier oil (I have been using grapeseed). Drip a few drops into a hot bath and relax!

Energy Blend:
12 drops rosemary EO
8 drops lemon EO
Put in 10mL amber glass bottle and fill with carrier oil. Dab on temples for extra energy. I also rub some on the insides of my wrists (mostly because I like the way it smells.. :P) This could also be added to a vinegar/water solution for cleaning.


Thieves Blend:
10 drops rosemary EO
20 drops lavender EO
15 drops lemon eucalyptus EO
15 drops peppermint EO
25 drops orange EO
15 drops clove bud EO
With this one, I didn't add a carrier to the EOs. You can use it as a cleaning spray by adding one drop per each ounce of water in a spray bottle. Add EO blend first, then water. Shake vigorously before each use.

I found lots of other uses for Thieves Blend EO here.


Young Living oils would be my preference if I were made of money, I am using Eden's Garden oils for now. I am happy with the quality for the price, though I don't take them internally.

Brightest Blessings!
