Relax - Room and Bedtime Spray

I know it has been a while since I posted but as soon as I tried this combination and the wonderful results I have felt from it, I had to share :)

Life has been on the stressful side and sleeping and I have not been friends
So I needed to find some oils to help me :)

I have been obsessed with Fennel lately, for me it is helping me feel more balanced and well rounded, more down to earth, bonus it smells amazing, though I do not like the taste of licorice, I love the smell :)   Fennel has been helping but just not enough so Stress Away to the rescue :)

For this spray
I used a bottle I found at the dollar tree - Love saving money :)

I added
5 Drops of Fennel
6 Drops of Stress Away
filled it 3/4 with Vodka (this is the cheap stuff found on the bottom shelf)
and the rest with distilled water
Put the top back on and shake :)
Then spray to your hearts content :)

I love to spray it on my pillows - I have also not only had some great night sleep some wonderful dreams! :)

Information about the oils

Young living has a combination oil - Stress Away
One of my favorites, it is the oil that actually turned me on to Young Living.
Here is the information about it from their site: Young Living’s Stress Away™ essential oil blend is a natural solution created to combat normal stresses that creep into everyday life. Stress Away is the first product to contain the unique stress-relieving combination of lime and vanilla pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. Stress Away also includes copaiba and lavender to reduce mental rigidity and restore equilibrium. Featuring powerful plant constituents, such as the cedrol found in cedarwood and the eugenol that occurs naturally in vanilla, Stress Away can help induce relaxation and reduce occasional nervous tension.*

The other is Fennel - I have been using this one a lot
Here is the information about it from their site
Fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) has a sweet, earthy, anise-like aroma that is energizing, vitalizing, and balancing. It is stimulating to the circulatory, glandular, respiratory, and digestive systems.* It also may support feelings of well-being during the menstrual cycle.* Fennel has an approximate ORAC of 2,383,680 (TE/L). TE/L is expressed as micromole Trolox equivalent per liter. EarthKosher Certified

Coffee Body Scrub

Oh how Wonderfully Yummy is this :)

I have tried a few different kinds of Coffee Scrubs and they are all good but I wanted something amazing, something that I could not only tell the difference in my skin but that my scenes had their own WOW factor :)

Here it is

• 1 1/4 cup ground coffee
• 1 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup grapeseed oil
• 1/4 cup honey
• 8 Drops Fennel Essential Oil 

Using a big bowl, mix it all together - I really Enjoyed that part :)
Apply to moist skin using a circular motion - That refreshing reinvigorating feeling :)
Your body is going to love you for that!!! :)

Difuse with Style

Today - a great way to carry a scent with you while looking fabulous
Using a locket on a necklace :)

I found this locket on sale at +Michaels Stores  plus I had a coupon :)
You can find lockets like these at Craft Stores or Bead Stores - They are priced very reasonably and you can find one that is your style. You can find a lot of these types of locket diffusers for sale on line - places like Esty - But they cost so much more for the exact same thing, plus shipping.
I am an instant gratification kind of girl if I want something I hate waiting for it.

I bought some felt and cut it into circles
Thoughts about using felt - it is a great product to use for essential oil
Just keep in mind a lot of oils are not clear - some have a color to them and will discolor the felt
I stay with darker colors, Dark Blues, Browns and Black is what I tend to see have the lest about of discoloration issues.

The felt squares are extremely inexpensive and you can cut out a lot of diffusing "patches"
Because of that if I wanted to change scents I would just toss the patch I was currently using and add oils to the new one, another idea is to get a few different colors of felt and have a color for each scent.

So simple anyone can do this :)

Cut the felt to the correct size
Put a drop or 2 of the Essential Oil you would like to use on to the felt

Put the felt into the locket
Close the locket ;)

Wear and enjoy :)

When the sent evaporates - you can add a drop or two more to refresh the scent
Or just put in a new patch and a new scent :)  

Recently I have been obsessed with Fennel - I love the Aromatic Influence it provides
"It influences and increases Longevity, Courage, and Purification. It Stimulates sympathetic nervous system activity"  Quoted from Reference Guide for Essential Oils by Connie and Alan Higley
