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

My Relax and Be Happy Roll On :)

These past few weeks have been nuts, to put it lightly (Sorry for the lack of posts)

One of my sons had to have brain surgery - the same one I had but, more of a preemptive strike then life saving, he is doing amazing now you could never tell he had surgery (minus the thin scar on the back of his head)

When I found out (he lives with his dad - he would have been in 3 different High Schools if he had stayed with us - due to our moving around with the military - 3 locations in 3 years) I started doing research on what could help with is recovery - It turns out he did not need any help - with in days he was back to normal, just with out headaches :)

While researching how to help him, I also researched things to help me as well
I know it might sound horrible, but I knew, I would need help coping with the entire situation - I was staying with my Ex Husband and his Wife - We had a rocky relationship and I was worried how it would be with us all under one roof.  

After learning more and more about oils to help
I came up with this concoction :)

(I used one of my empty oil bottles that I had cleaned out - How to clean out your bottles)

I used
40 drops of Stress Away
30 Drops of Ylang Ylang
20 Drops of Valerian
10 Drops of Vetiver (this is a VERY thick oil it takes a bit to get the drops out)

I put a AromaGlide Roller Fitment on top

Shook it all up and rolled it on the bottom of my feet :) 

Not only did it help keep me calm the whole time - It helped me stay relaxed in the hospital,
And keep a happy outlook on everything :)  Bonus - I had some really good dreams!!!

I think it is what helped his wife and I become friends :)     (Shocking I know)

Essential Oil Necklace Diffuser

As I have said a few times before - I love Pinterest!

I have seen these Diffusers pined a few times and I have seen them for sale at a few Craft Shows.
Every time I have seen them the only thing I think is - I could make those :)

So I did :)

You will need Natural Clay
       (I used an Air Dry Clay, but next time will use an Oven Bake)
And An Essential Oil
A stamp
(I also found these awesome Metal Circles)

Mold the clay into the Size and Shape You would like for your Pendant
Stamp your Clay
Put a hole on the top in order to string on to your necklace

Let dry / Bake per package Instruction

Once Dried / Cooled from Baking
Start rubbing your Essential Oil on
The first time you put the oil on you will need to put it on a few times (Layering the Scent)
My suggestion is that you only use one Scent per Pendant

The Scent lasts from a week to a month
