How to clean out your Essential Oil Bottels

I am all about reusing things, and these are great bottles!
I love roller bottles - as you have seen, and these are the perfect size for carrying around with you.

I wanted to not only "clean" them out, but I wanted to remove all hint of the previous oil from the bottle

One of the best things I have found to "pull out" the oil is Epsom salt :)
So I made a "cleaning" box and but in the bottles to sit for 2 hours

Next - time for a "bath" and another great way to use Vodka
Make sure the Vodka Covers the bottles / I also added the caps to this bath
This will get out any remaining oils and help remove the labels
I had them soak for 1 hour

It seems like a long process, and some people say that they just use Vodka, I am more of a safe then sorry kind of person thus why I do both :)

I have to admit I am so excited about my clean bottles
There are so many oils I have been wanting to mix and try out :)

-- I would like to side note something - If you sell Essential Oils - Hold On to your "empty" bottles, they still have a few drops left in them and would be great to use for a display, that way if people want to smell them they can, and you don't have to worry about losing any of your new/fuller bottles

DIY Room Freshener

I have been having so much fun making all these goodies, and researching different things to make

My Favorite thing in life is when people say how good my home feels, how comfy it is :)

One of the things I do is always have some sort of room freshener going
From Candles, Warmers (Scentsy), Reeds, Solid Room Fresheners to Room Sprays

Well I LOVE Room Sprays, and started looking at how much I spend on them
Yea, never going to spend that much ever again!!!

I looked to, of course Pinterest first and my boards (I had quite a few pinned)
Most of the ones I had pinned consisted of a large amount of water
That did not work for me, I wanted something that would bind better to the Essential Oils and when I sprayed it I did not want "water" left to dry

So the research/search continued

I learned that Alcohol Dries FAST and that it is a great binding agent, thus why it is used in Mouthwash so much then I found  - Cheap Ways to Make Your House Smell Good on eHow (Click to see original post)

What you need
1/2 Cup Vodka (the cheap stuff works fine - this bottle was $6)
1/2 Cup Distilled Water
Essential Oils - I used
    3 Drops of Lemon
    3 Drops of Orange
    3 Drops of Grapefruit

I call this spray my Orgasmic Citric Happiness!!!

This is by far the BEST Room Freshener I have EVER Used!!!!

I can't wait to try different blends of Oils :) :)

Enjoy!!! :) :) :) :) :)
