I started using essential oils (EO) about 6 weeks ago and I wish I had started using them sooner. They are awesome. My favorite company to order from is Eden’s Garden. They are a small, independent company and they have great prices. They also offer different sizes of EOs. I love this company and their oils.
I have tried several mixtures since I wrote my last EO post and I also bought some products that I want to share. No compensation for the reviews, links or products that I am writing about in this post. I just want to share my successes with others so that they can have an easier time if they need or want to try them. I made a cleaning mixture, reed diffuser and bought an electric diffuser that I will be writing about here.
Bathroom Cleaner: I made this cleaner just this week. The castile soap came from Trader Joe’s…they have the best price around. I bought the glass spray bottle on Amazon. I also bought some spray bottle at the dollar store and I am going to try using those nozzles on an empty vinegar bottle; a suggestion from the post. The smell of this cleaner was awesome, but the baking soda left a bit of a cloudy residue, so I’m going to use less baking soda the next time I make it.
Reed Diffuser : I also made these reed diffusers this week. The bottles came from TJ Maxx. I made them several weeks ago with a wider mouth jar and they evaporated too quickly. You really need to use small neck bottles. The reeds came from Amazon…these are on the short side so if you get a tall bottle, they probably won’t be long enough. I have this in my bathroom and I turn the reeds over every few days, which helps to bring out the scent.
Electric Diffuser : I have wanted an electric diffuser for a long time. I finally purchased one and I am so glad that I did. I just plugged it in today and it is awesome. When I left and then returned, the house smelled so fresh and clean. I put in a mixture of lavender, orange and lemon…so refreshing. I got a printable of spring diffuser blends and chose the seaside citrus blend. Definitely a great investment and this one was actually a great price.
What is your go-to EO blend or use?
I have made these before. So simple and easy. Love them.
LOVE my EOs:)
I love my collection of essential oils although I must confess that I probably don’t use them as often as I could/should.
I do too…I actually have a bunch of recipes to make right now…I know what I’ll be doing this weekend:)
Love essential oils. Great article!
Thanks Sofia
I have never used essential oils, but have thought about it. Thanks for the share!
EOs really do work…give them a try
Nice! I love tea tree oil for cleaning and for my acne. Lavender is great for my skin and for helping me sleep. Then I love citrus-y blends for diffusing. And I wear patchouli on my necklace daily. Those are just a few of my favourites. 🙂
Tea tree oil is great on blemishes!
Essential oils have really taken over, and I love it! They’re so good for you. I need to buy some more!
They really are great…I bought a diffuser for my classroom too.
Nice successes! I will check out the reed diffuser.
Definitely give it a try:)
I started using EO at the beginning of the year and I love them. But, I need to be more consistent in how I use them. I am saving this post for sure!
I agree with having to use them consistently…I add a few DIY products each month…there are so many out there
Going to try the bathroom cleaner. I live in Haiti and finding good cleaning stuff or really anything for that matter is rather difficult.
It cleans and smells wonderful
The bathroom cleaner is a great idea!
It has such a clean, fresh scent
