Thicker oils have you thinking of molasses? 😂 Wasting days waiting for that single drop to drip out? Use a dropper with your thicker oils! Unless of course you prefer to sit and wait for the slow, slow drip! I guess you could use that time to mediate and focus on your wellbeing

Let’s start a Starter Kit Series!
🍃8 reasons you will LOVE Lavender!🍃
Why will you love Lavender essential oil?
• It can help you find your Zen. Lavender promotes feelings of calm, and it fights occasional nervous tension. It supports a worry-free outlook and has a relaxing and calming aroma.
• Lavender is a wonderful essential oil for your skin and hair! It cleanses and soothes minor skin irritations, reduces the appearance of blemishes, and it’s soothing to the skin after a day in the sun. Complement your beauty routine by adding Lavender to unscented lotions, creams, and moisturizers.
• It supports aging skin and enhances the appearance of a youthful complexion.
• Lavender is super versatile! If you are new to oils or aren’t sure what to use when, Lavender is always a good choice. It has been called the “Swiss army knife” of oils for its many benefits.
• Lavender is a very gentle oil and is great to use on children! Make sure to dilute when needed.
• It can enhance your bedtime routine! Diffuse Lavender in your room for the perfect relaxing environment, add a few drops to your warm bath after a long day, or add a few drops to pillows, bedding, or bottoms of feet at bedtime.
• It will refresh your space. Freshen your linen closet, mattress, or car by combining Lavender with water in a glass spray bottle and spritzing over surfaces.
• It can be added to organic wool dryer balls to add a fresh scent to your laundry.
Young Living also offers Lavender + essential oil. This oil is specially labeled so you and your family can enjoy the benefits of Lavender essential oil internally. Lavender lemonade is refreshing.
The difference between Lavender+ and Lavender essential oil is simply the labeling and recommended usage. The essential oil in the Plus product line is the same 100 percent pure essential oil as the topical/aromatic counterpart. Lavender + is labeled for dietary use and is the appropriate product to use when sharing dietary uses with others.
Try adding Lavender+ to your favorite drink, putting it in a veggie capsule, or baking with it!
There are about 30 different species of lavender that are grown and harvested in countries all over the globe. Historically, the lavender plant has been used for 2,500 years and was even found in the tombs of the Egyptians. Research also shows that the Romans and Greeks used lavender as perfume and to clean their clothing. Today, lavender is a common ingredient in many perfumes, soaps, fresheners, and beauty products.

1. Fill your bottle half way up with Witch Hazel. Witch Hazel helps water and oil combine and will help the aroma fill your space and stay longer.
2. Fill the rest with water.
3. Add EO’s, use less or more as desired. Use a glass or stainless bottle if you can.
4. Shake gently.
5. Add herbs, fruit or flowers, citrus peels work great too.
6. Spray, Breathe, Relax
TIP: Cut Fruit will go bad within a few days, but dried herbs or flowers will last longer. Using witch hazel with alcohol will help preserve the product. Distilled water will also help it last longer. General tip is to make small batch, use it and not store it for long.

Forget about those expensive department-store skin serums. You can make your own with all-natural, organic ingredients for way less... and it's so much better for your skin. This DIY Facial Serum is packed full of nutrients that your skin will love, and it's so simple to make! It will literally take you less than a minute once you have all the ingredients ready. Let’s go over the ingredients and why they work so well…
About the Ingredients
Rosehip seed oil is my FAVORITE carrier oil for the face. It has a reddish-amber color and thicker than an almond or avocado oil. It’s perfect for this serum recipe as it soaks into the skin quickly without leaving an oily residue, so it can be worn day or night. It’s great for all skin types, particularly aging or mature skin. It’s high in essential fatty acids and can help with spots, dryness, and fine lines. Opt only for for cold-pressed, organic rosehip seed oil.
Frankincense essential oil has been used for thousands of years and excellent for healthy-looking skin.
Myrrh essential oil is like a cousin to Frankincense. It has also been used for thousands of years – dating back to Biblical times. Many skin-care products contain Myrrh.
Lavender essential oil is excellent for the skin – especially if you spend a lot of time in the sun.
Rose and geranium essential oils are particularly great for mature skin. I use them in my serum and can definitely see the difference.
Aroma Life essential oil blend is made with Cypress, Marjoram, Helichrysum, and Ylang Ylang. Cypress is a firming oil, which can be great if you have mature or aging skin, while Ylang Ylang helps to soothe skin and give it a youthful glow.
DIY Facial Serum
1 oz rosehip seed oil (or other carrier oil but rosehip seed oil is the best for the face)
5 drops Frankincense essential oil
5 drops Myrrh essential oil
5 drops Lavender essential oil
5 drops Aroma Life essential oil blend
2 drops Rose (or Geranium - what I like to call the poor woman's Rose)
Instructions
In a 1 oz glass dropper bottle, add all essential oils. This will be about a 2.5% dilution ratio.
Fill the bottle with rosehip seed oil. So easy!!
