I’m a teacher and for the past 3 years I’ve been using essential oils in my classroom. My students and staff always complement the aroma. I use lavender to calm them down, peppermint to invigorate their thinking and eucalyptus in the winter for cold/flu season.
These oils are life saving love straight from heaven!!! I suffer from anxiety, depression, and P.T.S.D. The oils help all of my issues! 😎 Thank you for spreading the love. I love how successful you are. You truly show all young ladies they can do anything! 😍 Shalom!
I love Peppermint & Eucalyptus diffused together, my fav. In the Fall, I love Orange & Clove. Love this video! I am also obsessed with Essential oils, but my collection is smaller than yours 😊 I also use a few drops Lavender in the washing machine, per your recommendation from a few years ago 🙂
I love lemongrass on it's own, but never thought it was made from lemongrass. I always associate lemongrass with Asian cooking, so the smell didn't match for me. I always thought it was ginger that was being diffused. Either way, once I found out it was lemongrass, I couldn't turn back. I also love lavender or any sleeping/relaxing oils for my bedroom.
Hello Melissa! I was 'sniffing' some of those combos as you were describing them. I never would have tried lime and basil before. What an awesome scent blend. Thanks for sharing! Not sure if anyone made a comment on this yet, but you can make or buy pre-printed little round stickers to place on top of your EO lids. This will alleviate the problem with matching up your lids with the correct bottles. Helps me tremendously! TFS and keep up the great work!
I love so many different combinations, it depends what I have going on. Pinterest has the greatest amount of “recipes “ I’ve found. Right now I’m enjoying eucalyptus, peppermint and orange.
My new favourite blend is 3 drops Bergamot 2 drops Lavender. It makes a Earl Grey/London Fog scent. You could do more drops if you enjoy a richer scent.
I found the brand Woolzies at TJ Maxx and I fell in love with their scents! I diffuse them, wear them, and put them on wool dryer balls to scent my laundry. They're great quality and smell amazing!
Love them absolutely. I have loads of them, use them everyday in my practise , at home, in the car. A few more I love are mandarin, orange,ylang ylang, jasmine, vetiver, palmarosa. After your video, will be using more tea tree, eucaliptus and peppermint. Since we dont have vanilla in my country, I make an oul infusion with vanilla pods.
😂 “essential oil horder” that’s me! Love my EO’s. Just FYI for anyone interested, I use to be a Doterra distributor, but stopped bc the prices were outrageous, due to it being a MLM company, and found “revive essential oils” 100% the exact same quality, at less than half the cost. Plus, always free shipping.
I want to try all of the combinations you mentioned! My personal favs are peppermint, lavender and lemon. I definitely want to try the eucalyptus/shower trick when I have congestion and also the peppermint floor mat trick you shared. Thanks for this video.
I make two products using essential oils that I'm never without. First I make a bed spray. That has 2 tablespoons of alcohol (I use cheap vodka because I like the scent in the mix, but can use rubbing alcohol) and ten drops of lavender essential oil in a small spray bottle. Fill the bottle with water. When I take the linens off my bed to wash, I spray my mattress and pillows down with this mix and let dry before I vacuum it. (Also good for taking care of mites.) I also add a few drops of lavender oil to my washer's rinse cycle to freshen the sheets. Next, I make an all-purpose cleaner in a 16 ounce spray bottle (mine is glass) using 2 tablespoons of sal suds, 5 drops of tea tree oil, 10 drops of lemon oil and 5 drops of eucalyptus. The scent is pleasing. Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy you and Chad and how well you work together.
Another favourite video that u just produced!!! I love love love essential oils, so much so that I tend to gift people these in holidays. (I dnt care if thy dnt like it 🤣) My fav ones are, Saje blends, 1. Immunity (recommended by health Canada) 2. Yoga( while meditation) 3. Mountains 3. Goddess 4. SunShine Individual scents, 1. Lavender 2. Rosemary 3. Lime 4. Woodsy
It took a lot of trial and error before I found which scents I like, and what I like to use them for. I did my research on oils, brands included. I’m also brand agnostic, but I do have my favorites, and stay away from MLM companies at all costs because their oils are extremely overpriced in comparison to most other brands that have the same quality oils. I love all things Bergamot! Whether it be the single note, Bergamot Mint or my absolute favorite...Bergamot Key Lime, which is a blend from Eden’s Garden. It’s so delicious!
Brittany Blankenship Not yet, but I actually just ordered Lavender Magnolia, and I love Patchouli so I’ll have to try that blend! Their new blends are just amazing! I don’t know why but lately I’ve been loving any of their blends that have lime, key lime or both, so the Bergamot Key Lime (my fav), Frankincense Lime and Goodnight....ugh so good! Since they don’t have rollers for their newer blends in going to make a Bergamot Key Lime roller, but I’m trying to figure out what I want to add in there if anything, so if you have any ideas please let me know!
I love lavender. I usually make a spray with distilled water, witch hazel and about 20 drops of lavender. I spray my pillows with this and I always have a sound sleep.
Wow I just starting using EO for a while Ashley this afternoon I just got home family is coming and I decided to do a baking soda with eucalyptus Pine and peppermint and dusted on my carpet and it smells wonderful I love I love that I can use EO everywhere in my house so far my dogs haven't got any effect with it I'm glad I'm poor check with the bed thank you for showing me different ways of cleaning without using Hart chemicals.😁💗
Before I lost my olfactory function (sense of smell) I was very much into essential oils. I, too, enjoyed mixing unique combinations. My favorite scents were vetiver, neroli, cedarwood - mostly in combination with other oils with brighter notes. They tend to be abit heavy alone, for certain applications.
I take a damp paper towel and drop some lemon oil and it to clean my mirrors. Then I wipe them down with a mirror microfiber towel. Glass sparkles!! I use lemon, lavender, peppermint, lemongrass and frankincense the most. I used your tea tree soap scum buster just now. I love it. I used lavender dish soap with it. I cleaned the corners and walls with most of it. I have a clean broom that I use to clean the tub floor. It is easier to scrub there that way. I used what was left in the bowl for that.
If you love spa, you must try eucalyptus and orange essential oils. It brings me back to the Siberia steam room everytime! I also love difffusing the Sage Tranquility blend when I do my yoga. Happy New Year and thanks for the amazing videos!
The Thieves Oil story was very interesting. Decades ago my Grandmother told me that when she was a little girl (in the 1800s) in Austro-Hungaria and got sick she used to have to wear a little leather pouch containing herbs and garlic. I asked her if it helped her get well. She said probably not but no one got close enough to get sick themselves. Whatever works..lol
I love the smell of pine tree and have been unsuccessful finding it in EO form, to the point where I wasn't sure it existed. Thanks for confirming that it does...I will keep looking!
Oh yeah it exist! White pine, red pine, ocean pine, sylvester pine. And if you like those scents you might also like Balsam fir, white spruce, black spruce and thuja...You are in for a treat :) Some companies also sells "forest" blends.
I haven't been using essential oils a lot lately, but one thing I thought of last year that I was so excited to do again this year, was peppermint hand soap! I use the dial honey vanilla soap refills for my soap pump, and I always mix that with a dropper full of argan oil which I find really helps keep the soap from drying out my skin. Well last year around Christmas time I thought to add in a few drops of peppermint and it's AMAZING. I mix about 2 cups of the dial soap, the dropper full of argan oil, probably about a table spoon worth, maybe a bit less, and 5-10 drops peppermint. The smell is lovely, like a candy cane, and I already associate it with Christmas now, I started craving that scent for the hand soap right after Halloween, but my dispenser didn't need a refill until the beginning of december😭 lol. I love it. I don't have a huge collection, mostly medicinal scents, lavender, tea tree, eucalyptus, peppermint, and the argan. I have a couple floral blends, but I don't know what I was thinking because I hate them lol. Lavender, tea tree and eucalyptus make a fantastic and reliable flea repellant for dogs, as well as to get them to stay off of soft furnishings and not infest your home, but don't quote me on that. I've used it for years in place of chemical nasties like advantage and I find it works just as well. I moved and haven't had any issue with fleas now for several years, but the recipe is floating around online for anyone interested. It was the only thing my dog could use as he has such bad allergies, the vet sold flea meds would give my shepherd rashes and he would loose fur, one year he was almost 80% bald because of it. If your vet says it's toxic because of the tea tree, by all means listen, but I've used tea tree on cats and dogs for all sorts of issues, it's especially good to mix in with antibiotic ointments to help with antiseptic, but also because they hate the smell and won't lick it. It also mixes great into an olive oil furniture polish, the tea tree prevents the olive oil from going rancid, it's makes wood look fantastic and again acts as a deterrent for chewing by puppies. But, the hype is that it's toxic. I have not had my pets experience any noticeable negative reactions, and will keep using it as needed, but don't just blindly take my advice and hate me for it if something happens. I'm no vet or doctor.🤷♀️
Also, I forgot, tea tree oil is great for dandruff. My mom has used it in head and shoulders for years and it makes the head and shoulders shampoo work 10x better. Just add 10-20 drops to a full bottle of shampoo and shake it well to combine. You want it to smell fairly strong once it's mixed up. Like definite tea tree. You don't have enough if once it's mixed it still smells mostly like head and shoulders. It really helps, even in regular shampoos, but if you don't like the smell of classic dandruff shampoo and you need it, the tea tree really covers it, I used it all through high school and it did come up a few times that I used head and shoulders and nobody could tell by how my hair smelled, so a+ for that. Tea tree mixed with olive oil is also a home remedy for cradle cap for babies, a drop of each mixed up, applied to the spot and allowed to sit for 10 or so minutes before washing the hair should over the course of a couple treatments, completely cure it. I haven't tried this, but I recently read it in my trusty grandma's home remedies book. 😊
Hello Melissa! One of my favorite combinations for my kitchen is the lime and basil that you like, but I also add orange oil to the mix. I drop some of this blend in my sink each night and in the morning everything still smells so lovely. I also LOVE lavender and use it often. A combination that I use on occasion is lavender with cedarwood or lavender with peppermint oil. The latter sounds like a strange combo, but it is soothing and lively all at once! Happy New Year!
@@christinegarrity8939 Thieves is Young Living but most brands have the same blend with a different name. Ellia calls it Fight It. It is a.blend of orange, cloves, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary. I really love it!
Lavender and Cedarwood (with slightly more lavender than Cedarwood)... I found a lotion with this scent and loved it and had to recreate it in my house
There is something I just love about basil. So much so I will put it on topically. Something about it just wakes me up and makes me happy. I have always wondered what Tobacco and Basil would smell like together.
Amazing!! I'm gonna save this video and go back to it as I need to! I have some doTerra oils, and since I'm in menopause, my favorite blend from them is the Clarycalm! It has: clary sage, lavender, bergamot, romantic chamomile, cedarwood, ylang-ylang, geranium, fennel, carrot seed, palmarosa and vitex! Hot flashes, emotions, headaches anxiety and depression are so bad at times that I felt like I was dying! Rolling this blend on my chest takes all of those nasty feelings and physical ailments and dwindles them down to nothing! Essential oils are amazing and I use them not only for therapeutic reasons, but also to lift my mood, cook with and a myriad of other ways to keep my home, my family and friends happy and healthy!
If you are new to purchasing EO it's nice to go to a shop and ask for help, sniff around, etc. And buy small amounts. When you established a few favs then you can replace them pretty safely online. As Melissa says there is a range of quality. You dont need the priciest but don't cheap out. Once you reach a level of quality paying more is ridiculous in my opinion. You also make some shortcuts based on how you are planning to use it. Also I will suggest that when you start looking for some variety in your scents wander close to your fav.for instance if you like orange oil try another citrus. If you are fond of pine try fir needle. If you are over peppermint try spearmint. If you are a fan of patchouli try vetivir. Similar oils in the same plant family will also usually have similar properties that you rely on for certain tasks. Melissa you discussed a lot of my fav oils. They are very versatile. My fav EO blend is lavender, orange, and eucalyptus. Takes me right back to the spa. It's a good scent for diffusing, cleaning, and personal care products. Happy new year everybody!
There's a Now essential oils set on amazon of 10 30mL bottles for $38. I bought it a year ago and still have some bottles full and have only replaced maybe 3-4 in the last 6 months. Great starter kit!
I love essential oils and use them in my everyday cleaners as well as diffuse them. The citrus scents are my fav. Also trying mixing thieves with line. It is heavily. Great video.
I'm a big fan of lavender and I love to mix it with sweet orange and ylang ylang in a diffuser! I also really like to mix it with rosemary and sweet almond oil (amazing for massages)
I love the citrus scents the most...orange, lemon, grapefruit etc. Orange scent especially equates to "clean and fresh" in my mind. Adding a little rosemary with the citrus smells really great, too. At this point, I use oils solely for their scent, not their other potential uses. No need for me to get overly concerned regarding the quality of the oils.
I have just ordered myself an oil diffuser and a starter kit of oils. I can not wait to try it! I feel like it will help with some of the 'family' smells lol as well as creating a more relaxing and inviting home. That coupled with my full home decluttering I will hopefully have a more enjoyable home space.
I love assential oils ,my daughter is a arroma massage therapist, thank you for this video , l agree that they have to be therapeutic quality. My favorite combination is eucalyptus, cinnamon, tea tree , naioli oils together .put equal amount in a spray bottle. makes a anti -microbial spray , You can spray it in your room or on your pillow if you have a cold or ext Rose from Canada ❤ .
My comfort oil is peppermint. Reminds me of my childhood and calms me down. Put that next to my bed and I'm fast asleep. Good for headaches apparently.
Please watch the in-store purchases as they are not usually 100% pure and able to consume or use around pets. Even ones labeled 100%, they may not be. One we bought at a health food store, labeled 100% actually separated, def not 100% :( Just do your research on the brands before you buy!
MommaIrwin yes this is true! Companies are allowed to put 100% pure and only put a tiny bit of real oil in it. The oil industry is not regulated. When I first started using oils I thought I could buy them from Walmart etc because they were labeled pure. But after educating myself and learning more about them, I found out otherwise. “Cheaper” oils can actually cause way more harm than good. Plus you waste your money on an adultered oil instead of just buying a higher quality that will help support your body. Oils are amazing and definitely have changed my life! But I’m also glad I learned more about them and surrounded myself with a good community. I highly suggest doing some more research on the oils you may be using. Don’t buy an oil unless you can see the testing results. Just because they say they test, doesn’t mean it’s pure either. You want to be able to verify
Do you have a print version of all the cleaning recipies and your essential oil recipies? I really like your channel, specially when you talk about various essential oil uses. Your channel makes very easy to make practical recipies to make at home. Would love to follow some of them too 😊
I am just starting with essential oils and even received some for Christmas. I use Wintergreen for foot pain during the day and lavendar at night. I haven't really tried combinations but I think I will start with clove, orange, and cinnamon - sounds amazing!
Great video. I am new to your channel and just got 2 bottles of essential oils, peppermint and orange from Grove Co. I need to read more to figure out exactly how I can use them. I am excited to use them.
Great video as always! I have been hook on looking for an essential oil blend that produces a that luxury hotel scent. It's not overpowering, but when you walk into a new space and the scent is like ahhhh. Also I'm looking for some really nice spa scents/blends.
@@kirbyd0g And I'm still looking....lol. I did find some lovely rose scented wax melts on Amazon or Etsy. And Walmart has lovely cashmere scented wax melts.
Peppermint, Spearmint, and lemon are my favs. I haven't tried combing oils yet, but after hearing this, I will! Thanks. Btw, I do not care for floral scents either.
My go to's: lemon, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, basil. I have others as well but these in different combos cover a multitude of ailments and purposes from mental fatigue, stress, purifying, decongestanting, insomnia, bug bites, poison ivy, rashes...a gift to humanity for sure. I shop mostly at Luckyvitamin.com, Remnantremedy.com, and a local family-owned health food store. Great video! I hope it gets more people aware of and using essential oils.
I make a room freshener /car freshener / fabric freshener out of orange oil and vanilla. If I need it to kill germs and I add a little "spirits" to the mix. It makes the whole house smell like an orange creamsicle.
I did tons of research and a few great brands are eden's garden and plant therapy. Personally, I prefer eden's garden bc they smell better to me than the plant therapy brand. A lot of eo's cannot be used around children under 10 such as eucalyptus and peppermint. Edens garden has a children's line that makes it easy to use without worry and those are the ones I mostly purchase for safety reasons. They have blends that are perfect for sleeping and sickness to diffuse at night in the bedrooms. I purchased a cleaning blend that's pretty nice that I add to my homemade cleaning spray bottle.... called cleaning blend. Instead of buying individual scents, I love having the synergies a lot.
Life's Little Moments... ..Plant Therapy also has a Kid Safe line/label for those eo’s that are safe for use with/around children. There customer support is awesome too!
Edens Garden and Plant Therapy are all I own. Do you have a preference for either Fighting Five vs Guardian from EG? I can't make up my mind. 😄 Bliss synergy is my fave from EG and Love Vanilla from PT.
Thanks for the combo suggestions. The Essential Oil industry is unregulated so even if the bottle says '100% pure' does not mean it is actually pure essential oil. Purchasers have to research the manufacturers if you're seeking consistent effectiveness; also research even basic precautions and guidelines for safe usage.
I thank you for this. I lost my sense of smell years ago due to sinus issues. That being said, my family can still smell and I want it pleasant for them.

Which essential oils do you use?
What diffuser do you typically us?
5 drops Bergamot + 5 drops rosehip + 2 drops lavender = Beautiful spa scent!
Lemon and vanilla! I clean with it and use it as a room refresher. Perfect combo of clean and warm.
oooooooo, yummy! Does it smell like lemon merengue pie?

I enjoy putting a drop of lavender on a rag or clothe in my laundry load to freshen it up too.
When I was having chemo and felt nauseous I would smell the peppermint and it help me a lot.
It helps with headaches
What are you favourite essential oils?
Lavender and roses!
Lavender and eucalyptus.. 👃♨️
Lavender or Eucalyptus!

I have not had my pets experience any noticeable negative reactions, and will keep using it as needed, but don't just blindly take my advice and hate me for it if something happens. I'm no vet or doctor.🤷♀️
Also, I forgot, tea tree oil is great for dandruff. My mom has used it in head and shoulders for years and it makes the head and shoulders shampoo work 10x better. Just add 10-20 drops to a full bottle of shampoo and shake it well to combine. You want it to smell fairly strong once it's mixed up. Like definite tea tree. You don't have enough if once it's mixed it still smells mostly like head and shoulders. It really helps, even in regular shampoos, but if you don't like the smell of classic dandruff shampoo and you need it, the tea tree really covers it, I used it all through high school and it did come up a few times that I used head and shoulders and nobody could tell by how my hair smelled, so a+ for that.
Tea tree mixed with olive oil is also a home remedy for cradle cap for babies, a drop of each mixed up, applied to the spot and allowed to sit for 10 or so minutes before washing the hair should over the course of a couple treatments, completely cure it. I haven't tried this, but I recently read it in my trusty grandma's home remedies book. 😊
Hello Melissa! One of my favorite combinations for my kitchen is the lime and basil that you like, but I also add orange oil to the mix. I drop some of this blend in my sink each night and in the morning everything still smells so lovely. I also LOVE lavender and use it often. A combination that I use on occasion is lavender with cedarwood or lavender with peppermint oil. The latter sounds like a strange combo, but it is soothing and lively all at once! Happy New Year!
I dearly love eucalyptus and recently found Thieves blend and have fallen in love with it!
MidniteDaily where does one find thieves oil ?
@@christinegarrity8939 Thieves is Young Living but most brands have the same blend with a different name. Ellia calls it Fight It. It is a.blend of orange, cloves, cinnamon, eucalyptus and rosemary. I really love it!
A great video. I am a new subscriber and love essentials oils. Thieves is great for the cold and flu season. It makes the house seem so cozy also.
Lavender and Cedarwood (with slightly more lavender than Cedarwood)... I found a lotion with this scent and loved it and had to recreate it in my house
I use pine and lemongrass for cleaning floors. A combination Cedar wood, lavender and orange to diffuse at night to help sleep.
I really love bergamot...I like eucalyptus , lavender and tea tree oils😊... Love all you videos pack full with usefully info👏👏👏
Great video. My favorite combo is orange/tangerine and cloves.
There is something I just love about basil. So much so I will put it on topically. Something about it just wakes me up and makes me happy. I have always wondered what Tobacco and Basil would smell like together.
Amazing!! I'm gonna save this video and go back to it as I need to! I have some doTerra oils, and since I'm in menopause, my favorite blend from them is the Clarycalm! It has: clary sage, lavender, bergamot, romantic chamomile, cedarwood, ylang-ylang, geranium, fennel, carrot seed, palmarosa and vitex! Hot flashes, emotions, headaches anxiety and depression are so bad at times that I felt like I was dying! Rolling this blend on my chest takes all of those nasty feelings and physical ailments and dwindles them down to nothing! Essential oils are amazing and I use them not only for therapeutic reasons, but also to lift my mood, cook with and a myriad of other ways to keep my home, my family and friends happy and healthy!
If you are new to purchasing EO it's nice to go to a shop and ask for help, sniff around, etc. And buy small amounts. When you established a few favs then you can replace them pretty safely online. As Melissa says there is a range of quality. You dont need the priciest but don't cheap out. Once you reach a level of quality paying more is ridiculous in my opinion. You also make some shortcuts based on how you are planning to use it.
Also I will suggest that when you start looking for some variety in your scents wander close to your fav.for instance if you like orange oil try another citrus. If you are fond of pine try fir needle. If you are over peppermint try spearmint. If you are a fan of patchouli try vetivir. Similar oils in the same plant family will also usually have similar properties that you rely on for certain tasks.
Melissa you discussed a lot of my fav oils. They are very versatile. My fav EO blend is lavender, orange, and eucalyptus. Takes me right back to the spa. It's a good scent for diffusing, cleaning, and personal care products.
Happy new year everybody!
Copiba is by far my favorite essential oil. It smells amazing and is wonderful for pain.
There's a Now essential oils set on amazon of 10 30mL bottles for $38. I bought it a year ago and still have some bottles full and have only replaced maybe 3-4 in the last 6 months. Great starter kit!
I love essential oils and use them in my everyday cleaners as well as diffuse them. The citrus scents are my fav. Also trying mixing thieves with line. It is heavily. Great video.
I love
Lime and rosemary
Cedar wood and orange
Patchouli, geranium and Lang Lang
I'm a big fan of lavender and I love to mix it with sweet orange and ylang ylang in a diffuser! I also really like to mix it with rosemary and sweet almond oil (amazing for massages)
I remember a smell from childhood that I've always wanted to recreate. The closest I've come to the smell is lavender and patchouli.
Lavender and Patchouli sound AMAZING!
I love the citrus scents the most...orange, lemon, grapefruit etc. Orange scent especially equates to "clean and fresh" in my mind. Adding a little rosemary with the citrus smells really great, too. At this point, I use oils solely for their scent, not their other potential uses. No need for me to get overly concerned regarding the quality of the oils.
My favorite blend in the diffuser is Lemon and Lavender! Smells like Fruity Pebbles and it's so fresh smelling! I also love the Thieves oil blend!
Love this , now please please please tell which diffuser to buy
I have just ordered myself an oil diffuser and a starter kit of oils. I can not wait to try it! I feel like it will help with some of the 'family' smells lol as well as creating a more relaxing and inviting home. That coupled with my full home decluttering I will hopefully have a more enjoyable home space.
I love assential oils ,my daughter is a arroma massage therapist, thank you for this video , l agree that they have to be therapeutic quality.
My favorite combination is eucalyptus, cinnamon, tea tree , naioli oils together .put equal amount in a spray bottle. makes a anti -microbial spray ,
You can spray it in your room or on your pillow if you have a cold or ext
Rose from Canada ❤
.
Idk if anybody has tried it, but neroli is my favourite and it smells amazing!
I also have a passion for essential oils 🤗 i love your video 💕
I love peppermint oil, lemon oil and cinnamon. I also use the lemon oil and sometimes to switch it our, peppermint or spearmint in my water.
My comfort oil is peppermint. Reminds me of my childhood and calms me down. Put that next to my bed and I'm fast asleep. Good for headaches apparently.
I use Peppermint, Eucalyptus and Lavender as a mix it is great for treating headaches.
Good information. I enjoy purchasing in-store too. Just learning.....mainly diffusing now.
I'm new too!! How do you diffuse please?
@@kzelaskoable I bought a moderately priced diffuser at Hobby Lobby. Wanted to be sure I would use it.
Please watch the in-store purchases as they are not usually 100% pure and able to consume or use around pets. Even ones labeled 100%, they may not be. One we bought at a health food store, labeled 100% actually separated, def not 100% :(
Just do your research on the brands before you buy!
MommaIrwin yes this is true! Companies are allowed to put 100% pure and only put a tiny bit of real oil in it. The oil industry is not regulated. When I first started using oils I thought I could buy them from Walmart etc because they were labeled pure. But after educating myself and learning more about them, I found out otherwise. “Cheaper” oils can actually cause way more harm than good. Plus you waste your money on an adultered oil instead of just buying a higher quality that will help support your body. Oils are amazing and definitely have changed my life! But I’m also glad I learned more about them and surrounded myself with a good community. I highly suggest doing some more research on the oils you may be using. Don’t buy an oil unless you can see the testing results. Just because they say they test, doesn’t mean it’s pure either. You want to be able to verify
This time of year I've been obsessed with frankincense and clove. It reminds me of walking in a quaint little store during the holidays.
Wonderful scents for the holidays! Thanks for watching!
Lavender and vanilla for sleeping and eucalyptus, mint, and tea tree to relax and reduces the stress
I got your book for Christmas. I'm so excited to read it and put it to use!
Do you have a print version of all the cleaning recipies and your essential oil recipies?
I really like your channel, specially when you talk about various essential oil uses. Your channel makes very easy to make practical recipies to make at home.
Would love to follow some of them too 😊
My favourite essential oil is for sure Peppermint! Always always helps with nausea and headaches 👍🏻
I am just starting with essential oils and even received some for Christmas. I use Wintergreen for foot pain during the day and lavendar at night. I haven't really tried combinations but I think I will start with clove, orange, and cinnamon - sounds amazing!
Thanks for watching Heather!
Also I totally stole you’re lavender/ vodka recipe for a linen spray. I use it on my living furniture all the time for a refresher.
Thank you 😊
Love essential oils! Whats a good one to make your vacuum smell better? Tried lemon and it just doesn't do it
Great video. I am new to your channel and just got 2 bottles of essential oils, peppermint and orange from Grove Co. I need to read more to figure out exactly how I can use them. I am excited to use them.
Nice! How is your collection coming along? Do you have more now? :)
Great video as always! I have been hook on looking for an essential oil blend that produces a that luxury hotel scent. It's not overpowering, but when you walk into a new space and the scent is like ahhhh. Also I'm looking for some really nice spa scents/blends.
I am too! I love the smell of luxury hotel lobbys.
@@kirbyd0g And I'm still looking....lol. I did find some lovely rose scented wax melts on Amazon or Etsy. And Walmart has lovely cashmere scented wax melts.
Peppermint..sweetorange..sandalwood and cinnamon
Would love to know how you store and organize your essential oils! I love lavender and lemon. ~Connie
I enjoy this content Melissa. Happy New Year!
Peppermint, Spearmint, and lemon are my favs. I haven't tried combing oils yet, but after hearing this, I will! Thanks. Btw, I do not care for floral scents either.
My go to's: lemon, eucalyptus, lavender, peppermint, basil. I have others as well but these in different combos cover a multitude of ailments and purposes from mental fatigue, stress, purifying, decongestanting, insomnia, bug bites, poison ivy, rashes...a gift to humanity for sure. I shop mostly at Luckyvitamin.com, Remnantremedy.com, and a local family-owned health food store. Great video! I hope it gets more people aware of and using essential oils.
Lemon & Lavender is my all time favorite blend 💛💜
My favorite essential oil combination would have to be rosemary with mint and on the side burn a little bit of sage, but not too much.
Great video! I love vanilla and lavender.
Ps: I loved you in Buy or DIY!
Lavender and chamomile is my favorite to use as a spray in my bedroom and on the sheets
Oregano is a great substitute for tea tree and it smells like Italian cooking 😊
Thank you for this beautiful video.
Please I want to ask how to get “wood scented oil” for my diffuser.
Happy New Year. Thanks for the excellent videos and ideas.
My favourites are Cheer Up Buttercup and Peaceful Night by NOW brand. But for single EO my best scent is LIME!
I make a room freshener /car freshener / fabric freshener out of orange oil and vanilla. If I need it to kill germs and I add a little "spirits" to the mix. It makes the whole house smell like an orange creamsicle.
I did tons of research and a few great brands are eden's garden and plant therapy. Personally, I prefer eden's garden bc they smell better to me than the plant therapy brand. A lot of eo's cannot be used around children under 10 such as eucalyptus and peppermint. Edens garden has a children's line that makes it easy to use without worry and those are the ones I mostly purchase for safety reasons. They have blends that are perfect for sleeping and sickness to diffuse at night in the bedrooms. I purchased a cleaning blend that's pretty nice that I add to my homemade cleaning spray bottle.... called cleaning blend. Instead of buying individual scents, I love having the synergies a lot.
Life's Little Moments... ..Plant Therapy also has a Kid Safe line/label for those eo’s that are safe for use with/around children. There customer support is awesome too!
Edens Garden and Plant Therapy are all I own. Do you have a preference for either Fighting Five vs Guardian from EG? I can't make up my mind. 😄 Bliss synergy is my fave from EG and Love Vanilla from PT.
Thanks for the combo suggestions.
The Essential Oil industry is unregulated so even if the bottle says '100% pure' does not mean it is actually pure essential oil.
Purchasers have to research the manufacturers if you're seeking consistent effectiveness; also research even basic precautions and guidelines for safe usage.
Love how you say basil and herbs or herbal 😁
Omg where do I start? Lavender def my favorite. Tea tree, rosemary, clove, sandalwood the list is endless
Off topic, you look beautiful. And I’ve been needing this kinda video!!!! Thanks 💕
Thank you for this video. Perfect timing for I received many vials of essential oils as a gift
I found EO in 2012 and have been hooked ever since. I even wear them as perfume now.
Géranium is my favorite!!! With lemongrass and bergamot 🙌🏽
Oh wow. I love that idea!
I thank you for this. I lost my sense of smell years ago due to sinus issues. That being said, my family can still smell and I want it pleasant for them.
