Just wanted to say Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there, and to give all the kids of those great moms some simple, natural gift ideas.
Start with a 1/2 ounce brown or cobalt blue glass bottle with a dropper. Add your base carrier oil, (almond, coconut, jojoba). Fill the bottle about 3/4 full of your base oil. I highly recommend you use almond oil as it will not add any scent to your project. Add about 15 drops of lavender, 10 drops of rose, and maybe a few drops of sweet orange oil. Place the lid on your small brown bottle and shake well. Open your bottle and take a nice deep breath of your new relaxing essential oil blend.
This blend is nice when added to hot bath water for a soothing, relaxing soak. To make your own relaxing scent bath salts just add 1 Cup course sea salt, 1/4 cup baking soda, and about 15 drops of your new essential oil blend. Shake or mix together well. Store in a dark colored container, or use immediately. Just a tip – the longer these products sit together in an air tight container, the more scent you will get.
Adding about 10 drops of your oil mixture to your rinse cycle on the washing machine adds a light, fresh scent to your cloths. A few drops of your new blend in any unscented natural lotion, soap base, shampoo, or conditioner makes your products one of a kind that you can now “layer” yourself with for a lasting simple, natural perfume.
