There are so many ways to use essential oils in our daily life! I love to make my own rooms sprays, rollers, pillow sprays, and perfumes. Click through to watch on Youtube for timestamps. Step by step room spray directions  Want your own Young Living Essential Oils?   

I know it is pumpkin spice season, but as soon as the first blush of autumn is in the air I am all about Christmas Spirit. This lovely blend has orange, cinnamon and black spruce in it.  I love it so much that I made a room spray out of it.  Want to make your own? The directions are here →  Room Spray   Just use Christmas Spirit instead of Purification.                             It is literally in all of my diffusers right now.  I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. - Charles Dickens

Spring is time for some fresh clean light scents for the diffuser! Anything you put in your diffuser and you love could just as easily become a room spray. So think of your diffuser experiments as future room spray favorites.  My # 1 favorite blend:  I discovered this one by accident when making a recipe for a spray for my kids before they went hiking. It was to keep the creepy, crawly, bitey creatures away. It smelled so amazing! We use this on the dog too.  This next one is my preferred night time blend. It can be sprayed on pillows for a restful sleep and dropped into a bath to aid relaxation. Diffuse for relaxation or sleep.  Sage has a wonderful fresh smell!  Another orange option. I like orange! My newest diffuser. I really like it! I wanted something like my aria for my sewing room/office. 

This weekend a friend and I did a "make and take" class with a twist. While I helped with the projects, she did Itovi scans.  We had six ladies attend and it went smoothly with a few at each station and one being scanned.  Here are the creation stations: Purification room spray (in the kitchen) Thieves foaming hand soap Fruit and cheese trays, plus fruit infused water (it's still in the fridge) pitcher with fresh fruit and ice. I also get out my Ningxia bottle during the party and offer it to any who want to try. It is such an amazing juice that supports our whole system.  Peppermint sugar scrub in the dining room. Lavender bath salt in the dining room. I put a dish towel at each station because life is messy. I also set up a little demo of what to do with your empties, my foaming pods and a few products to try like the lavender lotion.  The top bags are the door prizes. A thieves cleaner (d...

Here are a few pictures of my class set-up. I bought glass roller ball bottles at Amazon . I like the ones with the metal ball. I put the lids and rollers in a crystal dish 'cause its pretty. The little green drawstring bags are to put the rollers in when they are finished. The ladies chose a gift bag color and put all the finished items and the recipe cards in to take home.  The crocheted bag contains the oils for the class (another blog on these bags later!). I color coordinated the recipe and bottles.   Pink - pain blend, Blue/Purple - Relax, and Green - Focus We also made a fall scented room spray in the brown spray bottles.  My recipe cards are printed on index card paper Avery 8387. Aren't these pretty? I love sparkle and color! The labels are clear printable Avery 18695. I put them on ahead of time while the bottles and my hands were oil free.  This is my first periscope (scary) about the class.  A few minutes ...
