Anyway. I get a lot of requests from friends and acquaintances who want to know what to do with their essential oils now that they finally have them. So I thought I would give you a little 24 hour recap of what I would normally do with mine in a day. Besides applying a drop or two of calming oils to my wrist because I SCREWED UP and deleted my whole post!

I would usually start the day by doing a load of laundry. I make my own laundry detergent, and I always add a few drops of essential oils to it and it makes my whole home smell so good. I gave the instructions on how to make laundry detergent in a previous post. I'm crazy about this stuff…just not so crazy about the actually doing laundry part.
Last night I pulled my scalloped potatoes (high carb, who am I kidding?) out of the oven and some cheese sauce crawled up my arm and burnt the crap out of me. I like to keep a little package of vials of essential oils by my chair so I pulled out my tiny vial of lavender and rubbed it on. Even though it hurt like hell last night, today it is gone!
I took a long, warm bath last night and added a few drops of ylang-ylang for their purifying effects. (I had just finished a scary movie and wanted to get all that horror off of me!) I also added a tablespoon of milk to the bath so that the oils wouldn't float on top of the water, but disperse into the water. I never add essential oils to the water until I have been in for awhile and the water cools off some. Hot water and essential oils DO NOT MIX!
I saw a post previously on FB about getting a cut up lemon or lime, some rosemary twigs (thanks, Chele) and water. Boil them slightly and their aroma fills the home. It was delightful. I then poured it into a mason jar and lit a tea candle on top. I noticed after a day that the lemon smell was gone. So I added a few drops of sweet orange essential oil to it. Mainly as a mind screw! People come into my home, see the lemon, lime and rosemary in the jar, but smell oranges. HAHA
I also felt a small sore throat coming on yesterday. I gargled with a glass of water and I added a few drops of tea tree and sage oil. I spit the water out, because I don't swallow! Seriously, be very careful about ingesting essential oils. They are very, very powerful.
The main point I want to get across to you is to experiment, use and have fun with your oils. I am going to go and work on the editing part of my book, Earth's Healing Essential Oils, so I can hurry and get this book out on the market. It has over a thousand recipes that you can use in all areas of your life. I can't wait. Please pray that we get it published SOON. Share, Like and Comment!
I am going to play with my dog now…she is looking at me with impatience. Speaking of dogs, spike lavender is what we use to keep the fleas away! Just put a few drops in your hand and rub on the dog, they think you are petting them and have no clue you are repelling fleas!!!
Much healing to you,
Vannoy
