"Did you have a hard day at work. Kids fighing. Need some calm in your life. Why not whip up a DIY calming spray to spritz around the room. Lavender is such a calming spray and smells good too. You can also make a spray to keep colds away or bugs. I love my essential oils and these sprays are so easy to make. Just make sure you research if they are harmful to pets before using. You can alternate the oils to find one that is not."

"I would love to use makeup remover pads but they are so expensive and they have so many chemicals in them. This is a great way to save money and cntrol what you put on your face so it is a win win for me. You can get the cotton pads at the dollar store too. I use Frankensence on my face already so I have that on hand. You can also use tea tree too. Make sure they are pure 100% oils.What oil is your favorite to use on your face?"

"My daughter and granddaughter uses so much chap sticks and I am always concerned about what is in them so I am going to make some homemade ones. They love the candy ane ones that come out at Christmas so I think I will make pepprmint ones but I like the idea you can make different flavors.These are so easy to make and you can make them in tins or lip balm containers. They will make great gift ideas too. i think I will use beeswax instead of the petroleum jellyas I am not to found of the ingredients in it. Thanks for thegreat idea."

"Do you want a body oil that i somethinng none of your friends or coworkers have and love the smell of vanilla then why not try out this vanila clove body oil. People will be trying to find out who has it and where it came from. Make some for gift ideas too. So simple and easy to do and you can even add in some extra oils or carrier oils. I just love these homemade ideas."

"Making homemade soap is on my list to do and after reading this I have got to try it. It seemed like it would take a long time to do but now it looks so easy. I love to control what will be going on my family to keep chemicals off. You do have to make sure the oils are 100% pure therpudic grade and make sure you can use that certain one. I use On Guard every day and so does my grandkids but never used it in soaps. Great idea."
