My Experience

I love learning about essential oils. Because Pine Essential Oil can be used to sooth sore muscles it would be useful after exercise. I think this will help my husband. I'm still nursing my daughter so I won't be using it until I'm done, just to be safe. I also like that it can be used as a moth repellant by adding a few drops to a piece of wood and placing it in my closet. I love when natural oils can replace harmful chemicals!

My Experience
Miss N is four months old. When I first used the wrap she was tired and fussy. After carrying her for about two minutes she calmed down. Ten minutes later she was asleep. The instructions are a series of pictures, which were a little difficult to follow. But, there are lots of videos on how to tie a wrap. Because the fabric is so long, it might drag on the ground and get dirty if you are trying to tie it outdoors. She felt very secure in the wrap. Thee layers of fabric were holding her close to me, the two that cross over and the third that fully wrapped around. I also like that it will help keep her warm during outdoor walks in the winter. However, she and I might get too warm in the summer. I love the grey color. It is neutral so it is appropriate for both a boy or a girl. Overall, she seemed to really be comfortable, which makes me happy.

Penny Royal Essential Oil Review

Uses: A fragrance for homemade detergent.

13% of the profit from each purchase helps end human trafficking.

My Experience

I'm still learning about essential oils. I've read some conflicting information on this oil. I've read that this oil can help the fight against fleas. I've also seen that it is only used in detergents. I've also read that it can be very dangerous, especially when consumed. It does have a nice scent, but to be on the safe side I don't think I will use it.

Honey Bee Smooth Review



About Honey Bee Smooth
This body scrub is as natural as they come. It's free of harmful chemicals such as phthalates, PEGS and parabens, which are found in many other scrubs. It has no sulphates, silicones or mineral oil. You'll love this simple and effective formula, made from 100% natural honey, brown sugar, and vitamins. The honey and brown sugar cleanse away the dead skin cells on the surface, making way for a healthier, glowing layer of skin to shine through. You deserve to use the safest, most effective skin care products on the market - and that's exactly what you get with Honey Bee Smooth.

My Experience
I like body scrubs because of how they exfoliate and leave my skin feeling smooth. This scrub works but could use some improvements. I like that the ingredients are all natural: honey, brown sugar, and vitamins. However there isn't a label on the container so I had to look at the website to find the information. It would also be helpful to know what vitamins they are referring to. The brown sugar and honey separate and don't stay mixed well. I tried stirring it with my finger, but the clump of sugar was very hard. I recommend stirring it with a spoon before each use. I do like the way it smells. It rinses off easily, and my skin does feel nice.

Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil Review



About Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil
Aroma: Camphoraceous scent with sweet, citronella notes.
Use: It works great for insect repellents; shown in a study to be effective treating respiratory illnesses.
Therapeutic Properties: Antiseptic, bactericidal, deodorant, fungicidal, & insecticide. 
13% of the profit from each purchase helps end human trafficking.

My Experience
Essential oils are relatively new to me. I can definitely smell the similarity to citronella. I like that this oil can be used to repel mosquitos. Here in the northwest we get a lot of them after sunset in the summer. Last year, during soccer practice, my husband used a bug repellant that smelled awful. I'd make him shower immediately when he got home, and I'm sure it was filled with chemicals. I'm excited to use this to make our own repellant this year.

My Experience

I'm new to using essential oils. I like how each oil has many different uses. Citrus scents are one of my favorites. They boost my mood when I'm feeling grumpy or tired. Bergamot does this for me. This would smell great diffused or in DIY bath salts. I saw a recipe that mixed Bergamot, Lavender and Orange essential oils with Epsom salt.
