Happy Sunday to you all 🌻🎶💃🏼
It’s been a great day for gardening but now its chill time for me.
Working on a mosaic commission atm.
I made one of these a few years ago and sold it recently in the craft shop where I put my items. I could have sold it 5 times 🤩. One lady who missed out asked me to make another one 🤩
Hope to get it finished today so I can grout once dry then put gold leaf around the edges. Will post finished piece too.

Good morning to you all 🧚‍♀️

I have posted this info before but this week I was telling someone about it so thought I would re-post, with a bit more too. I think it's good info and needs to be spread around...

Having bought many bottles of 'nice' perfume from some of the big perfume houses over the years my way of 'smelling nice' has changed greatly as I now know what is in them 🦄

Did you kinow many perfumes use animal ingredients (I'm not a vegetarian but...) with a 'spray' element:
civet (a faecal paste from the a**l glands of the civet cat).
castoreum (a leathery emission from the ge***al scent sacs of the castor beaver).
ambergris (a briny and vomitous by-product of the digestive system of s***m whales).
musk (secreted from the sheath gland of the musk deer).

But wait for it... this is the one to blow your mind!!
Civet may be cut with hair or infant excrement.
How disgusting is that!!!

And I seriously doubt that these animals are alive after (not sure about the infants ??) 😧

And then you have the fixatives - coal tar, mosses, resins, or synthetic chemicals. 😧

Do I really need to go on about this???

I am finding it very hard to even use up my remaining bottles, they are in the cupboard.... probably will be forever!

I now make my own using essential oils or use blends available of essential oils.
Being a massive fan of Patchouli and Frankincense, I always smell sooooo good...

Why not have a try? It is sooo easy!
Depending on the oils you use you can make perfumes suitable for guys or gals.
Need oils, bottles etc? I can help you there 🧚‍♀️

# Wild & Wet Wednesday

It's a great day to 'aromatically' dress today with a warming oil lol. Cold and rainy here...
Some sugggestions of 'warm' oils are cardamon, black pepper, ginger, juniper berry, marjoram, lavender and rosemary for a start...

So, to use oils straight from the bottle or mix with a carrier oil? What is a carrier oil? Why do we use them?

Carrier oils (or base oil) are used to dilute your essential oils (EO) before you apply them to your skin. Many EO are too strong and concentrated to apply directly on to your skin. They also will help to distribute the EO evenly.

'Aromatically' dressing is when you place a small amount of carrier oil in a little bowl and add a few drops of your EO. Gently rub the mixture all over your body ideally when you've just come out of the shower and are nice and warm. You will smell fabulous and, depending on what EO you chose, will benefit from the EO properties all over!

Suggestions for carrier oils per skin types:

Normal - Fractionated Coconut, Hempseed, Grapeseed, Sweet Almond, Sunflower.

Oily - Grapeseed, Sweet Almond, Apricot, Jojoba, Sunflower.

Dry - Fractionated Coconut, Avocado, Sweet Almond, Rosehip, Olive.

With carrier oils there is no right or wrong, you need to test what is right for your skin. Everyone reacts differently to carrier oils.

I use Fractionated Coconut and Sweet Almond the most, my skin likes it.

My biggest suggestion is - try not to use 'cheap' essential oils or carrier oils.
It's your skin... treat it with respect and love😍

Having a home that doesn't smell of chemicals is not a hard mission to undertake. To help you along... take a sniff of that bleach you've got in the back of your laundry cupboard... Knocks you for six eh? Thought so!
So, what are you going to do about it? Join the minions and keep on buying the chemcials or go out of your comfort zone and try some new stuff???

I'm so hoping you will select option #2 🧚‍♀️

I can help you with option #2...
Let's pick a room first. Smallest room in house is the loo! So makes sense to start there I think?
We need a cleaner for the seat and actual loo; floor cleaning; and air freshener.

Today is air freshener - by far the easiest one to do!

What is today bringing you all? Work, play?
A bit of both I hope 🧚‍♀️
For me, its studying today... I'm doing the Practice of Aromatherphy Certificate. This will give me a recognised qualification in Australia in Aromatherapy. It's a fab course, learning so much and just loving it.

A total change to what I have been doing for the past 25 years or so. It's never to late to start something new. Follow those dreams, make it so!

Like doors are meant to be opened, hurdles can be jumped!

Oils on me today: DoTERRA blends - Console (my go to everyday oil blend, on my heart everyday) and Motivate (yep, it does just that lol, and being Friday we all need a bit of a kick up the bum somethimes 🤗)

Happy Friday all of you...
💜🕉️🔮💜

Did you know Patchouli is a member of the mint family?
