Essential Oil Safety - Patch Testing: When using a new essential oil or a fresh blend, it’s always a good idea to perform a simple patch test first to see how your skin reacts. Mix about 2 drops essential oil with about 1/2 teaspoon of a carrier oil, apply a small amount of the mixture to a discreet area of skin (like the inside of your forearm). Let it sit and observe the area for one to two hours. If your skin is sensitive to the oil, a reaction will often appear within the first five to ten minutes. If you notice redness, itching, or irritation, discontinue use or further dilute the essential oil before trying it again.

Essential Oil & Aromatherapy Recipes
One of my favorite things about essential oils is creating recipes that remind me of a season, a place, or even a favorite memory. Sometimes I want the house to smell like fresh pine at Christmas, other times I want the scent of a rainy afternoon, a tropical vacation, or a cozy fall evening.
Other days I might be making a room spray, bath blend, or another simple aromatherapy recipe to enjoy around the house.

Here you'll find a growing collection of essential oil recipes for every season, holiday, mood, and room of the house. Some are designed for diffusers, while others can be used to make room sprays, reed diffusers, bath blends, soaps, and other aromatic creations. Some are inspired by nature, others by places I've been or scents I've enjoyed, and many are simply recipes I love using in my own home.
