~~Once you have gotten a 'smallish' spray bottle, about 8-10 oz. (at Hobby Lobby, Menard's or some other craft or hardware store), wash it out & fill it w/distilled water.

~~Add 25-30 drops of your favorite essential oil or your favorite combination of oils.

Here are a few great suggestions for you:
  • Country Spice ~ cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, bay


  • Spring Morning ~ lavender, rose, geranium, rosemary, sweet orange


  • Earthy ~ sage, thyme, cedar, patchouli, frankincense


  • Romance ~ vanilla, sandalwood, ylang ylang, jasmine, nerroli, rose

  1. Where can you get essential oils? Are they labeled as such?

  2. Julie ~ You can find essential oils at any health food store & they are labeled as such, usually in their own area somewhere around the health & beauty aids section. The most popular brands are Aura Cacia & Amrita; both great brands.

    And REMEMBER...all you need are DROPS!
