Welcome Recipes

My website contains a ton of DIY recipes, but the following page contains a selection of our most popular go-tos when people are first getting started! Feel free to check out my shopping page for bottles and supplies making many of my favorites! And be sure to get your oils HERE

If you make an oil purchase through my link for the first time, please be sure to let me know right away because I have a free gift for you!

NOTE: All the oils on my website refer only to Young Living essential oils. This is the only brand I recommend, since so many oils on the market today can actually be toxic.

THROAT SPRAY

I have been known to be a little paranoid about “choking hazards,” so I’ve never been a fan of throat lozenges, especially for children. That’s why this throat spray is my favorite! And it can be used as needed throughout the day or night. I love that!

ROOM SPRAY

Why use air fresheners that don’t actually “freshen” the air? Most popular (and expensive) room sprays contain harmful chemicals that mask odors and often give people headaches. Why not make a natural room spray that smells better, is less expensive, and contains heavenly, natural scents, instead of harmful, synthetic chemicals!

Aroma-Therapy dough

This would be a great DIY project for the kids or grand kids! It also makes a great teacher gift, or unique hostess gift! Couple it with a bottle of essential oil and a recipe card! Or just make some for yourself! Use Aromatherapy Dough to de-stress, to relax while in traffic, during study, or take a jar with you to counseling sessions!

Diffuser Bombs

Make some gorgeous diffuser bomb blends to set beside your diffuser for convenient refills!

SOOTHING SKIN BALM

Soothing Cuticle Balm would make a thoughtful gift for the ladies in your life: daughters, mothers, neighbors, teachers, friends. Packed with wonderful nutrients, this balm is certain to bring relief to dry and cracking cuticles!

PERFUME

The more I learned about the way our skin absorbs everything we put on it, getting into the blood stream and wreaking havoc upon our health and hormones, the more I desired to get my hands on the “real stuff.” Thankfully, I found out I could make my own perfume, which is not only healthier and less expensive, it also smells better than the fake synthetic scents I had gotten used to. Ever since I “detoxed” my life, I can’t stand the smell of “synthetic,” and I can detect it a mile away!

LIP BALM

My lip balm recipe is easy, good for you, and great for your lips! And not only is it inexpensive and easy to make, it’s also safe enough to eat (though I don’t recommend taking a bite).
