Easy as 1, 2, 3,
One drop on my DIY necklace diffuser
Two drops on my DIY car diffuser
Three drops on my personal carry diffuser
I play Roller Derby and my gear bag can get a little smelly, so I use a few drops of Purification and Joy on cotton balls in a mesh bag inside the gear bag and it keeps it a little more fresh.
Great post. Like you said there are so many uses for essential oils and lots of things to do with just one bottle. However the amount of oil used also depends greatly on the the type of diffuser it's being used in.
One drop of any Vitality EO with my toothpaste every morning and night. Very refreshing!
I add 1-2 drops of Grapefruit and 1-2 drops of Tea Tree oil to my facial lotion/moisturizer! Thank you Y.L.
My favorite snack right now is Plain Greek Yogurt with added vanilla stevia drop and a few lemon vitality essential oil drops! It tastes like a lemon mousse but much better for you!
I put 3 drops of peppermint in distilled water and make an awesome room freshener spray
Hi Georgia, I also put 2-4 drops of peppermint, lavender or purification oil on cotton balls or flat cotton pads and put them in my air vent to make my car smell good, the past owner was a smoker and this is so refreshing and keeps me awake on long drives. Take Care.
I add 2 drops of vitality oils to my homemade tarter sauce when having fish.
Three drops of a vitality essential oil to a bottle of water! Always a refreshing drink anytime of the day. I'm not a water drinker, but with the lemon vitality, I drink twice as much water. So refreshing.
Love these ideas! Thank you :)
Me too Angelic! Thanks to everyone expressing their experience with EO.
