Blend essential oils together in a small bowl, then mix in the massage lotion. Warm gently in your hand and give your partner a massage. You can use for a full body massage or massage just the arms, legs and back or chest. Remember that any essential oil in small amounts can cause discomfort on mucous membranes so avoid massage near eyes, nose, mouth and other sensitive areas.	Bathroom Odors that need a Quick Fix!

OUT DOOR Flying Insect Spray This can be used by anyone doing outdoor activities when the bugs are around. This blend will help to repel insects and an added benefit for many folks these same essential oils will help them feel more invigorated and enthused during their outdoor activity. This is best used late in the day or early evening when the bugs come out! Lemongrass – 15 drops Eucalyptus lemon – 15 drops Lavender – 15 drops Peppermint – 12 drops Emulsifier – 1 teaspoon Body spray base – 2 oz. Blend the essential oils with the Emulsifier until mixed together well. Then add to the Body spray in a PET plastic bottle with a spray top. Shake well. This blend can be sprayed on shirt sleeves, pant legs, collars, your hair. NOTE: Avoid spraying into eyes or other mucous membranes. Use sparingly on children.	A Flying Insect Patio Blend Great for use in Any Diffuser – Preferably a soy wax tart warmer using electricity. Lemon or Lemongrass – 15 drops Cedarwood – 10 drops Peppermint – 5 drops Geranium – 5 drops Mix the above essential oils together in a glass bottle. Then place several drops in any diffuser although this blend works best in an tart warmers you can use it in a fan diffusers outdoors too but it won’t last very long. Add more essential oils to the diffusers as needed.

The Hunter and Fishermen’s favorite Soap Liquid Hand Soap (unscented) - 2 oz Anise – 20 drops Lemongrass - 20 drops Blend all together in a 2 oz PET bottle. Use a small amount to wash your hand prior to going hunting and fishing. Rinse your hands well, then dry. Helps to eliminate human scents so the fish will bite better!! A note of warning: We have several Bear hunters that swear by the Anise oil. Apparently it will help to attract Bears. Since we are not hunters we can not tell you if this is so. We assume that it is more because the bear cannot smell human scent more than anything else.
