EEEEK! MICE!
Organza bags with drawstrings – 4 or more Peppermint - 4 ml Spearmint – 4 ml Blend the essential oils together in a suitable glass jar then add to the Aroma beads , shake well and let the essential oils absorb into the beads. This may take 24-48 hours. Then place 1 tablespoon scented beads in each of your sachets and place in the area where the mice like to enter your home, cabin or car(?). You will have to monitor the scenting strength as you will have to ‘recharge’ the beads as needed. We have some we use that are still going great after 5 months. (We also have Mint Scented Aroma beads available premade if you don’t feel like making your own. Organza bags are available on our site too.) |
Keep the Moths away
Sandalwood - 30 drops Lime - 20 drops Lavender - 20 drops Geranium - 20 drops Aroma beads – 2 oz Organza bags with drawstrings – several Blend the essential oils together in a suitable glass jar then add to the Aroma Beads, shake well and let the essential oils absorb into the beads. This may take 24-48 hours. Then place 1 tablespoon scented beads in each of your sachets and place in your closet or storage boxes. Remember do not pack the clothing tightly around the scented bead filled sachets as they will work better if you leave a little “air space”. |

REMOVING SMOKING ODORS
Lavender – 8 drops Lime – 8 drops Lemon– 6 drops Orange – 6 drops Emulsifier – 3 mL Room spray base in a Trigger bottle – 8 oz Blend the essential oils and Emulsifier together and add to the Room Spray. Shake well and spray the air to help remove smoking odors and if necessary on other surfaces to help eliminate the smell of something burnt. Please do not let pool on any surface as essential oils in this blend could mar the paint if left to sit to long. This blend is best used as a quick – clean the air of odors room spray |
MUSCLE WARM-UP LOTION
Coriander – 9 drops Rosemary - 9 drops Black Pepper - 6 drop Ginger - 6 drop Massage lotion - 2 ounces Marathons are very common this time of the year. We have a big one here in Minnesota along Lake Superior’s North Shore called Grandma’s Marathon. So being it’s not too far off I have been thinking of all those folks that run or jog and well may need a little extra ‘warm’ up before heading for the run. Blend these essential oils together and blend into the massage lotion. Apply and lightly massage your leg and calf muscles prior to your run. Or you can use it AFTER the RUN too. To ease those aches and pains. |
