    Does anyone use them for beauty treatments? My friend gave me a sample of Heliocrysum (sp?) for my rosacea and its been amazing!!! Wondering what other oils can work as beauty treatments?

    For any of you ladies with little girls...I made a "hair spray" for my threenager to attempt to add some peace and calm to her life. I put two drops lavender and 2 drops wild orange in a small spray bottle (2oz I think) - then topped it off with distilled water. I use it to wet her hair for braids in the AM - or just spritz a few on her hair for an all day yummy smell - plus maybe one of these days it will calm her down!!!

    @Mamaof2: I'm researching making my own face serum. I know Frank is going to be in it. I have seen geranium, vitamin E...

    I made lotion the other day...so incredible. And am making a whipped lotion this weekend!

    I know a lot of you ladies hate MLM, and I generally do too. But I will only ever buy Young Living oils. I believe in their quality. A lot of other brands buy their oils from other companies and sell it under their label. Young Living owns all of their own farms, and as a member, you can go and visit each and every one of their farms too see everything in person. Yes, it's technically an MLM, but thy have a great rewards program to make it more affordable, and I believe that you get what you pay for. I prefer quality!!

    I use them a decent amount. I usually have a thing of baking soda mixed with some oil to sprinkle over our rugs occasionally befor I vaccuum. Tea tree oil in laundry is awesome, keeps the washer nice and clean as well. It's too humid right now for a diffuser but I'll make lil spray bottles to spritz around our curtains.

    We get a lot of herbs and spices and oils from mountain rose herbs. But I've also just gotten them from Amazon and Trader Joes.

    @Mamaof2: supports cellular function and helps reduce the look of skin imperfections...so it seemed a no brainer for me...
