Essential oils

Hubby and I talked about getting into essential oils for a little while. They seem to be the newest craze, however there does seem to be some science behind them.

One day when we were at the local mall we came across Escents. Its an essential oil store and has everything you can think of, diffusers, oils, carrier oils/lotions, roll-ons, candles, soaps, etc.

We decided to buy a diffuser and try it out. We ended up going with the one below. It ran us $70 plus tax.



It looks natural, has a low profile and has a red/white light that you can leave rotating through, off or on a specific color. It also runs constantly or intermittently and has an auto shut off.

When we purchased our diffuser we received a free Orchard essential oil and purchased 2 bergamot oils as they were $8 each and a high lavender.

High Alpine Lavender Essential Oil (CAD $27.00)

Let it go. Lavender essential oil has been used for over 2,500 years as a natural sedative, and is known for it's calming effect on the brain and central nervous system. It aids with headaches, migraines, nervous tension, hyperactivity, stress, anxiety, depression and insomnia. It's the balance you've been searching for.

Bergamot Essential Oil (CAD $20.00)

Bergamot essential oil helps with self-acceptance and allows us to find validation from within, while supporting the digestive system and rejuvenating the skin. It is ideal for its uplifting properties when we feel fatigued, stressed or anxious. Enjoy a few drops of self-appreciation. We purchased it when it was $8 so quite a good deal.

Orchard Aroma Blend (CAD $18.00)

This sweet and warming blend combines spicy Ginger, uplifting Orange essential oils with the sweet scent of Peach. This blend evokes the memories of juicy fruit on a warm summer day.

Last week we picked up a cinnamon essential oil and a new one from their holiday line:
