4 The Love Of Oils

Bathroom Tile Cleaner

Let’s start today with a smile and a lot of hope!

There was a time, before we embarked on this oily journey, when Spring cleaning meant pulling out the bleach and other harsh, chemical cleaners that assaulted our health, but also our noses. Not any more!

So just in time for Spring, I have scoured the net for household deep cleaning recipes that are not only tested and tried to make sure they work, but will be a sheer delight to your senses.

Bathroom Tile Cleaner

Bathroom tiles can be the worst to clean. All the soap scum and gunk just builds up and it requires some serious scouring action to cut through the grime. This cleaner features the gentle scrubbing power of baking soda teamed with Tea Tree and Thieves essential oils for extra cleansing “umph” and a delightfully fresh scent.

BATHROOM TILE CLEANER
Ingredients
1/2 cup baking soda
6 drops Tea Tree essential oil
6 drops Thieves essential oil
water
Scrub Brush

Directions
In a small dish, combine the baking soda and essential oils.
Stir in a few tablespoons of water to form a paste. If there are still lumps of baking soda, go ahead and add a few drops of water at a time until the paste is a good spreadable consistency.
Before applying your Bathroom Tile Cleaner, spray down the walls with water. This will also help the paste stick to the spaces in the next step. Determine which areas of the tile are needing extra attention since your shower might just need extra manpower around the soap dish or around the drain where it’s easier to get a buildup.
Use a brush to apply the paste to the tiles. Pay special attention to the space between the tiles and don’t forget a thin layer over the flat surface of the tile itself. These can get pretty yucky!
Let the paste sit for about 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, come back and use your small scrub brush to brush in between the tiles. Use the larger brush to gently scrub the surface of the tiles. This will gently clean away soap scum that you didn’t even know was there. But when it’s gone…oh boy!
Use running water to rinse the tiles completely clear.
Rinsing may bring to your attention a few spots that need extra care. Whip up another quick batch of paste and get rid of those areas quickly and without nasty chemicals.

Room Spray

Let’s start today with a smile and a lot of hope!

Gather your supplies and your favorite essential oils to create a simple Holiday Room Spray in less than 5 minutes.

It’s super easy! The base for all these recipes is exactly the same:

2 oz spray bottle
1 ounce distilled water
2 tablespoons witch hazel or 100 proof vodka
12 – 20 drops essential oil (see some of our favorite festive blend ideas below)
The alcohol and witch hazel are added to allow the recipe to last all season long. Adding the witch hazel or vodka will not affect the scent as much as you think. Give it a try and let us know what you think. You can choose to use only distilled water, but your room spray will not last as long.

Festive Diffusor Blends

Let’s start the day with a smile and a lot of hope!

Christmas is right around the corner and I love to use my diffusor to make my house smell cheery. I have several that I have tried recently and I have to say that they all remind me of when I was little and we spent the holidays at my grandmothers. My grandmother came from Germany and was what I would call “old school” but when it came to the holidays she was very traditional. Her house during the holidays always smelled like cookies and sweet candies it would just depend on what she was baking in her kitchen.

Below I will include some diffusor recipes that I am using in my home as I write this.
I will also include a link for a diffusor.

Carpet Cleaner

Let’s start the day with a smile and a lot of hope!

With the holidays upon us and all the family that will be visiting some deep cleaning might be in order.
Most of us have carpets in our homes and let’s face it if you have kids or pets they may have seen better days. I have scoured the internet for a good carpet deodorizer/cleaner to help with the issues at hand. I have kids and there have been pets in my home, not now besides the cat, but it was a problem before. Here is the recipe that I found that works the best.

CARPET CLEANER & DEODORIZER
Ingredients
1 cup Baking Soda
15 drops Purification essential oil
6-8 oz. glass shaker bottle
Directions
Mix the ingredients and store them in a glass and stainless steel shaker.
To use, sprinkle over your carpet and let it set for about 5 minutes.
Vacuum as normal.
Store in a safe place away from children. If you store it open in your linen closet, it will keep the air fresh and deodorized. No stagnant, stale closet smell!

Carpet Cleaner and Deodorizer for strong odors or heavy pet areas, we add another step that integrates a simple spray cleaner recipe. We combine the Deodorizing Carpet Powder and with a DIY household liquid spray cleaner for powerful, natural results. The combination of the two is perfect for when you need a little boost in your cleaning.

To use with the Deodorizing Carpet Powder, sprinkle the carpet with powder. Allow powder to sit on carpet about 5 minutes.
On the areas that need extra attention, lightly spray with the All-Purpose Non-Toxic Cleaning Spray. The mixture will bubble a little.
After about 30 seconds, dab up the damp mixture and vacuum up the remains.

Coughing

Let’s start today with a smile and a lot of hope!

Let’s face it, not everyone covers their mouth when they cough and they spread the nasty everywhere. Our trouble starts when the nasty is in the kids class. There is no way to avoid it, you can’t isolate it and no matter what, you are probably gonna get some form of it.

I know when my kids bring it home they are miserable for what seems like weeks and sometimes certain kids in my family it does hang on for weeks.

We have had the sickness in our home recently and it was my daughter that brought it home, it seems like it is always her, but at night it is the worst. She was coughing so much at night that it would wake her up. Sometimes she would cough so much that it would make her gag and almost vomit. She was miserable and she was finding it hard to not be sleepy in school.

Yes, I would send her to school like that. In our area we are instructed “every child every seat, every day” Also we are told that unless they have a fever or vomiting they need to be in school. Without a Doctors note an absence should not happen. I agree with what you all are thinking, “If people would keep their sick kids home then my kid wouldn’t get sick.”

So back to what we used on my daughter to help with her congestion that made her cough most of the night. I found a recipe for a vapor rub that seems to work as well as store bought but with fewer chemicals.

Ingredients:
2 table spoons organic Coconut Oil
6 drops Lemon oil
6 drops Peppermint oil
10 drops R.C.
2 drops Raven
2 drops Theives

Apply as needed to chest and back

Tummy Trouble

Let’s start today with a smile and a lot of hope!

Tis the season for belly aches, constipation and bloating, at least in my house. We love to over indulge in those great holiday foods and sometimes it gives us all tummy trouble. As we all know 4 kids in my house have very different needs when it comes to tummy trouble.

For my 6 year old daughter we use a fabulous oil that is made just for little tummies. “Tummygize” comes already diluted and ready to use on those belly aches so there is no mixing or measuring. Just pop on a roller filament and roll away the uncomforting symptoms.

For all the other wonderful people that live here we use a blend of oils and we call it…..you guessed it, Tummy Trouble. I found this recipe helps with all the things that can cause a belly to be uncomfortable and it is so easy to use.

I will include the recipe below:

10 ml roller bottle
8 drops Lemon oil
8 drops Peppermint oil
8 drops of DiGize oil

fill remainder of bottle with a carrier oil (fractionated coconut oil, almond oil, grapeseed oil)
apply to stomach area in a clockwise direction as needed.

Ache Away

Let’s start today with a smile and a lot of hope!

Hello again my oily bunch!
