The hustle and bustle of the holiday season is over. Most of us have packed up the decorations, kids are back in school, and things are beginning to get back to normal. During this time of year we may find ourselves with moods that swing all over the place. It's not unusual to find ourselves unable to get going when we need to or to relax when we need to.
These two simple but effective natural formulas may help you regain a bit of sanity. The first blend is for those days when the coffee just isn't doing it or you find yourself in a mental fog. The essential oils used in this formula will uplift your spirits and help you get moving again.
The second mixture should help you relax and let go of tension. It even helps with falling asleep and staying asleep when your mind is in a whirlwind of thoughts.
You will need three essential oils for each and a carrier oil. I chose Grape Seed Oil because It is very light and penetrates the skin quickly but other carrier oils work well too. You may want to try Jojoba Oil, it has a very long shelf life and is often used in beauty products. To get the best results you will want to use pure therapeutic grade ingredients. I get my essential oils and accessories from Spark Naturals. Not only do they have high quality products, but they also have exceptional customer service and great prices.

You will need a carrier oil. I chose Grape Seed Oil
and three essential oils for each formula.
You will also need something to mix everything in. It needs to be at least 30 ml or 1 ounce.
And you will need roller bottles, I used 10 ml dark colored bottles for longer shelf life.
Pour one ounce of the carrier oil into your mixing bottle.
And carefully add the essential oils. You may want to use a dropper for better control.
Cap the bottle and gently turn up and down to mix then transfer to roller bottles. Note: if you use a 1 ounce roller bottle you won't need a separate mixing bottle. I chose 10 ml (roughly 1/3 oz) as they are easier to share. ♥
Be sure to label and your done!
When you need a little mood enhancement just roll a bit on the inside of your wrists, on the sides of your neck, or over the heart.
Each of these formulas will make enough for three, 10 ml, roller bottles
Always keep capped when not in use and store in a cool dark place.
