Nighttime Relaxing Diffuser Blend
Bergamot is one of the brightest, sunniest important oils I know … however it’s likewise a little bit shy when it comes to being out in the sun; you see, it’s a phototoxic essential oil.

Clove Essential Oil
Here is one of my favorites especially for blocking irritations of the mouth and lips. Clove is the natural blocking agent used for dental work before humans synthesized it into a chemical compound. When I get irritations on my mouth, I put helichrysum essential oil to help it, but I put Clove essential oil to get rid of the irritation. This has been used successfully inside the mouth for bothersome issues as well. I don’t…
Procrastination
The urge to put off, ignore, postpone those things we need to do. My dentist knows about that, I was supposed to go in for a checkup in April, and I finally did it last week.

Procrastination happens when our will gets paralyzed because we don’t do what we know we should…

Pet Marking Be Gone
Could this adorable fuzz ball completely wreck carpeting in pursuit of “claiming” territory as her own? You bet! No matter how many times we’ve tried to get her to go potty on the potty pad (what a concept!) she has this one spot in the back of the living room that she prefers. Lotsa money, scrubbing, and cleaning of the area does not seem to affect her marking habits one bit. Cut to the chase…….

For spiritual awareness, prayer, and meditation, Frankincense essential oil stands alone in its power.

Frankincense essential oil is my go-to oil that I use as a layer along…

Ants: Don’t like Peppermint or Spearmint. I can personally testify to the Peppermint thing, which was the only way I was able to win the war on hordes of ants marching into my home one summer.
