Does anyone else use essential oils???

Peppermint and spearmint are to refresh and invigorate, I use it to lift my spirits. I suffer from depression, and mint helps keep me on an even keel. I use creme de Menthe coffee syrup in my coffee or cocoa to help me deal with the day.
I bought a bottle of scented oil that smells like cabernet. Since I'm not allowed to drink wine, at least I can sit around the house and sniff it!

Okay...I went shopping! I bought the Bergamot (Myste...it says it's also good for depression-you may want to try this one too) I'll let you know in a few weeks if there is less of me around!
I also bought a bottle of Ylang Ylang
I read the benefits and thought....what the heck???
And...I bought the burner.
I did not find any hazlenut.
Wish I had....
I also bought a massage oil - Orange scented.
That's it for now!!!!!
So they have wine scented oil too?? That's cool!

I tried the Ylang Ylang oil in the diffuser. Ummmm.....not sure if I am too fussy on that smell.
Kellye, what did you use today? Was it the nag champra? (what does that smell like?) or the hyssop?

I used the hyssop, it smells wonderful, the apartment smells as if its not ours LOL Funny thing is, Peedoodle sniffed at it and then sat in my spot on the couch which is next to the oil burner so that I can supervise it and he stayed there. I guess he likes the smell?
I got my peppermint, spearmint, also got grapefruit and sweet orange! Later tonight I'm going to make my bath salts. I also got some coffee-scented candles!
Kellye, where did you get the oil Nag Champra? I told my husband about it and he's all eager to know, ha ha. Perhaps we can trade? I'll send you something you can't find and you send me that?
Ghyslaine, the hazlenut is nice, but can be overpowering. I wouldn't recommend it unless you really like the smell. You have a "The Body Shop" in Ontario don't you? That's where I got it, I would think that store would be more popular in Ontario than B.C. But if you can't find it and you would like it, it's small enough I can send it easily.
coffee, mmmm. Have to find it...

Tamme, that's so sweet of you to offer to do that!
I don't really want you to go to any troubles for me though...
There are Body Shops in Ontario. Not around here though because I live far from the big cities but, I will check it out when I go the next time.
I woke up with a headache today. I wonder if I'm having a reaction to just waaaay too many essential oils in a short time. Last night, I tried the Ylang Ylang in the diffuser, then took a hot bath with lavender and rubbed myself down with a massage oil containing orange...Perhaps I should tone it down a notch or two.
What was really funny though is that when I slipped into bed, hubby kind of stirred in his sleep, rolled towards me and started sniffing in the air (still sleeping mind you...) then he abrubtly rolled over to the other side. I don't think he liked the smell of me! :LOL: I asked him this morning and he doesn't remember doing that PLUS.....he smelled the Ylang Ylang and told me he likes it. I'm still unsure...

Thnks Kellye! That would be so great but I wouldn't want to put you out, you live so far away (Australia right? Please don't laugh if I'm wrong, I'm so bad at geography
) ...saay, you tell me how much it is and how much all the shipping will cost and I'll send it to ya, I don't have any kids so I can afford it, I don't know about you though and wouldn't want to put any pressure on you...Hubby keeps calling me from work "Did she respond yet? Did she respond yet?" He's so funny. Totally a one track mind.
Ghyslaine, it's no problem, like I said above, I have no kids so it's no problem for me to send a little bottle or two. So unless you go to the big cities often, let me get some for you! Just send your address to me in a private message and I'll get it out to you within a few days :tounge2:.
