Hey guys! So after doing some thinking and then research, I have decided to start using essential oils. It is something I have thought about doing recently. I had heard of them a while ago and just now got really curious.
Why? First of all, I am all for things that smell amazing! Two, I want to sleep better. Third, I want to use oils for my skin.
Naturally I did some research on essential oils. I found a lot of things out that they are great for. Let’s go over some!
- Essential oils can be incorporated into your beauty regimen, such as maintaining your hair (adding some in shampoo or conditioner) and in DIY face masks (how can I not include that lol).
- Oils can be used around the house, in homemade cleaning supplies,freshening up the trash can, or just making a room smell nice.
- Essential oils can be used in teas.
Where can you find essential oils? TJ Maxx, online through DoTerra or Young Living, and I’m sure a few other places.
Thank you for reading! Let me know what you think of essential oils and if you have any favorites!

I love essential oils I use them daily. I use Doterra, I always recommend people research a brand before using. All oils are not the same.

I read it! It was a really good post. Now, so far I have tried five different oils so far and I love to diffuse them. I haven’t tried anything else with my oils yet but enjoy researching and learning about them.

Thanks Kara! I have more DIYs if you get bored this weekend. Diffusing was how I started too~ it’s the ‘first one’s free’ gateway :0).
