Essential Oil Highlight : Vetiver

  My favorite new essential oil is Vetiver.
I am in love with it these days... and like to dab it on my wrists several times a day.

*  earthy --- it says "grounding" on the bottle.  
I can imagine that this is the essential oil that makes me feel like i played in my garden a bit this morning!

* reminds me of wild chamomile ---  my nose picks up a peppery, floral scent in this little bottle.  

I highly recommend mixing this bottle with a sexy, hard core rock and roll track on your ipod if you really want to ground yourself !!

Homeopathic Treatment for Allergies

All the trees are starting to get tiny buds on them.   Soon the skies will be raining pollen.
I picked up a homeopathic allergy treatment today.  I'm interested to see how it works for me this spring.   I typically sneeze a lot when the trees turn green.    I was told this adds a bit of the allergens to one's system consistently when taken several times a day and works similiar to allergy shots.    It also has a few ingredients that actually help with symptoms.  
I'm going to give it a try!   Have you had any luck with homeopathic treatments for allergies??  I'd love to hear about your experiences.

Buy Yourself some Nice Kitchen Suds!

 

I have a philosophy that one should buy nice kitchen soaps and suds.
If you are going to have these bottles sitting on your counter 24/7 - go ahead and buy something that delights you.      There are places to splurge in your home and this is one of my splurges.   Sometimes I even buy the really expensive stuff that's out there.    Whatever makes you happy.    I prefer something that's both environmentally friendly AND pretty to look at.    Get matching bottles, too!   It will make your kitchen counter look less cluttered.  

enjoy your home!  you are worth the fancy soaps, today :)
