Don't forget, you can buy Purification Oil any time from my Young Living web site!
I've been putting this off because I don't want to be self-promoting, but the fact is, I feel like I have learned about a lot of great uses for essential oils and haven't been sharing them because I don't want to sound like I'm selling something (even though, technically, I guess I am because I do sell them...).
Recently, this particular oil blend from Young Living is my favorite because of it's amazing ability to multi-task and I just have to share!

Purification oil, a blend of citronella, rosemary, lavandin, and lemongrass.
What can you use this oil for?
- bug repellant (apply topically - I even use it on my kids)
- treatment of bug bites (stops itching immediately, also topical application)
- air freshener (recipe below)
- uplifting and rejuvenating (when diffused or inhaled directly)
- to remove bathroom hard-water stains (I have not tried this one)
Let me tell you how I use it as an air freshener. I use a very small spray bottle - the travel size. Ideally, you want something glass or metal because essential oils can degrade plastic over a period of time. It's also good to make sure the bottle is opaque so that the oils are not exposed to too much light, causing them to break down prematurely. My bottle is metal. Here's what I put in it:
5-6 drops Purification
fill it up the rest of the way with filtered water
Make sure to shake right before spraying each time, to mix the oil with the water temporarily
That's it! I can tell you, that seemingly benign recipe has completely wiped out bathroom smells and baby diaper smells. It will even help with burned food smells (I have experience with this!). If you consider that you will basically never have to buy air freshener again, at $23 this bottle has paid for itself already.
One of you, however, will not have to pay for it at all!
Last month I accidentally ordered 2 bottles of Purification instead of one. So I'm going to give one away! I'll also include a dark glass spray bottle for you to mix your own air freshener. Contest will run through midnight Saturday, May 26. I will draw a winner Sunday, May 27.
