Hey There, Happy Mail!

When doing research on more natural household, as well as skincare, products, I quickly learned that some items were considered a staple ingredient.  One of largest monetary investment items were the essential oils.  Not only were good quality oils usually moderately priced for a small vial, but also usually several types were combined in any given recipe.  After much deliberation, I finally placed my first oily order last week which arrived yesterday.  Not only will this give me a good foundation of essential oils to use in making different products, but I also found various blends which I plan to use for diffusing as well as topical applications.

I ended up going with Eden's Garden for my essential oils.  They offered a lovely "Create Your Own" set which I took advantage of to purchase 12 oils.  I also ordered coconut oil to be used as a carrier oil, an inhaler, 2 10ml amber bottles, and pipettes.

Single Oils:
Lemon
Tea Tree
Sweet Orange
Eucalyptus
Lavender
Peppermint

Synergy Blends:
Anxiety Ease
Rise and Shine
Head Ease
Breathe Easier
Citrus Cream
Pest Defy

I am already using the Anxiety Ease in my inhaler and the Citrus Cream was amazing last night used in the diffuser.  The single Oils were selected because they seemed most common for products, household cleaners especially.  Hopefully soon I will be able to try some recipes.

What are your suggestions for must have natural cleaners?  How about skincare and personal products?
