Runny Nose Relief
There is nothing worse than having a runny nose that you need to wipe too often with tissues, which in turn causes a sore red chaffed nose.
Never fear, I have an idea…

Lice Prevention Spray
Not sure about you, but I really get paranoid over head lice, so I created this prevention spray. I have been using this recipe since I created it in January 2015, and touch wood, we haven’t had any incidents at home where my kids have come home with head lice from school.
Static Cling Spray
I hate it when I get a new dress and it clings like no tomorrow.
Does this ever happen to you?
Liquid Hand Soap
Making your own low-tox liquid hand soap is probably the most commonly asked question in our Essential Olie Tree when our customers are wanting to start to swap out toxic household items for low-tox items.
Skin Protector
I came up with this idea after spending 4 days in hospital with my daughter Bella in 2017. She broke her foot and a few places and needed surgery so I stayed with her, and unfortunately I caught a cold. My nose was raw from using tissues, and unfortunately I only had a limited number of oils as I never left the hospital from the moment the ambulance took us there. I did have a plain dōTERRA lip balm, so I applied some to my nose to act as a barrier against the tissues, and I loved it.
Once we got settled back home, I thought I would test out whether the dōTERRA lip balm worked on my skin as a protector/barrier for when have my hair coloured. And, it works! I find the colour doesn’t penetrate as much into the skin on my forehead and ears. I use it every time I go.
As an alternative, it also works with the correct-x ointment. But, my favourite is the herbal lip balm. Simply because I usually have this, as it’s my favourite lip balm.
Wash and Moisturiser
Last week I shared how I use the dōTERRA Beautiful Body Mist as a quick and easy hair mask.
This week, I am sharing with you how you can also use it as your face cleanser and moisturiser* plus as a body wash. How versatile and awesome is that! It’s particularly great when your travelling and don’t want to take too many products with you, or if you don’t want to buy excess products or for when you run out. Personally, this is one of my favourite hacks. Continue reading Wash and Moisturiser
Easy Hair Mask
I have previously shared with you my hair mask hack already, but this one is super easy.
But, this is one way I have discovered how to use it a little differently, as it contains nourishing carrier like avocado (makes your hair shiner), coconut oil (supportive for hair growth and shine) and sunflower seed oil (an Omega 9 which stimulates healthy hair), and essential oils like frankincense (supports your scalp and moisturises hair follicles) and bergamot (supports blood flow to your scalp). So, make sure you also rub it into your scalp! Continue reading Easy Hair Mask
Pits Spray
Here is my version of The Inspired Little Pots deodorant spray that I like to call ‘pits spray’, which can double up as a magnesium spray for cramping and a spray for clothing that likes to cling to your skin/stockings.
Wipes
Here is my version of wipes.
You can adjust the quantity of essential oils for little tushies and use different oils depending on what you want to use them for. For little tushies, you might like to consider using lavender. For cleaning, then consider using OnGuard or Lemon or Tea Tree or even Oregano or a combination of essential oils.
