With so many emotional and physical benefits of course I love to add black spruce to my diffusers around the home.
It’s been a fabulous variation to the usual respiratory blends that I use. Particularly, over the past month with the smoky air. But, it’s also great to diffuse after a particularly smelly meal. Or, when you discover uneaten food in school bags! Or, with some baking soda in smelly sports shoes!
I love the spicy scent of black spruce essential oil. It’s great to have spicy almost perfume-like notes of essential oils to add depth to your pure-fumes and personal care products.
When I first smelt black spruce it reminded me so much of my beloved douglas fir essential oil. It’s that fresh earthy scent coming from the needles and branches. Teleporting my imagination to a forest. My happy place. The scent immediately soothes and relaxes me.
I was completely drawn to using it in pure-fumes as a top note with a difference.
This is a great recipe once your ready to branch out from ‘starter’ oils. Litsea is one of those oils that I believe everyone should have in their essential oil collection. I call it my icy pole oil x sherbert oil, as it has this delicious sweet citrus scent. Hence, this diffuser blend name of Sweetness.
I can’t get enough of it, and especially at the moment to help evoke feelings of summer.
I haven’t shared too many of my homemade cordial recipes yet. I started to make Pineapple Cordial as we got a few pineapples in our box divvy that were either dry or very ripe. It’s a great way to even use up pineapple that has been cut up and not eaten.
I love making cordials in summer! We are having such a warm spring that I’ve started to make fruit cordials earlier this year.
Well, as promised, here is my signature rollerball pure-fume I have made for a handful of my wholesale customers.
You see when each of my wholesale customers attend a workshop, not only to do we have fun, but they also receive a special thank you gift from me. This pure-fume blend is an example of one of those thank you gifts.
I often get asked what herb essential oils I use in the kitchen, and how much. Well, to answer the question simply, there are quite a few herbs in the dōTERRA range.
Let’s go through my favourite dōTERRA herb essential oils.
I call them my 1 drop wonder oils, as less is always best.
Have you every experimented with Grapefruit Diffuser Blends? I love using grapefruit as an alternative citrus to wild orange and lemon essential oils.
It’s divine! Try one of our Grapefruit Diffuser Blends that I have created.
I love the fresh citrus tart scent you get when you diffuse it. It’s so fresh and uplifting. Try playing around with your essential oils to create your own diffuser blends or using my creations.
I have an absolute love for Grapefruit essential oil at the moment.
My favourite way to use grapefruit essential oil is to drop 1 drop into a glass then top it with soda water. We have a soda stream, as it’s more cost effective. I find it incredibly refreshing. It’s also a great way to detox our bodies, and a digestive tonic. I find I always feel better whenever I drink it.
However, I also love it’s citrus scent as a top note in rollerball pure-fume blends, and it’s equally pleasant smelling diffused.
I have this saying, “everything smells better with Douglas Fir”. Some of wholesale customers agree, and some don’t. But, I honestly can’t get enough of the uplifting smell of douglas fir.
Do you have an oil like that too? That you can’t get enough of, and that you like blending with lots of other oils?
Were you lucky enough to get a bottle or 2 of Citrus Bloom?
I managed to get 1, but wished I brought at least 1 more bottle, as I can’t get enough of it. I used alot of the bottle making a signature ‘pure-fume’ blend for a selection of my Essential Olie Tree Wholesale Customers.
They all loved it.
