I saw Dr Hill at the 2017 Australian Convention in the Gold Coast. Let me say, he was amazing! He gave so many great tips and protocols on using the world’s most authentic pure essential oils.
I really loved his eye health tip of using a dilution of dōTERRA’s Salubelle (aka Immortelle) everyday around the eyes for eye health. It will also support the appearance of younger looking skin.
From the moment I first discovered dōTERRA’s propriety blend, Whisper, I loved it. The first blend I ever put with it in the diffuser was dōTERRA’s proprietary blend called, Motivate. To me, it smells like chocolate! Continue reading Whisper Diffuser Blends
dōTERRA’s proprietary blend called Whisper works with our individual chemistry to create our own personal signature pure-fume. For me, it’s a musky aroma. For others, it’s a floral aroma. I often receive compliments when I wear this blend as a pure-fume.
My youngest daughter is at that age where she needs to look after her skin, however, as she is still only young it needs to be simple.
We have had lots of success with reducing and clearing breakouts with our oldest daughter, and even with myself, with dōTERRA’s HD Clear.
I was so excited when dōTERRA released citronella essential oil, as it’s only previously been featured in their outdoor / insect repelling blend called TerraArmour (aka Terra Shield).
Citronella is commonly known as an insect repellant, which is great at this time of the year in Australia. I love having options, and playing with blends so that we don’t ‘smell like insect repellant’ but rather smell like a divine pure-fume (aka perfume).
But, did you know that citronella is much more than that?
The repellent outdoor blend. Says it all, doesn’t it?
I remember when I first starting using dōTERRA essential oils many years ago and buying a bottle of TerraArmour to use in summer. You see, I had been searching for something natural and effective ever since our oldest daughter Isabella was a toddler, so I was keen to give it a go. Glenn and I watched a YouTube clip on how to use it, and couldn’t wait for my order to arrive.
Do you smell a chocolate undertone when you smell dōTERRA’s insect repellent blend, TerraArmour? I do. I find it utterly addictive. Personally, I feel it’s from the combination of Arborvitae and Vanilla Bean Absolute.
TerraArmour has been one of our household staple essential oils, especially during mozzie season. This year, my girls started piano lessons, so Glenn and I sit outside chatting quietly whilst they are in their lessons, but there are always lots of mozzies.
In it’s simplest form, I throw a bottle of TerraArmour into my handbag and we apply a few drops from the bottle on our skin. It has a fractionated coconut oil in the blend, so it’s safe to use it straight from the bottle. Another way we use it, is to add 20 drops into a 50ml spray bottle with cool boiled water and a pinch of salt, and spray away.
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.
