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.
One of the women in our Essential Olie Tree, Sue has tried and tested Cedarwood essential oil against carpet fleas.
It lead me to searching for a recipe that is easy to make and use that’s also low toxic.
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 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.
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.
I have to admit when dōTERRA released the turmeric essential oil at the 2018 Global Convention I was super excited to start using it. Primarily, for it’s internal benefits for anti-inflammatory and anti-rheumatic purposes.
It was another story when I got my first bottle, as I was slightly repulsed by the smell. I am however pleased to say that it’s since grown on me. Nowadays, I like the spicy base note depth it adds to blends. Continue reading Turmeric Rollerball Blends
I love the dōTERRA yoga collection of essential oils, especially Ascend (aka Arise).
The only downside with loving a blend is that I go through it far too quickly.

The first time I smelt litsea, I was taken back to my childhood to the smell of summer and ice poles. I love the lemongrass, citrus, lemon balm smell! Although it has the citrus undertone, it’s actually a herb and one of the only herbs I haven’t experimented with in the kitchen. Continue reading Litsea Rollerball Blends
I actually love using dōTERRA’s proprietary blend called InTune. It was created to support our bodies during times when we are required to be focused. However, as it comes in a rollerball of pure essential oils, we found it just too strong for our kids, so we started to dilute the rollerball into other rollerballs bottles and added some lemon essential oil to tone it down to their preferred aroma.
This is our youngest daughter’s favourite blend to wear to school, and when sitting down in the evening to complete her allocated homework.
