CHEMICAL FREE FABRIC SOFTENER - Using a fabric softener can leave your clothes softer, reduce wrinkles, and give your clothes a pleasant scent. Commercial fabric softeners make your fabrics softer by leaving behind a film, which is made up of potentially harmful chemicals. Skip the risk and the expense by making your own laundry softener. This is much easier than it sounds—to make our recipe, you only need two ingredients: white vinegar and essential oils.
White vinegar is th...e perfect fabric softener if you have sensitive skin and cannot tolerate the chemicals in regular fabric softener. It contains acetic acid, which removes leftover detergent and mineral deposits. The essential oils work to create an appealing aroma that is natural and safe for your whole household.
Ingredients 16 ounces (500 ml) white vinegar 3 drops Lemon oil 3 drops Lime oil 3 drops Grapefruit oil Citrus peels (optional)
Instructions
Add citrus peels into 16-ounce (500ml) glass bottle or jar. Fill up to halfway with vinegar. Add in essential oils and shake the bottle well. Fill remainder with vinegar. Let sit for at least one week before use. The application of this recipe will depend on your washer. You have three options: One, during the final rinse cycle, manually add the vinegar mixture (top loading washers only). Two, if your washer has one, add it to the fabric softener cup and it will dispense at the right time. Three, if your washer doesn’t have a fabric softener cup, add the mixture into a fabric softener ball and put it in with your clothes at the beginning.
Depending on the size of your load, you can use anywhere from two tablespoons up to 60 ml at a time. If your water is harder, you may need to use more. A good rule of thumb? Your laundry should NOT smell like vinegar when done, if it does, you’ve used too much.

Lemon Oil - Top Tip for chemical-free microwave cleaning. Fill a microwave-safe bowl with water and four drops of lemon essential oil, and "steam clean" your microwave. For an extra zing, add some sliced lemon too. Zap the bowl on high for five minutes (or longer if necessary), which will loosen any gunk in there, so you'll be able to easily wipe down the microwave with a damp cloth.

Not all #storms come to disrupt your #life, some come to #clear the path and your way #forward

Chocolate, Orange and Oatmeal Face Mask A decadent chocolate facial mask recipe is ideal for most skin types. It’s filled with antioxidants that rejuvenate the skin and will leave your face smooth, soft, and glowing and essential oil for its mood lifting and cleansing properties.
Ingredients
... 40g cocoa 30mls honey 2 tablespoons heavy cream, or sour cream 3 tablespoons oatmeal powder. 10 drops doTERRA Wild Orange Oil
Notes: If you don't have oatmeal powder, simply use Old Fashioned Oats and pulse in a food processor, blender or Magic Bullet until it becomes powder If you want to use a brush, but don't want to hunt down a facial fan brush, a small paintbrush or basting brush can work perfectly. This face mask cannot be made ahead and stored. if it's over chilled you cannot thin it out enough to use. So I recommend mixing when ready to use for best results. Instructions
Method: Using a small bowl and spoon or spatula, mix all ingredients until well combined. Apply immediately on face using a clean brush or fingers. Gently massage into skin. Lay down, and leave on skin for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off with lukewarm water. Notes
WHY IS THIS CHOCOLATE FACIAL GOOD FOR YOU? Chocolate is a great mood booster. Its scent and properties elevate levels of serotonin – a natural antidepressant. Chocolate produces endorphins in the brain that create feelings of happiness which help reduce stress. Even the smell of chocolate can have a calming effect. – pretty cool huh?
Cocoa powder is a wonderful and powerful antioxidant. It protects and frees the skin from free radicals, that cause significant damage to skin layers. German researchers found that the flavonoids in dark chocolate absorb UV light, help protect and increase blood flow to the skin, and improve skin’s hydration and complexion. – I knew there was a good reason to LOVE chocolate!
Oatmeal is gentle on the skin, yet highly powerful. Not only is it a gentle exfoliant for removing dead skin, but it can also provide soothing relief from sunburn, poison ivy or other irritations. Oatmeal is also said to heal skin and open pores. It’s been used to promote healthy, beautiful skin for a long time.
Honey is a great anti-bacterial agent, deeply cleanses your skin, and opens up clogged pores.
Cream adds moisture to your skin. Hydrates your skin and softens delaying the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Wild Orange essential oil is cleansing and detoxifying and the aroma leaves you feeling energised and uplifted.

UPDATE: 13.06.19: I've just refreshed the water and added another 1 drop Melaleuca dissolved in white grain spirit (vodka) Ridiculously, the flowers look pretty much as good as when they were purchased more than three weeks ago
Essential oils have many uses and applications. These flowers are three weeks old, I dissolved one drop of melaleuca in two drops of 40% proof white grain spirit and added it to the water along with the sachet of flower food that came with them when I put them in the vase. They've been in a warm room. In all that time, they haven't shed so much as a petal, drooped, or shown any real sign of deterioration.
