Simply Earth Essential Oil Subscription Box
I’ve been dabbling in the essential oil world for a few years now. After trying a few different companies I’m still not completely brand loyal. I have a few companies that I order from regularly. In my initial foray into essential oils I tried out a number of companies right off the bat and wrote a post about the pros and cons of each essential oil company, I plan on writing an updated post soon with some more companies and thoughts added but it’s still a pretty accurate post. The one thing I have not done is order oils from some of the more expensive companies. I prefer to not…

Calming Essential Oil Roller Bottle Blend
I love experimenting with new essential oil blends. This particular blend I made quite awhile ago and has had a lot of use in our house, can you see how empty the bottle is in the photo? That’s my proof. I wouldn’t describe myself as a naturally calm person. I’m a highly sensitive person, raising a highly sensitive and emotional child, that doesn’t result in a lot of calm in our house. I always joke that my daughter and I would make good TV if we were on the Amazing Race, the pressure would completely break us. It wouldn’t be pretty but I’m sure it would make “good TV”. So,…

The Miracle Essential Oil Blend – Great for Headaches!
I got my first essential oils three years ago. I was a total skeptic but my theory was “it doesn’t hurt to try!” Now, three years later I think I can finally put myself in the fully convinced category. Let me start off by saying that I’m not loyal to one oil company. I’ve had three companies that I’ve purchased from since the beginning and I still like all of their oils. I purchased some roller bottles awhile ago and have been creating my own blends and wanted to share a few of them here over the next while. If you are looking to buy some roller bottles I’d…

Saje Wellness – Pocket Pharmacy Review
Like all my essential oil posts, I’m not getting paid or compensated to talk about certain oils or companies, I’m just as girl who started out a little skeptical about essential oils and thought I’d share my journey for any others out there that may feel the same way. You can read my previous posts about essential oils here. Two weeks ago I went to a seminar at Saje given by the co-founder of the company, Jean-Pierre. It was a very informative seminar, not because he really told us anything about essential oils that I hadn’t already heard or known but I found it so very interesting to hear his personal…

My Favorite Essential Oils & Ways I Like to Use Them
It’s been over a month now since I’ve received the bulk of my essential oils and I thought I’d share a few of my favorite ways I’ve been using them. Since I got a little overwhelmed at the number of oils I have I decided to just start using a few of them for now and once I know the uses for those ones I’ll look into using some of the other ones. Essential oils are usually diluted with a carrier oil because they are so potent on their own. For the most part I dilute the oils in coconut oil (I just melt the coconut oil and then add…

My Favorite Places to Buy Essential Oils
Welcome to the second installment of skeptical Chantel’s journey with essential oils! (Check out the first post here.) In order to get the full experience with essential oils I’ve ordered a variety of different oils from a few different suppliers especially since some had better prices for some oils and others for other oils, or some had certain blends that others just didn’t have. Just to give a little spoiler alert for a future post: I haven’t tried all my oils yet but I’m definitely seeing a difference thanks to a few of them, more of that to come. So when I was on the search to figure out where to…
