5 DIYs using Premium Starter Kit Essential Oils
If you have been wondering what other ways you can use the essential oils in your premium starter kit other than diffusing and applying topically. Keep reading, this is the article for you. You may be surprised that how much money you can save by just D-I-Y-ing.
LAVENDER PILLOW MIST
Spray this onto your pillow before you hit the bed – Lavender is one of the most trusted essential oil that supports restful sleep.
What you’ll need:
- Lavender essential oil – 10 drops
- Unscented Witch Hazel – 1 teaspoon
- Distilled water
- Tinted glass spray bottle (60ml)
What to do:
- Add Lavender essential oil, 1 teaspoon of unscented witch hazel into the spray bottle and fill up with distilled water. Shake before each use. You may wish to spray inside of the pillowcases if your sheets/pillowcases are light colors, as the oil in the mist may stain.
BYE BYE ANTS SPRAY
If you noticed there’s trail of ants marching in your kitchen, this is the secret recipe for you. Bonuses – toxic free and smell great!
What you’ll need:
- Peppermint essential oil – 10 drops
- Lemon essential oil – 8 drops
- Unscented Witch Hazel – 1 teaspoon
- Rubbing alcohol
- Distilled water
- Tinted glass spray bottle (60ml)
What to do:
- Add essential oils and unscented witch hazel into the spray bottle. Fill up the rest of the bottle with an equivalent portion of distilled water and rubbing alcohol. Shake before each use and spray on the ant trails you find. Repeat this daily till the ants are gone.
(Note: Turn away your face if you are spraying this mist onto areas that are above your eye level, so as to avoid the mist from getting into your eyes. Don’t make this noob mistake like me, and trust me you will get very teary eyes – Tested and proven!)
FUNKY SMELL BUSTER
This is THE effective toxic-free smell buster that works every time! I have tried this for poop-nami accidents that happened in baby’s room/car, food smell that lingers in all your rooms after cooking because you have an open concept kitchen, smelly shoes and freshening up your post-bombing session in the toilet – It works every time.
What you’ll need:
- Peppermint essential oil – 15 drops
- Unscented Witch Hazel – 1 teaspoon
- Distilled water
- Tinted glass spray bottle (60ml)
What to do:
- Add Purification essential oil, 1 teaspoon of unscented witch hazel into the spray bottle and fill up with distilled water. Shake before each use.
RELAXING EPSOM SALT FOOK SOAK
Need some extra help to relax your tired feet after a long day of standing or workout? This recipe works well for my family.
What you’ll need:
- Lavender essential oil – 10 drops
- Peppermint essential oil – 8 drops
- Epsom Salt
- Glass container
What to do:
- Add Epsom salt into glass container (do not fill up to the brim as you need some space in the bottle to shake things up later), followed by the essential oils, close the lid and shake container to give it a good mix.
How to use:
- Scope 2 tablespoon of essential oil infused Epsom salt into a tub of warm water (water level to be at your ankle), soak your tired feet into the mixture for 10 minutes.
FOAMING HAND SOAP
What you’ll need:
- Lavender/Thieves essential oil – 20 drops
- Unscented Liquid Castille Soap – 4 tablespoon
- Distilled water
- Foaming Soap Dispenser Bottle (250ml)
What to do:
- Add distilled water into the bottle till about 75% full, followed by essential oil and unscented liquid castile soap, top up distilled water as needed (Leave about 1.5cm space from the brim). Tighten the foaming pump and give it a good shake to mix up the soap solution. (This sequence produces the least foam/mess when you tighten the foaming pump).
Last but not least, remember re-use the bottles after you are done, they just need a good wash.
We only have ONE planet – Earth.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle.
