I've used EOs since my teenage years when it became increasingly popular. Back then, I would diffuse the oils in a burner that was heated by tealight candles. Subsequently, I "upgraded" to an electric burner. More recently, I used it to make soap. Sometime last month, I participated in a "make & take" workshop which opened up many avenues where EOs can be used. After the workshop, I signed up to be a member. (doTerra is a MLM company but I'm not interested in recruiting members. I'm only interested in using EOs in my daily life.)

| I received my starter kit several days later & have been playing around with it. I made a further "upgrade" to an ultrasonic diffuser based on the knowledge that heat destroys the beneficial attributes of the oils. |
 |
| My collection thus far. Some of the oils are really expensive at over $100 for a 5 mls bottle. Some of the common oils like citrus oils are just over $10 for a 15 mls bottle. So I'm going to have to order a bit each month. I've made a doggy breath spray, doggy odour spray, deodorant spray & a perfume roll on. The perfume roll on is my favourite. I wear it every day. |

| I also made some lip balm but I feel that it is too hard. Perhaps I'll half the amount of beewax from the recipe next time. |
 |
| DIY car freshener. |
 |
| Moisturising foot soak. |
 |
| Made just this morning, toothpaste. At the moment it's more of a dry paste than a liquid paste due to the presence of coconut oil. |
