This year I’m finding myself even more grateful for the friends and family in my life. The different season of living this year has brought more of those things that are important to the awareness. So to day I’m sharing 3 recipes that are super easy to make as little thoughtful gifts for someone special in your life.
A few reasons why I like to make my own recipes:
1. versatile: I can mix and match the scents I like or the person I’m giving it to, likes.
2. inexpensive: the final gift may only total a few dollars but it’s unique and thoughtful to the person.
3. toxin free: I only use Young Living essential oils because their seed to seal promise and transparency in processing guarantees purity. in a world where companies dilute products to save a buck, quality matters to me. Fragrance whether perfumes or in scented products can contain 100’s of chemicals that the company doesn’t have to disclose due to proprietary laws- they are trade secrets. So if you have a headache or a rash or some other reaction, you have no way of knowing what you are reacting to.
Here are 3 great recipes for this season of giving:
