Pleasant Perfume Recipe
(Makes 2 ounces)

       Ingredients:

1. Melt Beeswax in pan over low heat. In another pan, add water and allow it to simmer.
2. Make a double boiler by setting your perfume jar in the water. The water should come up half way on the jar, but not to much to make the jar float. Pour off some water, if required.
3. Pour Infused oils into the jar and add ¹/₂ oz. melted Beeswax. Stir well until all ingredients are mixed.
4. Use tongs to remove the jar from the hot water. Add the Essential oils.
5. Stir well until thoroughly mixed. Place top on jar and allow to cool. Enjoy!

Facial Steaming

Face steaming is a good way to deep-cleanse the skin as it helps flush out toxins, dirt, and dead skin cells. Steaming also stimulates blood flow to the skin, adds moisture, and leaves your skin subtly scented. If you have asthma or bronchitis, this method is not recommended unless you are under the supervision of your aromatherapist, naturopath, or other health practitioner.

Atomizer/Spritzer

An atomizer, or spritzer is very good for quickly uplifting a room. They subtly scent the air, and even help purify it. Add 6 drops essential oil to every 1 oz./30mL spring water. Shake well before use.

Hair Rinses

Hair rinses are always nice to use after shampooing as they help remove shampoo buildup and leave your hair with a pleasing scent.
