Come.. let’s P L A Y!

Going on an adventure is always.. well.. an

ADVENTURE!  It’s filled with surprises including interesting twists and turns, to our everyday expectations.  Too much adventure can lead to anxiety and too little can result in emotional ‘boredom’.  Covid-19 was a perfect example of an adventure that has left us ALL in a different place than before, somehow.. and in some way.

 

E S S E N T I A L    OILS

 

Are volatile components that can accelerate and decelerate movement in the mind/body.  What in the world does that mean?
There are aromatics that can enhance creativity and those that promote sleep and relaxation.  Let’s look at Patchouli and it’s opposite smelling relatives of Citrus oils, like Orange, Lime, Grapefruit and Lemon.  

Wanna know more?!  Our citrus oils are GENERALLY cold pressed.  Meaning they were extracted from the peel of the fruit.  THIS makes them photo-toxic.  Keep them off the exposed skin if in the direct sun.  Our Lime oil is a steam distilled oil which makes it NON photo-toxic.  Combining these zesty aromas will tickle your senses.  Always a smile takes over the face.  They are so emotionally uplifting, that the brain chemical neurons actually become stimulated and our creativity increases as our emotional doubt begins to dissolve, naturally.  Do some creative writing after deeply inhaling a bouquet of citrus scents and see how your “pen” just flows…

 

P A T C H O U L I   essential oil is an entirely different personality!  It’s strong and intense and right in your …umm … nose!
Yes, most people have a love/hate relationship due to quality for sure (please try ours if you think you don’t like it) and what you are scenting it with.  Patchouli ALONE, dabbing a drop in the crease of your knees and elbows will keep bugs at bay, especially as you sweat and become a human diffuser!  If you like it?  Play with it as a perfume with other deep oils like Jasmine, Rose or Sandalwood.  Neroli will lighten it up and Mandarin is always so soft.  Use a combination like, 1:5,  one being Patchouli.  Try it in your diffuser first and see how you enjoy the ratio.  It will be different on the skin.  ALWAYS use a carrier oil like unscented Jojoba for extending the time it will stay on skin.  Natural oils only have a ‘perfume’ strength for the first 3-4 hours.

 

GO ON AN ADVENTURE!!

 

Do you love Patchouli?  Try brightening the scent in a diffuser or perfume with a few of these recipes:

 

Deeply grounded
  • 3 drops Patchouli
  • 3 drops Lavender
  • 2 drops Frankincense (serrata)

 

Wisely Creative
  • 4 drops Patchouli
  • 4 drops Tangerine
  • 3 drops Neroli
  • 2 drops Ginger (Co2)

 

*Recommended variety or distillation method of Essential oil is what I would use in a best case scenario for each recipe.  Feel free to substitute as you have or as desired.
