Essential oils to promote love and peace

August 31, 2018 BEAUTY, LIFESTYLE, WELLNESS

I love natural scents. Pine, cedar, lavender, sandalwood – I love them all. I took an in-depth course in Aromatherapy in 2011, to learn how to incorporate these wonderful scents into products. The course taught me how to blend the essential oils and also how to use them therapeutically.

Essential oils such as lavender can reduce stress and promote love and peace..

Since then I have developed many blends that promote a variety of things such as peace, love, sex, joy, and prosperity. It’s amazing how beneficial essential oils can be on your health and mental state. Essential oils are also good for romance and love.

Essential oil blend to add peace and love in your life

Currently I am enjoying the combination of Lavender, Ylang Ylang and Palmarosa in my bedroom. I use this combination of essential oils to promote peace and love in my life. I add them to my diffuser so that the scent permeates my bedroom before I go to bed. This keeps me in a positive frame of mind even when my life is chaotic.

Adding Essential oils to your bath

You can also add this blend of essential oils to a carrier oil (my favorite is jojoba) and store in a dark-glass dropper bottle. When you’re feeling anxious, upset or simply in need of some calming, shake the bottle and add 10 drops to a warm bath. You don’t need to use very much in order to benefit from the positive effects and the oil will soften your skin in the process.

Using this blend on your body

You can also use the above mentioned carrier oil blend by spreading a drop or two on your pulse points to keep you calm before an exam or before an important meeting.ย  These oils will also open your heart chakra, which can make you more open to people and relationships.

Seminar date to be updated soon. In the mean time, spread some love of your own. The world needs it.

*Be careful getting in and out of the tub whenever you add oils.

** Never apply essential oils onto your skin directly from the bottle

***In the case of pregnancy please consult with your health care professional before using.

For external use only. This information does not replace a prescribed medical course of action against anxiety or stress.

10 Must-Have Items for this Fall

Things that are unique often find their way into m Things that are unique often find their way into my heart and sometimes my home. They are often things that you wouldn't normally put together but when you do, somehow their differences don't stand out but instead enhance each other. 
.
I've found this to be true with people too. Sometimes you meet someone so opposite to you that you think it will never work. But then, upon further consideration, you realize that they complement you in ways you'd never have thought of. And they end up becoming your best friend or mate.
.
Glazing black clay is a bit like that for me. Scary at first, as I'm never sure how its going to turn out. But somehow I always end up loving the result.
.
The granular white glaze came out a speckled cream color on two pieces. The blue plate was coated in black terrasigilata prior to adding the granular white glaze and the finish turned out blue! So unusual but so cool! 
.
I love experimenting with glazes, I love the uncertainty of it all. How about you? Do you enjoy the surprise or do you prefer the tried and true?

These are some hand-built plates I made out of bla These are some hand-built plates I made out of black clay and then glazed in blue and white with an overlap (first two from top). The last plate/small bowl is glazed only in white with a portion of the black clay left unglazed. 
I find it interesting that the black clay is so black when raw but so brown once fired. Its like it turns into my favorite dark chocolate. Or maybe I'm subliminally sending the message that I want chocolate and my clay is responding? ๐Ÿ˜‚

Now I'm in the process of putting my life back together and so I decided to redo my office. Nothing like a fresh start!

I love the tropics. There is nothing that makes me feel better than a day at the beach. Or listening to the sound of palm leaves swaying in the wind. .
I also do a specialized type of interior design called Neuro Design, which focuses on bringing nature inside. So when @photowall_sweden contacted me, I jumped at the chance to use their beautiful wallpaper and this is the result!

I know I still haven't posted my bowl yet. I can't I know I still haven't posted my bowl yet. I can't seem to find the right plant to put in it (I am using it as a small hanging planter) so I decided to post this plate I made during one of my first few lessons. I went to the market today and saw some beautiful strawberries and thought they'd be perfect to show the plate off.
.
In reality this is a plate with a high side. Its 1.5 inches high so I guess it's actually a really low bowl? ๐Ÿค”
. 
Either way it's perfect for serving small fruit like strawberries, blueberries and raspberries and that makes me happy! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

Happy Sunday!!
The bowls have finally arrived from the UK!! And I The bowls have finally arrived from the UK!! And I am so excited to show you what I made during my lesson with @karaleighceramics starting with this little guy. A ridged tasting bowl glazed in the deepest blue ๐Ÿ˜ (is that blue not the deepest blue youโ€™ve ever seen?? Thank you Kara for using your beautiful glaze for this ๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ˜˜). I absolutely love the little ridges I was able to create on the inside (see second photo). Stay tuned for the crown jewel tomorrow ๐Ÿ˜

Truth be told, it started out as a small bowl attempt which flopped but then morphed into this spoon rest which I thought might be practical. Turns out that I love it and use it a lot! .
Isn't it funny how sometimes a mistake can turn into something you โค
