"🔥📢 WEEKLY CHALLENGE TIME! 🔥📢
😍🤗 This week’s challenge should put a smile on your face! It’s all about experimenting with “happy” essential oils to boost your mood.
🌺👃 If you’ve ever used essential oils, you know some oils not only make you (or your home) smell great, but they also encourage you to relax or even boost your energy and productivity.
🤸♀️ Some can even help you feel happier!
🌸 This week our challenge is to experiment with happiness oils.
💡 Essential oils are believed to help create positive chemical reactions in your brain while easing stress.
🍊 If you want to lift the spirits of everyone in your home, try using an essential oil diffuser that contains a few drops of citrus oils such as orange, lemon or grapefruit.
If you don’t have a diffuser, you can use diluted essential oils on your skin (diluting is super important to help avoid any reactions).
Use a carrier oil (like fractionated coconut oil, olive oil, grapeseed, or sesame oil) and place about 6 drops in 1 ounce of oil and combine well.
🌺 Here are some popular skin-friendly essential oils:
Geranium, Jasmine, and Lavender
Patchouli, Rose, and Sandalwood
🧘♂️ No matter which ones you choose, be sure you use organic, all-natural oils, as studies don’t back up similar claims when you use synthetic oils.
