Product Review: Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Mist Humidifier from Seneo

I use essential oils for many purposes every day & diffusing them is one way that helps my family stay healthy. I have used this Ultrasonic Aromatherapy Mist Humidifier from Seneo almost every day since I have had it.

This diffuser comes with a power cord, measuring cup & User Manual. Just take the top off of the diffuser, fill it with water without going over the fill line, add you favorite essential oils, put the top back on, plug it in & you’re ready to go. There are buttons on the front of the unit to turn on the misting & the lights. WIth the Mist button, you can choose to run the unit for 1 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours or continuous spraying as well as choosing between light & heavy misting. With the Light button, you can choose to have the lights cycle automatically through all of the colors or choose just one color plus choosing the brightness of the light or not to have light at all. I like that I can run the mist without having the light on because I sometimes use this on my bedside table at night & don’t want extra light that will keep me awake. When this unit is running, it is completely silent so I’m glad that it turns itself off automatically when it runs out of water.

When I use this unit in the bedroom, it only takes 2-3 drops of essential oil to fill the room with scent but when I use it the living room it takes more because it’s a bigger space. How much you use will also depend on the strength of the scent that you choose.

Product Information:

• 300ml Capacity & Output: It holds enough water to run for well over 6 hours, produces a powerful mist, and has several therapy functions.
• Aroma Humidifier Function: Use ultrasonic movement to produce a vapor that fills your room with wonderful smells and delivers the beneficial power of the oil to everyone in your house.

Trying more essential oils: Penny Royal Essential Oil & Pine Essential Oil #simplyearth

I have received 2 essential oils that are both new to me. They each came in 15ml amber glass bottles & are 100% pure essential oils. I'll tell you what I have learned about each of these oils & how I am using them.

The first oil that I received is Penny Royal essential oil which has a nice minty scent. This oil is mainly used to scent commercial detergents so I have added a couple of drops on my dryer balls. I also add a couple of drops in my diffuser for a nice scent. It mixes nicely with geranium, rosemary, sage or citronella.

Now that I've told you the two ways that I am using this oil, let me give you this Warning: You will really need to do your research before using this oil as it is a very dangerous oil. If you are pregnant or nursing, avoid this oil completely & do not use around children. It is extremely toxic if ingested so never take penny royal internally for any reason & do not apply it to your skin.

The other oil that I received is Pine essential oil. This oil has a lot of uses but my favorites are in a diffuser & while cleaning. I love the scent of pine in my diffuser & it provides a stimulating & refreshing aroma in my home. It mixes well with grapefruit, cedar, rosemary, sage, eucalyptus or lavender oils. Another way I use this oil is for cleaning my floors. I add 1/2 cup of white vinegar & several drops of the oil to a gallon of warm water in my mop bucket. My floors get clean & my house smells great!

Both of these essential oils are from Simply Earth & I love a company that gives back! 13% of profits are donated to organizations committed to serving others.

Product Review: Soap.Club 100% Natural Soap #Soapdotclub

I subscribe to several makeup & skincare subscription boxes but I've never seen a soap subscription before! I was given the opportunity to choose a bar of my choice for review & I couldn't wait for it to arrive.

I went to the Soap.Club 100% Natural Soap website to choose my soap & it was a very hard decision. They have over 70 different scents of natural soap! I narrowed it down to a few of my favorite scents & eventually I chose the Sandalwood Soother scent. Sandalwood has always been a scent that I love & it is also a scent that my husband would be able to enjoy as well.

My 5.3 ounce bar of soap arrived in a cute box covered in multi-color stripes. The Sandalwood Soother is made with Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Hemp Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Water & Essential Oils/Fragrances. As soon as I opened the box I could smell the wonderful scent. At first, I just used it to wash my hands but then I took it into the shower & bathed with it. The soap lathers nicely & rinses off cleanly without drying my skin. I've used this soap so much since I've had it & I sometimes wash my hands just so I can use it because it smells so good!

Soap.Club is a membership site that delivers 100% natural handcrafted soap right to your door every month or you can just purchase individual bars. Soap.Club handcrafted organic soaps are made from 100% natural plant oils, butters & colors. They are gentle, moisturizing & safe for all skin types. And these soaps are Made in the USA!

Product Reviews: Camellia Oil Moisturizer AND Tamanu Oil from BEAUTYOILS.CO #beautyoils

I find that as I'm getting older, I prefer using oils rather than lotions or creams on my skin. And I'm always happy to discover new oils. These two oils that I received from BEAUTYOILS.CO are both new to me so I was happy to get to review them.

The first oil that I received is the Camellia Oil Moisturizer. This oil is also known as Tsubaki oil & has been used in Japan for centuries. This oil is rich in Omega-9 fatty acids as well as Vitamin E, plant collagens & proteins. It is designed to moisturize both skin & hair. The only ingredient in this oil is 100% Pure cold-pressed Camellia Oil.

This clear oil comes in a 2 fluid ounce amber plastic bottle with a press top. I am using this oil as a moisturizer for my skin, not just on my face but also on my hands, arms, legs & feet. The oil absorbs quickly into my skin & has no scent. It softens & smooths my skin without any oily feeling. I use it first thing every morning & again at night just before I go to bed.

The other oil that I received is Tamanu Oil. This oil comes from the South Pacific where it is well known for its skin healing properties. This oil has anti-inflammatory, antifungal & antioxidant properties. It can be used for bug bites & stings, sunburns, minor cuts & scrapes as well as helping to heal scars & areas prone to stretch marks. The only ingredient in this oil is 100% Pure cold-pressed Tamanu Nut Oil.

This light green oil (kind of looks like olive oil) comes in a 2 fluid ounce amber glass bottle. I have used this oil on a couple of old scars, to help sunburn & on bug bites. My sunburned skin was relieved more quickly with this oil than with the gel that I had been using & the itchiness from the bug bites was quickly lessened. The oil absorbs quickly & has an earthy scent which I really like.

I have somewhat sensitive skin but have not experienced any irritation from using either of these oils. They are both paraben-free, petroleum-free & cruelty-free.

The Camellia Oil Moisturizer can be purchased both on Amazon & on the BEAUTYOILS.CO website.

The Tamanu Oil can also be purchased on Amazon & on the BEAUTYOILS.CO website.

Product Reviews: 20 Bead Assortment #BeadAssortment20 and Celtic Cross Aromatherapy Locket #CelticCrossNecklace

I was so happy to be approved to review two jewelry items from Cornucopia Brands. I received their 20 Bead Assortment & the Celtic Cross Aromatherapy Locket.

Last fall, I started experimenting with making some of my own jewelry. I spent time looking at jewelry-making products online & in some of my local craft stores. I bought a few items & managed to put together a couple of necklaces & bracelets that I am quite proud to wear. It is a lot cheaper than what I can buy in a store & I can customize each piece to look exactly like I want. When my 20 Bead Assortment arrived in my mailbox, I couldn't wait to open the package to look at the beads.

My set came with 6 beautiful glass beads with .925 silver openings & 14 silver spacers. The spacers have intricate designs including flowers, hearts, stars & butterflies. The holes are large so they will be compatible with many brands of bracelets that you may already own. I made my own bracelet with these beads as soon as I opened them & it is lovely! The beads are well-made, sturdy & easy to thread onto my chains. I can mix & match these beads & spacers with others that I already have so I can switch out the look of my jewelry depending on my mood or what I'm wearing. This 20 Bead Assortment is a wonderful addition to my new hobby!

The other jewelry item that I received is this Celtic Cross Aromatherapy Locket. I love using essential oils in my homemade beauty products & in my diffuser but I had never had a diffuser locket until now. When I received the package & opened the box, I was very impressed with the beautiful design on the locket. My family heritage is Irish so I was drawn to this design.

The black cord lets the locket hang just below my collarbone so I can easily breathe the scent of the essential oil all day. I put just a couple of drops on the felt pad & the open design of the locket allows the scent to diffuse. I wish that this had come with a few extra pads so that I can change the scent but it will be easy enough to cut a new felt pad myself. The locket closes with a magnet & I have not had any problems with it staying closed. It doesn't come open while I'm wearing it & I've been wearing it every day since I've had it.

You can purchase these for yourself on Amazon. The 20 Bead Assortment can be found here & the Celtic Cross Aromatherapy Locket can be found here.

Product Review: 16-ounce Amber Spray Bottles with Reusable Chalk Labels #AmberSprayBottles2pk

I make a lot of DIY window cleaners, carpet cleaners, disinfectants & air fresheners so I'm always looking for a great spray bottle. I've bought several but they are all plastic bottles. These 16-ounce Amber Spray Bottles from Cornucopia Brands are GLASS spray bottles!

This 2-pack of Amber Spray Bottles are really nice. They hold 16 ounces of whatever liquid you fill them with & they come with 4 Reusable Chalk Labels so I can easily identify what is in each bottle. The amber color is UV resistant so you can use these for storing cleaners & sprays that contain essential oils without losing any of their desirable traits. The spray triggers are easy to use & can spray a steady stream or a heavy mist as well as be completely closed.

I've used these bottles with several different cleaners & sprays since I've had them. Right now one of them has a mix of Eucalyptus essential oil, Lemon essential oil, Tea Tree oil & water that I use to freshen my carpets. The other has a mixture of white vinegar, Lemon essential oil & water that I use to clean windows. The chalk labels are easy to write on with liquid chalk markers & then they can be wiped clean to be re-labeled when the contents of the bottles change. And because these spray bottles are glass instead of plastic, there is no leftover odors of vinegar or bleach after I wash them.

You can buy these 2-Pack 16-Ounce Amber Spray Bottles with Reusable Chalk Labels on Amazon.

Product Review: Organic Apricot Oil #RenewalizeApricotOil

I've tried a few different carrier oils, but this is my first experience with Organic Apricot Oil.

This product is 100% Pure Organic Apricot Oil from Renewalize. According to the label, Apricot Kernel Oil is cold-pressed from the dried seeds of the fruit of the apricot tree, is rich in the essential fatty acid GLA & is high in Vitamins A & E. This oil comes in a large 4-ounce dark brown bottle to protect the oil from UV rays & it has a glass dropper to help dispense just the right amount. It is a pale yellow color with a very subtle nutty scent.

This oil can be used in a variety of ways. I especially like to use it to moisturize my skin. It is a lightweight non-greasy oil & absorbs into my skin quickly without any oily feeling. I use it after a shower & after I shave to hold in moisture & hydrate my skin. I also massage it around my cuticles & on my hands to keep them soft. This oil can be used instead of your normal hot oil treatment for your hair. Just massage some onto your scalp & onto the ends of your hair & leave it for a few minutes. Then just shampoo & condition as you normally would. It leaves my color-treated hair feeling soft with no tangles. And since this oil has almost no scent, it is perfect for adding your favorite essential oil fragrance to use it as a massage oil.

This oil is USDA Certified Organic by Quality Assurance International, a leading accredited certifying agency that ensures that this product meets the strict USDA guidelines for organic products.

This Organic Apricot Oil can be purchased on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PM5LPJS/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1432309508&sr=1&keywords=Organic+Apricot+Oil

Premium Lavender Essential Oil Review #essentialoils

I'm still new to the world of essential oils so I've only tried a few of the basics so far. The essential oil that I was sent to review this time is Premium Lavender Essential Oil from aVo Essentials.

It was only when I started researching the uses for lavender essential oil that I discovered that there are different varieties of lavender oils that come from different regions. This lavender essential oil is Bulgarian lavender which is grown in the Himalayas. It comes in a large 4 ounce bottle with both a stopper & a glass dropper. The label states that it is 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade Lavender Oil Steam Distilled.

There are so many different ways to use lavender essential oil. It is used to naturally ease headaches, anxiety, tension & stress. I know a lot of people diffuse it in their homes to keep a calmer environment. I have also heard of diluting it to use as a spray on sheets & pillow cases prior to bedtime. I tried both of these & quickly discovered one important thing: lavender seems to give me a headache rather than relieving one! I knew when I opened the bottle that I wasn't going to be a fan of the scent of lavender but I didn't expect to get headaches. The scent reminds me of my days in high school working at a local fast food place where we used a heavily scented bathroom cleaner with added lavender fragrance.

So I went back to researching what other ways I could use this so that I didn't notice the scent. And I found it! When I combine the lavender essential oil with peppermint & lemon oils in my diffuser, it puts out a wonderful scent that also helps my allergy symptoms. I have also found that when I do get a headache, I can use the lavender essential oil combined with marjoram, thyme, rosemary & peppermint oils to get relief. So I can use this lavender essential oil with no ill effects as long as I combine it with other oils.

This Premium Lavender Essential Oil is highly concentrated so you will always need to use a carrier oil before massaging it onto your skin.

You can purchase this essential oil on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/PURE-LAVENDER-OIL-x2605-BIG/dp/B00U9S6TTY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1430239766&sr=8-2&keywords=Premium+Lavender+Essential+Oil

Radha Beauty Fractionated Coconut Oil Review #radhabeauty

I have already tried several skincare products from Radha Beauty & am still using all of them as a part of my daily skincare routine. Now I'm trying their Fractionated Coconut Oil and the company very generously also sent me their Radha Argan Oil.

First, the Fractionated Coconut Oil. This is a large 16 ounce bottle & is 100% Pure with no fillers. It is odorless, colorless, non-greasy & non-staining. Fractionated Coconut Oil does not go rancid & it can prevent other oils from going rancid as well. I use coconut oil in several ways. I use it alone as a skin moisturizer & I apply it when I get out of the shower to keep moisture in. It can be a very nice massage oil when it is mixed with lavender essential oil or any other scent & does not leave a greasy feeling on your skin. It works to keep my hair soft & tames my frizziness on those very humid days. It can also be used in your homemade soaps, lotions & scrubs. There are just so many uses for this wonderful oil & everybody should keep some on hand!

I also tried Radha Argan Oil. This oil comes in a 4 ounce cobalt blue bottle with a dropper packaged separately in bubble wrap. It is 100% Pure & Certified Organic. It is unscented & contains no preservatives, chemicals, water or other oils. It is made organically in small batches & imported direct from Morocco. This oil is also a wonderful skin moisturizer & I usually use it at least once each day on my face & neck area. It doesn't take but a couple of drops so don't use too much. I also use it on my fingernails & cuticles to keep them soft & avoid hangnails. This is also a great oil to use on your hair to help repair split ends & improve scalp health.

Both of these oils are nice to have on hand. There are so many ways to use each of them. And this brand is one that I trust. You can purchase both of these oils on Amazon.

Pure Peppermint Essential Oil Review #PeppermintOil

Since I started researching & using essential oils a couple of months ago, I've found so many great uses for them. Peppermint is one of my favorite oils so I was more than happy to test & review this Pure Peppermint Essential Oil.

This oil comes in a large 4 ounce bottle with a glass dropper wrapped separately in bubble wrap. As soon as I opened the bottle I could smell that wonderfully menthol scent of peppermint. The scent is good but not overpowering. According to the label, this peppermint oil is 100% pure steam distilled oil with no additives, no fragrance added & no preservatives.

There are so many ways to use peppermint oil. My favorite is to make a sugar scrub which I use in the shower. I also like to use this oil, along with others, in my diffuser. Almost every day I put peppermint, lemon & lavender in my diffuser to help with my allergy symptoms. I also dilute peppermint oil with either jojoba oil or coconut oil to use it on my temples & the back of my neck when I have a headache. I know that it can be used in a natural toothpaste & I'm going to try that too.

If you want to experience Pure Peppermint Essential Oil or you need to replenish your supply, this is a good deal on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-BEST-Peppermint-Oil-goPure/dp/B00T11B5Y4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

Foxbrim 100% Pure Jojoba Oil [Certified Organic] Review #foxbrim

Jojoba Oil is a great addition to a daily beauty routine, not only for your skin but also for your hair. I've tried other products from Foxbrim & have been very happy with them & still use them, so I was looking forward to trying their 100% Pure Jojoba Oil [Certified Organic] as well.

This Jojoba Oil comes in a large 4 ounce brown glass dropper bottle. The ingredients list is: Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil. That's it. Nothing else. 100% Pure, unrefined, cold-pressed & organic. Jojoba Oil is a moisturizing oil with anti-fungal, anti-bacterial & anti-inflammatory properties.

I've used this oil as a makeup remover which also moisturizes my face at the same time. I've used it on my legs after a shower to moisturize & hydrate the skin. I've used it on my fingernails & cuticles. It's a great moisturizer for my hair too. I just warm up a bit of Jojoba Oil & use it just like my old hot oil treatment that I don't use any longer. And its a great lip treatment instead of a lip balm.

This Jojoba Oil has a pale golden color & a subtle earthy scent. I like that it is dispensed with a dropper so I don't waste any. It doesn't take much of this product to cover my face & neck so be careful how much you use because a little bit goes a long way. It absorbs into my skin without leaving an oily feeling & leaves my skin feeling soft & hydrated.

There are so many uses for this wonderful oil. If you haven't tried Jojoba Oil yet, you should. This Jojoba Oil is USDA Certified Organic, cruelty-free & bottled in small batches to ensure a long shelf life.

You can purchase it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/ORGANIC-Jojoba-Oil-Moisturizing-Moisturizer/dp/B00U93UCWY/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8

InstaNatural Lemon Essential Oil & Peppermint Essential Oil Review #essentialoils

I'm late to this party! I've only recently discovered essential oils & all of the amazing ways that they can be used. I started reading everything that I could find on the subject about a month ago & I'm really enjoying these essential oils that InstaNatural sent for me to review.

The InstaNatural Lemon Essential Oil is extracted from the fruit peel of the lemon which gives it a refreshing citrus fragrance & it is cold-pressed during that extraction process to retain that amazing scent for long-lasting use. The InstaNatural Peppermint Essential Oil is extracted from the leaves of the Mentha Piperita herb which gives it a strong menthol fragrance & is steam-distilled during that extraction process to preserve that aroma for long-lasting use. Both of these essential oils come in big 4 ounce dropper bottles.

There are so many different ways to use essential oils, but one of my favorites is in a sugar scrub. I start with 1/2 cup of regular white sugar & add 1/4 cup of fractionated coconut oil. Then I mix in about 12 drops of essential oil. If it turns out too dry, just add more coconut oil. If it is too liquid, add more sugar. This scrub feels so good on my skin when I exfoliate & it smells great. The scrub that I'm currently using is peppermint, but I've also made a lemon scrub that also smells amazing. But be careful when adding citrus to a scrub. The scent is energizing & refreshing but citrus can burn your eyes so do NOT use it on your face.

Another favorite way that I use my essential oils is in my diffuser. Since it the Spring allergy season, I've been dropping 4 drops each of lemon, peppermint & lavender essential oils into the tap water in my diffuser. It makes the room smell nice & helps with my allergy symptoms. I'm not sure how it works, I just know that it does!

So. Here is what I think about Lemon & Peppermint Essential Oils from InstaNatural: I love that these oils are packaged in such a big bottle! The oils that I've seen in my local shops come in much smaller bottles at a much bigger price. I like that these essential oils are 100% Natural with no added ingredients or fillers. I like that both of these oils have a strong long-lasting aroma.

And I like that InstaNatural products are backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee & are Made in the U.S.A. in FDA Registered facilities.

You can purchase these two essential oil scents on Amazon:

Foxbrim 100% Pure Organic Rosehip Oil Review #rosehip

Rosehip Seed Oil is one of the skincare products that I hear a lot about but have not had a lot of experience using. I mean....who knew roses had hips??!! So the first thing that I did when I knew I would be trying this 100% Pure Organic Rosehip Oil from Foxbrim was to find out what rosehips are & where they come from.

I learned that rosehip seed oil is extracted from the rosehip fruit that grows on wild roses. Rosehip Seed Oil has been used by other cultures for hundreds of years for its healing properties. It is rich in vitamins & antioxidants as well as extremely high in essential fatty acids which are all good for your skin & hair health.

This oil comes in a 2 fluid ounce amber glass bottle with a pump dispenser. I would have preferred a dropper bottle instead of a pump though, so that I can better control the amount of oil that is dispensed

The only ingredient listed on the label is 100% Pure Certified Organic Rosehip Seed Oil. That sounds like the pure stuff to me! It can be used for moisturizing dry skin, healing wounds & scars, treating skin conditions such as eczema, strengthening hair & nails, protecting cuticles, skin & hair from damaging elements & so much more!

Since I have had this oil, I've used it a lot. I have applied it directly to my face & neck areas as a moisturizer after I have cleansed my face when I'm getting ready to go to bed. It is an oil so it goes on very smoothly & absorbs quickly. It doesn't take much to cover those areas & I do avoid my oily T-zone area since I have combination skin. This product is not for use on oily or acne-prone skin.

I rub this oil on the dry skin on my feet & follow with a moisturizer. After it dries I put on a pair of socks. My feet are already feeling softer & will be ready for summer sandals when the weather gets warmer.

I've used it to soften my hands & massaged it into my cuticles & fingernails. It doesn't feel greasy or oily after it is dry. And I've also used it on my hair. I warm some of the Rosehip Seed Oil & apply it to my hair just like I do with my regular hot oil product. It makes my hair feel soft & look shiny, but doesn't make it oily or greasy.

So. Here is what I think about Foxbrim 100% Pure Organic Rosehip Oil: I like the earthy scent, it smells very natural to me. I like that it has helped my dry cuticles & I don't get hangnails since I've been using this oil. I like that there are so many ways to use this oil to help so many issues. My skin has really loved this oil!

And I really love that this product is 100% Natural & USDA Certified Organic.

You can purchase this product on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/BEST-Organic-Rosehip-Seed-Oil/dp/B00RZNC98Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1426270421&sr=8-1&keywords=foxbrim+rosehip+oil

Invivo Essential Fractionated Coconut Oil Review #invivoessential

I have heard of coconut oil & seen it in the grocery store but I was not familiar with fractionated coconut oil. Once I knew that I was going to test & review this Invivo Essential Fractionated Coconut Oil, I got busy & did some research on this product.

I found out that "fractionated" means that it is a fraction of the full spectrum of the natural oil. This product is highly stable as a result of the refining distillation process with a nearly indefinite shelf life. It will remain liquid, even at room temperature & will not go rancid over time. This is the perfect carrier oil for all of your essential oils.

This oil comes in a 16 fluid ounce brown plastic bottle. It is a colorless & odorless oil. I have used it as a moisturizer straight out of the bottle. It absorbs nicely & doesn't leave an oily feeling on my skin. It's also a great makeup remover! It takes off mascara easily & my face feels soft & smooth after I use it.

I've used it on the dry skin on my feet & legs with good results. I have a strange dry patch just above my ankle on one leg & nothing else I have tried has helped. But finally it's becoming smooth & soft! I also use it on my hands, especially my cuticles.

Some of my favorite things to do with this oil is to make DIY beauty products. This Lemon Sugar Scrub is one of my favorites. I start with 1/2 cup of sugar & add 1/4 cup of coconut oil. Then I mix in 12 - 15 drops of Lemon Essential Oil. If it's too dry, just add more oil. If it's too liquid, add a bit more sugar. It feels good on my skin when I exfoliate with this scrub & it smells great! But be careful when you add citrus to a scrub. It smells good & the scent makes me feel energized & refreshed, but citrus can burn your eyes so do NOT use this on your face.

You can use the same recipe but substitute Peppermint Essential Oil & it makes a really nice foot scrub that smells amazing! But be careful if you use either of these in the tub or shower because the oil will make it really slippery.

Put some of this oil in a diffuser with your favorite scent for aroma therapy, use it as a wonderful massage oil, for oil pulling, to make wonderful hand creams, body butters & lotions....so many possibilities!

So. Here is what I think about Invivo Essential Fractionated Coconut Oil: I'm so glad that I got the chance to learn about carrier oils. I like the size of this bottle, it will last quite a while. I like that I can use this as a moisturizer straight from the bottle but it doesn't make my skin feel greasy or oily. I like that I can use this to make so many DIY beauty products.

And I really like that it is safe & gentle enough for the whole family, even infants!

So. Bottom line. Use this wonderful oil alone as a moisturizer, to dilute essential oils, for your hair, or as a wonderful massage oil with your special someone. You'll find so many uses! And it is backed with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee!
