Oily Days of Christmas

Let's have a little bit of fun with Essential Oils and the Days of Christmas.

Our first day is Frankincense.  So fitting since it was one of the gifts brought to the Christ child.  We all want beautiful skin, right?  You can add Frankincense to any of your lotions and it will do wonders for your skin tone.  Frankincense is 24% less when you are a wholesale member!

Now, let's do a little bit of catch up and look at the 2nd day of Christmas since this IS December 2nd!!  Nutmeg......one of those 'use at Christmas' kind of spices.  With 80 drops in a bottle this little baby will last and last!  (You don't have to worry about it getting old because essential oils last for years when kept in a cool dark location).  When you don't need a teaspoon of nutmeg (one drop of the oil), you can use a toothpick dipped into the bottle to retrieve less than a drop.   Makes my mouth water thinking of all the yummy Christmas goodies.  So, when you overeat your Christmas goodies, grab the Nutmeg to support digestive and Kidney systems.  Your breathe will be nice and fresh too!
