A splash of witch hazel
Distilled water (or purified water!)
Decorative items like ribbon, washi tape, bells or string!
To make simply add 10 drops each of your favorite oils and a splash of witch hazel to your glass spray bottle and then carefully top with water. The witch hazel helps disperse the oils instead of them just sitting on the top. Add embellishment and voila! Lightly mist pillows and flannel sheets for the coziest and most restful sleep.
Stock up on the Vitality line to keep in your kitchen. We love using Thieves in our coffee or tea to keep our immune systems up and running with all of the hustle and bustle. You can also use Peppermint in your coffee grinds before brewing for a festive kick! We also love Peppermint in our brownies and hot chocolate, too!
Add the power of Thieves to your dinner party dishes, holiday outfits, and have your house guest-ready at a moments notice. You will love the warm scent of cinnamon combined with the power of Thieves. Grab your laundry detergent, hand soap, dish washing liquid, and be ready for whatever comes your way.
Some of our all-time favorite diffusers! We love the Aria for looking beautiful in any room, for its spa sounds, timer, and music playing abilities. It also holds a lot of water so you can use it for hours! The Rainstone mimics the electrons in the air after it rains, it is a bold + sleek black, perfect for offices and bedrooms. The Lantern diffuser is brilliant outdoors in the summer and we love it in kid’s rooms too! The candle light flicker is stunning! Speaking of candle flicker… if you love that feature then you will love the Desert Mist as well.
Keep little one’s eyes sparkling with Kidscents oils nearby. Some of our favorites to diffuse and use to keep them feeling their best are Sleepyize, Lavender, and Gentle Baby (for a good night’s sleep!) as well as keeping Tummgize on hand for little tummies that have had too much sugar and sweets.
Guests will love the Thieves foaming hand soap in the powder room. Smells like Christmas and leaves your hands feeling soft and moisturized. We also love tucking a diffuser into our bathrooms or making a homemade reed diffuser to add oils to. Little details go a long way!
Keep your skin looking its best with oils that support the skin like Rose, Tea Tree, Patchouli, Frankincense, Melrose, and Manuka (to name a few!). We love the Orange Blossom face wash and moisturizer to clean our skin followed by the Savvy Minerals primer (in both Matte and Hydrating!) followed by our favorite glosses and blushes, shadows and mascara. If you haven’t tried Savvy, make the non-toxic switch!
