Has anyone got any good suggestions for essential oils? I have made Bath bombs (unsuccessfully), Bath salts and diffused through a diffuser.
Looking for some more inspo as have a lot of oils to use.
Thanks in advance.

I've made some candles adding essential oils, don't think I've got the quantities quite right though, the scent is too subtle but lime & lemongrass worked well. I've also had a go at making room fragrance - there's a few 'recipes' on the internet, some using vodka and others using distilled water (I've tried the latter, worked ok). Reed diffusers is something else I've thought about.

I’ve got several little bottles from the year dot. I used to have a metal ring (probably now at the bottom of a drawer) which was put on top of an electric lightbulb in table lamp. Put a few drops of essential oils into it and as the ring heated up, it gave out a lovely smell.

Can I just ask, are they synthetic fragrance oils or pure 100% therapeutic grade essential oils? If the latter, then you could make some facial oils if you have a carrier oil too. Make a nice Christmas present, if you have some 50ml dark glass bottles. I've just made a facial oil using 50ml sweet almond oil as the carrier, 20 drops wild carrot seed EO and 20 drops frankincense EO 
Or how about making handmade soap, again you'd need therapeutic grade though.

Used to work a treat - sadly now don't have a suitable lamp for it - and not sure they would work with these new energy saving bulbs lol |
