My Lucky 3

So yesterday I went on and on about the benefits of Thieves. A month ago if you said to me "I will tell you the benefit of thieves" I would of said "what benefit is there to having someone steal from you??" Ok I am bad at humor so I will stick straight to the point. Tonight I will tell you about 3 different oils that I L O V E <3

First is my nighttime diffuser combo. Guess whats in it!! Your right THIEVES! My go to combo lately has been Thieves, Lavender, and Purification! Love these and I sleep so soundly and wake up feeling great! I will not go over thieves again but here are the others:

• Lavender (I like to call this my Peaceful Bliss)
• soothes the pain of minor bruises
• promotes relaxation (can be diffused, inhaled directly or applied to bottoms of feet)
• Reduce allergy symptoms for adults and KIDS, yup I said KIDS (internally or diffused)
• Relieve dry, chapped, or irritated skin
• Relieve cold sore symptoms
• Lavender and Coconut oil combined can help sunburned skin (YUP FLORIDIANS YOU HEARD IT)
• This also helps alleviate rashes and itch
• Adding to the bath with or without epsom salt 
• This is the most relaxing bath, great before bedtime!
• IF YOU CANNOT TELL THIS IS FOR RELAXATION
• Also helpful for scrapes, cuts, burns, headaches, bacteria, cramps and fevers
• Purification (I talked about this with my skincare)
• Cleans the air and neutralizes foul or stale odor when diffused (EVERY Italian SHOULD own this and a diffuser) (SERIOUSLY!!)
• This also works placing a few drops on a cotton ball and adding to your air vents in the car, home or office
• Traveling soon?? Inhale this during flight to help protect against pathogens (this air is recirculated so that person hacking up a lung in coach, yup their air is coming up to you in first class, paying extra isn't going to keep those germs away)
• A drop on insect bites helps stop the itch and cleans the cut
• BLEMISHES.. Read my skincare post to see how I use it daily!!
• Rub on your sore throat to ease that pain
• Freshen your laundry
• add a few drops to wash
• or my favorite is an old rag or towel with a few drops of purification and a drop of lavender or citrus fresh in the dryer (this is a great way to freshen up those jeans you have worn 3 times already, yup GUILTY)
• Put some on a cotton ball and add to your stinky tennis shoes, FRESH and SO CLEAN CLEAN

So this sums up my nighttime 3, but you get a bonus because technically I only told you about 2 and the third one was yesterday!

Today I fell in love with LEMON! Something I use all the time... We use Lemons in our waters on our food in cooking, but who would of thought to use it in your CLASSROOM! As you can tell I am a First Grade Teacher, and our school year ends in 7 days!! YES 7 MORE DAYS!! I am H A P P Y, but on the downside we have to strip our rooms for summer school. So that means the dreaded marker on my board that has been there for a year has to come off.. So I had some Lemon oil with me today and I said " Hey Self try that Lemon Oil to get this marker off" and guess what IT HELPED LIKE ALOT!!! Here are some other benefits to Lemon Oil as well

• Lemon
•  Ingesting or diffusing while studying helps retain information
• Tap Water got you down, a drop of Lemon will help kill the Germs
• Rub on calluses, corns, or bunions 
• Reduce Heartburn with 3 drops of Lemon in water
• Uplifts mood when diffused
• Degreaser
• Removes hard water spots from dishwasher when added
• Remove sticky residue
• Helps remove gum from hair and carpet
• Removes crayons from walls (sounds like a MOM must have)
• Some other uses are bloating, lethargy, energy loss, anxiety, brittle hair and nails, mouth sores, cough, and infections!

This Oily Teacher is T I R E D! Lemon will have to get me through my morning! As always feel free to ask questions!
