Scents

We have a wall decoration for many tea candles that leaves black soot on the wall when candles are burned. Is there a type of candle that doesn’t leave marks on the wall?

It’s the burning of the wick. Pull it out from the wall to stop the staining of the wall. The only type of candle that won’t do that is a battery operated one.

My favorite stress relief is making home-made soy candles. Currently I have more than I can gift away or even burn for myself. I was wondering if anybody has any good ways of selling them.

Another place you may want to try is etsy.com. It’s an online community of craftspersons selling their hand-made wares. It may not get as much traffic as eBay, but the clientele are more willing to pay fairly for your hard work.

My 5 year old yorkie was adopted from an animal shelter. He always has been a little insecure and nervous. A friend suggested an aromatherapy spray. will this work? Many thanks.

Your friend is gullible,touchy-feely-new-age TWIT!!!
NO,training alters behaviors-NOT perfume!

I am using Johnson and Johnson regular massage oil so far and someone told me that mixing lavender essential oil will make it more soothing when I massage the baby. My baby is a month old.

Congratulations on your new baby. Yes lavender essential oil is safe for your baby as long as you just use a few drops. Essential oil is natural oil expressed from a plant and used in many cosmetic compounds. You can also make your own lotion that is all natural for your baby if you wanted too.
In a full bottle of baby oil put 3 drops of essential oil, and blend. Lavender is very calming and soothing to the senses. The act of massaging an infant is also a great way to calm them. They love being touched especially by Mommy.

just purchased unrefined shea butter from a distributor and need to know how to get it from the block into a useable form mixed with essential oils.

Hi, there. Shea butter is a very delicate butter that will "grow" crystals if it is heated to too high a temp. That means it should never be heated in a microwave. Although the "crystals" are just stearic acid from the Shea Butter, they do make the texture of the butter … just plain gross.

Since Shea Butter is naturally a relatively soft butter, the best way to soften it to a blending consistency is to place the desired amount of Shea Butter in a zippy bag and then place the bag in a bowl of hot water. Check it every 30 sec – 1 minute, and massage it around in the bag each time you check on it. When it feels soft enough to be blendable, cut a hole in the bottom corner of the bag and squeeze the contents into a sterilized jar or container. (You can also leave it in the bag if that’s more convenient.) Keep the Shea Butter in a cool location and protect it from light so that the Essential Oils aren’t compromised. That’s all there is to it!!

Shea Butter’s awesome. Enjoy it to the fullest! You can make whipped shea butter by softening it (use a bowl placed in shallow hot water to soften it), adding a liquid oil such as extra virgin olive oil (very healing), jojoba, or corn oil, and then whip the butter with a hand mixer. Slowly blend in essential oils or herbal extracts while you whip. Continue whipping until it forms a fluffy, soft butter that can be easily spread on the body. It’s delightful and feels so luxurious!

Have fun with it!

My usual perfume brands are Oscar Dela Renta and CK Escape and I have been using them for so long. Recently, I noticed that when they come in contact with my skin, I develop rashes. I love both scents, so could anyone offer suggestions on what I should do? I think I’ve developed an allergic reaction.

Essential oils. You’ll have to make up your own combination, but if you do it right it will smell awesome without all the nasty chemicals they put in the commercial stuff.

I got 2 of them for Christmas and would like to know how to make my own fuel. I tried one recipe already but now I am having trouble keeping the wick burning. The recipe I used was 16 FL OZ. of 91% Isopropyl Alcohol and .3 OZ Fragrance Oil. I bought the oil at Walmart because I had read that some do use it. It is called potpourri refresher oil and comes in a very small vial. I would love to be able to make my own because the fuel is so expensive to buy. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help!

It is difficult to make your own. Try 100% alcohol with two drops of Chanel No.5 perfum. This could work. Good luck!

It’s a perfume oil.

well u cant they have their secrets
