Don't take a deep dive without some knowledge ...

Do your homework before you dive into your world of essential oils. They are powerful and could do harm if not used properly. Spot test before using them on your skin. Always dilute them with a carrier/vegetable oil. When using them in your bath, add them to powdered milk, sea or Himalayan salts or herb pouches. These ingredients will absorb the oils and give you a better bath experience. If you just add them direct into your tub water, they will evaporate quickly.

That's it for this week,
