A GUIDE FOR THOSE WHO ARE NEW TO ESSENTIAL OILS
How to Use a Diffuser
Want your home to smell amazing and feel like a spa? Here’s how to get started:
- Fill it up: Pour water into your diffuser’s tank (there’s usually a little line to show how much).
- Add the magic: Drop in 5 – 10 drops of your favourite essential oil – lavender for calm vibes or peppermint for a pick-me-up.
- Turn it on: Hit the button, sit back, and let the aroma do its thing.
- Keep it clean: Empty it after each use and give it a quick rinse. Nobody likes a funky diffuser!
How to Use Essential Oils on Your Skin
Want to feel the benefits right where it matters? Try this:
- Pick your oil: Feeling stressed? Go for lavender. Trouble spot on your skin? Tea tree’s got you covered.
- Dilute it: Mix 1 – 2 drops with a teaspoon of carrier oil (like coconut or almond oil). Essential oils are strong on their own!
- Apply gently: Rub it on your wrists, temples, or anywhere you need it (just avoid your eyes and sensitive areas).
- Test it first: Do a quick patch test on your skin to make sure you’re good to go.
How to Create a Relaxing Bath

chill-out session:

- Add some luxury: Mix 5 – 10 drops of your favourite oil (hello, lavender or ylang ylang!) with a tablespoon of carrier oil, or Epsom salts
- Swirl it around: Give it a stir so the oils blend in nicely.
Soak and unwind: Slide in, take a deep breath, and forget about the day for 20 minutes.

- Shake it up: Always give it a good shake before spraying so the oil mixes.
- Spritz away: Spray it on your pillows, around the room, or anywhere that needs a little pick-me-up.
