Hi Ladies,
Hmmm... think the problem is where to get Lye (sodium hydroxide)?? Library books says can get easily from hardware stores or supermarkets...
but these are US books...
As for lard, we can opt to use vegetable oils for a vegetable-based soap instead of animal fats soap.
& of course... personalising our soap by adding all sort of ingredients to it. Almost anything can be added: from essential oils, to honey, herbs and dried fruits.

Hi SSL,
What kind of EO are you adding into your aroma spritz? Are you using it for "killing germs" in the air? Read that Eucalyptus has anti-viral and anti-bactericidal properties leh...<BLOCKQUOTE><HR SIZE=0><!-Quote-!><FONT SIZE=1>Quote:</FONT>

Spray serveral times a day throughout the house, particularly in the living areas and bedrooms.

Hi SSL, oic...
Anyway, the squeaky clean for kitchen is for spraying in the air (to kill germs)? It sounds like some sprays for cleaning. Hee hee.
I went to Scent Shop today and bought Lavender. Yes, yes, I finally bought the must-get EO. Was having problems sleeping these few days, so thought maybe should get Lavender to "promote deep sleeping". Hmmm.... that sales assistant is pretty knowledgeable leh. Wonder which Scent Shop did Lynn and Angelia went? Me went to the one in Hougang Festival Market.
Found a cheap way to diffuser the EO... I dropped about 6 drops (is it too much? onto a facial cotton and clip it to the air-con blower. Soon, the room was filled with the fragrance. But, i thought it smell a little like medicated oil. Is it supposed to be that way? I supposed Scent Shop will not sell diluted/blended as pure EOs, hor?
btw, for Bliss Blend formula... did you miss type the formula? coz you wrote "2 drops of lemon + 1 drop of lemon"...
Thanks for the info on tea tree oil. Now that I own Grapefruit and Lavender (not counting the sandalwood lah - not even sure of its origin), what would be a good one to buy next? What would you recommend?

HI twinky
yaya, i also rec the news from privi card. tot it's kinda exp so didnt tell u all. i seldom use ess oil on face unless it's already inside products that i buy or lavender (neat) if i have "going to come out pimple" (i only used once and it works!)
Hi cynthia
OPps, did i miss out another oil for the Bliss Blend?
soli will check out tonight and reply u later cos now i'm in my own house and the notes are in my mum's place.
Haha, i also read about some tips where u can put ess oil onto cotton buds and leave them at a corner of your kitchen to keep off pests (cockroaches, ants, etc.)
Didnt really had a chance to smell the lavender ess oil from Scent Shop. I bought their Lavender+lilac wooden balls and refresher oil for office. very nice to smell. heehee. Not exp too. (for the balls)
Yes, cotton or tissue method is another way. i used tissue method in office where i "shred" tissue into glass candle holder, and add my fav oil into the tissue shreds. i will put the holder beside my telephone+PC so when i type or talk, can smell the lemon. Usually put lemon (to wake me up) haha and ocassionally i will also add lavender to it.
Medicated smell?? mmm.... dont think the one that i bought from Jessica has that smell leh?? Maybe diff country/brand of lavender oil will have slightly diff smell. They will normally indicated in the label if it's blended with some other oil lor.
You can try lemon. Makes one feel "fresh" (well, at least it works this way for me) I dont like the smell of tea tree so didnt buy though it seems to be very good. Just bought Rosemary from Jessica, intending to do foot bath using that + lavender. heehee. Rosemary smells like medicated oil (similar to eucalyptus but not so spicy compared to eucalyptus) (lynn can second that cos she's with me that day) heehee
Probably u can see what "experiment" u want to make before deciding what oil u want to buy. Normally i will buy ess oil when i need them for certain purposes.
Oh yes, have u been into amazon.com to see what books u want to order? i intend to place the order for the book "Secrets of Aromatherapy" which i had borrowed from lib last time but already returned and Singapore dont sell it.
Find quite a no. of things very useful inside there which i didnt copy down the last time cos i know i want to order. so now, like abit handicap when i want to know more lor.
let me know.

Hi SSL, =P sorry kinda forgotten about that...
Okay, I want to get this book called "The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy" by Valerie Ann Worwood
It was stated on the bottle that it is pure essential oil leh... Made in England... Otherwise, not much things on the label itself.
Will you be getting those blending kits from Jessica? Just wondering, is it necessary to get precise measurement of how many mls of EOs to add to distilled water. But your recipes mentioned drops leh... btw, did I reply you on the distilled water? It can be bought from supermarkets. At the mineral water section, just look for distilled water. Have you seen the measuring cup that Jessica mentioned? How much is it?

Hi cynthia
Just got home. OK checked the bliss blend. the last ess oil is 1 drop of rose. Maybe i didnt jote down the oz. required for the distilled water. So was kinda surprised when Jessica told me that i have to add half the amount of ess oil.
Anyway, Jessica havent get back to me about the prices and her stock for the blending DIY kits. I need to see how much is it lor. if too exp, then will try to estimate myself. Probably getting from her at one stop is easier rather than i gather the items separately.
Yap, she showed me the measuring cup sometime ago when i was there with a friend. Not sure if it's the same one, but the one she showed us is for blending massage oil. Will let u know once i hear from Jessica ok.
I guess then the oil should be pure cos it didnt say blended lor. maybe u can check with jessica??
Thks for the book order and i will let u know when i rec them. Do u need me to let u know how much it will cost u to order from Amazon.com??

Hello SSL,
I sent you a reply mail liao... check it out!
Robinson Raffles City is having a promotion on Pureness essential oils leh... Buy 3 bottles and you get the lowest priced FREE. I just bought Tea Tree, Eucalyptus and Lemongrass. Average out about $8+ per bottle. Tot of buying ylang ylang extra... but so expensive. almost double the price of Eucalyptus and Tea Tree.
Tried the tester for the Tea Tree, indeed doesn't smell quite nice but since it has antiseptic properties... so, I bought it
Besides the EOs, fragrance sachets are going at 5 for $10. Ermm... they have lavender, ocean breeze, bergamot and geranium and summer something... Scented candles are also on sale. 2 packets of 9 (or was it 12?) candles for $11.90. There were also burners, pot pourri and incenses there.
Those interested, can pop over for a look. It's on the third floor.

Hi cynthia
i think 20 drops maybe too much right?? it should be warm water. u could add lavender to neutralise the "stench" next time heehee.
Oh yes, i went to robinson yesterday to check out the ess oil stuff. heehee guess what i bought the following:
- tea tree
- citronella
- Orange
(Paid $11.90+$13.90 only)
- lavender scented candles (2 for $11.90) but sharing with my sis who chose ocean mist/breeze (cant remember which)
- Geranium
- Peach
(from the 3 for $9.90 range) sharing with my sis who bought geranium too.
I find that the geranium from this range smells nicer than the other range lor.
The peach not bad leh.

Hi Lynn and SSL...
Perhaps 20 drops is really too much
but that's what it says in Aromaweb.com.
Hahaha... Lynn, your FH so funny... *straight face* actually my family cannot tahan the Lavender too, when I use my aircon to diffuse the fragrance out... all of them ran out from my bedroom... So, does he still dare to try whatever oil you intend to use on him?
SSL, thanks for your tip. Will try it out tonight.
