Let us go for small changes
In our homes, gardens and kitchens
Long ago my dad offered me a chemical box
And one of the tricks you could do
Was make your own soap
Wow, that sounded exciting
Being in an experimental mood
I remember the boiler exploded in my face
Because I did not read the manual
So… you better be warned
This is not for kids
Making soap is a chemical reaction.
You need some ingredients and a method.
You need oil (or fat) and lye.
First the oil. You can use palm oil, coconut oil, soybean oil and even cocoa butter. Let us take several cups for each type and fill with oil or butter.
Then the lye. Make sure to have it all ready and put it in different cups.
Add fragrance and color.
There are different ways to make soap.
And each method has its own fans.
The easiest one is the Melt and Pour process. Melt pre-made blocks of soap and add your own fragrance. Lavender officinalis in our case .
The most common method is the Cold Process. Soap is made from scratch with oils and lye.
Then the hot process (the one I used in my experiment as a kid) were the ingredients are heated … Just beware it is a chemical and thus dangerous process. Make sure to protect your eyes when using this method. And… follow the order of instructions… uh!
And finally, the Rebatching. A method where bars of soap are grinded with milk or water, and re-blended.
Sounds easy, no?
Combine lye water and oils, eventually you can replace water with milk and use some natural oils and colorants on top of it. Use one of the four methods at your convenience.
For those who are really hooked, I suggest you follow a course with the hot method.
The Hot Soap Making course is a Complete Guide. Unlike The More Traditional Way Of Making Handmade Soap, This Is A Faster, Easier And More Predictable Way To Make Soap. The course includes 60+ Photos with 6 Bonuses Including Video.
What is saponification ?
You will find many tutorials and recipes on the net. One of my favorite blogs is the 22 basic soap making recipes.
To your success!

Aromatherapy oils are great, once you know how to use them.
We are different. There is no one way solution. Your skin, your body, your taste will soon guide you to those oils that suite you best. Essential oils can enhance your life in many ways. Fragrance is perhaps the most important one.
1. If you can, join an aromatherapy course. Go for it. You will not regret it. And it will save you time and money.
Or join a classical education.
If you are not sure this is for you. Do some research .
2. The internet provides you with a lot of information for free. There are plenty of excellent resources. Be a critical reader. Check your sources. Do not jump into it. Take time to gather some information
Social media has many excellent publishers too.
3. Do not be afraid to buy a good book. They are great references for later. You can go from starter to advanced reader.
Some of my favorites:
Lavender, an aromatherapy coloring book
The healing intelligence of essential oils
Once you have done your research and learned about aromatherapy, it is time to focus on buying oils of your choice. Lavender should be one of them. Of course. It is the queen among essential oils.
4. Go for 3 to 5 oils to start with and buy together with Carrier Oils. Mixing essential oil and carrier oil gives a great result. A great cosmic carrier is argon oil. Together with lavender it is excellent for soothing muscles. The essence is in quality, not quantity. In studying the different oils, you will soon be guided by your own choices.
Click the picture to discover my favorite trio:
5. Stay away from synthetic cheap products. They will make you sick. Go for organic certified brands. Make sure to buy unadulterated essential oils. 100% Pure Essential Oils. And yes, they come with a cost. Buy small quantities.
Once you have bought your oils. Be careful.
6. Best is to store in a dark place and to keep the lids tightly closed. Heat and warmth should be avoided. Make sure to keep out of reach of children.
7. Do the patch test before using. Essential oils can cause allergy. Always perform a skin test on your wrist. And in case of reaction, wash away.
8. Never use on children or pets. To clean the air, use other solutions like a good air purifier
9. Never ingest essential oils. Some are toxic, others interfere with medical prescriptions. Go for good food supplements. And seek advice of a nutritionist or doctor first.
10 . And last but not least, in case of health issues always check with your doctor. Information on this site is not a medical advice.
Once familiar with the basics, you will want to learn more. Be not afraid to join an aromatheraphy course.

Or how too give a soothing massage…
Massage relieves stress. Massage relieves tension.
Given with the right massage oils people get renewed energy.
1. The first clue is the massage oil. Some will use a Carrier Oil with some lavender or pine. There are as many possibilities as Essential Oil Blends. Follow your nose. Make it yours. And remember, every skin is different and reacts differently. What goes fo one does not go for another. Seek your fragrance, and yes, it has not to be lavender. Although it has a very relaxing and soothing effect
2. The second clue is a peaceful environment. Create the right atmosphere and ambiance. Some need the privacy of closed curtains and candle light. Others will prefer lovely background music.
3. The third clue is a relaxing place like the ground or a massaging bed. Make it comfortable for both. Some need support in their neck, hips or knees.
4. The fourth clue is respect. People have to undress. Best is to ask them to lie down in their underwear. Make sure to keep them warm with an extra blanket.
5. The fifth clue is the direction of your massage. Best is to work from right to left, which means working from the right. Know that some will prefer clockwise. That means sitting on the left. And some will like an alternate. Respect your own comfortzone. Massage is relaxing, not stressing.
6. The sixth clue are your hands. Make sure they are not cold, nor wet.
7. The seventh clue is the massage. Always work towards the heart with smooth and gentle pressure. Work inwards, then outwards. Listen to the signals of the muscles and the body.
Best is to start with the right leg and to knead the leg from bottom to top and to slide down again. Once done, proceed with the left leg.
Once done with the legs, work on the back. Place yourself at the head facing the legs. Use your flat hands to smoothly slide from head to bottom. Keep each hand close to the spine. Slide over the edge of the bottom to the side. Move on the sides upwards just underneath the scapulas. Then slide back and come back up to the beginning of the shoulders.
Move over to one side and use your left hand to make a full circle on their back. With your right hand, make a half circle beginning away from your left goin right. Go slowly, smoothly and sensitively. Start at the bottom of the back, move up to the shoulders and slide down the back.
Follow the same procedure as the legs.
Once the person lies down on their back. Follow the steps taken to massage the legs. Then massage the arms. Always work in the same order.
Stand behind the head of the person. Rub your hands to warm them up. Place them a palm above the eyes of the person for a minute . Never touch or cover the eyes. Move your thumbs from between the eyebrows to the hair basis, back to the basis of the ear, the basis of the nose, the cheeks, the upper and lower lip. And in a circular movement back to the basis of the hair.
8. The secret of a soothing massage lays in the pressure of your hands. Be ready to respond to the signals of the massaged person, so they get the best out of what you are giving them. Be not afraid to communicate about it. In a gentle, relaxed way.
9. End the massage in a relaxed way too. Give the person time and privacy to dress up in peace.
10. Wash your hands before treating another person.
1. Another way to relax is to find something creative, like photography
2. Pain can be a source of stress. A cushion Can help . Make sure to be seated well.
3. Food improves your well being. Make sure to eat right!

My goal to promote lavender oil was born and is my way to make a difference in the lives of people.
My objective is I care about meeting the health and wellness needs of people. I believe the beauty of this versatile is truly amazing because it gives a sense of calm and peace in most folks.

Lavender oil is simply the best all in one oil. This my way to touch the lives of people and make a contribution that brings relaxation to the world.
No one can put a price on living with a sense of calm and peace. My goal is to ease your mind, so you can succeed and experience the calm and peace that lavender oil gives to you.
My promise to you is to help anyone learn to relax and enjoy life through the daily use of lavender oil. I hope that lavender oil exceeds your expectations, so you can live a happy and fulfilled life.
