Pure Body Naturals Peppermint Oil - Review

I love the smell of peppermint, especially during the holiday seasons.

  Pure Body Naturals peppermint oil is absolutely wonderful. It has an eye-catching bottle that is attractive without being flashy. It comes with a convenient dropper lid that can replace the regular lid on the bottle so you can choose to drop or to pour.

  What I love most about this peppermint oil (and all of Pure Body Natural's oils) is how pure it is. There aren't any added ingredients or filler oils. There a lot of useful suggestions on the bottle for how to use it, but I honestly don't use it for much other than the smell. It smells AMAZING! A few drops here and there makes the whole house smell wonderful and festive. You can also find a lot of recipes on the internet for soaps, scrubs, facials, hair masks, and massage oils. Really, there is no limit to how you can use peppermint oil.

  Pure Body Naturals is quickly becoming my favorite brand for essential oils and beauty products. Their high-quality, customer-friendly packaging, and satisfaction guarantee makes their products very unique amongst other brands.

   And, just for fun......

Homemade Peppermint Sugar Scrub Recipe
INGREDIENTS
2 cup Sugar
1/4 cup Coconut Oil (or Almond oil if you prefer)
Red Food Coloring
Peppermint Essentials Oil
Optional:  Add a tablespoon of Vegetable Glycerine for extra moisturizer.  Glycerine is not easily found in stores so do yourself and favor and order it online.  It will save you time and gas.  Trust me.  It makes your skin amazingly soft.
DIRECTIONS
Pour sugar into medium sized bowl.
Mix in coconut oil (add more if you like a wet consistency).
Add a few drops of your Peppermint Essentials Oil.
Divide your sugar mixture into two equal sized portions.
Mix in a few drops of red food coloring to one portion (be careful not to add to much or you will have a bright red).
Add your sugars to the jar in layers. Press your Sugar down with a spoon or I use a can to compact.
Alternate between your pink and white layers
Add a Label to the front and maybe a ribbon to gift.

Apothecary Tea Tree Oil Review

  I'm new to tea tree oil. I'd heard of it before, but I'd never used it or even seen it in the store. What really impressed me about Apothecary Extracts tea tree oil is the ebook that shows you a bunch of different ways to use tea tree oil (including recipes). I was amazed that tea tree oil can be used for so many things like cleaning, skin care, and first aid. I've been mixing it with coconut oil because it makes a great hot oil treatment for my hair. I've also used it as a bug repellant! I'm trying some of the cleaning and aromatherapy recipes from the book next and I found some other really great ideas and recipes on Google that I want to try.

 I love the bottle that it comes in. It reminds me of  "snake oil" and "elixer" bottles from long ago. I love how "old timey"  Apothecary Extracts portrays itself and really feels to me. The label is straight to the point instead of being gimmicky. The label clearly tells you what you're getting, popular uses, suggested uses, and warnings. Apothecary Extracts is factual about their tea tree oil. There are no taglines or slogans to try to make you buy the product it stands on its own feet. I'm going to throw up one of the images associated with the company below this (grabbed straight from Amazon) because I love it and I think it really goes to show what I mean by "old-timey".

 I also really love the fact that Apothecary Extracts is pharmaceutical grade tea tree oil. It makes me feel better about using it because I know it is pure without added oils or chemicals. This bottle isn't "huge" but a little goes a very long way and I'm sure this will last me for years because you only use a few drops here and there. I got a 4oz bottle that runs around $20. After everything that I've tried, I still have an entirely full bottle. I would most definitely buy again. This is worth trying if you're looking for a high quality tea tree oil or if you're looking for chemical-free alternatives.

  Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil is exclusively available on Amazon, so if you're looking to try it you can find it there.
