If you are the parent of more then one child you will probably understand just where I’m coming from. I have two grandchildren, they are both boys at the age of five and six. They like to play hard and they sometimes like to irritate each other just as hard. I think that I have found a helpful solution.
After the kids were done playing they seemed to think they didn’t have to clean up and would rather argue. Well, I turned the television off, turned on some soothing children’s music and I had lite some aromatherapy candles. I would say that in about 10 minutes, maybe less, they stopped arguing and helped each other clean up. It was like watching a miracle, needless to say we choose that option more often now.
Try some aromatherapy bath oil. I swear by this stuff to calm your kids before bed and they will sleep well also.
I have waited for the super bowl ever since the play offs began. I was excited to see who would be going and now that I know and the day is here I’m so pumped, hoping that the colts win. I’m having a few friends over to watch the game, no cooking, strickly finger foods and paper plates.
Getting ready for the game is taking more time than I thought. I have friends that smoke and that don’t smoke, so I have several aromatherapy candles to light all around the house, trust me when I say no matter who wins the game it will be a great time with family and friends.
I love aromatherapy candles and I buy them quite often, I have however, noticed they tend to be a bit expensive depending on how often you buy them. So I have decide to make them and save some money and here is how I do it.
First, you will need containers for your aromatherapy candles, pint sized canning jars or jelly jars work great, next you will need wax, beeswax is best but can be expensive, paraffin wax is not recommended for indoor use. You will also need essential oil, about 5 drops for 2 cups of wax flakes.
You will need to melt the wax the same way the directions tell you to according to the wax you purchased, add your essential oil to melted wax after you removed it from the heat, stir to incorporate the wax and the oil, next set the wick in the jar and while keeping the wick in place pour in the wax. Using a wick setter is great for making aromatherapy candles. After you have allowed the candles to cool until they are solid you can begin burning them or better yet, give them as a gift, they make terrific gifts.
