Sweet Rose Oil…

Thursday, April 25th, 2013

Roses have long added beauty and romance to history, fairy tales, and major life events. But did you know that there is an impressive list of health and skincare benefits as well?

Besides enhancing a woman’s connection to her femininity, the essential oil of rose can help with depression, detoxifying the blood, and relieving headaches. For a thorough list of other (unexpected!) benefits of rose oil, see OrganicFacts.net.

I often like to branch out of the known beauty and home uses for essential oils and was delighted to find so many unique ideas for this sweet-smelling botanical. Here are some favorites I have found that use rose essential oil and rose water:

Rose Honey Face Mask
Rejuvenate and replenish your skin.
Sweet almond oil, which is light and easily absorbed, softens and nourishes skin.
Honey as natural humectant, moisturizes, leaving even tired skin incredibly smooth.
2 T Honey
2 T Sweet Almond oil
5 drops essential oil of Rose
1 drop Vitamin E oil.
Mix honey, sweet almond oil and essential oil of rose.  Massage onto clean face and neck with fingertips.
Relax for 15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Gently pat dry to reveal a fresh, soft complexion.

Almond Rose Bread
A delicious sweet treat!

Cardamom Rose Cocktail
An elegant way to take the edge off of your day!

Here are a few of the products that contain rose from 3000BC:Re Bath & Body Oil

Lavender for Every Room of Your Home…

Friday, April 12th, 2013

The brand 3000BC began from a passion to find another way to help my skin heal. Everything that was on drug and department store shelves was not working for my sensitive, acne-ridden skin, and many times the products I tried made it worse. I fell in love with the beauty and power of essential oils after experiencing first-hand how brilliantly effective they can be!

When it comes to their usefulness, essential oils can be found in bath & beauty products, unusual dessert recipes, and thousands of other fun ideas. But we aren’t limited to beauty products and dessert. They can be used for cleaning, entertaining, and to improve your overall mental, emotional, and physical health.

Here are some fantastic recipes for the relaxing, healing, and tasty Lavender:

For the Bedroom:Herbal Sleep Pouches- a pretty and thoughtful way to say, ‘Thank you, mom, for all you do’ on Mother’s Day!
Lavender helps to calm nerves, and bring one’s mind-body-soul connection in balance.

For the Cleaning Closet: adding oil An anti-bacterial spray can be made by adding 20 drops of the oil to 1 cup of water. It’s all natural, smells great, and is does the trick. Did you know that Lavender has anti-septic properties?
For this and more on DIY essential oil cleaning products, visit the blog, Macheesmo.

For the Kitchen:
If you’ve never thought of using Lavender- the herb- as an ingredient in the kitchen, the following two recipes will have you hooked for life.

Lavender Macaroons with Lavender CreamLavender Sorbet (with Vanilla Vodka!)
YUM!

I hope these ideas help to get you thinking about Lavender and essential oils is a much broader sense. Look for more creative uses on rose, lemon, eucalyptus oils and more in the coming weeks!

Best,
Korin.
