I used garage sale tie on labels to write what was in each
of the containers. I used a 2 oz. Finger Spritzer Spray Bottles from Wal Mart
for $0.97 each. I bought a dark blue plastic one instead of glass as is
suggested when putting products with Essential Oils.
I bought plastic as it is cheaper and I won’t reuse on
anything else and I wasn’t too worried about the plastic leaching into the
spray. I did however use a really dark blue bottle so it would last a bit
longer as light wouldn’t penetrate it as much as a clear bottle. However if you
prefer you can buy amber or blue glass as is suggested.
I bought two glass cheese jars from Dollar Tree for $1 each.
Any container will work as long as it has a lid with holes but I bought the
jars as they already had holes, so I wouldn’t have to punch them myself and the
jars are attractive even if they are said to be cheese jars. My Jasmine Nutmeg
Body Powder I leave in my bathroom and the Energizing Blend Room Deodorizer I
leave in my bedroom and both turned out wonderful.
I bought Grapefruit Essential Oil, Lavender Essential Oil,
and Jasmine Blended Oil at Wal Mart for $5.97 each. They are by Natures Bounty
Earthly Elements. I will put a picture below of them. Though people may be
skeptic about buying Essential Oils at Wal Mart I tried it and I am fully
satisfied by the brand and price. Given price plus shipping and handling of
online Essential and Blended oils this price is a bargain but you aren’t
sacrificing quality at all. The price and product are wonderful in my opinion
but I am new to using Essential and Blended Oils but I am satisfied.
In the recipe it gives examples of Body Powders to make but
they say make what ever kind you like and I did just that. I fell in love with
Bodycology Enchanted Forest Body Sprays smell so I decided to mimic it in my
Body Powder as the Bodycology Enchanted Forest Body Spray used Jasmine, Nutmeg, and
Musk.
Mine: Jasmine Nutmeg
Body Powder
½ Cup Cornstarch
¼ Cup Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Ground
Nutmeg
5-6 Drops Jasmine
Blended Oil (Jasmine Blended Oil was blended with Jasmine, Sweet Almond Oil and
Vitamin E Oil)
I combined the
Cornstarch and Baking Soda and Ground Nutmeg in the glass jars and then I slowly
added 5-6 Drops of Jasmine Blended Oil and whisked it all together.
It is my favorite fragrance so far. I absolutely love it. It
has a romantic exotic fragrance and I sometimes just go sniff it and it uplifts
me. It is wonderful all over the body or I have even used it as a dry
deodorant. The Jasmine Nutmeg Body Powder has held its fragrance and I have
only broken up the clumps once so far.
Now the Energizing Blend Room Deodorizer I took the fragrance
recipe from the Energizing Blend Body Spray by adding drops of Grapefruit and
Lavender Essential Oils to the Baking Soda, I used about 5-7 drops Grapefruit
and 3-4 drops Lavender in the Room Deodorizer.
The Energizing Blend Body Spray I found doesn’t really hold
its fragrance well on the skin but is better when sprayed in the air. On the
body you can’t smell it well unless you put your nose straight up to the skin
and so no one would smell it unless they were right on you sniffing your skin
or kissing you, so maybe would do well on date night! ;~)
I hope you enjoy and try some of this yourself! If you have
any questions or comments just leave them below in the comment section and I
will respond as soon as I can!
