Scents and Sensibility:)

Just a little play on words as I share a write up from ELM Tree Essentials!

Hello Market Shoppers!
We’re pretty excited to launch and offer you Essential Oils…the same oils we use in our soaps that you have grown to love! And for now, we’re exclusively offering them on this market. You’re just that special! J
Here’s what we currently have available {pssst, there might be some special blends coming in the near future! J}:

5 ml bottles of oil in Lavender, Peppermint, Tea Tree, Frankincense, Lemongrass, Patchouli, and our Thieves Blend.
AND
10 ml roller ball bottles of the same oils, which come pre-diluted to 5% in Jojoba or Fractionated Coconut Oil! These are super handy because they are ready for use, no dilution required!

Thieves Blend:
· Our special blend of Lavender, Rosemary, Peppermint, Lemon Eucalyptus, Clove Bud and Orange Essential Oils. Not intended for use on children!

The oils we source are therapeutic grade and intended for external use only. We do not recommend ingesting essential oils due to the research we’ve done! Essential oils have many benefits when safely used topically or for aromatherapy. We make no claim that this info or the oils will diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any illness or disease. Special care should always be used—dilute, never use the straight oil because it’s so concentrated! Stop use immediately if skin irritation occurs. There are very few safe oils for babies, young children, or expectant/nursing mothers so be sure to check the safety before use! Here are a few links to websites that could be used as a resource on that topic:

We’re excited about selling these oils on the market! Have a great week!
FYI, right now all the pictures show a Lavender label, so don’t be alarmed….you’ll get what you order!

Angel Of The Morning

Maybe the sun’s light will be dim
And it won’t matter anyhow…
(Juice Newton-Angel Of The Morning)
(Singing the Chrissie Hynde version)

The sun seems like it WILL be a bit dim, this morning, and it is COLD, and so snowy…but don’t let that get your morning down. Put on some tunes, grab a warm beverage, and get to ordering!!

Think how nice it will be to have your grocery shopping, all completed, from the comfort of wherever you are…

You have until tomorrow morning, at 8am!!

XOXO,
Cosmic Pam

We’re Back!
