amy g. Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Last night I tried an essential oil blend that is supposed to help one stay motivated. It is bergamot, rosemary and peppermint. I got so invigorated that it was harder to fall asleep, so today I made a perfume out of the blend. I'm sure it is a placebo effect, but my mood does seem brighter. The only problem is, everywhere I go people will be saying, "Do you smell peppermint? I swear, I smell peppermint." I'll just walk innocently by.

Juniper Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 :) Sounds like a good soap blend as well!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy g. Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Bergamot is a little expensive to soap with, although Dd does make a bergamot ginger gardeners scrub with pumice. Maybe I can get her to make some more of that today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I grow spearmint in a pot on the porch. I love pinching off a few leaves and sniffing them as I work. Mint perks my brain up. Lemon also works for waking up my brain. Once my brain is awake, I can be pretty motivated. Most days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Sounds great! Do you mind posting how many drops of each? Tia! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nansk Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks! I already have rosemary and peppermint. I am going to try this tomorrow morning (and order some bergamot asap.) Do you mind posting how many drops of each? OP, did you mix this yourself? If yes, please share the ratios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amy g. Posted September 19, 2012 Author Share Posted September 19, 2012 I've been looking for the ratios I first read, and I can't find them. I didn't measure anyway. I'd start with 6 bergamot, 2 rosemary, 1 peppermint and then adjust it to your own preferences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
