ESSENTIAL OILS FOR NATURAL CLEANING	

Homeology includes an infusion of pure essential oils
from eucalyptus, citrus, lavender, rosemary and mint–
some of the most effective essential oils for cleaning.
These synergistic blend combinations provide a pleasant
and natural scent–aromatherapy for your home. Pure
essential oils are light-sensitive and love the cool
blue bottles that protect them from harm. 

Essential oils clean as wonderfully as they smell.
If you press on the peel of any citrus fruit, out comes
a substance that not only smells heavenly, but in
itself has an impressive ability to cleanse, disinfect
and deodorize your home. From ancient Greece and Rome
to the world of Shakespeare, essential oils have been
used for ages and known for their cleaning, health and
aromatherapy qualities.	

Rosemary – has a reputation of energizing, stimulating
and strengthening memory.

Peppermint – Greeks and Romans crowned their heads with
this mint as it was known to calm and stimulate, relieve
pain, eliminate nausea and calm nervousness. Known for its
anesthetic properties and cold remedy as a chest decongestant.

Eucalyptus – known for its stimulating and healing qualities
 as an antifungal and antiviral agent. Also known to deodorize.

Spearmint – in ancient Greece, this mint was used as body
perfume. It was thought to stimulate and strengthen while
 bringing comfort to one’s mind.

Lavender – thought to be an antifungal, antiviral floral
used since Shakespeare’s time to calm, relax and deodorize.

Lemon – known for its natural cleaning properties and
excellent health benefits as a source of vitamin C and an
energizer to the body with its antifungal and antiviral qualities.

Sweet Orange – used in fine fragrances for many years,
historically as bridal decorations for the last century,
it is also known to uplift and invigorate the senses.

Filed under: Scent Blending Recipes — shopcandlespa @ 10:58 pm

Scent Blending Recipes are carefully selected recipes of individual candles that when burning together, create their own unique, blended scent experience.

 

To maximize your fragrant experience, use the exact sizes and quantities noted in each recipe – a slight alteration can be like adding salt when you needed sugar.

 

FIRST: Arrange the candles on a heat-safe surface with the largest in the middle and smaller candles interspersed throughout. For votive and Tealight candles, use a holder to protect the surface.

 

SECOND: Place each candle approximately two inches apart in your arrangement.

 

THIRD: Light each candle and let the aromas mingle for at least 30 minutes to create your new fragrance experience.

Featured Blend:

Halloween Night

·        Apple Spice tealights – 3

·        Toffee Drizzled Popcorn tealights – 2

·        Old Fashioned Licorice – 5 oz.

·        Candy Corn – 15.5 oz.

·        Butterscotch Caramels – 13 oz.
 

A fun Halloween party isn’t complete without a game of bobbing for apples and the most sought-after scents of popcorn, licorice, candy corn and caramels. This blend is smooth and oh, so sweet. Trick-or-treaters will be left wanting more than just candy!
