    DIY AROMATHERAPY CANDLE

    Ingredients:

    • 6 oz Glass Jar
    • 7.5 oz. Beeswax
    • 40-50 Drops of Essential Oils
    • 1 Wick

    Instructions:

    1. Stick the wick to the bottom of jar using a little melted wax.
    2. Hold wick up using two sticks tied together at each end, with your wick in the middle
    3. Place beeswax in a double broiler on stovetop
    4. Melt beeswax until completely dissolved
    5. Remove from stove
    6. Let cool slightly
    7. Stir in essential oils
    8. Pour into jar
    9. Let cool

    *If layering the two waxes, follow the steps above but use half the amount of wax for each color. Pour the first color and let sit until set and then follow with the next color.


    One thing to keep in mind when making candles with essential oils is that the fragrance is subtle. If you are looking for a stronger scent, you may want to diffuse your oils. Or better yet, a combination of the two. Who doesn’t love the beautiful scent of diffused oils while enjoying the flicker of a candle? A powerful relaxing combo indeed!

    Feel free to make it your own combinations and make sure to have some fun!


    DIY Honey Bath

    Ingredients:

    • 1 Tablespoon Honey
    • 3 Drops of Pranarom Essential Oil
    • ¼-1 Cup of Pranarom Hydrosol

    Instructions:

    1. Add honey to a jar, add the essential oil and mix well. Then add hydrosol and mix until the honey has dissolved. Pour directly into your bath water.

    Honey is a humectant, giving this combination a moisturizing effect. It also works as a dispersant for the essential oils (which is furthered by mixing with the hydrosol) so that it seamlessly integrates with the bath water.

    This will make your skin feel SO soft and luxurious!


    DIY Essential Oil Clay Diffuser

    Ingredients:

    • Airdry clay (they used Terracotta for an organic feel)
    • Hemp Cording
    • Wooden Beads (wide hole)
    • Essential Oil (like Pranarom Zen diffusion blend)
    • Rubber Stamp (or household items to make patterns)
    • Circle Cutter
    • Drinking Straw or Large Skewer (to make hole)
    • Rolling Pin

    Instructions:

    1. Roll out clay into a slab about ¼” thick. Stamp design into clay.
    2. Cut out clay into circles and make hole at the top using a straw or skewer.
    3. Set aside to dry for 24-48 hours, until fully hardened. Flip pieces occasionally to dry both sides.
    4. Once dry, cut a piece of hemp cord approximately 18 inches and thread through hole.
    5. Add beads and tie a knot at the top of your last bead.
    6. Add an additional knot at the end of the two pieces of cord.
    7. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil and enjoy the beautiful aroma.

    You can make these as elaborate as you want. Add some metal embellishments, join a couple shapes together, etc. This diffuser can be hung in a car, closet, or anywhere you want to aromatize your space.

    • 7 Drops of Valencia Diffusion Blend
    • Zest of 1 Orange

    Instructions:

    2. Mix the salts until well combined.
    3. Add essential oils and mix again.
    4. Store in an airtight glass container until ready to use.
    5. When ready, add to bath and enjoy!

    ☑ Small Business

    ☑ Locally Made in Somerville, NJ

    ☑ Made in Small Batches

    ​Shirley and Theresa Bonner love their planet and their community. They are proud to have their on-line and wholesale business based in Somerville, NJ and have taken every opportunity to help make Somerville and the world, a better place to live.
