That’s the prettiest infographic I have ever seen! Did you make it? If so, bravo. I’ve been trying to make these myself and haven’t succeeded in making anything but a mess, so far! I laughed reading your post at all your “etc’s” for every oil, but in a good way, because it’s true; every oilcan do so many things it is amazing. Your blog is beautiful.
Breathe Ease would be great to have this winter or Attention Assist.
I’ve been wanting to try the Attention Assist!
You had me at Ylang Ylang and Clary Sage 🙂 But there are also many others I would like to try, especially blends for the diffuser in my massage studio.. I think At Peace was on my wish list.
I would use it for a diffuser.
