DIYing your perfume...
It doesn't have to be complicated. When I remember how much I used to spend on perfume, it boggles my mind. Now, I feel completely justified in buying a $35 bottle of essential oil that I can make 10 perfume rollers from!
Why use essential oils to create your perfume?
1. They serve a purpose other than just making you smell pretty. The therapeutic properties are a bonus! With this perfume recipe of Joy and Vanilla, it smells lovely and light BUT when those oils hit my skin, they also help balance my mood. Which brings me to the next perk....
2. You can customize your own blends! While I may wear this recipe before a night out or tackling a day that needs some positivity, I may grab a perfume roller of Valor, Believe, and Orange on a day where I need comfort, courage, and help in the confidence department.
3. It is affordable! Quality perfume is expensive. So if I can buy three bottles of oils for under $100 and recreate my perfume blend over and over again from those same bottles, I am saving money in the beauty department!
4. Toxin free aromas! If you have researched the effects of fragrance, you know that label has thousands of chemicals that can be lumped under the term " fragrance". This includes endocrine disruptors. If you have a safer alternative, why not choose it?
