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?

Giveaway #3: White Angelica
White Angelica is one of the most pleasant smells my nose has ever had the chance of meeting. It has a soft, floral aroma that makes the perfect perfume all by itself. There is just enough floral with a lingering "tartness" ( is that a word?" to it. When I think of creating a summer scent, this oil pops right to top of my list! The blend is a combination of Sweet Almond oil, Bergamot, Myrrh, Geranium, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang, Coriander, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Melissa, Hyssop, and Rose. When used aromatically, White Angelica, promotes feelings of security and protection. It is one of those oils that helps to put your mind at ease when going into a stressful situation or when you find yourself in a tizzy. It is used to guard against negative energy when used aromatically or worn topically.
You can blend this with your citrus and warmer, woodsy aromas. I love it on diffuser jewelry! I diffuse it in the morning to get in a positive mindset and put myself at ease. It is one of the oils in Gary Young's "Great Day Protocol". White Angelica is a perfect addition to your hydrosol spray for an after-shower body mist. One of my favorite perfume combinations contains White Angelica, Northern LIghts Black Spruce, and Grapefruit. If you are someone looking for a floral aroma but Joy and Geranium tend to be too strong for you, the soft aroma of White Angelica may be right up your alley!
