You know those days when everything feels a little too overwhelming? I’ve had my fair share of them—like the time I spilled coffee all over my favorite notebook right before an important meeting. Ugh! In moments like that, wouldn't it be nice to just roll on a little calm? That’s why I’ve been itching to create my very own calming essential oil roller. What if I could carry around a little bottle of tranquility in my pocket? It sounds dreamy, doesn’t it? I can just picture it now... that soothing scent enveloping me while I tackle the chaos of everyday life. It’s like having a personal stress shield, and who wouldn’t want that?
Items You’ll Need
- Essential oil roller bottles
- Essential oils (e.g. lavender, peppermint, chamomile)
- Carrier oil (e.g. fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil)
- Pipettes or droppers
- Funnel
- Small mixing bowl
- Labels for the bottles
- Notebook or recipe journal
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Gather Equipment
First, I gather all my equipment. I take out my essential oil roller bottles, essential oils like lavender, peppermint, and chamomile, my chosen carrier oil (I'm going with fractionated coconut oil today), and my droppers and funnel. I also grab a small mixing bowl, some labels, and my recipe journal.
Step 2: Choose My Essential Oils
Next, I thoughtfully pick out my essential oils. I decide to use lavender for its calming effects, chamomile for its soothing properties, and just a drop of peppermint to add a refreshing touch. This combination should create a perfectly calming blend!
Step 3: Measure the Carrier Oil
I take my funnel and place it in one of the roller bottles. I pour in my carrier oil until it’s about 3/4 full. This base oil is so important, as it helps dilute the essential oils and makes application easy.
Step 4: Add the Essential Oils
Now for the fun part! Using my pipette, I carefully measure 10 drops of lavender oil and add it to the bottle. Next, I add 5 drops of chamomile oil for some extra calm, and finally, just 2 drops of peppermint oil for that refreshing zing. Wow, the aroma is starting to come alive!
Step 5: Mix the Blend
Once all my oils are in the roller bottle, I replace the roller ball top and gently shake the bottle. This helps to mix the oils and carrier oil together, creating a harmonious blend. I love watching the oils swirl around!
Step 6: Label the Bottle
I take out my labels and write down the blend on one of them: 'Calming Roller - Lavender, Chamomile, Peppermint'. I stick it on the bottle, feeling proud of my creation. Now it has a professional touch!
Step 7: Test and Enjoy
I find a quiet moment to test my new roller. I roll some on my wrists and breathe in the soothing scent. It's so calming and lovely! I can already feel my stress melting away.
Step 8: Document the Recipe
Finally, I jot down my recipe in my notebook: 10 drops lavender, 5 drops chamomile, 2 drops peppermint, topped with fractionated coconut oil. I can’t wait to make it again! This is a fun way to bring a little peace into my day.
