Laundry
Everyone loves when their clothes smell nice. I love it so much that I started adding some LUXURY to my laundry detergent-a few drops of flower essential oils.
I started adding doTERRA essential oils to every single wash and I LOVE the way my clothes smell, and my house also!

Garden
Pests and bugs
The most general thing to do for any bug problem is to keep the garden area clean and free from debris and hiding places for pests. Peppermint, Clove, Cedarwood, Geranium, Lemongrass, Rosemary, or Arborvitae essential oils also repel bugs naturally. Put 10 drops of any of these oils in a spray bottle with water (preferably when the weather is not very hot) and spray the areas of concern. But when it comes to specifics, here’s how to get rid of three main pests: Aphids. Use a neem oil based spray. This natural method is easy on plants, but gets rid of the aphids. Aphids can also be controlled to a certain extent by planting some “trap crops” like alyssum, dill, and yarrow around the garden that attracts the aphids instead. Squash bugs. Squash bugs can survive cold winters and hide almost anywhere. Check for eggs on the underside of the leaves of the plants (they are usually orange in colour) and squish them before they hatch. Spider mites. They love dry areas and dust. Try to control by misting the plants–water bothers them. |
