Lavender is my favorite essential oil. However, I did recently purchase some geranium oil. I use geranium, and bergamot oil in my diffuser quite regularly. If I made much better money I would purchase rose oil, but at roughly $400 for 1/2 an ounce it's more than a little out of my price range.

I'm a beekeeper, and I regularly use Lemongrass EO because the scent mimics the honeybee-produced pheromones that say to a bee, "this is home". If you want to attract a swarm of bees, you set up an empty hive box in a place that bees are likely to approve of, then you sprinkle Lemongrass EO inside the box. When bees are scouting for a new home, they can pick up the scent from many metres away, and they'll come and investigate the box. We've seen dozens of bees flying in and out and measuring the inside and outside of the box for days before a swarm suddenly arrived.
On the other hand, you never want to use Banana EO around bees because it mimics the alarm pheromone given off when bees sting. If they get a whiff of that, things can get very painful very fast.

It was so hard to choose. I've worn 5th Avenue for like...10yrs...but I wanted to move to a natural one now my last bottle ran out (Though if Tabu Black Pearl ever reemerged...) and I found Pacifica in Mast. So hard to choose, I wanted them all. The vanilla was amazing.
I ended up getting blood orange spray and gardenia roll on...and a second roll on I haven't opened and can't remember. Now you've got me thinking of it...I really hope I had the sense to buy vanilla :D
I love the orange for day time, it's so revitalising. And the gardenia is a nice calming smell for bedtime.

I know they have such good ones. Gardenia is pretty good too, sometimes a floral scent is a nice change. I tend to lean more toward fruity scents. Orange oil usually works good for my muscle spasms but sometimes I just use it because it smells good.
Natural ones are always good. I about a year ago I started to buy unscented products like the cologne base and just add oils and just mix to try and create a good one.
In the past I used to use this kind called compagnie generale it was by Aeropostale it is my absolute favorite. Still have some but never use it because I don’t want to waste it. Idk if I’ve ever found anything vanilla that doesn’t smell good 😍.

Never heard of using orange oil for muscle spasms. I use magnesium oil. Will keep that in mind. Thanks :)
I think you're right about vanilla. It can't smell bad.
I've just found out LaVanilla does roll on perfume. I liked their deodorant, though it wasn't effective for me. I'd buy, but it's so expensive here.

I’ve never heard of that one either. I started getting them at like 19 or so they’re annoying and came out of nowhere makes me feel old and I’m only 20 but they tend to hit in my chest pretty hard. Only reason I started using it is because my mom used orange for her tennis elbow and said it’s the only thing to help. I tried it and so far it seems to help for these and is fairly cheap was worth the try. I’ve never heard of that company have you ever heard of The Naked Bee? They have all organic products that smell soo amazing. The Citron and Honey lotion is the greatest thing. I also like the Orange Honey Blossom although those are the only two scents I’ve tried. Heard good on the other scents too I really want to try them all.

Yep. But, y'alls gotta do the math. For example, my Honda Civic hits minimum total average cost at 219,000, with an accumulated average fixed cost at that point of 9.1 cents per mile. At that time, blue book value should be $1267. So, I can take my chances and drive it another 14077 miles and hope for the best, or cash out at $1267. If I put anymore money into it my TAC goes up. That's foolish. Usually it's better to cash out.

Yeah. Still a mark but the bruising and swelling has gone down. Well. The swelling from the tendon is still there (of course I get bitten on an injured ankle...) But the bite seems to have healed. I guess I had a minor allergic reaction? Idk. It's still itchy on occasion, too.
My pig bite healed quicker :P
