Time to start blending

Now that we’ve covered the three key approaches to blending essential oils, it’s time to start creating your own combinations. What you’ll need Essential Oils Cotton wool or fragrance strips Amber bottles with dropper lids Notepad Stick labels

Storage

When blending essential oils, it’s important to be patient and allow your blend time to rest for a few days. This allows the essential oils to combine and the fragrance to develop. To store your blends you’ll need a few amber bottles. Amber glass helps to keep essential oils from deteriorating and protects their aromatic and therapeutic properties.

Testing your blend

If you want to get an idea of how your blend is going to smell, you can add a drop of each oil to a fragrance strip or cotton wool ball. Roughly imitate the ratios that will be used in your blend (i.e. 1 drop of this, 2 drops of that) then hold the mix a little distance from your nose, close your eyes and test the fragrance. If you’re not completely happy with the result, you could consider adjusting the quantities until you get the desired scent.

How many drops of essential oils to use per blend

It’s worth thinking about how much of your blend you’re going to need before you start. To begin with we recommend making relatively small batches of your blends while you perfect the fragrance. If you plan to add your blend to a carrier oil for massages, skin lotions or to use in the bath you’ll need some kind of carrier oil or dispersing agent. Alternatively, if you’re using your blend in a candle, some soap or just in a diffuser, you’ll want to make sure you’ve made enough. Rule of thumb: 1ml of essential oils is about 20 drops. For a 100g bar of soap, you’ll ideally have around 2-3ml of your blend to stay within the recommended 3% dilution rate. That’s 40 – 60 drops for one bar. For skin lotions and massage oils you’ll likely need around 15 drops per 30ml of carrier and in a diffuser you’ll want to use between 5-10 drops per 100ml of water.

Begin Blending

Once you’re happy with your recipe and how many drops to start with, it’s time to start blending. After all of this preparation, the actual process of blending your oils will seem rather quick: 4 simple steps 01 Get your essential oils ready 02 One at a time, add the desired number of drops of each oil to your first amber bottle 03 Give your blend a test sniff to check your happy with the balance – remember your fragrance will change over time so resist the urge to tinker too much 04 Lid your blend and label it – try to include the ingredients and quantities for future reference That’s it! Store your blend away from daylight for at least 48 hours and return to it once it’s had a chance to rest.

Top tips for successful blending

While there is a lot to consider when blending essential oils, the process is actually very simple. A few basic precautions and a bit of planning makes it easy, safe and rewarding. Once you’ve got to grips with the concept of fragrances, notes and the impacts on mood, the opportunities for creating gorgeous essential oil blends are endless. If using in the bath, ensure you use an appropriate dispersing agent (try our Jojoba Oil or Sweet Almond Oil).

How much is the pope's worth?

Though he presides over coffers that conservatively are worth at least $8 billion, Francis seems uninterested in spending, a radically different approach from most of his predecessors. He isn't anti-capitalist, but he emphasizes mindfulness in spending, whether personal or corporate.

bloomberg.com - How Un-Luxurious Is Pope Francis, Compared to His Predecessors?

Popes have been associated with fine living for many centuries; one pontiff reportedly died after overindulging in too much melon, while another sold sin-forgiving indulgences to help pay for treats like his pet white elephant. Today, Vatican City even has its own tax-free, three story luxury goods store, known discreetly simply as the magazzino. It opened just over a decade ago, in the enclave’s former train station. ID-enabled staffers can pick up Chanel perfume and Church’s shoes, among other goodies. In the reign of Francis—nicknamed the People’s Pope and the Pope of the Poor—luxury seems somewhat incongruous. Though he presides over coffers that conservatively are worth at least $8 billion, Francis seems uninterested in spending, a radically different approach from most of his predecessors. He isn’t anti-capitalist, but he emphasizes mindfulness in spending, whether personal or corporate.
