Lavender Essential Oil by Elrique Naturals




I grew up with a garden-loving Mom. She grew lavender in our backyard. She would snip it in the warm months and then let it dry and crush it. I remember placing the fragrant buds in a glass bowl and smelling it all year long. Looking back now, this was a wonderful fragrant blessing to have in my yard! Living in Florida now, no lavender will grow here. But - - I can still enjoy it all the time via fragrant blends as well as Lavender Essential oil all by itself as it does not need a carrier oil in order to apply to your skin. This oil is my favorite!

For this product testing, I made homemade laundry detergent (email for me for the "recipe"). Since the detergent is not that smellylicious (my own word), I needed to find a natural way to scent the detergent without a residue or artificial scent. Every load of wash after filling the soap tray, I add 4 drops of Elrique Naturals Lavender Essential Oil. It is the perfect scent and better than "Mrs. Meyers" lavender soap and it costs not even pennies per load!

I make my own body products as well as household products not only to save money, but also for convenience and health. You do not need a lot of time to get organized in your laundry room or your bathroom to begin a healthier lifestyle.

Elrique Naturals has made it easy to begin saving and enjoying a healthier lifestyle. I recommend this product because it has 1 ingredient which is 100% pure lavender.  I could write many blog entries about how to enjoy lavender essential oil (ala Bubba in Forest Gump)...

I may not ever successfully grow lavender in my backyard as long as I live in sunny South Florida, but I can head to my laundry room or bathroom any hour of the day and inhale it's fragrant goodness. I just don't tell anyone that I am always thrown back to my teens standing in the Jersey grass in my bare feet next to the above-ground pool when inhale this oil. Life is good! Lavender always puts a smile on my face and now a familiar fragrance in my laundry room. Find your signature "fragrance" today!

Jojoba Oil by Elrique Naturals


One ingredient but so many benefits! This carrier oil was a welcome addition to my health care regime. After recently battling a thyroid condition, my hair became brittle and started falling out by brushfuls for 5 days. Quite humbling  situation for me - a scary situation. And so, I am in the rebuilding stages of hair care and thus was quite excited to review Jojoba Oil by Elrique Naturals.

Here is what I did for this review. I call this concoction my Health Loss Help Blend: I mixed 3 drops each of Rosemary, Cedarwood and Lavender with 2 oz. Jojoba Oil. Easy to measure in a pet rubber syringe or the handy dandy measuring shot glass I keep in my bathroom. I used an amber glass container to store my oils. Shook well. Massaged into hair and scalp for 5 minutes. Left on hair for 1 hour, then washed. I will do this 1-2 times a week because it was that tingly good and left my hair squeaky clean. The frizzy brittle hair is gone. I did trim the ends of my hair before using this oil blend.

While sitting with the oil on my head, I read a book and drank a cup of coffee. The summer here in Florida is almost gone and a cool crisp wind had just come from the East. I had a grateful moment as I inhaled the oils. I detected Rosemary as the predominant scent. Jojoba oil does not have a scent but is the perfect oil to add another essential oil to it so that it can be applied to the skin.

I devised another fun way to enjoy Elrique Naturals Jojoba Oil. I have a ton of pretty powders with mica. I am referring to cosmetic grade shimmer here. I have been buying the Burt's Bees Radiance lotion but it has gotten pricey and the company has changed hands and I just decided I am not going to buy it anymore. And so, I have added the shimmer to the Jojoba Oil and am now using it as a body shimmer oil. Fun, right? The glitter stays on longer and is subtle. This oil is anything but greasy and sinks into my skin lickety split!!

Another generous, well-priced product by Elrique Naturals! Thanks for the opportunity, HealthBizDirect!

Scential Health Lemon Esserntial Oil: Best Spray Idea Ever!


Inhale and smile! This lemon essential oil reeks of lemony goodness! Immediately upon receiving this product for review, I headed to my garage and cracked open a box that just arrived from Ebay. I had purchased a beautiful clear glass spray bottle with a white BPA-free spray top. In it I poured 16 ounces of purified water and 10 drops of Scential Health Lemon essential oil. I headed out to my garden and snipped a few sprigs of fresh rosemary. I cut the rosemary in "itty" bits and dumped into the glass spray bottle. I was ready to spray - and spray - and spray!

I used this healthy cleaning agent for countertops, windows, doors, mirrors, floors, and the inside of the garbage can where it never smells fresh. Fingerprints on my stainless steel? Fuggettabout it (I'm from Jersey! No more fingerprints with this spray stocked and ready to spray.

Because I live by the motto, "Don't use it if you can't eat it!" I encourage others as well to make their own as it is so inexpensive and fun. I celebrate using pretty glass bottles and gadgets because with all of the money I save, I can afford to splurge a bit on useful items that are pretty as well as functional. Goodbye ugly plastic. Why not? Life is to be enjoyed.....

One can never have enough good quality essential oils! This one is 100% Certified pure therapeutic grade with no fillers, bases or additives and zero carrier oils. Zero carrier oils mean this oil will pack a powerful punch all by itself. Of course you can add this lemon essential oil to a carrier oil, but why would you want to?

I am blessed to do enjoyable reviews like this one in which my creative juices (oils) flow. I might step out of my comfort zone and make another spray with lemon and grapefruit essential oil. How about lemon and lavender with a hint of peppermint? My counter sprays will change with the seasons. So many options! So much savings. Thank you Scential Health!

Scential Health Cinnamon Bark


Remember growing up and eating Cinnamon Hots? That is the pleasant memory that assaulted my taste buds when I reviewed this product as a mouth wash. I added 2 drops to purified water. I keep a glass shot glass in my bathroom (why not?) for mouthwash as it is the perfect size for a quick swizzle of mouthwash. The cinnamon quickly sunk to the bottom of the glass so I had to stir it first. Cinnamon is beneficial for gingivitus, or tooth infections. I have sensitive teeth and was quite impressed by how enjoyable gurgling with this elixir was! Cinnamon goodness and memories all in one!

I also added 2 drops to 4 oz of purified water to an atomizer to use as a natural bathroom spray. I love cinnamon year round but this would be a great house gift to give a hostess and a Christmas present as well. I found glass atomizers on Ebay that were quite nice and inexpensive. So much less than a commercial spray and better for you and the environment.

Because Cinnamon is a "hot oil" you cannot apply to your skin without a carrier oil and even then some people are sensitive to it. I hear it is good for sore joints and muscles. It is also a mood elevator, and so for this reason, I decided to diffuse it in my diffuser and it was heavenly! I am diffusing it now. Do you see me smiling?!

I plan on experimenting with almond oil and Epsom salts to make a bath soak. I know I must sparingly add the Scential Health Cinnamon Bark as a little goes a long way. I loved this product. I appreciate its unique properties and the generous size of the bottle. The essential oils by Scential Health are affordable and have no fillers. Reviewing this product was so enjoyable!

Scential Health Joy By HealthBizDirect, Inc.



I dropped 6 drops in the palm of my hand and rubbed my palms together and then breathed in deeply. I repeated this process a few times. I felt revived! Inhaling deeply is good for our healthy anyways and so why not inhale Joy?

This Premium Synergistic Blend Of Anise, Cinnamon Leaf, Clary Sage, Lemon, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Ylang Ylang and Jasmine essential oils is heaven in a bottle! Lemon is on the forefront of this essential oil. I also detect Clary Sage which I am new to, but can recognize it. I am loving it!

Here is a great gift idea - for  pennies: Birthday Bath Salts - Mix 1 cup each of Epsom Salt and baking soda and 20-30 drops of Scential Health Joy. Use 1/4 cup per bath. Put into a cute container or mason jar. Wrap with a ribbon or raffia bow. 

Scential Health Joy can be worn as a perfume. I have a pretty glass spray bottle for my purse. So much healthier than a perfume loaded with chemicals and alcohol!  This essential oil is 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and contains No Fillers, Additives, Bases Or Additive.

Myrrh Scential Health by HealthBizDirect Inc.-Essential Oil With a History!

I was so excited to choose Scential Myrrh for review. Myrrh, as is Frankincense Scential Health essential oil; one of the Fourteen Principal Oils of the Bible. Myrrh has been mentioned 18x directly +138 times indirectly in the Bible. Most exciting of all, is that Queen Esther (Esther 2:12) was massaged with it for 6 months in preparation for her marriage to a king! I really enjoy experiencing products which carry with them such a rich history!

Just after twisting the cap off the bottle, I was thrown back in time back to the days in Catholic church when the Priest would burn Myrhh and Frankincense incense on Good Friday! This earthy essential oil is a wonderful scent to be diffused. I however, added a few drops of Myrrh to Meadowfoam carrier oil and applied to the light wrinkles on my decollete. I plan on continuing this until these fine marks are gone. This application is so much healthier and smarter than an oil with chemicals. I recently bought Bio Oil and was so disappointed. It was expensive, had chemicals and did not thing to help my decollete! The reviews were so good on Bio Oil too. How disappointing.

For an every day whole body solution for stretch marks: Mix 5 drops of Frankincense, Myrrh, Coriander or French Lavender essential oil with a carrier oil (I like Meadowfoam) and massage on stretch marks twice a day.

I also plan on making up this recipe to strengthen my nails: Mix 10 drops each of Frankincense Scential Health, Myrrh Scential Health and Lemon to 2 tbsp vitamin E oil. Mix ingredients together and store in amber glass bottle. Rub on nail cuticles twice a week. The possibilities are endless with essential oils!

Because Scential Health essential oil contain no fillers or additives, they are 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. What does this mean? You can apply it topically with full confidence that it will be good for you!

Frankincense Scential Health by HealthBizDirect Inc.


I did cartwheels when HealthBizDirect Inc. contacted me with the opportunity to review essential oils from their Scential Health line! More excited than a kid in a candy store was I when I saw Frankincense was a product offering for review! 

Since Frankincense is one of the Fourteen Principal Oils of the Bible (and mentioned 22x directly + 59x indirectly), I knew this essential oil was going to be my top pick! Frankincense was one of the oils which the Wise Men presented to baby Jesus. This essential oil was called "incense" in the Hebrew language in Isaiah 66:3, Jeremiah 6:20; 17-26; 41:5 in the KJV translation. This was a holy oil used for anointing.

Fast forward to today - helps depression, allergies, warts, headaches, bronchitis, herpes, tonsillitis, immune builder, expectorant. In the last few years, I have had repeated bouts of bronchitis. I know that boiling a bowl of water over the stove and adding 3-4 drops of Scential Health Frankincense then breathing in deeply will help clear my lungs and ease the congestion that comes with colds and bronchial issues. I am so happy to have this essential oil on hand for this purpose.

During my latest gluten flush detox, this product was handy to have on my bedside table. It is wonderful to breathe deeply right from the bottle and also, to add to my temples before I go to bed. You know that detox  headache? Scential Health Frankincense essential oil is a miracle in a bottle! I feel so much better adding this ancient oil to my skin. Because Scential Health essential oil contain no fillers or additives, they are 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. What does this mean? You can apply it topically with full confidence that it will be good for you!

Wellness Scential by HealthBizDirect Inc.


Sweet Basil, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Ginger Root, Lavender, Lemon, Sweet Orange, Peppermint, and Ravensara - blended goodness in a bottle. This essential is a one-of-a kind spa in an amber bottle! 

Upon twisting off the top, I immediately inhaled an indescribable scent. I have never smelled Ravensara, so I do not know if the Ravensara was the predominant essential oil in this blend - but I loved it. First, I added 4 drops to my diffuser. As the essential oil filled the air, the predominant note was clearly Eucalyptus.

Because ginger root is great for digestion, lavender my favorite flower and lemon a great tonic, I applied a few drops to the palm of my hand, rubbed to warm and applied to the soles of my feet and then put on thin linen socks.....the scent wafted up through the thin sheets (it's hot here in sunny S. Florida so we sleep in skinny sheets). I felt refreshed in the morning and pampered. Essential oils on the soles of your feet is a wonderful way to enjoy any oil. Because Scential Health essential oil contain no fillers or additives, they are 100% Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade. What does this mean? You can apply it topically with full confidence that it will be good for you!

I intend to keep this bottle handy. I also like to unscrew the cap and just - - - inhale! There is something so simple yet so satisfying about taking a deep breath but it is a double blessing to inhale Wellness Scential!
