Thank you. Keep us informed on that.Is it time consuming and cost effective?
Namaste

Comment by Eeris Kallil CMT on November 4, 2009 at 12:56am: I was just thinking... I might make a quick video about making the lotion.

Comment by Katie Wolff on November 3, 2009 at 11:12am: Wow I had no idea I could actually make my own lotions! Extended use of the crud at work causes me to break out in a rash. I can't wait to try my hand at making my own.

Comment by Eeris Kallil CMT on October 31, 2009 at 10:20am: LOL... ME TOO! I wish this site had a spell check my trick is to copy and paste my comments on a word document to check for spelling... then copy and paste to the comment box.. what a hussle. I am not going to do that on this one thou, only havve a few min here.. My faiv is Geranim/lavender/rose.. invigorating and relaxing at the same time. Love bergamont and orange. for a gentle combo i use plain lavender. forgot about the sage, good idea! i use rosmary timetime for hot stone. talk to you later!

Comment by Bonny Donnelly on October 31, 2009 at 9:58am: that was a type-o- it is Fraccionated

Comment by Bonny Donnelly on October 31, 2009 at 9:58am: Hi Eeris,
I use faccionated coconut oil (unscented) as a carrier and add some lavender, orange and eucalyptus for a nice massage oil base. Can then of course customize it for clients wiht whatever they need or their preferences. Sometimes I add in some bergamot and chamomile to that signature base for a nice touch. When I do Native American Hot Stone massage and for the sweatl odges I use sage, and other lovely aromas. So much fun and as I am sure you know, so may blends. I have a bucn of blends: energy, migraine/ headache blend, stress, insomnia, emotional, 5 elements oils - Holiday- all kinds of good stuff!
Now how about YOUR favorites? ;-)

Comment by Eeris Kallil CMT on October 30, 2009 at 7:01pm: Welcome Bonny! glad you joined! Would love to hear about your faivorite blends? And what do you use them for?

Comment by Bonny Donnelly on October 29, 2009 at 10:44pm: Great idea for a group here- I make my own blends for aromatherapy and some other things. This is a great way to share. Thanks for starting it, Eeris!
