"Chemisting" with Essential Oils!

My degree says I'm a biologist, and I honestly despised chemistry (that could have been less to do with the actual subject and more to do with one certain professor).  However, essential oils actually make me want to play chemist!

I've never posted about my love (borderline obsession!) of oils because I hate to be the one doing what everyone else is doing.  When I finally got the courage to start this blog essential oils were just starting to gain mainstream popularity and now, well they are just "all the rage". I had been "chemisting" for years and didn't want to seem like I was trying to be too trendy now that it was the "in" thing to do.  I think wwwwaaaayyyy too much into things, I know!

In my effort to give less fucks about what people think of me I decided to just share my knowledge and talk about what I love.  So simple... Why overthink?!

So I'm going to be including some of the ways I use essential oils in my daily life in my upcoming posts.  

Now important reminder: I'm not an actually chemist (or oil expert)! Use my info at your own discretion.  Essential oils are real and natural and super beneficial for a lot of reasons, but they are still chemicals.  It is important to be using them safely and in the right amounts.  Some oils that are ok for me might not be ok for you, or you might have pets in your house that shouldn't be around certain oils, or your children might not tolerate some oils well.  So keep that in mind and do your own research using a reliable source (Wikipedia and Google don't count here).  Ask your doctor if you need to, although I can't guarantee how receptive/knowledgeable he/she might be about this.

Either way just have fun with it.  Play around (safely) and find what you like and what works for you!  And feel free to share when you find a super cool way to use oils or stumble upon an amazing blend!  

Enjoy "chemisting"!
