Shower Melts with dōTERRA Breathe

Shower melts are a great alternative to bath bombs if you are in a hurry or prefer showers. This DIY includes doTERRA Breathe Respiratory Blend, to help give feelings of open airways and promote clear breathing. You can use different oils for different effects, but this one is especially helpful when experiencing the effects of seasonal threats, or to calm the senses before bed.

Ingredients
1 cup baking soda
15–20 drops doTERRA Breathe Respiratory Blend
⅓ cup water

Instructions

Combine baking soda and water in a small bowl. Mix well.
Add 15–20 drops (depending on desired potency) to mixture. Stir until well combined.
Pack mixture into small silicone molds and allow to set overnight.

Pumpkin Floral Centerpiece with dōTERRA Oils

For a rustic and beautiful fall table centerpiece, fill a hollowed pumpkin with autumn foliage and cut flowers. Use a few drops of Cinnamon and Clove oils to keep your water fresh and your flowers vibrant.

Items needed
1 pumpkin
1 block floral foam
Foliage and flowers for arranging
2 drops Cinnamon Bark oil
4 drops Clove oil
Optional: florist’s tape

Instructions

Carve a hole around the stem of the pumpkin about the size of your floral foam block.
Using a spoon or your fingers, scoop out as much of the pumpkin’s seeds and fibers as possible.
Fill a wide bowl with water, adding the Cinnamon and Clove oil. Set foam block on surface of the water and allow to soak until wet all the way through. Trim the foam block to fit inside of your pumpkin.
If needed, secure foam in place with florist’s tape.
Arrange foliage and flowers as desired, trimming stems at an angle so that they are sharp before pushing firmly into foam.

Tips: If you intend to keep the arrangement out longer than a day or two consider using an upcycled yogurt or similar plastic container in the pumpkin with the foam placed inside so you can refresh with additional water and a few drops of oil as time goes on.

Autumn Pinecone Firestarter

Ingredients:

Soy wax or beeswax
Pinecones
Cinnamon Bark essential oil
Clove essential oil
Wild Orange essential oil
String for dipping into wax
Colored crayons (optional)
Salt (optional)

Instructions:

Cut the string long enough to use for dipping the pinecone into the wax and tie a knot at the top of the pinecone.* In a double boiler or a metal bowl resting in pot of water, melt two to three crayons along with enough wax to coat your pine cone. Add essential oil; the more drops you put in, the stronger the scent will be. Holding the string, dip the pinecones and set them on wax paper to dry. Keep dipping and drying to create a thick layer of wax on the pinecones. Coat with salt immediately after the last wax coat, if desired.

Tips:

Depending on the salt, the flames of the starters will burn a certain color (Epsom salts, white flame; table salt, yellow flame; salt substitute, violet flame). *Note: After you are done dipping you pinecone into the wax, leave one inch of wax-covered string to serve as a wick for easier lighting.
