Fun Halloween Trick / Decoration

Cove Essentials

A fun way to use your essential oil diffuser is to use it plus a bowl or pot to make it look like a “smoking cauldron” that’s brewing something spooky!

All you need is:

  • an essential oil diffuser
  • a bowl / pot or something that looks like a witch’s cauldron

It’s fairly easy to do, all you have to do is place the essential oil diffuser into the pot/bowl and turn on the diffuser (filled up with water, or even add your favourite spooky diffuser blend.) and let the cauldron brewing begin!

One of my favourite diffuser blends for this time of the year is:

  • 2 drops of orange
  • 2 drops of clove
  • 2 drops of cinnamon
  • 1 drop of franincense

I hope everyone has a safe and fun Halloween this weekend!

Oldie BUT a Goodie!

The cold weather usually means more time indoors. Entertain your kids this season by turning play time into learning time by making aromatherapy play dough! This activity is a great way for children to learn about aromatherapy and essential oils. Use a variety of oils and colors to help kids learn new scents. Some fun essential oils could include:
– Wild Orange
– Peppermint
– Lemon
– Rosemary
– Lavender

Ingredients
2 cups flour
2 cups colored water
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
5 drops essential oils


Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients, except for essential oils, in a large saucepan and stir until combined.
  2. Once combined, put over medium heat. Using a spatula, continue to stir ingredients together until it forms a ball.

    Note:     Don’t overcook as it will lead to dry play dough.
  3. Remove from heat and cool on parchment paper.
  4. Once cool, add five drops of your favorite essential oil and knead until thoroughly combined.
  5. You’re done! Just store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for months of fun.
