Are you ready to ditch the dryer sheets? All you need is a set of wool dryer balls with essential oils. Wool dryer balls are 100% natural replacement for chemical filled dryer sheets. They work by bouncing around in the dryer, reducing static cling and literally softly "beating" your clothes. The balls shorten drying time by wicking moisture away from your clothes and they can last for years. Adding essential oils gently scents your clothes and adds one more way to get the therapeutic benefit of oils into your life. If you are trying to reduce the chemicals and toxins in your house this is one with a lot of bang for your buck since clothes, sheets and towels touch everyone in your family all day long. There are two ways to get your wool dryer balls, buy them or make them. Many people even use an old wool sweater around the house to make the balls making this even more cost efficient. I have heard though from people that have made them that it just wasn't worth the time and effort when you can buy them so inexpensively. Where to Buy Wool Dryer Balls: Amazon. Here is an affiliate link to the ones I bought. Etsy. No affiliate, just making your life easier. How to ...

Lavender Orange Lip Balm
It's been the week of DIY Essential Oils around here! First I made the bath salts, next I posted about the sugar scrub and today, it's all about the lip balm. Last winter my friend Jennifer from Threaded Together came over with some amazing Peppermint Lip Balm she had made. The stuff was awesome. Then in the summer she made Strawberry Lemonade Lip Balm which was incredible. I am hijacking off her recipe here and want to make sure she gets full inspirational credit. I have been wanting to try this for awhile with essential oils and finally the perfect combo came to me-Lavender Orange Lip Balm. It turned out great. Here are the directions to make your own! This will make 12 filled tubes. But with the beeswax bag you buy you could make 100's.

Buy glass. Young Living Orange Essential Oil Young Living Lavender Essential Oil (Save $25 on the new Young Living Premium Starter Kit) Washi Tape if you plan to decorate them after.
