Best Wool Dryer Balls for Laundry (Simple, Reusable Alternative)
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.

Melt 1/4 cup Coconut Oil and 2 TBSP plus 1 TSP of the beeswax pellets together over very low heat. Remove from heat. Stir in 15-20 drops of Peppermint depending on how strong you want it. Personally I think 18 is perfect. Poke a hole in the Vitamin E tablet and squeeze contents into mixture. Add 1/4 teaspoon honey or agave nectar. This can turn your mixture into a deeper amber color but it sets up well. Stir well-if you don't get the honey mixed in well you can create this odd amber pockets that turn into liquid quickly in the tube. Line up your tubes (or rubber band them together ...

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.
