These apps for oil users look great. I really need a better way to keep all my oily stuff organized on my phone.

Are you an oil freak like me? Can't stand to be out of touch with ways to use your oils or manage your oily business? These apps for oil users will help you keep on oiling while you are on the go.Ref Guide for Essential Oils This app works equally as well for both  Apple and Android. It's made by Abundant Health and closely mimics the information provided in the Essential Oils Pocket Reference book. While the book is a bit awkward to carry around with you this app makes it perfect for you to look up anything you need to know about your oils while you are on the soccer field.

A Bit About Me…


I mostly pretend to be a Denver based blogger these days but the reality is closer to a busy mom of two incredible young adults. I run freelance social media campaigns for large and small companies in my free time.

Here I write about crafts, recipes, travel, special needs, social media, tech, family life and anything else that strikes my fancy. I am a bit of squirrel and you never know what you may find here from day to day. Hint: it somehow always seems to tie in my love for essential oils.

Can I Help You Find Something?

Lately, I’ve been blabbing on about…
