A diffuser would be great gift for house warming party too. It would be more than just a decoration which is also a diffuser, humidifier and air purifier. It would be perfect to add on one essential blend such as Joy, Abundance and etc.

Of course, it would be a good birthday gift for your close friends where you can choose an essential oil that you think suit him/her. How sweet!

P I M P L E S

😭

I have a bad month, period is delayed to the last day of June and pimples all over my face all of a sudden. It was as bad as when I was pregnant.

I got no choice and decided to apply Melaleuca Alternifolia Essential Oil or more known as Tea Tree oil. The reason why I am reluctant to use it is due to its sharp astringent smell, but it is the #1 essential oil for pimples. Anyway, I apply it neat on the pimples. I bought it in the middle of July, and finally the pimples breakout is under control after 2 weeks using it.

Recommend this to anyone who have pimples prone skin.

Why do you need a dewdrop diffuser?

If you need a reason, there would be ONE solid reason for you. 

How many hours do you spend in an aircon room daily? Do you know that when aircon provides you a comfortable and cooling environment, it is also creating a dry environment? Dryness can lead you to many problems such as:

• dry skin
• dry throat
• breathing problems
• chapped lips

I work at the office with air-conditioned on 8am to 5pm, Monday to Friday, and sleep in air-conditioned room every night. I am having dry skin despite of covering myself with thick blanket trying to lock the moisture under my skin, spending an awesome amount on moisturizer for hydration purpose, but still can't solve the problem. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I will awake from a cough due to dry throat. I always have chapped lips, but I can solve this by applying a layer of Vaseline petroleum jelly on my lips before sleep. 

Even though aircon brings so much problems, I still can't live without an aircon living in Malaysia. Now, if I tell you that there is one way to improve this situation, will you want to know? You need a humidifier. 

When I first decided to purchase the Premium Starter Kit, this is one of the reasons I consider. For the price of RM750, I get to solve a few problems. The dewdrop diffuser is a humidifier, atomizer and aroma diffuser. At times, you can add essential oil to create the spa environment. On normal days, you can just treat it as a humidifier. 

It works very well for me. I do not cough in the middle of night anymore, this is immediate effect. I am confident that it will improve my dry skin in the long run. 

Diffuser blends for beginner

When I first got my diffuser, the very first eo that I added is lavender essential oil.

After a few nights, I decided to play around with the essential oils based on the recipe I found online. So far, I have yet to come across any combination that I love very much, and sometimes, I created some blends that my kids dislike, haha! 

And then I start to google, and found out that I make a few mistakes. 

#1 I did not test the aroma before I diffuse them.
#2 I did not synergize the essential oils together first when creating the blends. 

So, please remember, if you are using the diffuser blends u get from reliable source, first thing to do is, remove the cap of the essential oils, hold them near to your nose and waft them back and fourth. This is to test whether you like the aroma. 

After that, you may put the drops of essential oil into the 1ml sampling bottle (which comes together in your Premium Starter Kit). Shake well, and again, waft it under your nose, if the aroma is exactly what you like, you may drop it in your diffuser. Otherwise, you might want to test the aroma with other essential oil or just simply add 1 or 2 drops of the essential oil to meet your preference.

I referred to Young Living Blog post about five perfect pairs diffuser blends. I think this is a good start.

Thieves ➕ Lemon

💧💧 Peppermint ➕ 💧💧 Lavender

Cinnamon Bark ➕ Orange

Frankincense ➕ Cedarwood

Eucalyptus Radiata ➕ Rosemary

If you have purchased the Young Living Premium Starter Kits (PSK), you can try to play around with the first 2 pairings:
Thieves + Lemon 
Peppermint + Lavender

Try it out and find out the exact drops of each essential oils that you love in your diffuser blend. 

How to use Essential Oils?

My first impression on essential oils is that the aroma when it is diffused, it does not attract me much, because I am sensitive to smell. Normally I will walk away from stalls or shop selling this.

So, essential oils can be used aromatically through a diffuser. 

I am using dewdrop diffuser which function as a humidifier, atomizer, and aroma diffuser. It is easy to use, just add 5-8 drops of essential oil in the water, and press the power button to turn it on.

Alternately, if you do not have a diffuser, just take a drop of the essential oil and rub it in your palms, then cup your hands around your nose and mouth and inhale slowly.

I also put it on cotton wool ball and keep inside wardrobe and drawers.

But after I get to know more about essential oils, only I realize that essential oils can be used topically too.

Yes, I dilute the essential oils in dropper bottles / roller bottles and apply it on my face. Just like applying face serum, you may refer to my DIY face serum post.

Besides, I also get my kids to rub eo on the bottoms of their little feet.

In fact, essential oil can be used internally too.

Young Living’s Vitality™  are safe for ingestion. However, I have yet to try it so not much to share here.
