I enjoy using lemon eo. I love how it flavors water and makes my house smell great while cleaning with it.
I love that you can do so many things with the essential oils….. they are so versatile!
I love lemon – and all of the citrus – oils. I always make my own surface cleaners and use a citrus oil like lemon mixed with eucalyptus or tea tree.
My body could use a cleansing. I’ll have to check in to this essential oil.
Love the refreshing scent of lemons…could definitely see it leaving my house smelling fantastic when using lemon oil as my cleaning product.
I am out of lemon. How will I survive? I get my order next weeks. I have to try the recipes soon.
