I mentioned yesterday we had one of our nieces visit us over the weekend. A few months back I had given her a few of the things we had made from recipes. She mentioned them while she was here and asked if we could make more. Well of course! I had the September Simply Earth essential oils box just waiting to be opened and made. She had a great time trying out the recipes and using the items. Simply Earth has a future subscriber for sure!
The September Essential Oils box has a theme of Candle Making. I love fall candles and their cozy, warming scents! Here is what the September box has in store.
This month’s September Essential Oil Box contains 2 braided cotton wicks, a wax sachet mold, soy pillar wax and 4 specially curated essential oils. This month’s essential oils are:
- Blood orange- stimulates, cleans
- Cinnamon- uplifts, repels insects
- Coffee- warms, energizes
- Sweet Dreams- relaxes, calms
This month’s recipes are Autumn Days Diffuser Blend, Sweet Memories Roll-On, Ice Cream Candle, Sweet Dreams Floral Candle, Citrus Wax Sachet, and DIY Fall Scented Pinecones.
Autumn Days Diffuser Blend
This fall inspired scent reminds me of a combination of coffee shop and autumn leaves. I love the hint of citrus.
Sweet Memories Roll On
This is a really nice roll on. To me, it feels calming and uplifting.
Sweet Dreams Floral Candle
It was fun to hunt down a few items from nature to include in this candle. We found some leaves and dried hydrangeas to use. The inclusions really make the candle more beautiful. It becomes a decor piece and not just a candle! The scent is so calming , especially at night!
Ice Cream Candle
I love the combination of cinnamon and coffee! I’m not a coffee drinker, but I do like the scent of it. It was a fun idea to make more then a typical hand-poured candle. I didn’t do a great job with the ice cream scoop shape, but I’ll try again next time!
Citrus Wax Sachet
This was by far our favorite recipe this month! It’s so easy and quick to make. It’s a really fun and useful piece, too. We liked adding in the dried orange slices. We made several of these for ourselves and my mom! You could easily alter this recipe to include dried flowers or leaves and different essential oils.
DIY Fall Scented Pinecones
I love the cinnamon scented pinecones you find in stores around this time of year. They add a lovely, cozy scent to your decor. But it does make me a bit worried about what chemicals are used to make them. It didn’t even cross my mind to make my own! We had fun collecting pinecones to make this!
THE VALUE OF THE SIMPLY EARTH SUBSCRIPTION BOX
The Simply Earth subscription box is a wonderful opportunity to begin using essential oils more and making useful and fun items you can use in your home. I learn things every month! This month I was so excited about the lava rock diffuser so I can begin using essential oils in my shower every day. It will replace my shower bombs and will help save me some money!
Simply Earth sells essential oils at honest prices AND teaches you how to use them in recipes as well as sharing what the uses the oils have. If you have children, the box is a great way to spend some time with them making things together! Use my referral link and my code IDODECLAIREFREE and receive a $40 gift card towards a future box or something else on their site AND a free Bonus Box!! This box contains all kinds of little extras to help you make the recipes.
Added Benefits
There are other benefits to the subscription box like being able to add items to your box for free shipping, being able to exchange oils, and being able to gift a month to someone! The Simply Earth box is a wonderful value at just under $40. That includes you get 4 oils, ingredients, recipes, and some containers each month!
Simply Earth provides support for you with their blog containing videos and explanations of each recipe, a facebook group where you can ask questions and share knowledge, an essential oil hero course so you can make your own recipes, and their amazing customer service team!
I also love that 13% of all products go to support organizations that work to end human trafficking. This month the proceeds are going towards Dton Naam Ministries. This organization is based in Thailand and helps boys rebuild their lives by helping them leave prostitution. They are provided with counseling, healthcare, and education. A Simply Earth monthly subscription can do good for the environment AND society.
The NEW Recipe Box
If your collection of essential oil recipes is rivaling mine, you may want to check out the essential oil recipe box to help you organize them! It includes blank recipe cards and wooden dividers to help you categorize and organize your cards. It’s wonderful! There is even a notch in the lid so you can prop a recipe card while making the recipe!
