Oil Up For A Good Night’s Sleep

I must admit I have really developed a dependence on watching television at night to help me sleep. I started this habit after my divorce last year and I really hate it. I stay up later than I would normally and I never feel rested in the morning.

My friend recommended I try using some essential oils to induce sleepiness at night. So I bought some chamomile oil to try. I plan on trying it tonight and going without the television. I really think it could work!

No Bites This Time Around

I love summer, but I hate mosquitoes, and it seems like every summer I get bitten to death. I hate the idea of using synthetic bug spray to repel the biting bugs, so I have typically worn long clothing to avoid bites. This is a problem because long clothing gets annoying on hot days.

This year I have decided to try using citronella oil. Citronella oil is commonly used in aromatherapy and works well to keep mosquitoes at bay. Both citronella candles and oil work well as insect repellants.
