Balm Balm Rose Geranium Single Note 100% Organic EDP

I picked up a sample vial (2ml) of Balm Balm's Rose Geranium EDP (£1.50 with my recent Naturisimo order).  It's gorgeous, smells rosy and flowery and reminiscent of turkish delight.  100% organic, 100% natural and Soil Association approved.

There are seven single note scent in the range - bergamot - mandarin - ylang ylang - rose geranium - lavender - Spearmint and Petigrain.  At Balm Balm you can buy all seven in a mini set.  Tempted!

They contain gentle organic grain alcohol and pure essential oils.  They can be worn alone or combined.

Some suggestions - refreshing - bergamot & spearmint, romantic - rose geranium & lavender, outrageous - all seven!

Full size retails at £18 with free P&P at Naturisimo.  I'll definitely be purchasing it full size soon.  Have you tried any of the scents?

DIY Beauty

I sometimes make my own DIY beauty -

Bath Oil: single use - 5 drops of essential oil in 10ml (2tsp) carrier oil (e.g. Almond, Coconut, Sunflower, Calendula etc).  My favourite blends are Rose Geranium & Lime and Geranium & Lavender.

Salt Scrub: enough for one treatment - 2tbs sea salt, 1tsp dried lavender buds, 2tbs Almond Oil, two drops of essential oil.   Mix all ingredients together and use immediately.  This leaves the skin smooth, soft and moisturised though be careful because the bath/shower will be slippy after use.

Hair Treatment: one treatment - mix together 2 drops of Chamomile essential oil with 1tsp coconut oil.  Massage through the hair focussing on the scalp and ends.  Leaves hair conditioned and silky smooth.

For restful sleep: put 2 drops Lavender oil onto a ball of cotton wool/a tissue and tuck inside your pillowcase.

Keep Calm: keep a bottle of Frankincense oil in your bag and sniff to combat feelings of panic or for use in stressful situations.
