I am a huge fan of using essential oils. Anyone who has followed my blog can attest to this. From aromatherapy to homemade products, I have used a variety of oils from a variety of brands. I have become familiar with good quality and lower quality oils. Not to mention I'm always looking to try out new brands and new recipies!
Just recently, I had a chance to try out
Simply Earth. I'm not sure if any of you have heard of them, but I'm pretty excited! Simply Earth was created to make having a natural home fun and easy at honest prices. Here is their story:
Every idea starts with a problem. For us, it was katie’s stinky feet. The only solutions we could find were chemical laden products. We did the research and found a blend of oils that would naturally eliminate the odor. When sourcing quality and pure oils in bulk, we found out they didn’t have to be so expensive. We were tired of overpaying for essential oils and having to go to parties to actually buy them. We were frustrated by using natural products that didn’t always work. When we asked around, we learned lots of women were upset about the situation too, so we decided to do something about it. We started Simply Earth to help make your home natural. We loved making our own natural products and knowing what was in them, so we created . With the essential Oil recipe box, you get everything you need to make your home natural; easy and fun recipes to follow, honest prices, and products that work. It puts you in charge and you can enjoy time together making natural recipes with friends and family.
Hearing their story is honestly just so relatable! So I was beyond excited to try the
Simply Earth Essential Oil Monthly Recipe Box! Each box is $100+ value compared to the big essential oil companies. Plus, you get a FREE Big Bonus Box your first month when you subscribe. Every box includes all the essential oils and toxin-free ingredients you need to make 6 natural recipes. Every recipe is crafted, tested, and loved by the Simply Earth team of certified Aromatherapists.
The box I received was amazing! In mine, I received
100% Pure Unrefined Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil,
100% Pure Coconut Oil Carrier Oil,
100% Pure Almond Oil Carrier Oil,
100% Pure Sulfate-Free Beeswax, 100% Cotton Rounds,
Amber Spray Bottle,
Amber 10ml Roll-On Bottle,
Amber Glass Bottles, Cardboard Tubes,
Grapefruit Essential Oil,
Juniper Berry Essential Oil,
Citrus Burst Essential Oil,
Copaiba Essential Oil,
Sticker Labels, and 6 recipe cards. My recipe cards were to a Citrus Face Mist, Sweet Citrus Lip Balm, Citrus Summer Diffuser Blend, Sweep Lips Exfoliating Lip Scrub, Radiate Joy Roll On, and a Cucumber Soothing Eye Mask. Quite the variety all from one little box!
Immediately, the first thing I tried was the citrus summer
diffuser blend. This was just adding some of the oils to my diffuser and enjoying the aroma that it put out into the air. Of course, my next item I would make was the sweet citrus lip balm. Everything else is on my "to do" list so I can spread the activities out a bit.
Making the lip balm was so easy. The only thing it didn't come with was the double boiler, but I already had that. If you don't have one, just use two pots together instead (there are tons of YouTube videos if you need help with this). The instructions were clear and easy to follow. I love how everything is clearly labeled. In a matter of minutes I had my mixture melted down and poured into my tube that was included. I'm actually surprised with how well it turned out. I would recommend using a better lip tube than these, but the recipe itself was a success!
Aside from having fun trying a new recipe, I was quite pleased to find out the quality of the essential oils and carrier oils were very nice. The aroma from the oils when in the diffuser smells lovely as well and of nice quality. You can tell the difference between cheaper brands and quality brands and I would personally put this one on the higher end of the spectrum. Simply Earth is definitely worth the investment and I certainly will be back to shop for more from them in the future!
