Radha Lavender Essential Oil

Lately I have been obsessed with essential oils. Like crazy obsessed - but don't really know much about them.

Luckily, I was given the opportunity to review Lavender Essential Oil from Radha Beauty. It is 100% pure & natural. This came in a 4 oz bottle (with a dropper!), so I am stocked up for a little while!

Lavender oil is known to promote relaxation. Many people use it for headaches, as well.  Several people I know swear by it.

I have been hesitant to try it, simply because I don't like the smell. However, when the chance to review it came up, I jumped on it!  (Btw this one smells good,  not like the stinky lavender-scented lotion at the store!)

While waiting for the product in the mail, I spent a few days browsing online to get ideas what to do with it.

The first thing I decided to try is a detox bath. This calls for epsom salt, baking soda, & lavender oil..... Then I realized I was out of baking soda. No worries. I just used epsom salt and lavender oil. I don't know if it detoxed as well without the baking soda, but it was the most relaxing bath I've ever had. I was very stressed the day I did this, and after my bath, I felt a lot less tense. Not to mention, I slept amazingly!

Now a word of caution.
The oil soaks into your skin, which means: so does the scent! My husband said I smelled very strongly of lavender. In fact, he said he could smell me before I entered the room. (Good thing he likes the smell of lavender!) I was a little worried about this because, as a hairstylist, I have to stand very close to my clients. Luckily, the next day at work, my co-worker said she couldn't smell it when she was standing next to me. (Although she could smell it when I made her sniff my arm, so I wouldn't wear perfume the next day unless it mixes well with lavender! )

What are some ways you use lavender oil? I'd love to hear your ideas!
