Hello everyone...

Thanks for allowing me to join your group I have had a passion for natural

health and the use of EO's for several years, although I still consider myself

to be novice as there is such a vast amount to learn, and I feel like I've just

skimmed the surface.

I have a special interest in ancient oils and enjoy reading about them and how

they were used. I have a few on hand (frankincense, spikenard) that have

amazing skin properties but the aroma of some are an acquired taste lol. To

date I have made and use perfume, soap from scratch, massage oils, bath

oils/bombs, lotions, lip balms, scented talcs, diffusers, etc. and am happily up

to my neck in a variety of EO's and natural source products (although I admit to

the occasional selective use of fragrance oils) and I am a huge fan of seaweed

and seasalts. My favorite EO's include jasmine, nutmeg, frankincense,y-y,amber

and the woods (sandalwood, cedarwood, etc). I would like to try neroli, but the

$$ is prohibative for me. Maybe sometime in the future??

I am also somewhat of a naturalist (plants, gardening,composting), with a

passion for re-creating " lost arts " (soapmaking, calligraphy, illumination,

etc). My family is my world and I enjoy the precious moments I get to spend

with them. I am also a work-a-holic unfortunately, which limits the time I get

to spend with my greater loves.

I look forward to meeting all of you in the virtual world here. I have yet to

meet anyone where I am living who shares my interest/passion for natural health

& EO's. Most days I never speak of it because people look at me like I'm

speaking a foreigh language. I get a lot of the " why can't you just buy off the

shelf like regular people " responses. My family supports me whole-heartedly,

but prefer I don't involve them in my " experiments " .

So again, thank you everyone... I look forward to hearing your stories/advice.

I'm sure I will have a lot of questions, and hope I can share a few of my own

experiences as well.

Bless you all, have a wonderful day!
