EEEEK! MICE!

a blend to help repel these furry critters.

Aroma beads Unscented – 2 oz
Organza bags with drawstrings – 4 or more
Peppermint - 4 ml
Spearmint – 4 ml

Blend the essential oils together in a suitable glass jar then add to the Aroma beads, shake well and let the essential oils absorb into the beads. This may take 24-48 hours.

Then place 1 tablespoon scented beads in each of your sachets and place in the area where the mice like to enter your home, cabin or car(?).

You will have to monitor the scenting strength as you will have to ‘recharge’ the beads as needed. We have some we use that are still going great after 5 months.

MUSCLE WARM-UP LOTION
for use BEFORE the big Race!

Mandarin - 12 drops
Coriander – 9 drops
Rosemary - 9 drops
Black Pepper - 6 drop
Ginger - 6 drop
Unscented lotion - 2 ounces

Marathons are very common this time of the year. We have a big one here in Minnesota along Lake Superior’s North Shore called Grandma’s Marathon.

So being it’s not too far off I have been thinking of all those folks that run or jog and well may need a little extra ‘warm’ up before heading for the run.

Blend these essential oils together and blend into the lotion. Apply and lightly massage your leg and calf muscles prior to your run.

Or you can use it AFTER the RUN too. To ease those aches and pains.
