with a lid.
Fill with water and ice. Add 2 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil
. Put the lid on and shake! Sip on this throughout the afternoon for a yummy pick-me-up! Make sure to use a metal straw with this detox drink as citrus essential oils are so potent that they literally melt plastic! You don’t want to be drinking plastic
- Uplifting Moment: All you need to do is drop 2 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil
in your hands and rub together. Cup your hands together over your nose and breath in 4 deep breaths! More if you would like to. This has an uplifting effect and will help you focus with calm energy. It can be a great distraction if you are feeling overwhelmed or frustrated.
- Kitchen and Bathroom Cleaner- Use a glass spray bottle, fill 3/4s full with water, 20 drops of Grapefruit Essential Oil and 1 or 2 pumps of natural dish soap. I love the way this kitchen cleaner smells!! So easy to make and I save tons of money on pre-made commercial cleaners. I also love lessening the chemical load on my household.
