Tips for Making Your Own Blends

Hello {!firstname_fix}

We have finally made it to day 10 of our email series! By now, you have learned how to 
make 8 different essential oil blends that are perfect for the holiday season. Thank you 
so much for sticking around and being a part of this. It was a lot of fun!

To finish off this series, we just wanted to give you some additional tips for making your 
own blends. As you know, you can use the recipes given to you simply as a starting off 
point, where you add or take away certain scents to truly make it your own. You can use 
these blends for DIY gifts, to keep for yourself, or to give away to friends and loved ones 
who enjoy essential oils.

Tips for Making Your Own Blends

The first thing you want to remember is that you should not touch your essential oils 
directly with your hands. Without a carrier oil, pure essential oils are much too strong for 
the human skin. Whenever you are making blends, you should always use a dropper.

Traditionally, essential oil blends will contain a top note scent, middle note scent, and 
base note scent. However, it is really up to you and based on how you like your oils. 
Experiment with different combinations until you figure out what is right for you.

The trick to getting it perfect is to gather the scents you want to use, then add just one 
drop of each. With this starting off point, you can then begin adding different quantities 
of each scent, one at a time, until you are happy with the scent. Once that is done, you 
know the balance and can fill the rest of your amber glass bottle with the blend.
Have fun with your seasonal blends!
