Window Cleaner


Window Cleaner: 

1/8 c vinegar
1 c water
10-15 drops lemon essential oil

That's it! If you have a large spray bottle like this one, you will want to double this recipe. I love this window cleaner. It is 100% natural, it smells great and works better than windex!! It's made with lemon oil so it is antibacterial and kills virus'.

Approximate cost for a large spray bottle (this recipe tripled): $1.50

Multi-Purpose Cleaner w/ Protective Oil Blend


 Protective Blend Multi-purpose cleaner: 
This recipe smells wonderful! It is naturally antibacterial and kills virus'. 

1/4 c white vinegar
2 cups water
20 drops essential oil
1 tsp borax
2 TBL Protective Oil Blend* Cleaner Concentrate

Directions: First add your water to an empty spray bottle, then add all the other ingredients. Put your spray top on and shake well. :) 

Suggested Essential Oils: 
I like to use about 15 Protective Blend drops and about 5-10 drops of wild orange. You really can use any combination you like. Lemon is very anti-bacterial/viral. The Protective Blend Oil kills virus and bacteria and PROHIBITS GROWTH FOR UP TO 7 days!! It's pretty awesome stuff so I like it for my multi-purpose cleaner. If you don't have the Protective Blend cleaner concentrate you could just add a few teaspoons of castile soap and 10 more drops Protective Blend.

IMPORTANT Note: Borax is a powerful disinfectant, kills germs, bacteria, fungi & deodorizes. Although it is natural, borax is toxic when ingested. Keep away from children, pets and food preparation areas. If you want need a multi-purpose cleaner for the kitchen, follow the same recipe and simply omit the borax. 

Estimated cost for a 28 oz spray bottle $4.00

Skinny Wrap - It Works!

Slim N' Sassy Skinny Wrap 



In a 4 oz glass spray bottle, mix: 

40 drops Metabolic Blend*
15 drops Eucalyptus
15 drops Wintergreen
10 drops Peppermint
10 drops Lavender
10 drops Grapefruit

Fill to top with Grape seed oil. Shake well. 

Before wrapping take body measurements. 

Spray wrap solution onto the body area of concern. For thighs add a few drops of cypress to recipe. 

Wrap with 3 or 4 layers of Saran Wrap and leave on for 1.5-2 hours. For people with sensitive skin or longer wraps (overnight) it is recommended to first wrap your body with some type of muslin or a ripped up old t-shirt. 

Drink LOTS of water with lemon oil during your wrap. Do NOT eat while wrap is in effect. 

This recipe is wonderful to help the body release toxins that get stored in the fat cells of the body. Everyone's body is a little different in how quickly they see and feel results. Some people see a quick response and for others it may take a day before they see it. Don't forget to measure after! :)

One 4 oz spray bottle will do 5-10 wraps.
If you would like to purchase a bottle pre-made for $17 contact me at purelyessentiallife@gmail.com.
