#New York Biology Sandalwood

When I first got this essential oils and smelled it, I just sighed. It smells so good. I immediatly put some in my oil burner. I only added a couple of drops, and that was about 4 days ago. I have not had to refresh it since. It is just a nice, soft, scent that has made my apartment smell amazing. I did find out that sandalwood can be used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It kills germs and helps prevent infection. That is great to know that you can use a natural product to keep infection and germs at bay without having to resort to drugs. I also have been using it as a perfume. I just put a couple of dabs on my wrist and it smells good all day long. In fact, I put it on yesterday, and when I got up this morning I could still smell it. There is no touch up with sandalwood needed like other perfumes. I do know that they use sandalwood in men's cologne and women's perfume. Another interesting thing about sandalwood that I did not know is that if you have a cough you can gargle with it and it will get rid of your cough. Just mix a couple of drops with some water and gargle away. it is also said to ward off flu and cold symptoms. I have not tried it for that yet. One great thing about essential oils is that most of them can be used to make homemade cleaners and sandalwood is no exception. Just mix a couple of drops in a spray bottle with some water and you have your cleaner. I like to mix mine with a couple of drops of peppermint oil too. If you are wanting to try sandalwood essential oils, I recommend that you check out New York Biology's sandalwood It is 100% natural. Also, it is cruelty free. I love that, as I hate to think of companies testing these kinds of things on innocent animals. So pick yourself up a bottle of New York Biology Sandalwood and have your own perfume. It is cheaper than a lot of other perfumes, and has a lot more uses. Disclaimer: This item was sent to me for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

#New York Essential Oils: Lavender

First of all, I cannot say enough about the brand, New York Essential Oils. They are all 100% natural and cruelty fee. This means you are going to get a high quality product that is not tested on animals. Another thing is I love the smell of lavender. It is so soothing and relaxing. After I received this I did some research and some experimenting with this. I learned a lot more about lavender essential oils that I did not know about. One of the things I learned is that it is great for your skin. You just take a couple of drops and add it to your moisturizer. Not only does this make your skin smooth and supple, but it smells great while it is doing it. I tried it and now it is part of my daily skin care routine. Another thing about lavender, and I already knew this, is that it is a great essential oil to help you calm down and relax. If you are having troubles sleeping, just put a couple drops on your pillow. You will be sound asleep and snoring in no time. if you use this in your diffuser or oil burner it will put such a calming effect on your home that you will not believe it. One of the things I did with the lavender oil is that I put a couple of drops in a spray bottle and used it to clean my home. It smelled so good while really cleaning well. You could also mix this with other essential oils like peppermint to use in your cleaning routine. There are so many benefits to using lavender essential oils that I cannot name them all. It also can be used as a perfume. Just put a couple of drops on your wrist and behind your ear. It will stay with you all day. If you are wanting to get yourself some lavender essential oil, check out the ones from New York Biology that are, like I said, cruelty free and 100% natural. You will not go wrong.

#New York Biology Tea Tree Essential Oil

I had heard so many things about tea tree oil. Everyone around me was talking about it, from my friends to people I watch on YouTube. So, I decided to check it out for myself. What I found is that the information that I got on the uses for Tea Tree oil was very limited compared to what I found out when I did my research. I did do some experimenting on my own and this is what I found:

1.) Tea tree oil does not have  a strong scent, but it is not necessarily a pleasant scent. I did not particularly care for the scent, but the benefits that you get from using tea tree oil makes the scent bearable.

2.) I got mine from New York Biology and the one great thing about this company is that it is cruelty free. I am an animal lover and I hate it when animals are hurt in the name of business or progress. New York Biology does not test their products on animals.

3.) One of the benefits of tea tree oil I learned was that it can be used to kill fleas. You just take a couple of drops and put it in a spray bottle with water. You then spray it on the pet areas in your home. The tea tree oil will kill the fleas and their eggs.

4.) Another benefit of  tea tree oil is that it is great for getting rid of acne. You just put a couple of drops on a cotton ball or pad and dab it on the blemishes. By the next day, they are gone

5.) One of the other benefits of tea tree oil is that you can mix a couple of drops in your shampoo when washing your hair. This will help get rid of dandruff. I found this useful because I am always getting dandruff in the winter time.

So, as you can see, there are so many benefits to using tea tree oil. The ones above are just a few of them and they are the ones that I have tried and can say for certain it works. One of the other things I want to try is to make my homemade cleaners using tea tree oil. I feel it would be good for killing germs.

If you have been wanting to try tea tree oil I highly recommend it. I especially recommend the one from New York Biology as they are cruelty free. I also forgot to mention that they are 100% natural also.

New York Biology Peppermint Essential Oils

This peppermint Essential Oil is of great quality. I had to do some research on how to use it for sure as i am new to the world of essential oils. One of the ways I really like it is for clearing up my sinuses. I suffer with seasonal allergies and have been dealing with a plugged up nose for weeks. Once I got this, all I did was inhale just a little out of the bottle Almost instantly, my nose and sinuses felt so much better. I could actually breathe. Another thing I found with peppermint essential oil is that you put a few drops in a spray bottle with some water. You spray it around the perimeter of your home and it keeps the spiders and flying insects away. Insects and spiders do not like the smell of peppermint. One of the other things I did with it was to take a couple of drops and rub them into my temples. The heat from the peppermint helps to soothe headaches and make them go away. This essential oil has so many uses. I am looking forward to experimenting with it more. One of the other uses I found for this was that it relaxes your muscles. Wherever you are feeling stiff and sore, just take a couple of drops and put it on that area. The heat from the peppermint soothes those muscles and helps them to relax.

I cannot say enough good things about this product. The peppermint essential oils from New York Biology are top notch and of great quality. Disclaimer: I received this item for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are myowb.
