    How To Use Essential Oils Throughout The Home

    November 30, 2023 / 0 Comments

    Essential oils may be great for aromatherapy, but can they really be used to help clean your home? In fact, lemon, tea tree, rosemary, lavender, and peppermint essential oils are all naturally antibacterial, whereas many more, like orange, pine, and eucalyptus, are often major ingredients in less-natural cleaning products. For me, the initial purchase of a bunch of essential oils was absolutely worth it; only a few drops are ever used at once, and they have plenty of uses around the home. Here are just a few of the ways you can clean and freshen your house with them.

I was like “No Way!!” I hurried over to the coop and sure enough, we have a baby chick out in the middle of the run! I knew I had a broody hen but I’ve never had any of my broody hens actually hatch an egg!! I picked up the little tiny chick and took it into the coop. I already had a “nursery” set up from when my last batch of chicks moved outside to the large coop. Watch this…
