Give her the name and do all you can to help her. First of, it may have just been a misinterpretation of her intent. Second by having that feeling inside you of even slight anger isn't worth it. By helping her you will feel great inside. Remember the evil you do on earth comes back double and the good you do comes back triple. Feel the music, dance, and smile, smile, smile everyday. Life's too short and too hard for everybody. jmho *super banana*

Got this from Old Will Knot's: My Weigh 7001DX - Silver - Digital Postal Scales / Kitchen Scale Weight Capacity: 15.5lb x 0.1oz Weighing Modes: g, oz, lb, kg My Weigh 7001DX Silver has a 7000g capacity with 1g resolution and weighs in lb/oz, lb, g, and kg. This scale has a programmable auto-off, adjustable angle backlit display, hold/tare features, and includes a shipping tube cradle, letter holding attachment, weighing container, and three AA batteries. Great scale and less than $35. If your not familiar with the tare function, what it does is it allows you to turn the scale on and then put your bowl or container on it and push a button and it zeros out the comtainer allowing only your ingredients to be measured. Very handy, especially if your using different size bowls of different weight.

After many mistakes, I prefer suppliers that ship their product in dark blue or amber glass, or even aluminum containers. I know they are heavier, but if your using a flat rate box, then the cost to you is the same. I think some suppliers use the weight factor as a reason to ship in cheap see through plastics. They want you to dump left over product and reorder every few months or sooner. I admire the supplier who treats their product with enough respect to package it properly. JMHO

You may be running into a more aggresive USPS stance on air shipment of flamable prducts. I don't think the manufacturer cares one way or the other as long as they get their money, but the fines for shipping anything that shouldn't be air shipped are hugh, and many companies don't want to take a chance because the rules are always changing. Think you can avoid the problem by seeking out a more local source. JMHO

If you're happy with your results....great, but several people felt they did not provide a quality product. I too received fuel smelling foul odor products. Every supplier can have an occasional problem, but it appears Wellington has had too many, with too many people.

Not good in B & B either. Not only their FOs, but even their more expensive EOs were horrible.

Just search for "essential oils" and your find lots of suppliers. Be aware, they are not all alike. It appears some suppliers cut expensive EOs with cheaper oils. You also have FOs that are mixed with a little EO, and then you have suppliers mixing EOs to produe a blend and you have suppliers and crafters mixing Fos to create new blends. It's not just a simple EO and FO world It's a constant quest to find quality suppliers with a consistent product quality. Always, always start with samples. Shipping cost have risen as gas went up. Try to find a near by supplier or one that ships flat rate or free or reduced shipping above a certain volume. Both EOs and FOs being liquid are heavy.

Royal aromatic sells mixed EOs, and many EO mfgs. will blend whatever you want. If you know what you want mixed, google it.

I have it delivered in 6 gallon cases. Found a guy in the phone book under reverse osmosis systems. Talk to several of the local water guys and they should be able to lead you to someone who delivers. Most are small companies without web sites and you can only find them in the phone book. Sometimes they don''t even have an ad, but to them your a big customer. Make sure you let them know your volume. Around here (AZ) the main grocery stores also offer delivery for about an extra $5. Might be another option. I agree with you about only using distilled water for lotions. I even boil the distilled water for 10 mins in an alcahol wiped container hot out of the dishwasher.

Based on your scent description. I like "Spring Pine Apple".

Bought some over a year ago and threw most away. Very bad experience.

Is anyone making room sprays? What are you using to make the oil and water stay mixed? What ratios are you using? I know you can use DME, but it seems expensive if your percentage of oil is high. Any help?

It depends on what you are trying to do. If you are using it just as a marketing ploy as presenty done by many large companies then it doesn't matter how much you use. If you are trying to make it beneficial, what are you trying to fix? Sometimes its easier to identify the problem and work backwards. The internet and the library have a multitude of info on natural healing. The world of botanicals is fasinating, mystical, and exciting. Go for it.

Tex has it right, but make sure after the oil/cream is put on, the sox is put on and she keeps the soxs on all night. They should be white cotton also. Another idea is to make sure she is takng the right amount of insulin and her blood sugar is being tested at least 3 times a day. Sometimes when diabetics age they forget or don't care to keep as tight a check on blood sugar levels. If possible, have someone help and check her blood levels for a few days.

Has anyone had experience with Silky Scents out of CA. If so, what do think of their FOs and Service?
