Review: Tea Tree Essential Oil

**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.** 

Every just had one of those weeks when you try to catch up but keep falling further and further behind. Welcome to my year... Can't seem to break my luck so what do I do. I say forget this - let's go try out my latest essential oil from New York Biology. I can't go wrong with that, right?

So I have used tea tree oil quite a bit before, as it may be the only essential oil I am even semi familiar with because I use it for a nice foot soak. My feet are tired. I push them to the limit and you can tell. The shoes I wear - heels, booties, sandals, boots, tennis, flip flops - I am sure you are guilty of it too. Then painting those toe nails constantly, to match our clothes, or just look cute. Fashionable feet is so much better than happy feet. So when I can call it quits on other stuff, I usually give my toes a break and a nice foot soak.




This is where I recommend tea tree oil. When I first researched it, I was looking to help my toe nails to look healthier, and to ensure my battered feet were staying clean. When you research tea tree oil you come to find that it is supposed to have antiseptic, cleaning characteristics. So I put a few drops in my foot soak, a bit of epsom salt, and ta da - an easy, relaxing, aromatic foot soak. Now the product seems to be of quality status - it came in a dark bottle to protect it from UV damage. It has a handy dandy dropper to make sure it is used properly. And to me - the aroma is wonderful. Clean. Strong. Refreshing.




 I hope that you too may find a use for this tea tree oil by New York Biology. I have been privileged to keep up with their products and they do not disappoint!

Review: Essential Oil in Lavender


**Disclosure: I received this product for a discount in exchange for a honest and unbiased review.**


So I am new to this essential oil thing.  Gave it a shot a few months back... bought two. Tried one.
Well, that is mom-life for ya! At least I tried.

And I am giving it a second shot.  New York Biology offered to let me give their lavender essential oil a try and I was ready and willing.  Mostly because my husband had actually been bugging me for some good smelling stuff to try putting on air filters.  I am sure he read about it somewhere and figured if he bugged me enough I would figure it out.  It was a match made in heaven - he wanted me to buy a new essential oil, and New York Biology wanted to give me an essential oil.  So I put my order in for NYB Lavender Essential Oil.


We received the bottle and of course it came in a dark bottle, which is a good start because you do not want your oils getting affected or broken down because of sunlight.  Opened that sucker up and... ahhh... a pleasant scent so far.  Honestly, I don't think my husband was a fan at the beginning.  I think he is used to commercial aromas for lavender rather than pure oil scents.  I assured him it was fine because I have had experience in a spa once or twice, and this aroma reminded me of those scents you find while relaxing or getting a massage.  We put drops in the filters and let it diffuse around the house.  It was a nice scent to have, relaxing for sure, but definitely takes some time to get used to.


Overall, I am pleased with this product.  I have not used it for anything else besides the aromatic abilities, but I am sure that I can find a few ways to put it to good use besides making my house smell nice. Pinterest - here I come!! When I learn to do more, I will update you!
