Bliss aromatherapy perfume recipe

September 29, 2008 by jessica neaves 2 Comments

Aromatherapy perfumes can help relax you, invigorate you and put you in a great mood and are fun to make. Here’s a recipe for a happiness enhancing perfume from Essential Oil Recipes.

Essential oils needed:
2 drops Bergamot
1 drops Jasmine
1 drops Rose
2 drops Sandalwood

Equipment needed:
Measuring spoons
Small funnel
Small colored bottle

Instructions:
Start with the base. You can use alcohol or a carrier oil but a mixture of both is ideal. An odorless spirit such as vodka is the best choice along with jojoba. Jojoba has a long shelf life and once it’s on the skin it tends to dry out leaving your wonderful scent behind.

As jojoba is the most expensive carrier oil, try using one of the cheaper, odorless carrier oils such as almond oil or apricot kernel oil while you are experimenting to find your preferred recipe.

1. Measure 1 teaspoon of your carrier oil (jojoba, almond or apricot kernel) and 1 teaspoon of alcohol (vodka), using the small funnel, into your bottle.

2. Add the essential oils one drop at a time. You may need to use a dropper if your essential oil jars do not already have dropper measures built in.

3. Shake the mixture well after adding each drop.

4. Put the lid on tightly and store in a cool, dark place for a minimum of 12 days shaking at least 3 times each day.

5. Enjoy!

The website also notes:
Some oils can cause skin irritation, please check the specific oil profiles for each of the recipes you chose. Never apply essential oils directly to the skin.

If you are pregnant there are certain oils I recommend you avoid, such as Aniseed, Angelica, Basil, Cedarwood, Cinnamon, Clary Sage, Cypress, Juniper, Hyssop, Marjoram, Parsley, Rosemary and Sage. Again please check the specific oil profiles for more information.

Citrus oils such as Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lime, Lemon, Neroli, Orange and Petitgrain can be photosensitive and should not be worn in the sun.

Perfumes will smell different on different people and skin types, don’t be disappointed if you don’t like them all. Experimenting with these recipes is all part of the fun. You can always give them away to a friend as a gift!

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
