Dr. Hauschka's Rose Nurturing Body Wash and Lemon Lemongrass Vitalising Body Milk

Yes I love all things natural. Therapeutic essential oils, fresh salad or tea from my own garden and as little GMO foods as possible. I'm not a 100% there yet but I'm going towards a Sustainable Chemical-Free Home.

Thanks to Her World Beauty Club, I recently received my very first #HerWorldBeautyBox! There were a bunch of goodies inside but what got me super excited was the pair of Dr. Hauschka's Rose Nurturing Body Wash and Lemon Lemongrass Vitalising Body Milk.

Rose Nurturing Body Wash
I was greeted with the heavenly rose scent as soon as I twisted open the cap. Anyone who loves roses will love it. Oooh, I can feel the layers of stress melting away already. The lather is creamy and not harsh to the skin. With its combination of Quince seed, Suflower oil, Rose oil and Avocado oil, my skin felt soft and the sweet scent of rose lingered. In fact, I kept sniffing my hand as I wrote this review!

Lemon Lemongrass Vitalising Body Milk
The body milk contains Quince seed oil, Jojoba oil, Sunflower oil and Olive oil which is super nourishing and provides long lasting hydration for the skin. I tend to have very dry skin, thus this body milk is perfect for me. The Lemon and Lemongrass oil in it gives it a refreshing smell. It reinvigorates me on lazy days. My "Oiler friends" would know, the smell of lemongrass can also helps to repel bugs too!

The rose scent in the Rose Nurturing Body Wash  makes me feel so luxurious and pampered, while Lemon Lemongrass Vitalising Body Milk energises me. I'll definitely be back for more!

Ah-Choo Equals Ear-Blocked?

Ah-Choo Equals Ear-Blocked?

I recently had a bad case of blocked ear recently. It started suddenly with a very innocent "ah-choo". And the trouble began. My right ear was totally blocked. I felt that I was in a vacuum, where folks talked and I was sucked into some animated Black & White film. I can see their mouths moving and I could not hear a single thing. It got so bad and embarrassing that I had to discreetly turn more to my left to follow the conversation. The other alternative will be "Huh?" which is so "old man syndrome"! My son asked if I was getting "Lao Kok Kok"! Which meant getting old in Hokkien. Super disheartening.

Hubby was really sweet to go to the pharmacy to get me a bottle of Audiclean. It's a natural isotonic ear wash which is safe to spray into the ear canal. I held back my uneasiness and dutifully sprayed as per advised. Totally no use! I was in despair.

My sister recommended a ear doctor which will cost me S$300 minimum, warning it could be something serious. Ok, I'm a "kiam siap". I wasn't willing to go see the doctor for something as simple as hardened ear wax! My only worry was possible infection, if the vacuum condition continues.

By then my ear problem had lasted more than 2 weeks and I felt my ear swelling up and it always felt like I had a lot of water in my ear. I suspected it's the entire bottle of Audiclean. Sprayed in but unable to come out. I cleaned with Cotton buds but it didn't help. I was also afraid that I might accidentally push the wax further into the ear canal.

We had an oiling chat group where some Oily Buddies will share testimonials on which EOs worked for their family. I love you guys by the way! You know who you are! ❤❤❤ I remembered a friend shared using Thieves, Purification or Lavender EO for ear infections.

I had to give it a try. It's either that or S$300 session with the doctor! I used a cotton ball and rolled it up tight to fit my ear. Throughout the entire day, I dripped either 1-2 drops of Thieves EO or Purification EO onto the cotton ball and stuffed it into my ear. This is to prevent ear infection.

Next, I gently dabbed Lavender EO around and behind  my ear to draw out the fluid in my ear. For those with more sensitive skin, I suggest you do a patch test before trying or dilute with V-6 or organic coconut oil.

Wherever I shower, I would also use the shower spray to gently clean my ear. Yes, I'll let the warm water enter my ear to soften the ear wax and hopefully, the ear will clean it away naturally.

It worked! And my S$300 well saved. After 3 days of using this remedy, suddenly I had the 'Pop' feeling in the shower. The wax just melted away. I was free! It's wonderful to finally be able to hear properly. Planning to use the money saved to buy more Purification, Lavender and Thieves.

No more "Lao Kok Kok"!

Customised Kymmie-Style JCB Shower & Bath Gel. DIY Of Course! (Bath and Shower Part II)

Customised Kymmie-Style JCB Shower & Bath Gel. DIY Of Course!


Bath and Shower Part II:

Ever tried a hotel's shower gel while on vacation and you found that it's just sooooo lovely and it frustrates you because the shower gels are usually customised for the hotel and is not available for sale back at home? Well, I had this experience recently.

I loved the bath gel of an XXX brand. Read the descriptions on the bottle in detail and realised that there's Jasmine, Cedarwood and Bergamot essential oils in it. All these oils are available right at home! I'm not the "Oil Queen" for nothing you know! *Wink*

Read up more on the uses for the trio and they are:
1. Jasmine - Emotionally uplifting and stress reliever
2. Cedarwood - Anti-bacterial and calming
3. Bergamot - helps to sleep well

After falling in love with my Young Living Lavender Bath & Shower Gel and a successful trial with my DIY Bug Repellent spray, my itchy fingers started to long for the Young Living Bath & Shower Gel Base. I can try to mix my very own "Kymmie-style" Bath Gel. With glee, I carted a bottle out in my current month's order.

It took some adjustments to my customised and "Oh So Luxurious! Kymmie JCB ™" shower gel. Finally this is what I'm satisfied with. Try it out, I simply love my blend!

• 5 drops of Jasmine EO
• 10 drops of Cedarwood EO
• 10 drops of Bergamot EO
• 1 bottle Young Living Bath & Shower Gel Base

*Drip the essential oils into the shower gel base & shake bottle well before each use.

Now I'll alternate between the Young Living Lavender Bath & Shower Gel & "Kymmie JCB™" shower gel depending on my mood. The feeling of going to a spa daily!

The combinations are endless with your own essential oils at home. You can also leave the Shower Gel Base unmixed in the shower. Just decide your Oil-Of-The-Day and drip 1 drop of it to the shower gel base every time you shower.
