Lemon and Super Glue

I don't usually post about the dumb things I do, but today I'm going to share my little story.  My son has many treasures and this morning he left 4 little ceramic birds (from Peru) on the kitchen counter before leaving for school.  After he left, I sat down for breakfast.  When I got up to clear my dishes, I managed to knock 2 of the birds off the counter and they broke into many pieces.  Oh no...not the little birds!!

Then I thought, no problem, I'll just super glue them back together.  About 5 minutes ago I got out the glue and started piecing them back together and guess what?  I glued my fingers together!  I've always wondered how in the world do people manage to glue their fingers together?  Seriously?  Now I know.  I admit that I panicked for a second, but then I remembered that Lemon essential oil dissolves petrochemicals.  So I put a few drops on my fingers and started rubbing the Lemon oil into the glue.  It took about 1 minute but it totally worked.

I love Lemon essential oil.  It also works wonders on getting gum out of hair and permanent marker off of most things.  I also love to drink it in my cold water and add it to hot water with honey for a soothing tea.  It's great to diffuse in a room because it gets rid of odors and lifts my spirits--it make me happy.

Everyone needs a bottle of Lemon essential oil!

Cedarwood Essential Oil

I am really excited to share Cedarwood essential oil with you today.

Primary Uses:
* Helps skin recover quickly
* Promotes clear, healthy skin
* Soothing and calming effect on the mind and emotions--great to use in massage
* Helps maintain healthy respiratory function
* Repelling insects

Cedarwood should not be taken internally.

This is definitely an oil I will be adding to my 72 hour kits and my medicine cabinet.  I will use if to deal with cuts and sores, help me and my family remain calm in stressful situations and use it to keep the bugs away.  I'm really excited to start using Cedarwood.
