First Botany Clove Oil Essential oil #fbclove

I was sent another essential oil to try so that I could give my unbiased honest opinion.  I was not paid for this review and all aspects of it are my own opinion.  I am not an expert, but I do use essential oils on a daily basis for cleaning, aromatherapy and over all well being.

I have always like to keep clove oil in the house because I use it when anyone here has a toothache.  It works wonders.  of course you do have to be careful to keep it off of your good teeth because it will eat the enamel off of them.  My husband has bad teeth though and anytime he feels a toothache coming on he grabs a Q-tip and applies it to the painful area and gets relief usually fairly quickly.

I also like to coat my pine cones with it just to freshen up the air or put it on the air filter where the AC/Heat intake is.  One of my favorites is to mix cinnamon and cloves and it smells like someone is baking!

This was a generous size 4 oz amber colored bottle with an eye dropper syringe.

According to the ingredients this is 100% pure Therapeutic Grade Clove Oil.

I have also read that clove oil is a great way to boost your immune system -- Another reason to diffuse it into the air.

I definitely recommend this oil.

Sili-Mitts Silicone Oven Mitts #lifequintessentials

Ok, I am bringing you something that I am really really loving!!

I absolutely love these oven mitts!!  They are quilted on the inside and come up pretty high on your arm insuring a burn free cooking experience.

I have literally thrown away all of my cloth oven mitts.  These silicone quilted type are the only ones that I will have in my kitchen!!

They are so easy to clean -- I pull the quilted section out -- toss them in the washer and dryer.  Not sure if that is what the manufacturer recommends, but that is what I do!!

These are made with a high-quality silicone outer shell (100% FDA Approved Silicone according to the manufacturer - Sili Mitts) and has a lifted pattern that allows for great grip.

Inside the mitt is a soft quilted lining made of 50% cotton and 50% polyester, offering you superior protection and comfort. Love Love Love this aspect on these mitts.  I have tried some other silicone ones without the quilting and they are a no go for me!!  I thought they were ok at the time, but the more I use the 2 types together -- I say go with the quilted ones.

Heat resistant up to 480 F/ 250 C and the silicone outer shell is completely waterproof; this means no more hot water burns or steam burns when doing your daily cooking ever again!

Extra long in length to cover your arms from far-reaching grease spatter or burns from the oven rack while cooking your family's favorite dishes!  YAY!!

Ok, I gave my washing directions above and then looked up the manufacturers which are -- Simple to wash with warm soapy water, dry, and put away or hang them up using the conveniently attached loop.  This is what I do between the big washings - which is to put them in the washing machine -- to keep the quilted lining clean as well.

I was sent these to try so that I could give my honest unbiased opinion of them.   Seriously if you do not own oven mitts like this you have got to try them!!

Check them out for yourself here -- no this is not a paid link and I get nothing for your clicks!

Roman chamomile Oil #FBRomaChamomile

Here is another essential that I had never had the opportunity to try before.  First Botany contacted me once again to try this oil in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

When I first put it on -- I wasn't sure what to think.  It has been on my hand for an hour and it is nice.

It has a spicy scent to it.  I like it once the initial strength of it has died down.

This is a generous 4 oz amber colored bottle.  It also comes with an eye dropper which is a big plus in my opinion for dispensing.

Roman Chamomile Essential Oil can help bring a sense of calm. Roman Chamomile is also a suggested oil for use during times of anger or irritability and has a therapeutic, calming effect on the skin, mind, and body. 

This is my first experience with chamomile and I have nothing to compare with but I would recommend to give it a try!!

First Botany Jasmine Essential Oil #FBjasmine

Today I am going to share with you another Essential Oil.

i was given the opportunity to try this oil which was sent to me by First Botany in exchange for my honest unbiased opinion and review.

I will start out by saying this oil was extremely strong and was not for me unfortunately.  I am allergic to it.  I put 1 drop on my hand and my throat almost immediately started burning.  So I went in to wash it off.  Normal bathroom soap would not take it off so I went to the kitchen and used my platinum Dawn.  I washed my hands 4 times with platinum Dawn before the smell dissipated.

All was not lost though.  I gave it to a friend who uses essential oils a lot and she likes it.  Here is a comment I received from her...

So, I have this little pinecone (real) that I put oils on in

my bathroom.  It seems to hold whatever scent I put

on there for awhile.  I did the tip of a dropper of the First Botany Jasmine

early this morning, and when I walk in the bathroom it is still

very, very powerful even now....about as good as a diffuser.

It definitely retains its scent!

 

I also put some on my wrists, and to me it smells like a pretty

normal jasmine essential oil. 

 

All in all, it seems to be true to its natural scent and anyone

who likes jasmine oil should like this oil.

 

So -- it was a good reminder for me that just because something is good for you -- people with allergies still need to proceed with caution and follow their bodies.

 

This came in a generous 4 oz amber colored bottle with an eye dropper which I really like the companies that use that method for dispensing and as it makes it much easier to portion control.

 

Jasmine oil has been known to be associated with skin care.  Jasmine oil is known to help fade blemishes, scars, stretch marks and skin wounds - which makes me really sad that I am unable to use it.

KING OF OILS: Jasmine essential oil, or technically Jasmine Absolute (Jasminum officinale) is often referred as "King of oils". Historically, Jasmine has been treasured for both its aromatic properties and uses.

 

If you are a user of Jasmine or have no known allergies I would definitely recommend you to give this a try.  If you have prior allergies I would proceed with caution due to the strength of this oil.
