Naturally, I was
excited to try out a new brand that I hadn't used before: Simply
Earth.
Simply
Earth specializes in essential oils, as well as
deodorizers and air and fabric fresheners. (All at affordable prices
too!) “Simply Earth is a small, eco-friendly, purpose-driven,
family company. We donate 13% of the profit from every product
purchased to organizations that are rehabilitating trafficking
victims because the average age of these beautiful woman is 13 years
old.” Pretty awesome, right? Not only are you helping support a
small business and purchasing something you need at an affordable
price, but you're helping others out too!
I recently had the chance to try out Simply Earth's Peppermint essential oil. Now, truth be told, I'm usually not a fan of peppermint, but I had some plans for trying it out. And, now that I've been using it, the smell is actually kind of growing on me!
First of all, peppermint seems to
remind a lot of people of Christmas-time, so it was the perfect scent
to try out in our liquid soap for this time of year! Although I was
leery to try peppermint soap out myself since, again, it's not my
fave, it was kind of a nice change. We usually alternate between our
jasmine, cedarwood-patchouli, and lemongrass soap, which are all nice
and earthy, so the “in your face” scent of peppermint was
invigorating. I definitely recommend it for helping to wake you up in
the morning!
I took my husband's idea of having
cotton pads with essential oils on the air vents to make the house
smell better to our bathroom. On top of our house sitting vacant for
over a year before we moved in, the bathroom off of our bedroom has
terrible ventilation. So, it gets a little musty smelling in there
still and quite frankly grosses me out because I'm pregnant and I
smell EVERYTHING. Anyways...
I put a few drops of the Simply Earth
peppermint essential oil on a cotton pad and put it on top of the
towel storage thing to help the bathroom smell better. It definitely
smells a LOT better and I only have to put a few drops on the pad
every few days. It's pretty potent and lasts awhile! (I actually went
a little overboard the first time and you could smell it as soon as
you walked in the house...The door is on the opposite side of the
house from our bathroom. O.o)
I also meant to try this out on
spiders, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Huh? That's right. It's
said that peppermint essential oil is supposed to help rid and keep
away spiders. Funny story: I was at my mom's house sitting in a
recliner and a big spider crawled down one of the arms and
disappeared inside of the chair. (How many of you have the heebie
jeebies already?) My husband put her peppermint EO on a cotton ball
and through it under the chair (with the foot rest up) and I swear to
you that sucker came running out less than five seconds later! Lol
So, whether you're looking for a
festive, clean smell for your house or trying to keep spiders away, I
definitely recommend Simply Earth's Peppermint essential oil! Many
essential oils are super pricey (some for good reason), and that's
another thing I love about Simply Earth: you can't beat the price to
quality ratio! Plus, I feel like more people will be willing to try
them out that want to because they're not $40 a bottle!
