Sharing is Caring

Word is getting around that I'm "doing the oils thing." My colleagues are amused by the stories I share about successes and failures in my learning journey. Because we are in the medical field, I feel the constant urge to defend my experimentation with oils, even though everyone has been very positive and inquisitive about them.
Last week, at the most inopportune time possible, I was chatting with some colleagues about the spray bottle of bathroom odor eliminator that I made and brought in for use in one of our restrooms. If you haven't heard of "PooPourri," it is wildly expensive mist available commercially that one sprays into the toilet bowl before one....relieves themselves.The essential oils in the spray trap the odor in the water and therefore one never leaves behind a smelly bathroom. I made my own version with a recipe I found online with the same oils the commercial brand uses.  As we were chatting about the poo spray, none other than our administrative director and the vice president of operations decided to make rounds in our area, and capture our crew yukking it up about....poop. Oddly enough, these individuals also poo, and readily admitted it, and expressed earnest interest in how to mask or hide their own bathroom odors with my miracle spray. Score one for executive level poo and essential oils!

That same day, I gave a colleague a rollerball bottle of "Liquid Xanax" for her husband to use on their upcoming flight to Florida. Hubby apparently gets a little keyed up on planes, and develops a nervous cough and throat clearing tic that makes my friend want to suffocate him with a flight pillow. I instructed her to apply to the soles of his feet, frequently. We'll see if he makes it back to Wisconsin feeling mellow, or with feathers lodged in his throat.

Having read about Josh's skin tag testimony with oregano oil, everyone I know has now found something on their bodies they want to try to burn off. That skin tag has its own cult following, and I don't have enough oregano oil to go around!
Do you have a fun story about an experience with sharing oils? Feel free to comment below :)
