1. Diffuser and Oils-

Sometimes the best gift is the easiest to put together! Instead of giving a candle, share your love of oils with a loved one or teacher or neighbor by pairing oils with a diffuser! We love making a diffuser blend all ready to go. Look how cute this heart tray is to display your diffuser on!

Make sure to print this cute graphic to gift with your diffuser! To make any of these blends into a premade diffuser blend multiply each oil by 5 (or 10!) and drop that amount of oil right into a dropper bottle! Or buy all the essential oils you need for a blend and gift with the diffuser! Right now new customers receive 20% off their entire purchase with code shareyl. More information HERE.

This disco ball diffuser has been so much fun in Ella’s room. Lola has the smaller disco ball diffuser.

2. You’re Glowing!-

All women love skincare products. Especially when they see your glowing skin and what to have what you use. We bundled a facial steamer, my favorite exfoliator, glow serum (daily facial moisturizer made with natural ingredients), ice roller, and a headband with wrist bands you use when washing your face.

Glow Serum-

• Start with a 2 oz dropper bottle
• Essential oils (your 2-4 oil combo for YOUR skin type) then add about 10 drops each to the jar)
• Fill the rest of your bottle with Jojoba Oil (doesn’t clog pores!) I like this one
• Apply morning and night to clean skin
