Take this fun and easy quiz to discover which essential oils you need in
your life right now!

Stressed? Craving peace or a good night’s sleep? This quiz can help you
choose the right scent. There is even an essential oil that can help you
avoid overeating!

We also include a great, easy formula for a simple cologne base that you
can start making now to customize later for yourself, or as a gift for
family or friends in the season of gift-giving.

A note from Annie and Cait: Many of us are sensitive to artificial
fragrances. We encourage you to use only pure essential oils, diluted and
with caution. Pregnant women, and those with serious health problems,
should always consult a physician before using essential oils.
