Friday's Finds | the Love of Lavender

.. ..  . .. . . .. . . . .. . .. .

{Welcome to Friday's Finds! For those of you who are new to this blog and/or just poppin' in - Hello! and welcome. On Friday's I like to try and feature "a find" of no particular value or sentiment, no reason or rhyme and yet, exactly for all of those reasons I just mentioned.}

Today's Friday's Finds feature is : Lavender Essential Oil

Let me tell you what....  I slept G*R*E*A*T last night!!

I bought this little jar of Lavender Essential Oil -oh, forever ago - and even though it sits "all nice" in our upstairs bathroom - I admit, I haven't been using is like I once used to.  So, I decided to see if it still held up to all it's charm.  Yes, yes it did!!!

There was a time (when I worked out side of the home, full-time) that I would faithfully drip a drop or two of the oil onto my pillow, each night, or even drip several drops into my bath water, just to relax me and so that I could count on a much better sleep that night...

It really works!


You can buy Lavender Room Sprays or Linen Mists (which I have) - but I've never found anything to be quite as effective as the actual Essential Oils. 

I even tried to grow Lavender, enough, to make my own nosegays or to dry it and use it in neck pillows or "bean/rice" bag pillows.... but, so far my plans for growing it have been "uprooted".  We've either had to move or I got the wrong type of plant... it just didn't do so well.

Yet!

I also would like to give a shout-out to a bloggy friend of mine, today, who also has an Etsy Shop and is seemingly doing very well in the making and selling of their Handmade and Homegrown Soaps. 

In fact:  Right now they have a 10% sale going on till the end of February - read her post, HERE, explaining how to use the discount.

They have a bar of Lavender Soap, in their line of product, that smells divine and even though I haven't used it yet (I'm still working on the couple of other bars she gave me to try!)... I'm sure it is of superb quality - just like the rest.

Meet Amanda, from Homegrown and Beeyouitful.    Stop by her blog and say Hello!  Tell her I sent you.  :)

Just spreading the Love of Lavender all around...tis all.
