Hello, Cuteness!

Today I popped into Value Village to get myself a new (old) tea pot.  Isn’t she pretty?

My son then found two toy trucks that he just had to have – one is a super cool car carrier for his dinky cars, and the other was a fire truck. (He is currently in his bed sleeping with both trucks as I type this).

But the real fun began at the check-outs.  The shelves beside the cashier were loaded with these little glass bottles.  10 for 99 cents!!  What????  Have I died and gone to cute bottle heaven? 

The little chubby ones with the veggie cork stoppers will be perfect for creating blends during treatments.  It’s very important to mix essential oils in glass (plastic will absorb the aromatic molecules), and keeping the mix covered is also imperative.  Essential oils are very volatile and if I were to leave the mix uncovered for the entire duration of the treatment, a lot of the oil would simply evaporate. Currently, I am using tall shot glasses to create my mixes and an upside down plastic medicine cup as the cap.  (I use the plastic medicine cups to measure out my carrier oils).

 

 

There were also some larger jars that were clearly designed to hold (bath) salts!  See, they even have “SALT” printed right on them.   In English and French!

I may need to go back tomorrow and buy the rest of their stock.  There were some other styles available but I couldn’t really take a lot of time to browse as my son was eager to drive his trucks out the front door of the store.
