Batavia

My walks with Shadow make me explore so many parts of Pardubice! This area is what I call "our shortcut" haha. It has a store, Batavia, which I was always so curious to explore. I brought another hockey wife along for sampling of essential oils!! I'm thankful I didn't go alone because everything in the store was Czech including the scents and sales associate. On top of that, it was more fun!!

This is the store.

We sampled so many different bottles it's crazy. Essential oils are great and useful for all kinds of things including calming your pet!! HA! I started my obsession for essential oils a while back while listening to Padma Lakshmi (love her) talk about it. The rest is history...

So, here is how I use them...!
~Lavender; on your pillow or massage under your feet to calm yourself
~Lotus or the scent of your choice; for acne & wrinkles
~I love so many either alone or mixed together; on my wrist & chest
*Rose, Lotus, Orange, Tropical, Aqua, Lilly White, Grape, etc...
~Tea Tree; a few drops into boiling water for deep facial cleansing treatment (steam face)
~Eucalyptus; helps cough, cold, muscle & joint pain
~Citronella; mosquito repellent
Hope you enjoyed this post ~ Happy Wednesday!

Does citronella work against other insects? Like flies, spiders?
