You’ll need an essential oil diffuser, or you can boil water and add the oils to the water. If you are in need of essential oils, I get mine from https://www.earthboundtrading.com/, https://artnaturals.com/ and https://www.rockymountainoils.com/, but you can find them anywhere.
I hope these recipes help you get through finals! You can do it. Only a few more weeks, and then you can relax for the summer. Good luck Racers! Happy Finals Week!
