I have a secret. I love to read. I love to read all kinds of books but that isn’t my secret. My secret is that I adore children’s romance/ fairy tales. There is a certain predictability in that the hero or heroine will win and I close the book with a happy sigh. The book I am currently reading is called Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede. It is a delightful book about an unconventional princess who runs away from home to become a dragon’s princess. I have enjoyed this book so much that as soon as I have rushed through the house starting laundry, dishes and doing a quick pick up, I sit down in my over-sized arm chair and read.
I have found that there are some nights where you just need to do something deeply satisfying, something that feeds your soul. For me that means reading a book or making a bracelet or taking a bubble bath. One thing that I find is a powerful contributor to an evening of calm is scent. Today I wanted to share making a room spray using one of my favorite fragrance oils and our Spray Clear Emulsifier!
The spray we are making today in intend to be lightly scented. It is intended to create an aura of calm. You can always make a perfume or cologne but these products have higher usage rates of fragrance. These are wonderful products but I personally don’t think they are suitable to creating a zen area. This room spray is soft and not in your face. I would be comfortable spraying this just before bedtime.

Recipe:
Recipe in Grams 3.4 g Juicy Pear Fragrance Oil 6.8 g Spray Clear Emulsifier 340.0 g Water |
Recipe in Ounces 0.12 oz Juicy Pear Fragrance Oil 0.24 oz Spray Clear Emulsifier 12 oz Water |

Weigh the fragrance oil and Spray Clear Emulsifier into a container. Mix well and allow to sit for 5-15 minutes. Add room temperature water. (Hot water is more likely to create a cloudy spray.) Mix well. The product will be cloudy for a minute or two but it will clear out momentarily. If it does not clear out quickly, allow the mixture to sit for several days. The cloudy material will either sink to the bottom or rise to the surface. Decant the clear material and put into your spray bottle. Label and spritz!
This spray sounds like it would smell so lovely =) It was AWESOME to see your team this week at the Soap Guild conference =)

I had so much fun at the HSCG conference. It was great to meet people and get new ideas!
