You can absolutely add some essential oils.
Hi,
I just stumbled upon your site – I’m at work researching companies in the defense industry – and somehow I got side-tracked into your site! Anyway, this blog looks great and I will spend more time reading additional posts later. I can’t wait to try some of these recipes!!

Glad you found NurtureNature! I visited your site and your photography is sublime! Really stunning.
Hi! I just made the Dark Circle Night Cream and because it didn’t blend terribly well, I’m wondering if the green teas leaves should have been boiled first. Boy, I hope this isn’t a “DUH!” situation!
