Pumpkin Mummification

Tips for a longer lasting pumpkin!

Add 1 teaspoon of Thieves Household Cleaner per gallon of water. Soak pumpkin in water 1-2 hours.
Brush vinegar and Lemon EO on the outside of pumpkin (add 2 tablespoons white vinegar and 15 drops Lemon EO to a quart of water).
Rub Animal Scents Ointment on the inside and carved parts of pumpkin to keep the insides from drying out.
Coat the inside with olive oil to prevent shriveling.
Keep out of direct sunlight and move to basement, garage, or other cool area if it’s going to be very warm.

Grandma’s Pumpkin Pie Room Spray

10 drops Cinnamon Bark EO

7 drops Nutmeg EO

7 drops Ginger EO

7 drops Clove EO

7 drops Orange EO

3 drops Cardamon EO

Fill the rest with distilled water. Shake well before each use.

Pumpkin Harvest Cheesecake Dip

1 – 8oz cream cheese, softened

1 – 16oz jar pumpkin butter

1/8 C Yacon Syrup

1/3 C Blue Agave (or 1/4 cup sugar)

1/4 t. vanilla

1 – 8oz tub whipped topping, thawed

1-2 drops Cinnamon Bark EO

1-2 drops Ginger EO

1-2 drops Nutmeg EO

1 ‘toothpick’ of Clove EO

Mix cream cheese in medium size bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add pumpkin butter, sugar, and vanilla & mix on medium speed until well blended. Gently stir in whipped topping and essential oils. Refrigerate until serving.

Batty Over You Moisturizing Hand Soap

½ cup distilled water

¼ cup unscented castile soap

2 tbs sweet almond oil

1 tsp guar gum

15 drops Light Your Fire EO

Measure sweet almond oil and put in a small bowl. Stir in the guar gum until it is an even consistency. This is an important step: guar gum mixes really well with oil, but not so much with water or castile soap. So if you simply mix everything together at once, you’ll end up with a chunky mess. Mix the water, castile soap, and essential oils together. Add in the carrier oil with the guar gum and continue stirring. After a minute or so, you should notice the mixture thicken considerably into a gel. Pour into hand soap container.
