Essential oils–they’re the new must-haves for all things health and wellness, and they’re currently going through a major surge in popularity.

I’ve been using them myself for about 6 months now, for everything from aromatherapy to helping me keep a clean and healthy home to helping with sleeping and to help me keep the kids healthy.

I even use them to help me drink more water–a drop or two in a glass of water is delicious and so easy!

And, today, I’m sharing even more ways to use them! Today’s post, 30 creative and crafty ways to use essential oils, is the perfect way to merge a love of crafting with an interest in you and your family’s health.
