Using Essential Oils in the Shower
I remember the first time I tried to use essential oils in the shower. I lived in a tiny apartment with no bath tub and a low-pressure shower that didn’t drain very well. I wanted to spruce up my somewhat sad showering experience, so I googled “how to use essential oils in the shower”.

Flea and Tick Repellent Spray for Dogs
