signum3081 said...

Yay for these products!! My absolute FAVE essential oil is patchoili. I ADORE it!!

leah said...

My favourite seems to be lavender- I find myself putting it in everything from body scrubs to face oils. I use it for its versatility and its aromatherapy properties (amd the relatively inexpensive price!). :)

Jen O said...

I love lavendar! I have so many different products scented in lavendar. I love it THAT much!

emily said...

hmmm...this is a deal breaker between tea tree oil and cinnamon. tea tree for it's versatility and cinnamon for putting on my lips to make them plump! Now if only there were a chocolate oil?! :)

VixedVegans said...

Rose Geranium :)

Jen said...

This is an awesome giveway. I absolutely love your site and you and philip. You guys are amazing! My favorite essential oils are a tie between peppermint and sweet orange they both make me feel amazing!

Jill said...

Since I just attended a weekend essential oil/ayurveda/meditation retreat in Sedona this weekend, my favorite essential oil is Champa Attar! thank you for the giveaway, good luck to everyone :)

jill said...

I tried to post this on Philips website bit it has been spinning for over 2 hours.This is a tuff question. I am a massage therapist and I make my own massage oils. I use only Young Living Oils. I also teach for CARE (center for AromaTherapy Research and Education). So I have lots of knowledge in the chemistry of oils. So with that said I can see why Heather likes Rose, it vibrates at 320 MHZ! I would have to say my favorite is also peppermint for an all day kind of oil. I am addicted to it. But as an massage oil I like Copaiba oil. Most of my clients dont like heavy smells so this one is perfect for a lite smell, pain relieving, great for skin and has a smooth heavenly glide. This oil is alos RAW! The Copaiba tree is tapped like a maple tree is when getting syrup. The oil is bottled as is, no processing at all. Sorry for the long letter. Hard topic not to write a book about.

Hugs
Jill

My favorite oil is Lavender, I use Young Living oils and I trust them. The Lavender is a warm bath is very relaxing. My 2nd oil is Peppermint, I use this one in My raw chocolate. Also peppermint helps clear the nose and rubbed on the back of your neck on a long drive helps keep you awake.

Cindy said...

I LOVE Sandalwood and Patchouli, my recent new fav is orange.

Anonymous said...

I have a soft spot for Frankincense because it holds a special place in my family traditions with my older, female relatives.

On day-to-day, I love citrus, cinnamon, mint, lavendar --hard to pick a fave there! ;)

Peace~

Kay said...

honestly, i don't actually use essential oils directly. i like the natural smell of the beauty/bath products i buy. but then again, i also don't really buy anything more than baking soda, coconut oil, and dr. bronners. BUT since this is a CONTEST and i am COMPETITIVE, i am going to go with coconut 'cause that's the strongest scent i usually smell/end up smelling like. it's calming and comforting, yet invigorating all at the same time! ;) yay coconut!

Raw In Syracuse said...

Another awesome giveaway! Your chocolates look divine!!!! My favorite Essential Oil is Chamomile for relaxation or Grapefruit for energy/invigoration. Depends on what I need :) Thanks for posting such wonderful contests!!!

CoachKimberKay said...

Peppermint and coconut oils are my favorite!!!

KristinS said...

It's got to be Sweet Orange. My close second is lemon. There's nothing so uplifting than those!

chaunceypants said...

geranium!

My favorite oil would have to Neroli (aka Orange Blossom). I live in FL, and that smell reminds me of growing up surrounded by orange groves, picking oranges, tangerines, and grapefruits with my grandparents, mom, and cousins...very nostalgiac for me, and in the best possible way! I love it!

Cole said...

Hmmm...definitely peppermint. Or tea tree oil!

Holly said...

Peppermint is my yummy favorite!

Michelle said...

JOY! its actually a blend of: bergamot, ylang ylang, geranium, rosewood, lemon, mandarin, jasmine, roman chamomile, palmarosa, and rose. SOOOOO uplifiting!! i put it on every morning and spread the JOY all day. =)

shannonmarie said...

Wow. There's a big response to this one. I like so many that it's difficult to pick just one. Of course, I love vanilla (it's an unbaking thing, right?), but I especially like the freshness of citrus, especially grapefruit.

Lauren said...

I love a mix of vanilla and lavendar. I like to call it vanilendar. Or Lavendilla. Or "mmmmm" haha :)
