1. Yes, that is what that is, AZDem....cute one, too.
I put water in mine, light the candle, and put a few drops of good quality essential oils in for natural room/mood fresheners.

I like Pine, Lemon, Orange, YlangYlang, Rose, and Geranium in mine.

(not all at the same time....:D)

3. it is sweet with the candle lit, it's like almost a drum skin in front so
the light is very nice from the candle

where can I get the oils for it? in one of those tonie bath shops? a metaphysical book store? I've never really used EOs here in AZ

and yes we got rain and the temps were in the mid 80's by late afternoon. It was very cloudy this morning but has cleared off now (mostly)

4. Maybe a natural food store....Trader Joe's or Wild Oats???
or a metaphysical store would have them...or an herb shop maybe....on .line too no doubt.

Let me know if you don't find any...I know where I can get 'em here...:)

Is the front of it a skin that's stretched? Its really cute.


Clouds...boomings...cool breezes...rain as close as the mt behind me...I can smell it too...Flag got clobbered. Have a friend coming down for a Dept of Peace gathering shortly...hope it rains before then- if its gonna...like the weather here would cooperate. LOL

5. yes the front is a strecthed skin and the little "leaves" are a polymer
type stuff

it really is cunning and cute

I'll check Sprouts next time I'm there, they have a large "health" dept

If not there's a metaphysical bookstore just up the road from the shop that would probably have them

this will be fun and help with the "doggy" smell a bunch I bet :blush:

70 degrees and raining in the desert. You can't get any closer to heaven than that and still be alive!

7. Make sure you're using essential oils
Many stores sell blended oils, but for use in a burner like you have you need to use pure essential oils.

I'm sure you can find a nice variety of oils at Gentle Strength Co-op in Tempe, and I think Whole Foods has two stores in the Valley now.

Stay cool!

My favorite blends to use in the burner are: geranium/lavender for mental clarity; patchouli/sweet orange for mood; lemon/eucalyptus for breathing.

8. Very nice!
I have several diffusers which I hardly ever use any more. I used to love them, when I could smell the fragrance, though. After the accident that damaged my olfactory nerves, I haven't used them much. It is frustrating to spend time and resources on something you can't smell.

I have to say that I've experimented and found that you don't have to smell the fragrance to experience the essence of the oils used, though.
