But I'm So Cute!

But I'm So Cute!
By Cheryl L. McClure

I’d like to share about Thieves and Purification, two of my favorite essential oils. You could say these are man’s best friend.

We have this thing about living in the country. We love it, but don’t love the fragrance that surrounds us when skunks spray!! 

Now, Chester, our energetic dog, whom we love with all our hearts, is pretty intense about finding other animals. In fact he makes a pretty good mouser but he hasn’t learned his lesson about skunks because he still insists on chasing them if he sees one or smells one.

Yes, these pictures were taken at the ranch.
Let's see how close we can get without getting sprayed by the skunk! LOL. Thank goodness for the zoom lens. 

One time he had wandered off and chased down a skunk only to come back and stink up the entire front porch of the cabin. It was really pretty funny because Jan Paul called me that day and asked me where my special spray was. I had already made up the spray using Purification and purified water in a small spray bottle. I use it to spray on my clothes when I go for a walk too. It makes for a more pleasant, carefree experience outside.
​

Anyway, Jan Paul went out and sprayed the front porch a few times AND the dog. It knocked out the smell on the porch and if my memory serves me, the dog smelled much better too. Not to say that he didn’t need to wash the dog, but it was enough to clear it up and make it bearable to get him a bath!

Another time, we found a dead skunk in one of the barns. It had been there for a few days and it was REALLY repulsive. This called for the big guns - I mean more drops to make sure that there was NO smell to gag Jan Paul when he went out to remove it. It was bad. How bad? Oh, it was B - A - D. I’m not as sensitive as Jan Paul and it gagged me, so I took care of the smell so that he could get rid of the dead skunk. I’m telling you, I added about 20 drops into my bottle and sprayed about 4 oz of it on and around the dead skunk. It worked well enough so that he could breathe and get it out of there. The following day you would not have known what had transpired the day before. 

Purification is well liked for it’s fresh and clean smell anyway so it can be used in in your diffuser or spray bottle. It is a blend of the oils Citronella, Lavandin, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Myrtle, and Tea Tree.

You could make up your concoction and put a cute label on it.  It’s a good idea to know what’s in your spray bottle and sometimes I write the list of ingredients so I will be able to duplicate it when empty.

Just think of all the possibilities where you could use this spray! I’d say, um, anywhere the smell is just not right!!

I also carry Thieves spray in my purse ALL THE TIME. You can find it here already mixed> bit.ly/1MoCNCM or you could make your own.

You never know when you might need to spray it in the car to freshen up the air. We have driven across country several times and you don’t even have to do that to run into an area that is stinky. It could be a dead skunk on the road or a sewer plant or sometimes you don’t know where it came from but it’s enough to choke a person. I shut off the outside air and get out the spray. Usually one squirt is all it takes in the car/truck and the smell is eaten up! 

Thieves spray is also good to have on hand if you need to sanitize your hands. It’s a good all around spray. And like I said in the beginning.... 

If you haven’t tried Purification or Thieves yet, I encourage you to add them to your collection of good oils for a good life!
