Essential Oils and CBD 101 (A Make and Take Class) 

Maybe you’ve been hearing about essential oils, including CBD oil, and are curious, or maybe you just like finding ways to make gifts for others and to make things for your own use at home.  Learn about essential oils, how they’re made, and all the ways they can be used, from making our houses smell good to replacing health and beauty products (and less expensive, too!) to supporting our physical and emotional health. And, since CBD is an essential oil in its own right, we’ll give you the skinny on that, too. You’ll get to make a couple goodies, along with the recipes to make more.  These are easy to make and are great to use yourself and to give as gifts for teachers, friends, family…  We’ll be making sugar scrubs (for that winter dry skin) and room/linen sprays.
