I Finally Got It Done!

You are probably wondering what the heck my title of this post is talking about. Well, a while back, I talked about making little roller bottles full of oils for my kids to use every morning and night. That is it. I finally got them done today! 
So here is what I put in them. I am thinking maybe next time not using so many oils, but for this first time, I wanted to cover my bases! So each of my children have one that say their name and the word AM or PM on it. On their morning bottles, it has Frankincense and Peppermint to help them get up, feel refreshed and awake for the day. Then I put in OnGuard to help boost their immune system. Balance and Elevation to help keep a stable grounding and make them happier. Then in their night bottles, they each have both Lavender and Serenity (I like the way Serenity smells more than Lavender, and next time I won't use both, just pick one). Then in my older daughter Abby's bottle, she has some Purify in there. She has Molluscum warts all over her body caused by dry skin. It spreads easily as well. So we have lotion that we put on her every night and that seems to be helping a little bit. So the Purify is to try to get rid of this virus or whatever that is in her body. I'm hoping to see a difference and can't wait for them to be gone. She is very self-conscious about them. 
I got the little bottles HERE. They are pretty inexpensive and a great way to spread the oils around. They have this small size, which is what I used for my kids. Then they also have a bigger size which is 1/3 oz 10 mil size. I made one bottle for my husband and I to share for night time just with Serenity in it and used the larger bottle. I could have my kids all share their bottles, but then I could just see the fights begin. So I made each of them their own bottle so they feel a little more special. The oils are antibacterial and so germs will not spread if more than one person uses the bottle though.
Sorry for the horrible picture! I couldn't find my camera and had to use my phone. That picture was the best I could get! And yes, I do have a shelf just for nail polishes. There are 4 girls in my little house! :)

What an awesome idea! Are all the first oils you mentioned in one bottle (for a.m.)? If so is it just one drop of each? Since I'm still in basics of using oils I don't mix too many yet

No, since the bottles are 5-10mL, I actually did like 10-20 drops of most of them. You can mix and match all you want. Be wise in what you are doing though because sometimes one oil is all you need. For that reason, I was going to maybe try it differently next time. I am just going to see how my kids react to these oils first. I hope that makes sense.

Thanks! I can't wait to buy these bottles and do this myself - then I'll have no reason to not use the oils since it'll be ready to use already and convenient!

Looks awesome! I want to do it too!! Maybe I'll wait and see what happens with yours and then copy!

I got my bottles in and put the Digestive Zen oil in it. After every feeding we roll a bit on our baby's feet and it def has made a diff! He doesn't really have problems with gas now except at night when I sometimes forget to put on the oil since I'm so tired. So glad you posted this idea!

I have another question:) In your post you said you rubbed the peppermint, oil blend on your kid's feet first then you put on the onguard. Did you just wait for the peppermint blend to dry before applying the onguard? Or was there a set amount of time before applying the onguard? I see that you didn't combine the 2 blends in one container so want to make sure I apply mine correctly as you did!
