Purple, My workmates did hold a lunch/shower for me and another girl who is also pregnant at 33 weeks which was lovely.
Cian has finally gone head down but is not engaged yet. Im eating ice like its some sort of addiction, so weird I just cant get enough.
Anyone familiar with essential oils? Trying to find out if one carrier oil is better than another for clary sage and rose oil..
Carriers oils that are good are jojoba oil and coconut oil :)Quote:

Coconut oil (the one solid at room temperature) is comedogenic- means it clogs pores. I would use Jojoba oil which mimics sebum produced by skin- it is considered low on the comedogenic scale.

Plus, you want something that will better assist the absorption of the essential oil into the skin- like Jojoba oil. Coconut oil (the one solid at room temperature) is more occlusive, meaning it will create a barrier on the skin allowing more of the essential oil to rub off since it will not penetrate the skin as quickly.

If you prefer to use coconut oil, I would use MCT coconut oil (liquid at room temperature). It has a great fatty acid profile that absorbs into the skin quickly allowing a greater amount of essential oils mixed with it to penetrate the skin. Plus it is non-comedogenic (will not clog pores).

Yes Clary sage is supposed to stimulate the cervix for contractions :)Quote:
