October’s colorful oils order was all about red. And tangerine. And orange too!
Ok, not really – I’m just amusing myself by the realization that I ordered Ningxia Red (not an oil, but a drink), and tangerine oil. And I got orange oil as a freebie, along with clove and nutmeg. So I did have red, tangerine, and orange in this order.
Ningxia Red has been an acquired taste for me. I still don’t love it, but I can tolerate it, and I do seem to have more energy on days when I have it in the morning. I’ve found it’s most tolerable when it’s COLD, and then followed by grape juice. I heard some recommendations to add a drop of lemon oil to it, but I found that to be completely disgusting so that’s not something I’m going to continue. 
Tangerine has been on my list of oils to try and it got picked this month because it was the right amount to fill out my order total. Why yes, that is one of my considerations when I’m finishing off an order.
I’m happy to receive the orange, clove, and nutmeg as freebies – I’m imagining some delicious diffusing in my future, with lots of great fall smells!
As always, I’m not a doctor and this is not medical advice. I’m just talking about what I’m ordering and using for myself and my family.
