Tips and Suggestions for Creating Your Own Signature Blend

1. Do not let the number of oils to choose from intimidate you. There are several guides and ways that will help you make a confident choice.
   
   a) Choose scents which you already know and love. Chances are you will be happy with your choice.
   
   b) Refer to the Mood Chart. Choose which category suits you and then, to find out more information, look up the essential oil profile which meets that need.
   
   c) Choose a combination from the Popular Blends list.
   
   d) Have fun with it! Experiment. Enjoy yourself. Throw caution to the wind and play with the scents. Go on and fall in love with your own signature blend.
   
   
2. If this is your first time creating a blend, keep it simple. Don’t try to choose too many oils. Two to four is a good effective start.
   
   
3. Each fragrance has a particular note - top, middle or base. If you want to create a balance, a good rule of thumb is to choose one of each for your blend. This is only a guide. You can create a wonderful blend doing it your way.
   
   
4. Each essential oil has a “Blends Well With” category in the Essential Oil Profiles. Be sure to use this. If you are thinking of choosing oils which are not listed together, go ahead and try it. Your Body Needs will contact you if your order needs adjusting.
   
   
5. If you prefer one aroma to dominate in your blend, please write that down in the comment box at checkout.
   
   
6. Safety factor. The essential oils on the profiles list are safe and effective. Do pay attention to the cautions if they apply to you.
