    Essential Oils Question

    You sound just like my husband. lol To me, the proof is in the pudding. I don't know if I believe ALL that I see on the oils but what I have seen makes me want to give it a shot. If it works for me, my hubby is in whether he likes it or not. lol (as I am sure you are with your girlfriend, haha)

    Essential Oils Question

    Thanks @JoesMum! I just had to check if there was any "direct" knowledge on this topic. Do you think if I were to have it in another room (a couple of rooms away from them) so it wasn't directly by them, that would be sufficient? If I gave it a try, how would I know if they didn't like it or it...
