Citrus Bliss!

This week, we treated our noses to the delightful scents of Lemon, and Lime! 
We tested the claim that citrus oils are invigorating and bring a joyful mood.  What a room full of happy people we were!
We started our discussion with a worksheet on all the ways that Lemon Essential Oil can benefit us every day.  We can add it to our tap water to cleanse the impurities, we can add it to the washing machine to freshen a stinky mildew smell.  Freshen our toothbrushes, dissolve sticky residues, and even cook with it!   Lime has similar uses, and we talked about how it freshens the air wonderfully.  (Mollie had several ideas for how to use Lime to make her brothers smell more pleasant) ha!  

Teacher Liesl had us try a guacamole recipe that called for a few drops of Lime Essential Oil.  Delightful!  (and delicious)  Each student participated in preparing the guacamole, and then we all enjoyed eating it with corn chips.  Yummy!   If you didn't get a chance to taste our guacamole with lime, we're sorry-there wasn't even a drop left over.  Maybe your student can share the recipe with you at home.
