Can't wait? Try owner Persephenie's healthy recipes, made specially for VJ readers:

To banish stress...
Recipe: 1 drop lavender + 1 drop orange oil
Method: Put one drop of each on your pillow before you go to sleep. "Lavender is relaxing, and orange adds freshness: It's a cozy combination," says Persephenie.

For more romance...
Recipe: 5 to 8 drops rose + 1 drop patchouli
Method: Fill the bath, then swirl in the oils. "Rose is a natural heart-opener, and patchouli is sexy and earthy," says Persephenie.

To smooth away cellulite...
Recipe: 8 drops grapefruit + 8 drops rosemary + 2 oz. unscented massage oil
Method: Combine the oils, and massage into areas of cellulite. "This helps break up congestion in the body that contributes to cellulite," explains Persephenie.

Measurements are approximate within a few drops. So it's okay if you make a little blunda.
