Hi Mustache community! Over the past two years I've noticed essential oil diffusers everywhere! I wondered--how did this become a thing? Was everyone shipped a cute, bulbous, steam-streaming appliance and I missed the shipment? They are called "essential" oils: how come I've never heard of them if they're so essential? What am I missing out on? I want some of these oils!
Come to find out there's a couple of scammy MLMs associated with essential oils, and I am a mom affiliated with a church, which means I am the target audience of such MLMs. Fortunately I never go to stupid MLM parties and have thus far escaped purchasing weird shrink wrap thingies for my fingernails, jewelry made in countries with horrible economies, cookware that I could by at TJ Maxx for 1/4 the price, sugar-laden nutritious milkshakes, bold-printed leggings, and countless other exciting products/"business opportunities" living in various misguided friends' garages.
But I digress. The thing is, I like these yummy smelling oils. I was a hippy once and I miss my patchouli. Incense was always kinda unappealing because of the smoke-y ash-y thing, but the oil steam is so pleasant! They say it cures all manner of ailments but I'm pretty sure that's a sad claim for the gullible and the desperate. Still, I wouldn't mind if my house smelled of frankincense once in a while.
My husband says they should be called "optional" oils. What say you, Mustache community? Is there a way to hack the essential oil thing?
