After getting all of my wood surfaces clean with the Orange Oil Wood Cleaner, I wanted to get some much-needed moisture into that wood with some conditioning oil. Like the first time I tried creating my own cleaner, my requirements were pretty simple. It needed to be effective at conditioning the wood, and it needed to smell good.

Orange Wood Conditioning Oil Recipe - Do It Yourself, DIY recipe, Make your own conditioner

To make the base of my Orange Oil Wood Conditioner, I chose almond oil. Almond oil is known to be a wonderful non-toxic wood conditioning oil appropriate for finishing eating vessels made of wood. So I’m pretty sure it is safe for my furniture! To make the almond oil smell amazing, I added Orange Essential Oil. Orange Essential Oil has the added benefit of antiseptic properties and potential mood lifting properties. And no wonder — after cleaning all the wood with the Orange Oil Cleaner and conditioning all the wood with this recipe, the whole house smells like summer!

Orange Oil Wood Conditioner Recipe

2 Ounces (1/4 Cup) Almond Oil

10 Drops Orange Essential Oil

Pour into storage jar and shake to blend well. Use tiny amounts on a cloth to condition wood. Test in an inconspicuous place first.

(If you want to add just a tiny bit of cleaning power to this recipe, you can add 1 TBSP vinegar and shake well.)

Again – if you really like the smell of LEMON in your wood conditioner, you can substitute Lemon Essential Oil instead, which is similar in antiseptic use and possible mood lifting effects.

PLEASE: Test this and all other chemical mixes in an inconspicuous place on your wood finish before applying in large amounts. Your results may vary.

As with all citrus oils, these oils can be phototoxic and should not be used by small children or applied to the skin before going out in the sun. 

NOTE: I order all of my essential oils from Rocky Mountain Oils. They ship for FREE and are of the highest quality without requiring any MLM participation or markup. You are going to love these essential oils!

    Does this work well on butcher block countertops as well?

      I’ve never had a butcher block countertop before, I’m not sure how they are made or how this would work?

Our Latest Shenanigans

See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I See these pretty little plants playing peekaboo? I thought they were goners. See, my sister gave us the bulbs for Asiatic Lillies for Christmas last year, down in a bag full of dirt and told us to take them home and plant them in the cold so they would rest and come back next year. Or freeze them. I did neither. I knew we weren’t in our own home yet, and we were hoping to move into our forever home this summer, so I threw them in the closet and waited. They stayed dormant, and started to develop roots in the Spring, still in the bag in my closet. Come June 5, we moved into our new house, and I pulled out the bag around June 15 to plant them and found that the roots were turning to mush. The bulbs were starting to rot. I planted them anyway, but to make matters worse, I accidentally planted them upside down because I thought the roots were actually sprouts. Oops. Then, I hired my boys and their friends to weed the bed where these are planted and forgot to tell them to leave these alone. The “sprouts” disappeared. I thought they were gone forever. Here it is the middle of August, and a week or so ago, I found these baby Asiatic Lillies coming up. I texted a pic to my sis to ask if this was what they look like. Sure enough after all that trauma, this gift survived. I won’t have blooms this year, but I’m told they will come back next year and survive to bloom. What a sweet blessing that will be, God willing. And a sweet reminder to persevere under trials and hardship. God is doing something bigger, something hidden, something better than we can ever imagine. Hang in there! #momlife #momfierce #momforthewin #firmlyplanted
Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff Today I’ve been sorting through some heavy stuff, especially the unmasking of pedophilia and it’s prominence in the US and in our backyards. This horrifies and frightens me. I am so grateful to know that God will prevail. In the end, He wins. Everything seems so dark here in the US and it’s because of the spiritual forces of evil — but I know God will prevail. His love never fails. I’m putting my hope in this truth. #loveneverfails #godwins #godisgreater #momlife #momfierce

There are so many things I need to tell you about There are so many things I need to tell you about this picture. First #sheisloved campaign with @mercyhouseglobal and sheispriceless.org - check that out it’s important. Second - that cute bracelet came from @mercyhouseglobal about a month ago and *didn’t fit*. Today it’s loose enough to twist. I haven’t lost a lot of pounds according to the scale — I kinda stalled out three or four weeks ago at 17 pounds lost — but apparently I’m losing fat. That’s a victory. Third, my hands look like my moms and will some day look like my grandmas. I consider that a blessing.  Finally, it’s been a beautiful day😍 but I’m kinda sad it took me this long to find a red marker and share the love. If you have one handy, it’s not too late to jump on board with @wearethatfamily and be a world-changer! #worldchanger #momfierce #prayformoms #especiallyteenmomsinkenya #mymomrocks
