When one is mixing one's own scents with essential oils, can you just mix drops together until you get the proportion to your liking? Or do you have to add anything else to make them play nicely together, some sort of binding agent or something?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Anyway, she used to see Ludacris sometimes when they would go out to events for his work and she said that he is tiny.
Yeah, he seems pretty little.
In other TV news, I'm watching L&O:CI from the other day, and I heard a trace of a familar accent from Logan's new partner -- turns out, she grew up in Medford, Mass! Damn, I'm good.

And now off to Bloomies, hopefully for boots. And perfume. Maybe perfumed boots?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe they're just not black in LA. Or something. But definitely different on my LCD--I can see the fading patches too. Uniform black on my CRT.

I think a trend is blue/black demin, maybe it's that.
Okay, my iPod is making me crazy. The b&w charge button is on, but it keeps fading from my screen. It should be charged anyway...it was hooked up to my computer all afternoon. I'm jsut going to leave it for a while and let it charge.

Sue, my daughter's mini used to do that. When it happened she had to charge it using an electrical outlet not the computer and then it was all good.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
When one is mixing one's own scents with essential oils, can you just mix drops together until you get the proportion to your liking? Or do you have to add anything else to make them play nicely together, some sort of binding agent or something?
I just mix the essential oils. But then I have to be very careful to use the barest, tiniest smidge of a drop, or else I'm that person we've all been talking about whose scent is so strong that you can smell it for an hour after they've left the building.
That's why it can help to mix the essential oils in an unscented carrier oil, like almond or jojoba (basically whatever is in the bath stuff aisle of the store and labelled "body oil" will work). And some undiluted essential oils can be too harsh on skin, so, again, mixing them in a carrier oil is a good thing. I've never had the skin irritation problem with my homemade mix, though.
