    Lavender for all around use. So soothing!
    Tea tree for its medicinal properties.

    Depends on what season it is, LOL. I use the oil in my vinegar and water spray I use to clean the kitchen counters with daily clean up (non meat spills) I use a couple of drops per spray bottle to cover the vinegar smell, I like Liliac in the spring, Lavender in the summer, Cinnamon roll is one of the ones I use in the fall and winter, that time a year I mix and try new ones.

    Pure sandalwood is my absolute favorite smell! It calms me when I wear it.

    Some of the most useful essential oils for me and my family, hmm. Eucalyptus in the winter, especially during any cold, lavender for stress, headache, general use, orange for cleaning and fragrance, clove oil has helped me through a toothache, and tea tree is used often. Citronella for mosquitos. I'm sorry if I was supposed to list only one! (: But I love essential oils.

    Peppermint is my favorite! Especially for cleaning the bathroom.

    Lavender! But I use pine, cinnamon, orange, peppermint, and eucalyptus. It depends on the season. I also mix my own cleaners.

    I like so many, but if I had to choose, I'd say lavender. I also grow a ton of it in my yard.

    I love lavendar and ylang ylang. I would really like to find where I can get alot of the essential oils at for pretty cheap.

    I also dig sandalwood, it's so calming.
