Dear Valued Customers,

As the festive season is fast approaching we would like to advise you of our Christmas closure dates.

We will be closing at 12pm on Thursday 21st December 2017

And

Re-open for normal trading hours on Monday 8th January 2018

All the staff here at Range Products would like to thank you for your support throughout 2017 and wish you all a very merry Christmas and a Happy New year!

It is that time of the year again, that the coldness creeps in and the sunlight is less. We tend to get the sniffles, the aches or coughs. We want to snuggle up cosy in front of a fire with a nice warm cup of Hot Chocolate and our favourite movie. So if you have that fire going, before you add the next log, add a couple of drops of essential oils onto it, such as Ylang Ylang, Orange, Myrtle, Cypress or Frankincense and enjoy the aroma. If you don’t have a fire put a couple of either of the essential oils into a vapouriser, pot pourri, light bulb ring or as a room spray. And enjoy the smell of winter!!

Unfortunately with the cold and wet weather we seem to get more of the unwelcome visitors in our home. One of the best Essential Oils to use to repel mice is Peppermint Essential Oil, Spearmint may also work just as effectively too. Make a spritzer with 100 ml of water and 20 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil (you can also solubilise the oil first by using a solubiliser, mix 5 drops of polysorbate with the 20 drops of Peppermint essential oil first before adding to your water). Clean out your cupboards, then spray the cupboards with your home made spritzer, do not wipe off. Pack everything back in. You could also put Peppermint Essential Oil onto cotton wool balls in spots that you think mice are getting in. This will deter the mice from coming in without inhumanely killing them.

A Hot Compress could be just what you need, if your muscles are feeling tired and achy. Some essential oils that are great for Hot Compresses are Basil, Bergamot, Chamomile, Ginger, Rosemary, Lavender and Eucalyptus Essential Oils.

Below are three different ways you can make a Hot Compress.
Damp Compress – Heat up Water in a saucepan, add 3-4 drops of Essential Oil, then put in a clean cloth into the water. Swirl around, then take out using tongs. You may need to have gloves on if the water is quite hot, then squeeze out the excess water and put onto the area of your body that needs it. Leave on for 10 minutes then remove.

Microwave Heat Wrap – Put a clean dry cloth into a  microwavable plastic bag, leave the bag open while you are heating it up in the microwave. Once it is warm enough close the bag up, then wrap it up in another Clean Dry Cloth that you have put a couple of drops of Essential Oil onto, then you are able to put onto your aching body. Leave on for 10 minutes then remove.

Make a Rice Sock – Put a cup of dry uncooked rice into a small bowl and add 4-8 drops of essential oil and mix. Next get a clean dry sock and fill with the rice mix. Tie the top of the sock in a knot, then put into the microwave until it is at the desired temperature. Make sure it is not too hot before you put it onto your aching muscles. Leave on for 10 minutes then remove. The bonus of making the rice sock is that it is reuseable.

Hot compresses are good for aching and tired muscles, boils, ingrown hairs, acne or just for some soothing relaxing down time.

Creating your own scented drawer liners is a quick and easy DIY idea. It can also make a great gift idea, once you have finished them just roll them up and tie up with ribbon.

All you need to get started is either some wall paper or good quality wrapping paper.  Measure and cut the paper to size first. Then fill a small 100ml spray bottle with warm water to which you can add 50-100 drops (3-5ml) of your favourite scent. You can use any scents you like for example, Essential Oils such as Lavender, Geranium, Lemon or Frangipani, or you can use a fragrance oil, which comes in lots of different scents, such as Citrus Lime, Fabsoft, Gardenia, Green Tea, Lily of the Valley, Passionfruit, Powder Fresh, Seamist and White Musk just to name a few. Make sure you shake the bottle really well then spray all over the back of the paper, try not to saturate, let to dry before placing into the drawer. To stop the paper from moving just put a couple of strips of double sided tape on the bottom, to help keep it in position.

If you want a drawer liner that also helps to keep bugs like silverfish out of your drawers use Lavender or Eucalyptus Essential oils in your spray.

Making Melt & Pour soap is so easy, if you can melt butter you can make soap!

To start with place glycerine soap in a bowl placed over a saucepan with water on a rolling boil. The soap melts like butter over low heat (Do Not let soap heat over 70OC).  Stir constantly and remove from heat the moment half the soap has liquified and continue stirring whilst the rest of the soap liquifys.

Once the soap has melted, you can add food colourings, skin safe pigments or mycas, fragrances, emollients, hardeners and exfolients to the soap. Add a small amount at a time and stir gently to blend completely.

When you are satisfied with your soap, gently pour it into a mold. You can use jelly molds to form your soaps, or candy molds to create miniture guest soaps. A clean milk carton is great for making square soaps, or use a clean tuna can for a round soap. It’s amazing how many items around the house can be turned to good use as soap molds.

If there are bubbles on the top of your mold after pouring, they can be dispersed (Immediately after pouring, or else it will be too late) by spritzing with rubbing alcohol.

Leave the mold on the bench to allow the surface of the soap to skin over – maybe 10-15 mins. If you are in no hurry for your soap, the mold can be left overnight to harden, then gently invert the mold and wait for the soap to slide out. In a Hurry – Once the soap has formed a skin, and you can pick up the mold without spilling the soap, gently transfer the mold to the freezer. Freeze for an hour or so, then invert the mold and wait for the soap to slide out. If you have difficulty in getting the soap out of the mold, running hot water over the back of the mold for a few seconds may help. Freezing can also help in unmolding soap that has been left to set on the benchtop.

Be creative by adding decorations in your soap molds, the only limitation is your imagination!! Enjoy!!
