ambsamuel:
We LOVE the smell of Christmas!! So we're excited to share with you these 5 non-toxic, all-natural ways to make your home smell like Christmas all season long.

https://gonaturetoday.com/top-5-essential-oils-for-christmas-that-will-make-your-home/?fbclid=IwAR0BxRONIujPUN9SCKsOoAJlc40-HZnZt9BT5f-FtVD8SIeXhHe8cJARnps
.

1. Lavender

The Romans used lavender oil for bathing, cooking and purifying the air.
Lavender essential oil is great for soothing you when you’re stressed,
calming down crazy kiddos and helping you ease into peaceful sleep.
But did you also know it’s great for burns? And that it soothes irritated
skin? It even takes the sting out of bug bites and makes for some great
head/neck tension relief.

Ways to Use …

Add 5 to 8 drops (depending on your preference) to 2 oz. of water
in a mini spray bottle and spritz on pillows and linens before bed.
Mix 2 drops each lavender and frankincense in 1 tablespoon
coconut oil and apply to temples to take away head/neck tension
and relieve stress.
Apply neat (undiluted) to fresh cuts, scrapes and wounds to speed
healing and kill bacteria.
Add 5 drops to a homemade cleaner for antibacterial properties.
Diffuse 5 drops in your house to promote peace and calm.
Add 2 to 3 drops to one cup of epsom salts and stir into a hot bath
for extra relaxation.

2. Eucalyptus

Eucalyptus is a fast-growing evergreen tree native to Australia. As an
ingredient in many products, Eucalyptus essential oil is antimicrobial
and makes a wonderful addition to any homemade cleaning recipe. It’s
also used as an expectorant and can be diffused in the air for
respiratory issues.

Ways to Use …

Add 10 drops of eucalyptus essential oil, 2 tablespoons of liquid
castile soap and hot water to the mop bucket to clean your floor.
Add 2 to 3 drops eucalyptus to 1 tablespoon coconut oil and rub
into your chest when you have a cold.
Add 5 drops to your diffuser to clean and freshen the air.
Add 5 drops each of eucalyptus and tea tree oil to a 16 oz. glass
spray bottle full of water and spray down your shower after each
use to inhibit mold growth.
Mix 3 to 4 drops into your pet’s shampoo to keep away fleas.

3. Lemon

Lemon is the ultimate essential oils for Christmas dehumidifier, popular because of their refreshing
scent and invigorating, purifying and cleaning properties. Not only will it
get the gunk off of your dishes and surfaces, but if you’ve got a
congested chest or gunky throat, it will take care of that as well.

Ways to Use …

Add 1 drop to 1 teaspoon of honey to soothe a dry or sore throat.
Diffuse 5 drops in a room to kill nasty odors and to lift your mood.
Apply 1 to 2 drops neat to remove sticky residue (either from your
hands or surfaces).
Use 3 to 5 drops neat to remove gum from fabric (or hair).
Mix 5 drops with 4 oz. unscented liquid dish soap for extra greasecutting
action.
Apply topically with caution if you’re putting it on skin that will be
exposed to the sun – it may cause sensitivity.

4. Peppermint

Peppermint is a good essential oils for Christmas to help relieve nausea, increase energy and
ease headaches.

Ways to Use …

Apply 1 drop to temples and forehead to relieve pain. Don’t get it
in your eyes. Trust me.
Add 5 to 7 drops to a 16 oz. glass spray bottle of water and use as
a cooling spritz when it’s hot out.
Inhale deeply from the bottle to relieve nausea.
Apply 1 to 2 drops to the bottoms of feet to reduce fevers.
Add 5 to 7 drops to a 16 oz. glass spray bottle full of water and
spray around molding to keep pests out.
Combine lavender and peppermint to make this super simple balm.
Don’t get it in your eyes!

5. Tea Tree

Tea tree is a must essential oil for Christmas in any home. Its germ-destroying,
purifying properties make it a powerful addition to homemade
cleaners. And its skin-soothing properties work wonders on rashes.

Ways to Use …

Apply 1 to 2 drops neat around the base of the ear to treat ear
infections naturally. (This is the only reason I’ll use it on my kids,
otherwise I keep it out of their reach – make sure they do not
ingest it.)
Apply 1 drop neat on skin rashes to stop itching.
Add 1 to 2 drops to your homemade shampoo and hair rinse.
Add 5 drops to cleaning spray recipes to help kill germs.
Apply 2 to 3 drops diluted in 1 tablespoon coconut oil to toes and
feet twice a day to stop athlete’s foot.

AfroKnight:
You are someone who teaches about making money, yet you surprisingly omitted a strong factor in relationships, especially in these climes.

Sufficient money is important.

Who determines if the money is sufficient? The person who is often on the receiving end of said money.

If relationship is a cake, sufficient money + commitment is the bread, love is the icing.
You are on point!
RomanceCan A Relationship Survive On Love Alone? by wakes(op): 9:00am On Nov 21, 2019
It takes more than love to have a buoyant relationship.
I'm sure you are wondering what I am referring to here.

Look, the truth of the matter is that love only works when it is combined
with a bunch of other factors
to make it grow; like respect, humility,
compatibility and commitment.

Relationships based on the feelings of love alone crumble,
because love can't stand on its own, and love does not always equal happily ever after.

So add to the love RESPECT, HUMILITY and COMMITMENT among other things.

You shall enjoy your relationship in Jesus name.

Blessings!
PropertiesAdvice Needed: He Wants To Buy Land In Abuja. by wakes(op): 8:39am On Nov 21, 2019
Please advise someone who wants to buy a plot of land in Abuja.
His budget is N1M

WHY ADVICE IS NEEDED
1. He is new in town.
2. He was told to be extra careful as many have been duped before.
3. He has not bought a plot before so he doesn't have experience.
4. He believes NAIRALANDERS can help him.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Blessings!

Car TalkRe: The Official Car Comparison/Recommendation Thread by wakes: 4:15pm On Nov 19, 2019
nurey:
Toyota Corrolla is more economical in the line up, solid engine reliable a good city vehicle.

Rav4 vs CRV
The rav4 is a better all round vehicle than the crv in this comparism. you should pick the rav4 over the crv here.

Though the crv is cheaper than the rav4 price wise it isn't bad but it is susceptible to the leg pull syndrome but a solid looking vehicle.

pick the corolla if you don't need much cargo space.

pick the rav 4 if you need ground clearance and cargo space.

pick the crv if you can be concious of the leg sound and for cheapest among the fleet
Great!

seyithug:
Hi, welcome to the thread. Since nonody has helped you with any explanations to your questions, let me help you, as I no see sleep sleep. cheesy

1. The phones sold here are 100% sourced from the USA-, both fairly used and brand new. These phones are ordered from local classifieds ad sites like 5 miles, Offer Up, Craigslist etc and nationwide classifieds ad sites like Ebay, Amazon etc and other general shopping sites. The idea is to buy at the cheapest price possible, to make a good profit.
The process of scouting for such bargain deals is called deal-hunting. Hence, most of the sellers here are 'deal hunters'. There are also people who buy from the dealhunters to resell here or offline. You know the drill.

2. From whichever of the types of classifieds ad sites that the deals are bought from, somebody has to go pick and pay for the deal. You pay to them for the item+their fuel and service charge+shipping to Naija, and they go pick up, and will ship with other items, per week. It's a side-hustle, for them.
We call them pickers. They live in the USA.
However, some of them do strictly Ebay and Amazon. They may or may not live in the USA.. For Ebay and Amazon and general shopping on shopping sites, all they need is an address to ship packages to, and they arrange pickup with cargo shippers from the USA to ship to Naija.

3. a) When these deals are paid for, picked up, and shipped, a dealhunter may decide to advertise the deal as TLC (total landing cost). deal. Meaning that, they don't want to wait 1-2 weeks for the shipped item to land in Nigeria, before selling it off. So, they sell it off while it's still in transit, to free up money for other deals. TLC items already have the item cost+picker fees+shipping to Naija+ say 5k (+/-)profit factored intothe final offer. So, they're always cheap, not negotiable, but you have to patiently wait for them to land in Naija. TLC items are usually 20-40k cheaper than similar offers at Ikeja computer village. The cons here is that both you and the dealhunter don't know the full details of the condition of the deal. The pros, for the buyer is the cheap prices. The pros, for the dealhunter/seller is that they're able to turnover their investment as many times as they want, and make instant profit. Imagine dealing 10-15 times in a month and making 5-10k passive income.

3. b) Sometimes, the dealhunter/seller may not want to sell at TLC price, because selling at prevailing market price is more profitable, or the dealhunter may not get someone to buy at TLC value, until the item lands in Nigeria. This deal is called an AIN (Already in Nigeria) deal. Dealhunter buys item(s), ship to Naija, and sells at Naija prevailing rates, or slightly cheaper, to make higher profits. Most of these AIN dealers are shop owners and actual resellers at places like Ikeja Computer Village, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and in other states.
On this type of deal, you can go meet the dealhunter at their office or a meeting point, to inspect item's condition, before you pay for it.

I know that this thread has already reached 700 pages, but, go to Page 1, for more details on how it all works, and read up pages 1-10, and then, come to page 680 to the latest page, to have a good grasp of what we do here, and how to get nice deals.

You, too, can be a reseller, one-time buyer, or dealhunter.
