Dear Oily,
Help! I think I’m almost out of Lavender essential oil, but I’m not sure. How can I tell? When should I order more?
Sincerely,
Almost Out
Dear Out,
This is a serious problem. You do NOT want to run out of Lavender oil (or any oil, honestly). Look what happens when you do!
That’s a video of my friend Jo. She was having a serious moment because she *gasp!* RAN OUT OF LAVENDER. I can relate. Running out of essential oil is terrible!
The problem is, oil bottles don’t have a fuel gauge like a car does. There’s no meter to track your oil use or little light flicking on to let you know that you’re running on empty.
Fortunately, you have me! My husband was once an auto-mechanic, and I have used his expertise to develop an Essential Oil Gauge to make sure you never have to suffer from a lack-o-lavender.
First step: let’s figure out how much oil you have left in your tank.. I mean bottle.
