I need Lavender Oil & Watercolour Paper Please!

(Update: I found a place that sells lavender oil...but it's pretty expensive. Not sure I can afford it ...and definitely not at the moment. )

Hola, if you are coming to Zipolite, Mazunte or even just to Huatulco could you bring me some lavender oil.

If you live in Vancouver could you please visit
Gaia Gardens Herbal Dispensary http://www.gaiagarden.com/
 https://www.facebook.com/GaiaGardenHerbals/
near Broadway and MacDonald and get a 100ml bottle of pure 100% pure lavender essential oil and bring it and I will pay you.

 I would appreciate so much. Tell Angie, Tina sent you!

The first place we stayed was open and the mosquito net just wasn't working for me and I had a lot of bites and used a lot of lavender. Then we had a little ant infestation at the new place and I have figured out how to deal with them but these little warrior ants are so mean. I am allergic to bites and they leave really itchy welts on me.

I use the lavender in my homemade mosquito/bug repellent and well we are only 2 months in and I only have about 30 ml left.

So please, if you can bring me some I would appreciate it so much.  We are here until March.

I also need watercolour paper. Deserres or Opus sell small pads. 140lb weight is great and they are under $10 for about 20 pages.  I put everything in storage and accidentally packed the box with my paper. I have paint and no paper.

I promise to paint you a lovely painting or do something really nice to pay you back for your efforts.

These were all done on the paper they sell here, years ago in 2001, after the fire in Zipolite burned my camera and I re-discovered my talent of drawing and painting- it's just drawing paper,  but I would really love some actual watercolour paper. These were digitally enhanced because the paper just won't allow much paint.

Let me know if you are coming and when you get here please contact me

Thanks again if you can help. If you know anyone heading down here please tell them. You can get the lavender at many stores...Aromaforce is also a economical & good quality. It just needs to be 100% pure  lavender essential oil.

Gracias.

The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy
By Valerie Ann Worwood

This book is my bible. I actually have two copies, my original burned in the Zipolite fire in 2001, then I bought another, and then when my mom passed away I got her copy.

The information in here has been invaluable to me. I use aromatherapy for everything. Lavender and Eucalyptus have helped us some many times. We carried it with us to Mexico and pretty much had a panic attack when we ran out. I remember when we caught what we believe was the swine flu, Kata arrived like an angel and brought us two bottles. Hugs and kisses and excellent karma to you my dear for that.

Lavendar has so many uses and eucalyptus as well as my other faves Clary Sage, Geranium and Rosewood. I am sure you'll find your faves too.

My favourite brands for are Aromaforce, and Aura Cacia, and Saje. You can find the first two at Capers/Whole Foods http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/capers//Whole Foods and the other at Saje http://saje.ca/.
