    The vodka and water mixture is suppose to be the same as Best Press(which everyone that can afford it loves). I have the recipe somewhere.LOL I was told to use the cheaper Vodka(works better).

    hey how about using the flavored vodka in the spray bottle instead of oils? I think that would be a great way to get the ironing done.

    If you mix Lavender EO with the Vodka & distilled water( not tap water), on the sheets and pillow cases when you make the bed you will sleep like a baby. I have also used it in my quilt making and sprayed it on unspun fleece and spun yarn it keeps the bugs away.

    I wonder if this will get rid of facial wrinkles. LOL
    I do believe enough vodka will not only take care of facial wrinkles but everything else that's bothering you at the moment.
