    Review: "I previously wrote a review about these oils that I purchased. But as you can see, the newer bottles are much smaller than the previous bottles I purchased for the same price.

So I am forced to purchase them, despite the fact that the bottles are smaller. until I find somebody that will give me a better deal." - Susan Fuentes
