Some of my favorite summertime diffuser blends, roller blends and spray recipes are below.  Enjoy! 

DIFFUSER BLENDS:

Berry Breeze

SUNBURN RELIEF:

Need some quick sunburn relief? Try one or more of these essential oils blended with a carrier oil, unscented lotion, or aloe vera gel. 

•  Chamomile (Roman or German)
•  Peppermint
•  Tea Tree
•  Helichrysum
•  Geranium

Aloe vera gel is a great carrier for essential oils when you are sun burnt. 

ALOE VERA RELIEF GEL: 

Here is a simple gel to make and keep in the refrigerator so it will be cool to the skin when applied. Lavender oil provides healing and peppermint oil provides cooling. All ingredients are soothing and will help with the pain and heat.

•  14 drops Lavender Oil
•  10 drops Peppermint Oil
•  1/4 cup Aloe Vera Gel
•  2 oz Glass Lotion Pump Bottle

Directions: Add all ingredients to the bottle and shake to blend. Apply to skin as needed. 2% dilution.

ALOE VERA ICE CUBES: 

•  Aloe Vera Gel (don't use jelly)
•  Lavender essential oil (optional)
•  Silicone Ice Cube Tray

Directions:

Step 1: Using a silicone ice cube tray, pour aloe vera gel into the tray until filled.

Step 2: Add one drop of lavender to each ice cube section and stir in with a toothpick (optional).

Step 3: Place ice cube tray into the freezer. Freeze for several hours until solid.

Step 4: Once frozen, remove from tray and place them into a freezer-safe container or bag.

That is it, simple right? These cubes work great for so many things.
