Hey ya’ll!! Is this weather we are having not amazing!!!  It’s getting warmer and I love seeing the sun out!!!  This week I want to discuss the many uses for essential oils and sun care.  

Below you will find some amazing recipes to pamper yourself during and after sun exposure plus a bonus recipe for a refreshing pool side punch!!  

When spending time in the sun, your skin isn’t the only thing you should be worried about protecting. Too much sun exposure can cause damage to your hair and lead to dry, brittle strands. The good news is you can use sunscreen to protect your hair, just like the rest of your body. This simple Sun Protecting Hair Spay, dilutes sunscreen for easy application and contains Rosemary Oil, known for its renewing properties to help promote full, healthy-looking hair. Try mixing up this recipe the next time you're on your way to the pool or beach for extra protection. 

Ingredients:

Happy May Ya’ll!!!  I want to start this month off with a spotlight on Vetiver!! 

With a unique, exotic aroma, Vetiver oil is ideal for massage therapy and a calming routine before going to sleep.  It can also be rubbed on the feet before bedtime to prepare for a restful night’s sleep. 

Uses:

• Use Vetiver oil as a massage oil.
• Take a warm bath with a few drops of Vetiver essential oil for deep relaxation.
• Diffuse Vetiver oil.
• Use a toothpick to help get the desired amount out of the container if Vetiver oil is too thick to get out of the bottle.  A little goes a long way.

Spring is in full swing and I thought what better way to celebrate the season of blooms than with a spotlight on Geranium!! 

With various beautifying purposes, Geranium essential oil promotes healthy, glowing skin and hair, while providing a sweet, floral aroma.

Geranium oil has been used to promote the appearance of clear skin and healthy hair.  This oil also helps calm nerves and lessen feelings of stress. Geranium oil is also known to naturally repel insects. 

USES:

• Use Geranium oil in an aromatherapy steam facial to beautify skin.
• Add a drop to your moisturizer for a smoothing effect.
• Geranium essential oil is great for both dry and oily hair. Apply a few drops to your shampoo or conditioner bottle, or make your own deep hair conditioner.
• Diffuse Geranium oil aromatically for a calming effect.

Hey ya’ll!! This week I have thinking about deep cleaning in my kitchen.  I don’t know about y’all, but this is something I dread doing, but love to have done, once I am finished.  

This time, I’m really focused on using eco friendly products and essential oils in my cleaning.  Grease and grime gets everywhere in the kitchen.  That’s probably why the kitchen is one of the hardest rooms in the whole house to clean.  Using essential oils really helps cut through all this, sanitizes, and makes your whole kitchen smell amazing!!

Here are some of the oils I like to use in my cleaning…

Oregano Oil-damp & dark places

On Guard Oil-counters, kitchen, & all purpose

Tea Tree Oil-toilets, sinks, showers, washing machine odor, makeup brushes, & exercise mats

Lemon Oil-toilets, skinks, showers, floors, stainless steel, & wood

Lavender Oil-deodorizing, laundry, & carpets

Peppermint Oil-windows, mirrors, & pest...

Hey ya’ll!!  I recently did a social media post on “How to Keep Your Face Mask Clean” and I thought “what a great blog post”!!  

We’re all wearing them so we might as well talk about them and maybe with a little essential oil magic, we can make it a little more bearable.  Retailers around the world have taken the first step by designing cute and fashionable masks.  Now lets up our mask game by adding essential oils to help boost immune support and smell great! 

Keeping your mask clean will not only sanitize your mask, but also help you breath better, promote calm feelings, and smell amazing!  

I know having to wear a mask can make me feel anxious and sometime down right claustrophobic.  So I added some calming oils to my mask spray.  This helps me feel relaxed and centered.

Don’t like smelling your own breath all the time?  I know I don’t.  Essential oils in your mask spray will leave...

I want to give a huge shout out to one of my FAVORITE essential oils….lemon!  I love lemon! I love the smell! I love the taste and I LOVE what lemon does for the body.

Lemon oil is one of the most versatile of all the essential oils.  It cleanses and purifies the surfaces and the air.  Add a couple drops to a diffuser to help promote a positive mood.    

Add a drop or two of lemon oil to your water for a refreshing treat.  Using this oil internally, naturally cleanses the body and aids in digestion.    

Below are a list of ways that I like to use lemon essential oil around my home.  I promise, if you try one of these all natural tips, in your home, you will be hooked.   

• One to three drops removes sticky grease stains.
• Freshen your laundry by adding one drop to the final rinse cycle. 
• Mix with water for a natural cleaning spray.
• Sooth a sore throat by adding a drop or two to a cup of warm tea.
• Brighten your...

So… I figured what better way to follow up our Essential Oil Resolutions…than with some super easy Essential Oil Organization Tips!!  

Now that your supply of essential oils is growing, you need some practical ways to organize them.  If your oils are organized and accessible you will be so much more likely of using them daily.

I love to put labels on my lids!  I am a huge a fan of paper products, so I love a good sticker!  Other than giving your oil bottles some extra flair, lid stickers help you avoid picking up the wrong oil.  You can get lid stickers directly from doTERRA, Amazon, Etsy, or from various bottle suppliers.  Look around and find the ones that you like best.

You will want to store your oils out in the open, where you’re most likely to use them.  I have mine organized in an antique spice rack in my kitchen, on a shelf in my bedroom, and I store my extra oils in an oil box.  There are tons of ideas out there,...
