Summer Essentials
Bring on the sunshine and endless amounts of outdoor fun! Summer is officially here and I want to make sure you're prepped and ready with the oils + remedies to support you. Whether it's too much sun, road rash, keeping the bugs away, or adding a little extra zest to your cooking, you'll find it here!
Diffusing
When it comes to summer diffusing there are so many options.
I love leaning into my citrus oils for crisp, clean air, and uplifted emotions. But there are plenty of other ways to support your home + family aromatically in this season.
There are great oils + blends for:
- shaking off the effects of a late night - try Wild Orange + Peppermint
- keeping the bugs away - get out your Terrashield + Citronella
-gathering some motivation for work when you'd rather be outside - Motivate blend for the win
-calming the crazy summer schedule - Adaptiv aka liquid calm
Be sure to test out some of the blends in the image below and if you're in the market for a diffuser (aren't we all??) check out your options HERE.

Remedies
At our house, summer is the season we lean into our natural first aid kit most. There's something for just about everything - scrapes, cuts, rash, bug bites, after sun, sore muscles…….you name it, we've got it!
Our most used:
1. Boo Boo blend (also try Correct X ointment) - cuts, scrapes, rash, bug bites (or just straight up Lavender), cracked gardening hands or any other minor skin concerns.
2. Deep Blue rub or Deep Blue stick (or the Rescuer roller bottle) - sore muscles from extra sports + yard work, or bruises from outdoor fun.
3. After Sun spray (or just a drop of Lavender with the unfragranced hand + body lotion) for when we've taken on just a little too much vitamin D!

Gardening with Oils
This may be an area you've never considered using your oils, but they can be oh so useful! Plants helping plants, makes so much sense doesn't it?! Our gardens deserve only the very best, especially if we're going to be eating the fruits (and veggies) of our labour!
I love the tips below and hope you'll find them useful as well.
