Summer Fun DIY Essentials


(Please be sure to read Disclaimer at the bottom of post)



This is one of those products that EVERYONE raves about!! While I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on it personally I have been watching like a hawk for it to come back in stock! 
But… since it’s is out of stock, no worries, we have a back up option for you! 
If you have done any classes with us before you know we LOVE the DYI options also! 
See the next pic for the recipe! Special thanks to Essential Oil Up for the recipe!



Citronella is EXCELLENT for a pesky free zone! BUT personally, I say why stop at Citronella?! Why not show those little boogers who's boss right?!?! I like to add Lemongrass and purification to the mix also! Did you know the Lemongrass plant actually helps to repel mosquitoes?!! Oh yes, go grab you some Lemongrass plants this weekend and plant those bad boys around your patio!! 
There are several recipes you can use, but I like to use equal drops of Citronella, Lemongrass, and Purification to a spay bottle with witch hazel, shake it up and spray those pesky state birds away!! 

I love using peppermint for it's cooling sensation!! (and because it's so versatile!) But please do make sure you keep it away from your eyes! It is a hot oil!
Did you know, if you accidentally get an essential oil into your eyes, you should never try to wash it out with water! Use a carrier oil to rub onto the eyes until that sensation goes away! Water will only intensify the heat!


We love to fish!!! Ok... maybe I love it the most, but there is nothing like spending the day out on the boat with rod in hand, waiting to see who catches the big guy for the day!!
So please... if you are a fellow fisher-woman, take note of the Lemon recommendation!!! LEMON kills it for this purpose! (HA! ) And if you personally don't like to fish... make sure to send a bottle of Lemon with your hubby! 
And lemon is such a cost gentle oil, that you could even afford to send a bottle with the neighbor!

I'm all about Summer Fun, but let's get real here! ...Ladies... come on now, tell me you wouldn't love a pedicure like this in the dead cold of winter?!?! This is a seasonal all around good idea! And if you have a hubs or a boyfriend-in-training, let's get these slides to them ASAP!! They need to start studying good technique! Who wants fabulous flip-flop feet already?!?! *hehe* (And even in December!!!  Sorry, that's another Texas thing! LOL Flip flops all the time! 
)



Road Trips are usually a thing in the Summer. And who wants to go on a road trip with whiney irritable people, right?
I definitely recommend getting yourself a travel diffuser! I like the USB plug in ones! But I understand that may not be functional for everyone, so they do have many options available these day for travel diffusers.
But, if you want to start small definitely grab a cotton ball and try out some recipes/blends. And Momma's if you don't have a necklace diffuser yet, GET ONE!!! Life changing! Always hanging around your neck, just sitting there, ready for you to grab and sniff on! It's worth it! And especially in confined spaces, like in a car! 

I'm going to try and not go to crazy on this post for you, but I have a small amount of what they call OCD... Obsessive Cleansing Disorder!  I'm a bit of a Germaphobe! LOL
Thieves anything is a staple in my household! But on the road for sure, I always have my cleansing spray!
For a DIY option ( I have these in my purse, on my desk, in my car... you get the point  ) You can take a small glass spray bottle, use witch hazel as your base, and add about 3-5 drops of Thieves, and 3-5 drops of Tea Tree, and shake it up! EASY PEASY, and affordable to have EVERYWHERE you could think of to need it!

Since we were talking about the diffuser options here are a few diffuser recipes you can try out!
I love trying new diffuser recipes!!
What is you favorite oily concoction in your diffuser right now?!

Who likes to cook?!? I'm not so great at it, but I am going to give it a whirl with these marinades! I would love to hear how they work for you too if you give them a try!
Don't forget your Young Living Vitality oils are great to infuse your water with also! Always be sure to use a glass cup or drinking apparatus, for citrus oil safety, but it can make drinking your daily dose of water much easier!!

And since we are speaking of infusing our liquids with our Essential Oils, let us not forget to infuse our celebratory liquids either!!!
