If you are like me and you like to make the most out of every minute of the summertime, then you are going to love these tips I have that will make your life easier. Let’s dive on in! (pun intended) 👙
DIY After Sun Spray - Are you a sun goddess? I can admit, we all get a bit too much sun sometimes. 🌞 I have the perfect skin support for you:
In a 4 ounce spray bottle combine:
💧 10 drops of Frankincense
💧 10 drops of Lavender
💧 5 drops of Peppermint
💧 5 drops of Helichrysum
💧 ½ ounce of FCO
Top with 1 oz witch hazel and 2 oz water and apply to tender area. This combo is great for all things skin, so it doubles as a boo boo blend as well!
2. Hydration Station - If you aren’t a plain water lover, skip the nasty artificial water flavorings and do this instead:
💧 Set up a hydration station with your favorite citrus oils
🍓 Cut up fresh fruit to add to add to your water (Try strawberry, mango, or pineapple)
🍋 Make “light” lemonade with ¼ to ½ the amount of sugar (add fresh fruit too)
Why is hydration so important? Our bodies are 80% water. It keeps our digestive health moving along, supports our brain health, keeps our skin glowing and our whole body functioning properly. When the weather is hot, we tend to get dehydrated faster so it is important to make sure we are replenishing what we sweat out!
3. Bug Bite Blend - One downside of summer are the bugs and, unfortunately, sometimes bug bites. Especially if we forget our TerraShield. 🙁
Don’t worry! We have oils for that! Try this recipe out for itch relief.
In a 10 mL Roller add:
💧 10 drops Purify
💧 5 drops Lavender
💧 5 drops Copaiba
💧 5 drops Peppermint
Pro Tip → Try Purify on bee stings #thankmelater
4. DIY Popsicles - Craving a sweet and satisfying treat, but don’t want all the added sugar? I swear by these Strawberry Mango popsicles.
In a blender add:
2 cups of fresh Mango (don’t like mango → use pineapple)
1 TBSP Lime Juice
5 drops Lime Essential Oil
Blend together until smooth. Pour into your popsicle molds until ¾ of the way full. Slice up 6 strawberries and shove slices into each mold. Cover and freeze for at least 3 hours. Serve and enjoy!
5. Natural Hair Detangler Spray - If braids and messy buns are a daily occurrence, or you have little ones with hair that gets tangled easily, this DIY will soon become a favorite of yours. ✨
In an 8 ounce spray bottle mix:
💧 2-3 TBSP doTERRA Conditioner
💧 8 oz Hot Water
💧 10 drops Rosemary
💧 10 drops Lavender
Allow to cool before using. Shake before each use. Spray on hair and brush through.
