How to Use Essential Oils in the Summer

We are loving the long, hot Alabama days. I love this season! Y’all know I adore my essential oils. They are a must-have for an enjoyable, delicious and relaxing summer. Let me show you how!

1. Enjoy the outdoors annoyance-free!

This amazing oil blend is the bomb diggity. It includes Citronella, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Myrtle, and Tea Tree essential oils!! I won’t be without it during the summertime…or ever. We also use Purification to soothe and cleanse the skin…and we have A LOT of opportunities to “soothe” and “cleanse” around here.

2. Diffuse Like A Crazy Person!

I created these recipes and they are totally fabulous!! Perfect for those “Calgon, take me away!” moments! 😉

3. Use essential oils in your recipes!! Yum!

This Summer salad dressing is absolutely amazing! It’s super easy and quick to make!

4. Seasons changing? No big deal! 

This fabulous trio {Lemon, Lavender & Peppermint} plus Copaiba is wonderfully helpful when the seasons are changing.

10. And it’s important to know about a few oils and photosensitivity. This means that if you apply them topically and then you go sit out in the sun with that skin exposed, your skin could burn. The chart below helps explain this more fully!
