I THINK IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!

I seriously was at my wits end with this crazy weather and lack of sunshine!! I do believe we are finally getting to be where we all want to be......warm weather, grilling out, long days in the sun, evenings by the fire pit, and windows open! Along with this beautiful season comes a few bothersome things like allergies, bugs, sunburn, and a few more ouchies on our little ones. Below I am going to post some of the all natural recipes I use for these things. Get a pen and paper and write them down! They all work amazing and are so worth using them to avoid all the chemicals you are replacing!!

ALLERGIES...UGHH!

I think most of us have some allergies in the spring and early summer months. One of the best, most effective all natural remedies that we use at our home is a blend of doTERRA essential oils in a veggie capsule. It works quickly and is very effective! doTERRA also has a pre-made capsule already made up called TriEase. It is the same ingredients I am listing below, but just already made up for you in a gelcap.

SEASONAL THREAT RELIEF

2 drops doTERRA Lemon Essential Oil

2 drops doTERRA Lavender Essential Oil

2 drops doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil

Combine in a veggie gelcap (you can get these on Amazon)

Take with food and a glass of water

ALL NATURAL BUG SPRAY

How many times have you grabbed the can of commercial bug spray and cringed as you put it on yourself or your little one because you are aware of all the chemicals that are going onto your skin and into your blood stream??? I have done this way too often in the past. Below is a recipe that works really well and smells great too!

1/2 C. Water

1/4 Witch Hazel

1 Pump of Fractionated Coconut Oil (You can get this on amazon or health food store)

20 drops of doTERRA Arborvitae

5 drops of doTERRA Clove

10 drops of doTERRA Geranium

10 drops of doTERRA Spearmint

10 drops of doTERRA Rosemary

15 drops of doTERRA Peppermint

Combine this all is a 4 oz spray bottle. Shake well before every spray.

SUNBURN RELIEF!

Yep, at some time this summer we will all be here! Below is a great recipe for some healthy, quick relief!  I do not make my own sunscreen. I am actually getting ready to purchase a tube of it from an all natural company called Beauty Counter. If you want information on it and where to get it from, contact me.

1 C. Aloe Vera Juice

1/4 C. Fractionated Coconut Oil (You can get this on Amazon or Health Food Store)

1 tsp. Vitamin E

8 drops doTERRA Lavender

8 drops doTERRA Melaleuca

8 drops Roman Chamomile

Combine in a glass spray bottle and shake well before each use.

OUCHIES!!!

Again, we will all have this problem at one time or another this summer and, and so will our little ones. Here is a simple recipe to put in a roller ball to keep in your purse and have handy for whenever that time arises! It is also great to roll on bug bites.

20 drops doTERRA Lavender

20 drops doTERRA Melaleuca

Put in a 10 ml roller bottle and top off with Fractionated Coconut Oil. Roll on skin where issue is.

COOL DOWN SPRAY

After you are out mowing, exercising or doing anything that makes you work up a sweat, this Cool Down Spray will help cool you down quicker and feel refreshed. It's also great for us women when the dreaded "hot flashes" creep up.

8 oz water

2 tsp witch hazel

10 drops of doTERRA Peppermint

Combine in a glass spray bottle.  Shake well and spray neck, arms, chest. Avoid face and eye contact.
