Road Trip! {Essential oils for summer}
We drove about 10 hours each way, from Texas to Missouri, recently for a wedding. You better believe I had all my oils with me. I’d add to these Citrus Bliss (energy and happy hearts) and Peppermint to keep you awake! Investing in a car diffuser is a great idea too.
Soothing After-Sun spray {Essential oils for summer}
Some sun exposure is good, but too much of it can cause irritation. Next time you deal with discomfort from too much sun, try this after-sun soothing spray with essential oils.

Thank you for the awesome suggestions! I made a similar after sun spray but added 8 drops each of Frank and Helichrysum. Since I am allergic to coconut oil, I used witch hazel.

Thanks for sharing all that great information! I’m excited to share these ideas with my friends and family in the upcoming weeks. I just got a little car diffuser and I love it! We’re planning an eight hour drive to Arizona soon and I think it will add a great boost to the long driving! Nothing like a little peppermint or my favorite, Purify!
You’ve inspired me to make two or three of each of these blends, label them with all the information, share them on our trip, and maybe my Arizona family will become part of the happy doTERRA family!

My favorite oil this summer is lemon. It’s so refreshing in my water and I know it’s also giving me health benefits.
Jeni Warrior says
We have been using oils to flavor a little bit of honey then mixing in with our favorite fruit combos. Tastes great plus we get the wellness benefits of essential oils! So far our favorite has been using wild orange on strawberries and black berries.

It’s so hard to choose a favorite! However, my must have oil would be Onguard! All year round everyday ? For a favorite smell it would be Terrashield, Peppermint, and FCO blended together to ward off insects. Makes counters smell great and ants hate it!
