Simply Earth Essential Oils: Summer Care

Florida was a vacation spot for our family for years. There's a lot of fond memories of playing in the surf, sunning in the beach chair and building sand castles in the sand. Of course in the evenings we'd venture out for ice cream - it's just what you do. However, there was something about the mornings, especially when I grew into adulthood. My mom, sister and I would be the first up in order to sit out on the balcony, sipping coffee in peace before children awoke and temperatures rose.

I wish I could describe how the air feels, but now that I live in Florida I noticed something. The morning air changes once the summer arrives. It's almost as if she's preparing for the wave of vacationers, looking for a chance to recharge and find moments of peace. The mornings are most definitely my favorite and when I opened the June box for Simply Earth I couldn't help but smile. It feels like vacation. They outdid themselves again!!

Summer Day Diffuser Blend
The diffuser blend is always my first recipe to throw together because it's beyond simple to do. Simply Earth tells you how many drops of each oil in order to make a master blend. If I love the featured recipe, I'll bottle it up and keep it by the diffuser.

This month's blend using all four bottles of EOs!

Travel Buddy Roll On
I will be taking this recipe with me when we hit the road this summer. My hubby and middle child experience car sickness occasionally, so I look forward to using them as test subjects!

Hibiscus Skin Repair Bath Salts
When I opened the hibiscus flowers, I was pleasantly surprised by their fragrance and knew this would feel more like a pampering soak over a medicinal soak!

Hibiscus Frozen Facial
This was another recipe to assemble. Thankfully, I still had my silicone ice cube tray around. Now that we have a freezer with an ice maker I rarely use them, though they do come in handy for freezing herbs, etc. Shows how well I'm keeping up with that!

Anyway, as I type my ice cube facials are awaiting use in the freezer.

After Sun Blend
Here's one we will use a lot around here! Between the pool and the beach, my boys are out in the sun on a daily basis. Now I'll have sunscreen for the before and this sun care spray for after. The recipe has aloe, Palmarosa EO and their Head Soothing Blend.

Beachy Hair Spray
This recipes makes me think of sea salt spray. You know why? You guessed it! There's sea salt in the recipe. I couldn't wait to get this one put together, along with the "After Sun Blend" to take to the beach.

Now I have several of the summer recipes stored in this cute makeup bag from the Sip & Mingle Event. Who is ready for a day at the beach or another travel adventure?!

Oh, and look how this bag matches my favorite beach towel!!
