My delicious aromatherapy Summer Scent has fabulous Bug Banishing powers!
Hello friends! I'm so excited to share one of my favorite Summer Secrets with you!
I've gotten really into Essential Oils lately, replacing toxic skincare, perfumes & other household items with delicious, organic formulations straight from Earth's beautiful flowers and plants. After all, our skin, for example, is our largest organ, so anything we're putting on it we're essentially eating, as the ingredients are ultimately absorbed and processed into our bloodstream, liver etc. Obviously, the same idea goes for that which we breath into our lungs also. Not only are Essential Oils non-toxic, (only source top quality 100% pure essential oils, such as anything from LivingLibations ), they possess amazing healing properties for our bodies and they're also uplifting to our minds and spirits with their stress-relieving aromatherapy benefits.
My favorite essential oils are from Living Libations
My refreshing Summer Scent, in the silver canister above (I recycled it from a previous use) is an energizing mist of gorgeous mint and lavender. It's truly the most heavenly fragrance I've ever worn- so lovely for warm weather.
Spritz it on for its delicious scent and a cooling, energizing, aromatherapy boost... while simultaneous banishing away wasps, mosquitos, spiders & ticks! Peppermint and Lavender happen to be two scents these and many other bugs hate!
Just add 3-5 drops each (adjust according to your strength preference, your oil strength & container size) of excellent quality, organic, essential oils of Peppermint & Lavender to a container filled with purified water. I used about 5 drops of each for my 2 oz. spray bottle. Start with less as you can always add more. Obviously, the stronger you make it, the less the bugs will like you :-)
Shake. (& shake well before each use)
& Voila!

PS. Try dabbing on a few dots of orange citrus essential oil in the morning when you wake up for a wonderful energy and mood boost first thing!
PPS. Did you know, applying a tiny dab of peppermint essential oil to the temples can relieve a headache!
PPPS. To make a REALLY potent bug banisher, albeit overpowering the refreshing aromatic qualities of the recipe above, add a few drops of tea-tree and lemongrass (aka citronella) essential oil to the same recipe.
