SpOIL Yourself Saturday

Weekends should be about relaxing and spoiling yourself, am I right? So each Saturday is going to be dedicated to spoiling yourself using the essential oil of the week. Lavender is a GREAT oil to start this off with because it has so many great relaxing benefits. So dedicate a few hours to yourself this weekend and be prepared to relax.

We will start off super simple with one you can even make and enjoy later. I like to keep a jar of these in the bathroom, because you never know when you will have time for a nice relaxing bath.

Lavender Bath Salts

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups bath salts
  • 3-5 drops doTERRA lavender oil
  • jar for storage

Instructions:

  1. Mix bath salts with the lavender oil in the jar.
  2. Put 2-3 tablespoons into a hot bath.
  3. Relax and enjoy!

Easy peasy right? Next one is nice and simple too!

  5. Enjoy!

And finally, one of personal favourites to use especially in the summer. If you are anything like me your hair gets really tangled, especially after swimming in pools or the lake. This is my go to saviour for detangling my hair!

No more itching, no more scratching! 

Is it just me, or have the mosquitoes been really bad this year?! If you are anything like me the bug just love you, which means when you come in from outside you are covered head to toe in bites.

Now I also have the added factor that my big bites swell like a balloon! So not only am I itchy as all get out I’m also red, blotchy and swollen. It’s just awful.

Last night I literally couldn’t sleep because I couldn’t stop scratching at all the mosquitoe bites. So I turned to my Essential Life book and found a winning solution!

I took lavender and rubbed it on the bites and it worked great and I was able to sleep!

Today I found an even better remedy thanks to some ladies on my team. I wanted to share it here because I can’t believe how well it works and you all need to try it!

Goodbye Bug Bites Roller Stick

What you need:

  • 1 roller bottle
  • Coconut oil
  • 5 drops dōTERRA lavender
  • 5 drops dōTERRA lemon
  • 5 drops dōTERRA Peppermint

Instructions:

  1. Make sure the roller bottle is clean! Give it a wash if needed.
  2. Fill roller bottle ¾ of the way with coconut oil.
  3. Add 5 drops of each dōTERRA lavender, lemon, and peppermint oil.
  4. Put the ball and lid on tight and give a good shake.
  5. Roll on big bites as needed!
  6. Enjoy the relief from scratching!!!!

Hope this helps you as much as it helped me! Enjoy!
