Well since we have an oil of the week (lavender), we are going to be featuring that in three different diffuser blends for you to try throughout the week. Be sure to get your diffusers ready and give these great blends a try!

Recipe of the Day: Soothing Sleep Salve & Pillow Spray
As you are probably very aware of by now, lavender has a very relaxing and soothing aroma to it. So it is a great aid to use in promoting a restful night sleep. You can rub lavender directly onto the bottom of your feet to help you sleep but I really like these two easy recipes to keep by the bed at night.
Soothing Sleep Salve
Super easy to make and takes less than 2 minutes you will want to keep a jar of this by your bed for at night.
Ingredients:
- Glass mason jar
- 1/2 cup semi-soft coconut oil
- 8 drops doTERRA lavender oil
- 4 drops doTERRA frankincense oil
- 3 drops doTERRA eucalyptus oil
- 2 drops doTERRA cilantro oil
Instructions:
- Make sure that your mason jar is clean.
- In a small bowl mix coconut oil and doTERRA oils together.
- Keep in jar for storage.
- For use, apply to bottoms of feet or chest before bed to promote a restful nights sleep.
Lavender Pillow Spray
This is going to be the easiest recipe ever, are you ready for it?
Ingredients:
- Glass spray bottle (I use an old Perrier bottle and a standard spray nozzle)
- 2 cups of distilled water
- 10 drops of doTERRA lavender oil
Instructions:
- Fill spray bottle with distilled water.
- Add 10 drops of doTERRA lavender oil.
- Shake well.
- Mist onto pillows and bedding before sleep.
Enjoy and have a good night sleep tonight!
See you tomorrow,

Recipe of the Day: Yoga Mat Spray
My all time favourite lavender recipe is my Bug Bite Itch Relief roller ball, which you may remember I shared the recipe with you a few weeks ago. But there are so many more uses for lavender!
The first recipe I am going to share with you this week is for a yoga mat spray. I found this recipe on the doTERRA blog and admittedly I probably don’t clean my yoga mat as much as I should but I love this recipe and find it also provides a nice relaxing smell. Plus because it has tea tree oil in it, it helps to ensure that your yoga mat stays clean and germ free!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of water
- 1/4 cup alcohol free witch hazel
- 5 drops doTERRA Lavender oil
- 3 drops doTERRA Tea Tree oil
- Glass spray bottle (an old Perrier bottle + a stand spray nozzle work great!)
Directions:
- Combine all ingredients in a glass spray bottle
- Shake well to insure they are mixed together
- Spray onto mat and wipe with a dry towel
Let me know if you like it!
Talk soon,
