Did you get the Simply Earth May box? I hope you loved it as much as I did!
This month is about being outside and summertime. Are anyone else’s children completely freaked out by bugs? I mean you’d think these tiny bugs are going to carry them off and eat them alive! Thankfully we have very few mosquitos so it’s mostly gnats and flies that bother them. Although in their defense, the gnats do seem bad this year. It’s a good thing that Simply Earth has them covered with their June essential oil box. There are a few light big repellent recipes that we have already put into use. And they are perfect for our area. Here is what else you can look forward to this month:
This month’s Simply Earth June essential oil box contains dried peppermint leaves, floating candle wicks, paper board lip balm tubes, and a 2 oz spray bottle as well as 4 specially curated essential oils. This month’s oils are:
- Lemongrass- calms, warms, cleans
- Mandarin- uplifts, calms, soothes
- Citronella- calms, repels insects
- Good Vibes- supports natural hormone production
This month’s recipes include Surf’s Up Diffuser Blend, Bug Off Roll-on, Citronella Floating Candle, Garden Spray, Summer Lovin’ Lip Balm, and Peppermint Infused Oil.
Surf’s Up Diffuser Blend
This light, clean, citrusy scent is wonderful for summer! I find it to be calming. We definitely made a master blend of this one.
Bug Off Roll-On
This roll-on so perfect for those slightly buggy days when you don’t want to coat yourself in bug spray. It’s perfect for keeping in a backpack or purse to have on hand whenever you need it.
Peppermint Infused Oil
I was excited to make my own infused oil. I’ve been thinking about trying my hand at making an infused olive oil so this gives me some hope I can actually do it. It’s so easy, too!
Summer Lovin’ Lip Balm
It seems we can always use a good lip balm no matter the time of year. I always like to use some before running to help keep my lips from feeling too dry. This one is cooling with the peppermint infused oil and smells so nice!
Garden Spray
This easy-to-make spray is just the thing to combat those bugs that are eating at your plants! We have a plum tree we planted last year that I’m going to use this on! And it smells nice, too.
Citronella Floating Candle
This candle is absolutely beautiful and so easy to make and reuse again and again! I love that if you use it for a party, you can personalize it with the decorative items in the jar. I used orange peels and flowers because that is what I had on hand and they were beautiful. We lit them the same night I made them when we ate dinner outside and it was lovely! They work well.
