For fabric consider upcycling an old cotton or flannel shirt, but be sure to select a fabric that is natural, as synthetic fabrics may melt or burn when heated.

If you've never made your own soap before, you would probably be surprised by how easy it can be. Adding essential oils to homemade soap is a wonderful way to infuse potent, natural fragrances. Not to mention, it allows you to experience any benefits the oils may hold for the skin. The step-by-step instructions for this DIY Rosemary Spearmint Soap are easy to follow, with an end product that smells lovely and refreshing.
Items Needed Olive oil melt-and-pour soap base Silicone mold 15 drops Spearmint oil 15 drops Rosemary oil Optional: Dried herbs Disclaimer: Although these images show fresh herbs in the soap, we highly recommend only using dried herbs. The fresh herbs (although beautiful) turn the soap brown after a few days. Instructions Cut off the amount of soap base you want to use and place it into a microwave safe bowl. Melt the soap into liquid form in increments of 30 seconds. Add a handful of dried herbs to the soap mold. Add Spearmint and Rosemary essential oils. Mix together and pour into molds. Let it sit for an hour. Remove the soap from the mold. Note: The soap should be good for a few months. Click HERE for the original recipe from doTERRA.

The tugging at the ears, the crying… yup, you know it! No need to fear - we have oils for that!

Do this every 3-4 hours for children and every 2 hours for adults. We may be headed into summer, but it is always important to keep our immune systems built up! I like to beef up my immune game especially when traveling. My go-to plan is what I like to refer to as my F.L.O.O.T. roller.
In a 10 ml roller combine: 10 drops Frankincense 10 drops Lemon 10 drops OnGuard 5 drops Oregano 10 drops Tea Tree Top with Fractionated Coconut Oil and roll apply daily to bottoms of feet to stay protected and as needed if coming down with something. *Possible sun sensitivity. Take caution in UV rays. In addition to the immune support roller, I keep OnGuard+ Softgels on hand at ALL TIMES. These convenient supplements are jam-packed with oil goodness and are ready to go so they are perfect for travel. For your little ones, keep a Stronger Roller on hand. |
