SUMMER SAFETY

Summer is here and I know so many of us are counting down the seconds to those lazy pool days, smoky BBQ nights, mountain escapes, and toes-in-the-sand beach trips. ☀️🏖️⛺️

I don’t know about you, but around here, summer feels like both a dream and a full-on logistical sport. 😂 Between sunscreen battles, snack runs, and making sure no one melts or gets sunburned, I always remind myself to keep our essential oil routine safe and easy, too.

So grab your favorite cold drink (I’m partial to sparkling water with lime 🥤✨) and let’s chat about a few super simple ways to keep your family safe and happy with oils this summer. 💛

✨ 1️⃣ Check the label (yes, really!)
Think of this like reading a recipe before cooking—it saves a lot of “oops.” 🤭 Each oil is a little different. Many need a carrier oil to dilute before putting them on your skin (especially first timers!). And be extra careful around eyes, nose, and ears—we want the good smells, not the stings.

✨ 2️⃣ Store them safely
School’s out = kids exploring EVERYTHING. 😂 Make sure your precious oils are up high and out of reach. Better yet, make them part of the routine! I love letting my kids pick the diffuser blend for the day. It turns into a fun little ritual that keeps the vibes calm (even after those inevitable sibling arguments 🫣).

✨ 3️⃣ Watch out for citrus in the sun 🍊☀️
Those sunny summer days can be sneaky. Citrus oils (like lemon, lime, bergamot) can make your skin extra sensitive to the sun. Best bet? Skip applying them topically before heading outdoors. If you do, wait at least 12 hours before any sunbathing. Let’s avoid any surprise rashes or burns, okay?

Summer is for making memories—not for dealing with ouchies or frantic Google searches about essential oil safety! 😂 So let’s keep it simple, fun, and safe for everyone.

Here’s to all of us mamas keeping our families healthy, happy, and sun-kissed (but not sunburned) this summer. 🌸💦🌞

Big hugs,
Danette 💕

LIFESAVERS FOR THE OUTDOORS

Okay friends, let’s be real: summer fun is the best—but it can also do a number on our skin, muscles, and sinuses. 😅 Whether you're chasing kids at the splash pad, hiking your favorite trail, or refereeing the backyard water fight, these oils are my personal lifesavers to keep everyone feeling good. 💛

Here are my summer must-haves to toss in your bag, stash in the car, or keep by the back door:

🌿 Peppermint
Seriously, this is summer in a bottle. A drop on the back of your neck is amazing when it’s hot hot hot 🔥. Add a few drops to a spray bottle with water for a refreshing all-over mist. You can even add it to your drinking water (just one drop in a big bottle!) for a cool, energizing boost.

💜 Lavender
Spent a little too long out in the sun? Lavender is my go-to for soothing after-sun skin. Combine it with Peppermint in an after-sun spray for extra relief. It’s like telling your skin, “Sorry about that, friend!” 😂

🌼 TriEase® Softgels
If summer air = sneezing fits for your family, these are clutch. Lemon, Lavender, and Peppermint team up in these softgels to help support healthy breathing and deal with seasonal annoyances. 🙌

💙 Breathe®
If the pollen count is out of control or you just need a deep breath of relief, rub this on your chest or add a drop to your palms, cup over your nose, and inhale. It’s like telling your lungs, “You got this.” 🌬️

🌱 Tea Tree (Melaleuca)
A summer essential. Great for supporting skin health and keeping things clean, plus it helps discourage those pesky bugs who think you’re their personal buffet. 🦟 Nope, not today!

👑 Frankincense
Sometimes our bodies need a little extra love after a long day outdoors. Massage it into your hands and feet after hiking or wrangling kids at the lake for a soothing, grounding vibe. 🏔️👐

🦵 Deep Blue®
Your bestie for tired, overworked feet and muscles. Cooling and warming. Perfect for when you overdo it a little (because summer is for playing hard, right?).

🩹 Correct-X®
Think of this as your all-natural “fix-it” ointment. Perfect for scrapes, cuts, or random summer skin drama. It soothes, hydrates, and protects without any sketchy ingredients.

Let’s be honest—summer’s messy, loud, and sometimes sticky. 😂 But with these in your toolkit, you’re ready for whatever adventure your family dreams up. 🌞🌴💦

❤️Okay friend, let's talk about why this matters.

I know you’re not here just because oils smell nice. You’re here because you care. About your kids. About your home. About doing the best you can—even on the days it feels impossible.

These simple swaps aren’t about being perfect. They’re about making life a little easier, a little safer, and a lot more peaceful. Imagine your kids running around outside without you worrying so much about bug bites or sunburned, angry skin. Imagine being able to help them calm down after a meltdown just by turning on the diffuser. Imagine YOU getting to feel relaxed at the end of the day because your body feels good and you’re not stressed about what’s in your products.

That’s what these oils help me do. They’re not magic potions (though sometimes it feels that way 😆). They’re just one small step toward the kind of home I want: calm, safe, happy.

And you know what? You can totally do this too. I know life is busy. I know it feels like “one more thing.” But you don’t have to do it all at once. You can start small. Swap one thing. Try one oil. Notice how it feels.

If you’re ready to start making those changes, I’d love to help you. It’s why I do this. ❤️
