For a refreshing and cooling , use essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and spearmint to counter the heat. Zesty citrus oils (lemon, lime, grapefruit) lift the mood, while lavender, tea tree, and citronella offer post-sun skin soothing and natural bug repellent. 

Top for February Summer:

Cooling & Refreshing:

Peppermint & Spearmint: High menthol content provides a cooling sensation on the skin.

Eucalyptus: Ideal for refreshing and cooling, perfect for after-sun, heat-fatigue, or breathing relief.

Citrus & Energizing:

Lemon & Lime: Boost energy and purify the air.

Bergamot: Provides a bright, sunny, and uplifting aroma.

Grapefruit & Tangerine: Ideal for summery, fresh, and uplifting, sweet scents.

Protection & Soothing:

Lavender: Calms skin after sunburn and helps with inflammation.

Tea Tree & Citronella: Effective natural insect repellents for flies and mosquitoes.

Sandalwood: Soothes and cools skin after long sun exposure. 

Summer DIY Ideas:

Cooling Body Spray: Mix peppermint, eucalyptus, or spearmint with distilled water and witch hazel in a spray bottle.

Diffuser Blend (Fresh/Summer): Combine 4 drops tangerine, 2 drops lavender, 1 drop lime, and 1 drop spearmint.

After-Sun Oil: Mix lavender and sandalwood for a soothing, anti-inflammatory blend. 

Note: Citrus oils can be photosensitive; avoid applying them to skin before direct sun exposure.

Pinch and punch for the first day of month.

The of 

February comes from the Latin word februa, which means “to cleanse.” The month was named after the Roman Februalia, which was a month-long festival of and atonement that took place this time of year.

February’s  

Even though so many roses are sold during February due to Valentine’s Day, the Violet and the Primrose are the symbolic flowers.

The violet signifies watchfulness, loyalty, and faithfulness. Give a violet to someone to let them know that you’ll always be there for them.

The primrose lets someone know that you can’t live without them.

February’s Birthstone

Like the violet, February’s birthstone is a purple color.  It’s the beautiful amethyst.

This gem is a form of quartz; it can range from a pale lilac color to a deep, rich purple.

The name is based on a Greek myth that speaks of a nymph named Amethyst who was inadvertently turned into white stone; in remorse, the Greek god Bacchus poured wine over her to turn her a beautiful purple.

The amethyst was thought to prevent intoxication and keep its wearer thinking sharply. It was worn by English royalty in the Middle Ages.

BASE NOTES describe the oils that stay with you the longest. They have heavy molecules that take much longer to evaporate. Base notes add depth and richness to a blend as well as acting as an anchor for the entire perfume. Sandalwood and Patchouli are both examples of base notes.

26/01/2026

To relax on a "holiday at home" (also known as a staycation), you can: limit technology use, engage in calming activities like meditation or reading, enjoy relaxing scents with essential oils, take long baths, spend time in nature (even in your backyard), cook a nice meal, and generally prioritize activities that make you feel refreshed and rejuvenated without leaving home; essentially, create a relaxing atmosphere and schedule that feels like a mini vacation at home. 

Key strategies:

Unplug from technology: Set aside dedicated times to check your phone and email, or even consider a "digital detox" for a few hours each day. 

Mindfulness practices: Try meditation, deep breathing exercises, or guided imagery to quiet your mind. 

Self-care routine: Take a long bath with relaxing bath salts, pamper yourself with a face mask, or get a massage. 

Outdoor time: Spend time in your garden, go for a walk in the park, or simply sit on your porch and enjoy the fresh air. 

Creative activities: Read a book, listen to music, paint, draw, write in a journal, or do a puzzle. 

Home spa day: Create a relaxing atmosphere with candles, soft music, and aromatherapy. 

Cooking and baking: Experiment with new recipes or make your favorite comfort food. 

Explore your neighborhood: Visit local shops, museums, or landmarks you've never been to before. 

Set boundaries: Let others know you're taking a "staycation" and politely decline unnecessary commitments. 

Prioritize sleep: Make sure to get enough rest and stick to a consistent sleep schedule.

24/01/2026

Essential oils are generally not recommended for babies under 3 months old, and for older babies (3+ months), they must be highly diluted with a carrier oil, used sparingly, and never ingested; lavender, Roman chamomile, mandarin, and dill are often cited as gentler options for calming or colic, but safety is debated, so always patch test, avoid face/hands, and consult a pediatrician first, as babies' skin is sensitive and absorbs oils more readily.

• Mandarin: Gentle citrus option. uplifting
• Dill (Anethum graveolens): Aids digestion, helps with colic.
• Frankincense: Gentle for skin and mind.
• Ginger/Fennel: For tummy troubles. 
How to Use Safely
• Dilute Heavily: Use a carrier oil (olive, grapeseed, etc.) at very low dilutions (e.g., 1-2 drops per 50ml for under 3 months, up to 0.25% for 3-24 months). 
• Application: Massage diluted oil onto the back or bottoms of feet; avoid face, hands, and private areas. 
• Aromatherapy: Diffuse in a well-ventilated room, but avoid infants under 3 months. 
• Patch Test: Test a tiny diluted amount on the baby's skin first. 
Important Safety Warnings
• Under 3 Months: Avoid all essential oils, according to many sources. 
• Potency: Oils are highly concentrated; undiluted use can cause skin irritation or allergies. 
• No Ingestion: Never add oils to food or let babies ingest them. 
• Medical Advice: Essential oils are not a substitute for proper medical care; consult a pediatr

-care in four key dimensions of well-being: (mental/ ), body ), (emotional), and spirit (spiritual/essence).

Physical (the body) – to live, move, and breath
Physical self-care involves ensuring an overall healthy lifestyle that includes eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and getting plenty of exercise. Consider decluttering your home and office so that you have a feeling of spaciousness and manageability. Take time away from computers, TV, and your smartphone (sedentary lifestyles are a health issue). Enjoy moments to rest and replenish.

Emotional (heart) – to love, care, and be in relationship with yourself and others
Emotional self-care might include setting clear boundaries on your time and energy. Engage emotional boundaries within helping relationships, surrounding yourself with positive people and affirmative and inspiring messages. Address any issues or problems so that they don’t build up. Give and receive love, kindness, and support. Spend time with people you care about and who care about you.

Psychological (the mind) – to learn, think, and grow
Psychological self-care activities might include personal and professional development. Give attention to things that are in your control (your sphere of influence). Take time for personal reflection. Notice your inner experiences, thoughts, and feelings. Cultivate self-awareness through things such as journalling, getting feedback from others, meditation, coaching/counselling, and consultation or supervision – places where you have the opportunity to grow, learn, and reflect.

Spiritual (the spirit) – to connect with essence, purpose, and meaning
Spiritual self-care might include prayer or meditation. You may want to visualize, practice gratitude, spend time in nature, and be aware of the non-material aspects of your life. Identify what is meaningful to you in your work and life.
