Summer adventures come with a few bumps along the way - bike spills, scraped knees, and tumbles at the park. That’s where this DIY “Owie Spray” comes in handy. It’s gentle, effective, and a must-have for your summer first aid kit.

Here’s how to make it:

In a 2 oz spray bottle, combine:
10 drops Frankincense
10 drops Lavender
10 drops Tea Tree
Top with 1 oz witch hazel and 1 oz water. Shake before use.

Spray directly on the area and let it air dry. For an extra boost, follow up with Myrrh Touch - one of my skin favorites.

When the temps rise, I’m all about frozen snacks that taste amazing and leave out all the extra sugar. These strawberry mango popsicles are one of my favorite ways to cool down and sneak in something refreshing.

Here’s how to make them:

Blend 2 cups of fresh mango (or pineapple if mango isn’t your thing)
Add 1 tablespoon of lime juice
Add 5 drops of Lime essential oil

Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture into your popsicle molds about three-quarters full. Slice up about 6 strawberries and press a few slices into each mold. Freeze for at least 3 hours, then enjoy.

These are bright, fruity, and the perfect treat for hot afternoons.

Summer fun usually comes with some uninvited guests - mosquitoes, ants, spiders, and more. Thankfully, there’s a natural way to keep them away without reaching for harsh chemicals or sprays loaded with DEET.

Here are some of my favorite oils that help keep pests at bay:

TerraShield
Arborvitae
Lemongrass
Lemon Eucalyptus
Peppermint
Tea Tree

You can use these oils in a DIY spray or roller blend, or simply add them to your diffuser when you're relaxing outdoors. They work just as well - sometimes better - and smell a whole lot nicer.

If you’ve been looking for a natural way to smell like a summer escape - minus the synthetic fragrance headache - this one’s for you.

In a 10 mL roller, combine:

5 drops Madagascar Vanilla
4 drops Green Mandarin (bonus - it’s not photosensitive)

Spending your summer near the pool? This refreshing fruit dip is quick to make, full of flavor, and pairs perfectly with whatever fresh fruit you have on hand.

Here’s the recipe:
½ cup Greek yogurt
1½ tablespoons honey
3 drops Madagascar Vanilla
3 drops Wild Orange

Stir everything together and let it chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. Then grab your favorite fruit, dip, and enjoy.

Pro tip: I also love mixing this right into a bowl of chopped fruit for a creamy, protein-packed fruit salad.

Even the most careful sun-lovers get a little too much sometimes. Whether you lost track of time outside or forgot to reapply sunscreen, this after-sun spray is a gentle way to soothe and support your skin.

10 drops Frankincense
10 drops Lavender

2 oz distilled water

Shake before each use and mist over sun-exposed skin for a calming, cooling effect.

Summer brings sunshine, late nights outside… and unfortunately, bugs. Even with TerraShield on hand, bites still sneak through now and then.

The good news? There’s a roller blend that helps ease the itch and calm the skin in no time.
Here’s my go-to bug bite blend:

In a 10 mL roller bottle, combine:

-10 drops Purify
-5 drops Lavender
-5 drops Copaiba
-5 drops Peppermint
-Top off with fractionated coconut oil.

I keep this one ready to roll all summer long.

When the heat cranks up and cooking feels like too much effort, I turn to one of my favorite easy solutions - a cold, nutrient-packed smoothie.

Here’s my go-to recipe:

-2 cups frozen fruit (berry blends or pineapple-mango are perfect)

-1 scoop of your favorite doTERRA Protein (I rotate between Vanilla and Chocolate)
-1 to 1½ cups milk of choice

Blend until smooth and enjoy - makes about 2 servings. Enjoy!

Not a big water drinker? You’re not alone. But instead of reaching for sugary drinks or artificial flavorings, try something simple and natural that actually makes hydration enjoyable.

Here’s what I like to do:

-Set up a little “hydration station” with citrus oils like Lemon, Lime, or Grapefruit
-Add sliced fruit like strawberries, pineapple, or mango to your water for extra flavor
-Make a lighter version of lemonade using less sugar and fresh ingredients
-Add a packet of MetaPWR Recharge to your water to boost hydration with electrolytes and a refreshing flavor

Why it matters: your body is made up of around 80% water. Staying hydrated keeps everything running smoothly - from digestion to brain function to that healthy summer glow.

What’s your favorite way to drink more water during the day?

-doTERRA Mineral sunscreen
-TerraShield for those uninvited flying guests
-After-sun spray for cooling and comfort
-Correct-X for little scrapes or chafing
-Lavender for anything red, itchy, or irritated
-Myrrh Touch for dry patches or cuticles
-A reusable water bottle with a drop of Lemon
-A good book
-And of course… a swimsuit that makes you feel great, because life’s too short to sit this one out

What’s in your beach bag that I need to know about?

My Story

About 7 years ago my husband brought some Essential Oils into our home. I thought they were weird. They smelled funny, in small little bottles and thought they were just plain ODD! I refused to use them. I really had a hang up on the thinking of “what else will people come up with to sell? it’s all a money scheme!” 2 months went by and I had burned myself and it hurt so I thought what have I got to lose by trying this oils called Lavender. So I did and it actually worked. I did not want to admit to my husband that they really did work. I just kind of shrugged my shoulder and made a funny face when he asked me how my hand was doing. The next morning I got a book out that he had laying around and started reading about the science behind it, saw the chemistry too (didn’t quite understand it, but enough to know it was legit!) and then noticed there was an oil called Frankincense. I remember that word. It was a gift to the Christ Child and that was when light bulb went off in my head. I was curious! I wanted to learn more but didn’t want to tell anyone. Just keep it to myself and my family. Well, I had a profound experience with an oil and one of my children that really helped when I had been looking for a solution. Then it happened, my heart was speaking to me. Tell me I needed to share these oils, people needed to know there are options. After praying about this, I knew it was the right thing to do. I needed to start teaching others. Now it’s what I do, it’s my passion. I love teaching others, helping others, holding their hands. I feel purpose with this business and it is now my profession.
