After a little trial and error, I found the perfect combo! See what made the cut? Let’s talk about your favorite ways to stay cool this summer! Share your go-to blends or cooling tips in the comments below. Happy blending!

Yesterday was a special day as I witnessed the magical process of yarrow distillation into hydrosol! I couldn’t resist creating a custom blend featuring yarrow essential oil, along with frankincense and wild orange. The aroma is a perfect balance—floral yet grounding, with a refreshing citrus twist!
Happy blending!

Using the stunning blue essential oil of German Chamomile today feels like a dream! Its sweet, floral, and herbaceous scent is not just soothing but also incredibly versatile. When blended with peppermint and blood orange, it creates a truly unique aromatic experience.

Peppermint adds a refreshing, crisp note that energizes and invigorates, making this blend perfect for those midday slumps. It complements the calming nature of chamomile, creating a balance between relaxation and rejuvenation. Meanwhile, blood orange introduces a cheerful, zesty aroma that uplifts your mood and adds a hint of sweetness.

Together, these scents harmonize beautifully. The floral notes of chamomile unite with the invigorating freshness of peppermint and the fruity sweetness of blood orange, creating a blend that’s not only delightful to the senses but also uplifting for the spirit. This trio is perfect for self-care moments, whether you’re unwinding after a long day or starting your morning on a high note.

It's vacation time! 🏖️ This summer, I packed my trip to the beautiful Iowa lake with some of my favorite aromatherapy products to keep me refreshed and bug-free. I’m loving the all-natural adult bug spray—it's a lifesaver against those pesky insects! The anti-itch roller bottle has been my go-to for any unexpected bites, providing instant relief.

And let’s not forget the calming lavender hydrosol; it’s perfect for refreshing my face after a long day in the sun. I also brought along my face cleanser and serum from my upcoming hands-on workshop in August, which has been keeping my skin hydrated and glowing. ☀️✨

Want to grab these fabulous products for your own summer getaway? Stop by Richfield Farmers Market this Saturday to pick up these same items (excluding the workshop goodies) and enjoy a natural and delightful vacation experience! 🌿🛍️

As I prepare for my upcoming vacation, I've been having a blast creating custom essential oil blends that not only uplift my spirit but also keep me grounded. Today’s custom blend is using three of the five essential oils I’m bringing with me!

I combined 2 drops of Bergamot for that citrusy brightness that just screams summer, 1 drop of Vetiver to anchor me with its earthy, calming vibes, and 1 drop of Ylang Ylang to add a touch of floral sweetness. The result? A beautiful blend that captures the essence of roots, flowers, and fruits all in one!

This blend is perfect for those moments when I want to unwind after a long day of exploring or simply enjoy a refreshing scent while lounging by the lake. If you’re looking to enhance your vacation experience, consider blending your own oils for a personal touch!

I couldn’t create the exact aroma of car exhaust, engine oil, old spice, and ci**rs with essential oils for my dad, so I decided to do something unique instead!
Today’s custom blend is a heartfelt tribute to him, combining the warm notes of Benzoin, earthy Patchouli, rich Cedarwood, sweet Anise, and zesty Wild Orange. It’s more than just a scent; it’s a celebration of memories and love. If you’re looking to create something special that reminds you of your own dad, come blend with me at the Richfield Farmers Market this Saturday! Let’s create your unique aroma together
