Summer Vibes with essential oils

“I know that if odour were visible, as colour is, I'd see the summer garden in rainbow clouds.” Robert Bridges

The best time of the year is upon us: summertime. It's when we get outdoors and connect with nature more whether it's through a day at the beach or a lovely walk.

It's when we skip our nightly Netflix binges and opt for dinner and drinks with friends. It's when the weight of the world starts to feel a little lighter, even if only for a minute. Enjoy every minute you have by planning some activities, reading summer romance novels and hosting your fair share of barbecues and picnics.

Diffusing essential oils is a great way to capture the vibes of summer by bringing the smell of summer into our home for you and others to enjoy as well as providing a fresh home. 

Here are a few sunshine essential oils and their benefits:

Lemon Essential Oil, Citrus limon

The thought of lemons brings spring cleaning to mind! It refreshes and uplifts helping us take a leap of faith in decisions and helps reduce the feeling of fatigue.

Sweet Orange Essential Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis

It also refreshes and uplifts and helps reduce the feeling of nervous tension. It can also support the immune system and is such a bright aroma it helps clear the mind.

Frankincense Essential Oil, Boswellia carterii

Use during meditation, yoga, good for balancing, lifting spirits, improving focus, anxiety, spiritual awareness
