Summer Essentials

Excited for the summer? We are too! But before we jump right into the hot days, here are your must haves to kick off the 2019 summer fun.

LLV + Mito2Max - Nutriton is key to your overall wellness and with the kids home for the summer this mama is going to need all the extra energy I can get.

Sunscreen - You MUST do your research and use natural sunscreen that uses ONLY good ingredients that not only protect you from the sun but also is good for your skin/body. That is why we have only used Elkhaart sunscreen for four years now thanks to the wonderful and transparent Jess Lockhart. So many false labels out there mama that give false thoughts.

Bug Spray - Terrashield is an awesome outdoor bug repellent blend. You can buy it in a spray bottle or in a 15ml bottle. We like to add oils like geranium, purify, lemongrass, and peppermint to help not only keep the pesky mosquitos away but also flies, ticks, and other critters found in nature.

Hand Sanitizer - If you are like us in the summer time you tend to eat on the go and with your hands a lot more too. We have On Guard Hand sanitizer in numerous rooms, in garage, as well as every vehicle so we are prepared.

First Aid Kit - Find all the details on our natural first aid kit here.

Owie Spray - This is another spray that we have numerous bottles of around because with warm weather comes more adventure which results in more owies.

2oz spray bottle with:
- 10-20 drops each lavender, frankincense, and melealuca.
- 1/2 filled with coconut oil
- 1/2 filled with water.
Spray to affected area of concern.

After Sun Spray - This is such an amazing soothing and rejuvenating recipe that is so refreshing to the skin after a day in the sun. Whether you got too much sun and you need some relief or you just want to keep that skin looking fresh and smooth this recipe is for you. My whole family uses it.

Outdoor Essential Oil Safety

The sun is inviting and it’s often a boost our mood to go outside and get that natural vitamin D. However, be aware that some of your family’s favorite citrus oils should be avoided topically before direct sunlight or exposure to artificial UV rays. Photosensitivity is real people I have seen it happen to to many people so please be safe.

Bucket List

With all the good trails you will be hitting up, parks to play on, splash pads to dominate, activities + crafts to conquer, and outdoor events you don't want to miss out on this summer. We set high intentions every summer with no expectations so we are never out to be disappointed just on an adventure every day.
