It’s June and the bugs have arrived with the warm weather. Try using this tried and true plant-based ingredient to protect you and your family.
Lemongrass works to repel a variety of pests. The scent of lemongrass essential oil is one of our favorites, but thankfully it’s not a favorite scent of most bugs.
Conventional bug repellants like DEET are insecticides based on chemicals used in warfare, and have been linked to nervous system disorders as well as seizures. (EPA). When you use essential oils, what you’re using is the life force of the plant, which is very powerful.
Our skin is the largest organ of our body and absorbs much of what we apply, so using less toxic ingredients seems like a good choice.
Try our Organic Lemongrass essential oil roll-on, the perfect pocket-sized oil, pre-diluted with organic coconut oil for easy and safe application on the go.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and if there’s one thing you hear more than anything it’s how important self-care is to overall wellbeing. What does that mean? Just as every person is an individual, what feeds our soul and nourishes our spirit—and what we need at this moment in our life—looks very different for each person and may change throughout our lives. The challenge is finding and creating habits that fit best with your lifestyle. The great news is that establishing one good habit feeds another. For example, if you exercise more, you are more likely to get better sleep, which will in turn help to clear your mind and regain your focus.
