  • DIY Bug Bite Balm!

    DIY Bug Bite Balm!

    Everyone loves summertime, from swimming in the pool, to going on hikes, and having lots of outdoor parties and barbecues. The one downside to being outside… getting bug bites! We tried this DIY Bug Bite Balm and we had to share with everyone! The “pulling” action from the activated charcoal helps remove the toxins from the stings and bites, while the soothing properties from the lavender essential oil help the inflammation and itching. Plus, the coconut oil and shea butter offer a nice anti-bacterial and rejuvenating effect (respectively).

    Ingredients

    3 Tablespoons Coconut Oil

    1 ½ Tablespoons Shea Butter

    15-21 Drops of Organic Lavender Essential Oil

    1 Tablespoon Activated Charcoal (grab some from our bulk section!)

    1 Reusable Container (we used U-Konserve’s Big Mini Stainless Steel Container)


    Method

    1. Melt down coconut oil and shea butter.

    2. Once fully melted, add essential oil and activated charcoal. Mix well!

    3. Carefully spoon the liquid into reusable container. Allow to rest for 2-3 hours.

    4. When needed, rub the balm on the affected area, allowing it to run into the skin. Place a bandage on top of the balm and allow it to work its magic before rinsing off later.

    NOTE: During extremely hot days, you want to make sure to keep your new bug bite balm in a cool spot so it doesn’t melt.

  • DIY After-Swim Chlorine Neutralizing Spray

    DIY After-Swim Chlorine Neutralizing Spray

    Summer is the best time of the year to go swimming! Unfortunately, summer is also the worst time for chlorine. Some of the unwanted benefits of chlorine is that it dries out your hair and your skin- which is never fun to deal with in the hot summer heat. But good news! We have a DIY After-Swim Chlorine Neutralizing Spray that is simple to make and is perfect to keep in your bag when you go to the pool this season.


    Ingredients:

    1/4 Cup Filtered Water

    1/4 Teaspoon Powdered Vitamin C

    Essential Oils (we recommend using 1 drop Orange)

    2 Ounce Blue Glass Spray Bottle


    Method:

    1. Add water to glass spray bottle.

    2. Add powdered vitamin C to spray bottle.

    3. Add drop of essential oil.

    4. Put lid on bottle and shake to combine.

    5. Add to hair and/or skin after swimming and rub in. Shower as usual when you return home.

    NOTE: You might want to use this solution within 1-2 days of making it as it might lose its effectiveness afterwards.
