I love summer!  slowing things down a little, spending lots of time with family, feeling the warmth of the sun, enjoying water in all forms- pools, beaches, rivers, and lakes, taking long walks
feeling sand, dirt, and grass on my feet, catching up on reading, and watching sunrises and sunsets. There’s so much to love about summer!!
And I love the SCENTS of summer – pine, cedar, and cypress remind me of time spent at the lake and hikes along the California Coast … citrus scents like lemon, tangerine, lime, grapefruit, and orange bring back the feeling of the warm summer sun … peppermint and spearmint have a cool, refreshing scent that when combined with other scents can smell like the beach or a chilly mojito … sandalwood transports me to a magical sunset or walk along a tropical beach … the combination of lavender, spearmint, and lime is the closest thing I’ve found to the calming scent of ocean air.  It’s amazing how a simple scent can whisk me away. I can be washing a sink full of dishes but smelling essential oils diffusing in the air can transport me back to wonderful summer memories and time spent with family and friends.

Hi Sarah
question for you, … why do I see some diffuser recipes (on Pinterest) where they put like up to 30 drops and some other only like 6 ?
And same thing for roller bottle… for a 0ml, some recipes states up to 45 drops and other more like 8-10 drops..I’m confused…
can you help this newbie !!
Annie
Hi Annie,
I’m in the camp that uses 8-10 drops (or fewer) in roller bottles and 5-7 drops in diffuser blends.
I use essential oils in a lot of things, and I use EOs pretty much every day, but I also believe that it’s best to use as little as you can to get the result you want.
Essential oils are powerful. They work wonders. But if you overuse them by putting too many drops in a roller or diffusing too much and for too long, then those same powerful essential oils can lead to adverse reactions. Sensitivities can develop right away or they might develop after years of overuse.
