Terrassential Oils & Recipes

Are you ready for a “Little Black Book” EO Classic? Over the next few days, I’m dialing into my “always on hand” recipes and products I use on a regular basis and share with everyone.

Today, we’re reintroducing this IMMUNITY POWERHOUSE–roll it on daily to keep your immune system strong and use it when you are feeling a bit under the weather to give your body the support it needs.

F.L.O.O.T. Immunity Blend

💧 10 drops Frankincense
💧 10 drops Lemon
💧 10 drops On Guard
💧 10 drops Oregano
💧 10 drops Tea Tree
💧 5 drops Melissa [Optional]

I like to add Melissa and give myself an additional “power-up”.

Roll it on the bottoms of your feet when you wake up and before you go to bed. I also like to roll it along my spine when I’m not feeling quite like myself.

Is F.L.O.O.T. in your Little Black Book?

If the hunt for a non-toxic nail polish remover has been on your list, good old Lemongrass essential oil is perfect!

All you need is 2-3 drops of Lemongrass Essential Oil, a cotton ball, and some patience (about 2-3 minutes per finger).

Apply 2-3 drops of Lemongrass to your finger and allow it to sit. After 2-3 minutes, wipe off with a cotton ball and move on to the next nail.

Did you know that using a Vitamin C Serum along with Yarrow Pom can brighten your skin tone, fight fine lines, and reduce redness (plus a ton of other health benefits)?

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that fights everyday free radicals and is good for your immune system to boot. Because of its antioxidant properties, Vitamin C supports your skin's natural turnover and regeneration process (and helps your body repair damaged skin cells).

Pro Tip: doTERRA’s Brightening Gel is a great source of vitamin C for your skin! It’s
micro encapsulated technology protects vitamin C from breakdown due to oxygen exposure, ensuring both the stability and efficient delivery of the vitamin to the skin.

Do you use Yarrow Pom and/or the brightening gel as part of your skin care routine?

We all know what a POWERHOUSE oil Oregano is, if you are new here, here is exactly why you need this oil in your home.

⭐ Oregano is usually used more often in the fall and winter months during a time generally known for an increase in the sneezes and sniffles. Did you know that one drop of Oregano oil can help maintain immune function when taken daily?

⭐Oregano is perfect to keep in your kitchen - just dip a toothpick in your oil and swirl it into sauces, soups, and more!

Pro Tip → Oregano is a HOT oil. Always dilute before applying topically.

Getting overheated? 🔥 Peppermint to the rescue! ❄️

Swimming and air conditioning can only help so much. I love whipping up this cool spray for those HOT days.

In a 4 oz bottle mix:

💧 15 drops Peppermint
💧 Top with water.

Shake and spray over your body (under your clothes 😉). And allow the cooling sensation to take effect (about 5 minutes).

Enjoy!

Always a good memory to look at.

Ever wonder how long it takes for oils to work in your body?

Lips are sensitive. When you are lounging in the sun, your lips can dry out. There are three things you can do to help keep them healthy and smooth all summer long.

Drink lots of water and stay hydrated.
Keep your lips moisturized. (doTERRA’s Lip Balm is perfect for this).
Use a lip scrub.

Easy DIY Lip Scrub & Plumper 💋

⚈ 2 TBL Coconut Oil (solid)
⚈ 1 TBL Raw Sugar
⚈ 4-5 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil

Mix together in a bowl, and transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate to keep solid. Gently take a pea-sized amount and rub on lips to exfoliate.

It's been so cold, which means colds and coughs in my house. What's your go to cold remedy?

🎄 Deck The Halls Room Spray

2 oz Witch Hazel

Top with Distilled Water. Shake and Spray!

Do you have a favorite Room Spray so far? There are so many options!

You have probably had Peppermint Brownies by now, but what about Peppermint fudge?

✔️ 5 oz can of evaporated milk
✔️ 12 tablespoons of butter
✔️ 3 cups granulated sugar
✔️ 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate
✔️ 7 oz jar of marshmallow creme
✔️ 10 drops of Peppermint Oil

Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper. Place the evaporated milk, butter, and sugar into a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Stir continually and bring to a rolling boil. Continue to stir until a candy thermometer reads 234℉ (around 4 minutes). Remove the pan from heat and stir in chocolate and marshmallow creme. Add Peppermint oil and stir. Pour fudge into the prepared pan and let cool. Use a knife to cut into 1-inch squares (or use small cookie cutters!)

Is your mouth watering thinking about these? I know mine is!

PS - also try spearmint! I think it might be even better than peppermint! 🤷🏻‍♀️🙈

This one is so simple! All you need are dry pinecones (bonus points if you collect them yourself!) and your favorite essential oil. 🌲

If you do happen to grab your own pinecones from outside, be sure to bake them in the oven at 200℉ for at least 30 minutes or until the pinecones have opened. Put one drop of essential oil on each pine cone.

👉 Some suggestions include Cassia, Cinnamon, Clove, Holiday Joy, Holiday Peace, Wild Orange, Siberian Fir, Douglas Fir, Balsam Fir... Place pinecones in a decorative bowl and voila you have a natural room freshener!
