Long hikes, intense bike rides, weekend construction projects, and surfing all have one thing in common… the potential for sore, achy muscles!

Whatever you spend your summer hours doing, make sure you have a tube of Deep Blue® Rub handy to provide a cooling and soothing sensation!

Peppermint essential oil is a must-have summer oil especially when it comes to relaxing and putting your feet up after a long day!

The next time you’re looking to pamper your feet, treat them to a cooling foot soak with epsom salt and Peppermint Oil.

Depending on your preferences or other needs, you can also add drops of some of your other favorite oils as well (or diffuse them) for a fully custom spa-like experience!

With summer comes the intense summer sun!

Be proactive with staying cool by quickly applying a couple drops of Peppermint essential oil to the back of your neck for an instant cooling sensation.

If you’re not a fan of Peppermint (or want to compliment it), other oils that have a similar effect include Spearmint essential oil (which has less menthol and a slightly different aroma) or Eucalyptus essential oil.

Feel free to also pop a Peppermint Beadlet into your mouth or add a drop of Peppermint essential oil to your cold drinking water for added cooling sensations!

After a day tanning on the beach, it’s time to clean up and enjoy a night out!

But keep the fancy, overpriced perfumes at home and embrace the essence of the sea by making a quick (2 ingredient) coconut-lime body moisturizer!

Simply get a tablespoon of coconut oil, add a drop or two of Lime essential oil, and rub on.

*Only use this delicious, skin-satisfying blend during the evening as citrus oils like Lime are photosensitive.

Skip the sugary, artificially flavored drinks and make your own with 2 ingredients: water and essential oil!

A drop or two of Lemon, Grapefruit, or Lime essential oil in your water makes for a quick, refreshing, all natural beverage that hydrates with benefits.

You can also add it to fruit infused water and even your own Seltzer water!
