Perfect Summertime Essential Oils

Why is it that we associate different smells and tastes with the seasons? For the summertime, it is all about long days in the sun, fresh fruits and veggies, the sweet smell of grass, and splashing in cold water. I love to diffuse anything and everything citrus! It just smells fresh and sweet, perfect for the long, hot summer days.

These are currently on rotation for daily use:

Lemon
Lime
Grapefruit
Wild Orange
Bergamot
Cedarwood
Lemongrass
Citrus Bliss*



I love adding a drop of lemon or orange to my ice water, instead of grabbing a LaCroix. Essential oils actually have a more pronounced taste than the carbonated alternative.

Here are my absolute favorite summer diffuser blends:

2 drops Wild Orange
2 drops Cedarwood
1 drop Rosemary
