Essential Oil Summer Diffuser Blends

June 22, 2020

My favorite essential oil summer diffuser blends.  These essential oil diffuser blends will have your home smelling fresh and inviting without the toxic chemicals.

“I just love summer, and sun, and all things hot.”  Name that movie. 🙂  But really, if someone were to ask me what words described summer for me, it would be fresh, clean, breezy, tropical, fresh flowers.  So many words evoke summer for me.  These summer diffuser blends will make your home smell all of those things.

We should talk about artificial fragrances again.  Fragrance, or parfume, can be any one of 3,000 different toxins.  Fragrance is in EVERYTHING.  Some of the biggest offenders are:

Dryer sheets and laundry detergent
Candles, plug-ins and wax burners
Personal care products (makeup, lotion, shampoo)
Hand soaps 
Household cleaners
Pads and tampons

These essential oil diffuser blends will have your home smelling fresh and inviting without the toxic chemicals.

 

Fragrance Sensitivity

Fragrance sensitivity happens when an individual displays signs of irritation or an allergic reaction due to ingredients in fragrances. Common symptoms of fragrance sensitivity can be categorized into nasal (sneezing, itchy eyes, asthma, headaches) and skin reactions (itching, burning, redness). 

Since fragrance is used in so many household items, exposure can be constantly occurring and usually increases when we spend more time indoors (think colder months). What’s worse, it’s often difficult to identify the source of the allergy since so many complex chemical formulas are used in our everyday products.

Symptoms of Fragrance Sensitivity

The symptoms of fragrance sensitivity can vary.  The frequency and level of sensitivity can differ from one person to another. Symptoms can include:

  • Headaches
  • Nausea
  • Skin redness 
  • Skin itching and burning
  • Watery, itchy and red eyes
  • Sneezing
  • Runny nose
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Chest tightness
  • Worsening of asthma symptoms

Fragrance can possibly also be a neurotoxin, causing brain issues.  Fortunately, diffusing high quality essential oils, using fragrance free and other natural products can help remove all the symptoms caused by fragrance sensitivity.

I’ll take some snow with a side of snow and more I’ll take some snow with a side of snow and more snow. Have I mentioned we love snow? Buuutttt....living in our 5th wheel in the snow hasn’t been as amazing as we’d hoped. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Luckily that’s all changing soon. Stay tuned! 😘
A little throwback to when I was at my fittest. D A little throwback to when I was at my fittest. 
Do I still look like this? Nope. Am I okay with it? 100%. It took me almost a year of traveling to be content without a gym. I have a workout routine, but I missed the heavy lifting for a long time. I have come to accept that everything has a season, and right now I’m in a season of traveling and enjoying life as it comes. There’s plenty of time to get back in the gym. 💪🏼
I debated for awhile whether I’d share our sweet I debated for awhile whether I’d share our sweet girl’s story, but if it can help one family, it’s worth it. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Audrey was diagnosed with pediatric acute-onset neuropsychiatric syndrome (PANS) this fall. Before last summer I had never heard of PANS or PANDA. One of the blessings of traveling is meeting new families; one of which had a daughter Audrey’s age with PANDA. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When my friend described what her daughter had been through, I started crying. She was describing Audrey. Extreme anxiety (especially separation), rage, tics, irritability, issues with food, sensory issues, regressions, night terrors. I had no idea all these things could be linked. 
After years of thinking we were terrible parents there was some hope that maybe there was more behind what was going on. 😭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We started treatment in September for walking pneumonia (no clue she had it, and no idea how long) and her other PANS symptoms, and saw improvement for about 2 weeks, but it’s gotten worse since. We see a different doc next week and I pray they can find a remedy that will help us get our little girl back. Until then we just take it one minute at a time, because that’s what you do with these kids.
Today my sweet girl turns 9. 🎉 Her last year in Today my sweet girl turns 9. 🎉 Her last year in single digits. Her golden birthday. 🥰 ⠀
⠀
She is my strong willed child. She questions everything (which I know is a good thing but man it’s sometimes tiring right now 🤣). She loves hard. She wants to do all the things in life, which I admire. ⠀
⠀
This hasn’t been an easy year for her. She misses her friends so much. Change isn’t her favorite, but I know she has enjoyed seeing so much on our travels. ⠀
🎊 Happy birthday baby girl! 🎊
