Happy first week of June!
This month is all about the Father figures in our lives and showing them just as much unconditional love and support that they give. Let’s be honest.. they really deserve it! Being a father comes with just as many challenges, responsibilities, and rewards as being a mother.
Last year for Father’s Day, my dad and I went to the Disney innovations museum in San Francisco and we had a great time wandering around the city… we even went to the top of Lombard Street, the most crooked street in the city!!
Between now and Fathers Day (June 16th!) I want to focus on the men in our lives who, believe it or not, also LOVE essential oils and can benefit greatly from them just the same as we do. If you’re looking for the perfect Fathers Day gift you have come to the right place!
If your dad is a City Man
He loves to experiment with all things sourced from their elements and he appreciates some down time after keeping up with the hustle and bustle. He likes to “get back to his roots” once in awhile by:
-Diffusing the Motivate Blend while putting away the laundry
-Spraying the edges of his apartment with Peppermint to keep pests away
-Cooking with oils like Basil and Rosemary to impress the kids
-Keeping Peppermint at his desk in case a headache arises
-Diffusing the Purify Blend in the bathroom during parties
If your dad is a Country Man
He knows the value of hard work and living off the land so it’s no surprise that he encourages the use of essential oils in everyday life such as:
-Making a custom Petitgrain oil cologne that tingles the senses
-Using On Guard Cleaner Concentrate as his “just-about-everything” cleaner
-Diffusing Wild Orange in his truck on the way to a hard day’s work
-Applying the Deep Blue Rub after a day slinging hay
-Using TerraShield as an all-day outdoor protective blend
