Creating A Summer Oasis: Essential Oils for Outdoor Entertaining
The slip and slide is up and ready for action, the hammock has been hung, and the grill is sizzling. Summer has arrived! Along with summer comes the fun of having friends and family over to enjoy the warm weather and the time spent together outdoors. If you want to enhance your outdoor experience and take it to the next level, it’s time to incorporate essential oils for entertaining into your outdoor celebrations.
Essential Oils for Setting the Summer Mood
When you think about setting a mood for entertaining, whether outdoors or indoors, there are many things to consider when creating a desired atmosphere and ambiance. Essential oils for summer are a fabulous way to set a summer mood.
When it comes to mood setting, Madagascar Vanilla oil is an incredibly versatile choice. It can be used in a variety of ways, whether it’s by diffusing the oil to fill your home or outdoor space with the feeling and scent of an inviting and warm atmosphere, using it as a personal fragrance, or even adding it to recipes for a memorable and unique flavor. Adding a drop of Madagascar Vanilla oil to your smoothie, coffee, or tea will add a captivating and smooth flavor to your beverage of choice.
Elevating Summer Recipes
Essential oils for cooking are incredibly effective in the kitchen and are known for their ability to elevate recipes, especially during summer. Essential oils can add an incredible flavor to any meal, but they also offer internal health benefits and give you a natural way to incorporate flavor into your food when a particular fresh ingredient is unavailable.*
Always a popular seasoning, Oregano essential oil has many benefits, including supporting healthy respiratory function and promoting healthy digestion when consumed internally.* This popular spice adds incredible flavor and depth to not only marinades but also salads and grilled dishes. Add one drop of Oregano essential oil to be used in place of dried oregano on pizza sauce, roasts, or spaghetti sauce.
Highlight your summer meals further by adding the distinctive taste of Pink Pepper essential oil to your recipes. Distilled from the fruit of a pink peppercorn tree, this spicy, fruity, and woody oil was once used as a herbal solution to health needs. When taken internally, Pink Pepper essential oil is known for supporting both a healthy metabolism and immune system.* Use it this summer to add a touch of spice to your salad dressings, marinades, and more.
Nourishing Your Skin
More than ever during the summer, it’s important to use sun protection during outdoor activities. With the right essential oils for outdoor lovers, there are many benefits and features for safeguarding skin from direct UV rays. With the right combination of suncare products, guests can enjoy a worry-free outdoor experience.
Try the doTERRA sun After Sun Restorative Body Spray after a day in the sun. The benefits of this product come from a blend of plant-based ingredients, including Japanese green tea and aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and a blend of CPTG® essential oils, including Copaiba, Lavender, Peppermint, Helichrysum, and Frankincense. Created for everyday use, the spray revitalizes the skin and provides much-needed moisture.
Staying Clean and Fresh
Outdoor living and entertaining during the summer months may mean a sink to wash hands is only sometimes available. To stay clean and fresh and protect yourself and guests during outdoor entertaining, especially when eating or snacking, try doTERRA On Guard® essential oil as a natural surface cleaner.
The doTERRA On Guard® Hand Sanitizing Mist has skin-nourishing and moisturizing properties and a citrus, spicy aroma. Still, it is 99.9% effective against the most common germs† with a quick-drying, fine mist. This spray is easily used when traveling or on the go, and makes sanitizing hands easy to do, no matter where you are, especially when soap and water may not be available.
Keeping Bugs at Bay
Nothing puts a damper on an outdoor party faster than bugs and insects.
To continue an enjoyable outdoor experience, whether it be dinner with friends, a hike, or just spending time in your yard, try using Terrashield® Spray as an effective bug repellent. The spray has a fresh and natural wood aroma from a blend of Citronella, Lemongrass, Thyme, Cedarwood, Geranium, and Peppermint essential oils in a sesame seed oil base. Not only is the spray convenient and easy to use but the safe and gentle blend of oils was designed not to irritate skin.
Enjoying Mosquito-Free Evenings
When you’re enjoying your time outdoors, and you see the mosquitos come out, you know that you will be itching for the next few days. Avoid the annoyance of mosquitoes on summer nights with the doTERRA Citronella essential oil.
When you diffuse Citronella essential oil, you can keep mosquitoes away, and it can also be applied directly to the skin when mixed with a carrier oil. Insects are often attracted to human scent, and Citronella essential oil helps to mask this, leaving you with a much more enjoyable outdoor experience.
