Stay cool w/ Spearmint

This essential oil has been my favorite part summer so far! There is one "side of effect" though occasional states of BLISS! My "experiMINTing" of DIY delights has raged from skin care to culinary creations and some recipes can be found below. I am especially excited because not only is this oil special due to it's limited availability I don't really care for the scent peppermint. Spearmint takes things to a whole new level for me and to experience it has been heavenly!

Recipes to stay cool!

Watermelon Mint Sorbet

Take one watermelon as big as your head and puree it. Add one drop of spearmint EO, 1/2 a cup of sugar or natural sweeter and freeze!

After Sun Spray

In a 2oz glass spritzer fill w/ distilled water and add 2 drops of spearmint and 6 drops of lavender EO. Keep chilled in the fridge. This is cooling to burns and supports healthy skin.

EyeSee Nirvana

Soak washcloths in an ice bath of water, 2 drops spearmint, cypress, and grapefruit. Cool down while reducing dark circles, puffiness, and toning skin.

(The über cooling minty oils such as Spearmint should be avoided during pregnancy because they are so stimulating. Dilute w/ carrier oil for the kiddos. )
