Tired of battling stubborn w**ds? Here's a natural solution that's both effective and easy to make! However, this is not a spray that you want to use in gardens or near plants that you do not want to kill. I use this spray in paths, on the driveway, anywhere I'm not concerned about surrounding plants. Saturate the w**d in full sun if possible. Apply as often as necessary to kill the w**d.

In an 8 oz spray bottle, add:
- 10 drops of Cinnamon Bark Oil
- Fill the rest with a mix of water and/or white vinegar

I've found that water usually does the trick, but for those tougher w**ds like crabgrass, or ones that seem impossible to kill, opt for white vinegar instead.

Say goodbye to unwanted plants and hello to a w**d-free garden! Give this DIY w**d killer a try and let us know how it worked in the comments.

Want a quick and easy DIY recipe to enjoy both oils? Try this Energizing Room Spray:
Energizing Room Spray Recipe:
10 drops Peppermint oil
10 drops Wild Orange oil
1 cup distilled water
Simply combine the oils and water in a spray bottle, shake well, and spritz around your home for an instant pick-me-up.

Hey sun-lovers! Stay safe in the sun this summer and avoid those toxic sunscreens at all costs.

Conventional sunscreens often contain harmful ingredients like:

1. Oxybenzone: Absorbed easily, linked to allergies and hormone disruption.
2. Octinoxate: Affects thyroid hormones, may cause allergies.
3. Homosalate: Penetrates skin, disrupts hormones, produces toxic byproducts.
4. Octisalate: Absorbs at high levels, linked to allergies and endocrine effects.
5. Octocrylene: Absorbs at high levels, may harm aquatic life, potential carcinogen contamination.
6. Avobenzone: Unstable, can cause allergies, disrupts hormones….

Instead, opt for a safe, mineral based alternative, like the doTERRA’s Sun Line, which we will talk about in the next post!
