Buy Serenity, Get Lavender FREE

Twice a year doTERRA has a week long BOGO sale and today kicks off with Serenity and FREE Lavender. Serenity is great for aiding in getting a good night's sleep, relaxing massage, and chilling out after a stressful day.

Lavender is a power house oil... not only is it in the Serenity blend, but it's a must have oil when you are wanting to replace the junk in your medicine cabinet to go natural. Yes, it's commonly known for rest (I put it on my grandkids feet at bedtime when they stay over, and they are in dreamland in under 20 minutes), BUT did you know I also use it for:

• first aid: any bug bite, cut scrape or bruise, rash/skin irritation, and especially a burn. apply directly to the affected area and you will have relief. keep applying every few hours as needed. I got a bad burn on my finger from the stove, applied lavender right away and it took the pain out, took the red out, and didn't blister. If you have had too much sun, here is really nice recipe for making an after sun cooling spray.

• cooking: add 3 drops to a pitcher of lemonade or try this recipe for a lavender blueberry milkshake.

• diffusing: not only is it great to relax with, but it also helps freshen the air when there is some funky smells you want to get rid off. Mix with your favorite citrus oils in your diffuser and a drop or two of something like rosemary or basil for an uplifting clean scent. And you don't always need a diffuser, pop a few drops into your bath water for a spa like experience.
