💧Oil "highlight" - TerraShield🌳 🦟🪵🏕️
We don’t talk much about essential oils here as of late…but it’s not because we stopped using them, we just realized that there is SO much to talk about, about allllll the things - that we didn’t want to get stuck in one category and miss so many other ways we can live a more natural lifestyle. That being said…
We’re gonna talk about oils today 😉specifically we are going to highlight one of our favorite outdoor blends - TerraShield. This blend consists of several oils - Sesame Seed, Citronella, Lemongrass, Thyme, Cedarwood, Geranium, and Peppermint, and while we could go into depth about how amazing each and every one of these oils are, the reality is it’s the combination of them that makes it such a powerhouse blend.
But what good is a blend if you don’t know how to use it? Well - we can help with that! So going back to the very beginning (Check out an older-with, out of date promos, don’t worry Emmalee’s working on updating that!-Essential Oils Made Easy Class Video HERE)...
FIRST - we use and recommend dōTERRA essential oils.
Yes, there are many more options out there.
Yes, we know that there are cheaper options out there.
Yes, we’ve heard ALLLL the things.
We stand by our recommendations - we aren’t going to argue, but if you have questions and want to know more, make sure to contact us and we’ll chat. We wont specifically say dōTERRA each and every time we talk about the oils but unless we specify differently, we are always talking about using them.
SECOND - we do recommend you check out the old Essential Oils Made Easy Class video, but in case you don’t have time now, there are three ways we recommend to use essential oils - aromatically, topically, and internally.
👃 Aromatically is when you put oils in the diffuser, or humidifier, or diffusing jewelry etc.
🤚 Topically is when you physically put the oils ON you - now when you put the oils on your skin you can do that neatly (without a carrier oil) or diluted (with a carrier oil). Nine times out of 10 we are going to recommend using the oils diluted - not because we think you aren’t tough and aren’t able to handle it 😜 but because our bodies actually absorb the oils better when you use dilution (seriously - check out the video).
💧 Finally internally - and we do not recommend using TerraShield internally.
Okay - this outdoor blend is great at keeping the bugs at bay, through topical and aromatic use. We spray this oil over us when we are going to be in a bug infested area (especially with ticks mosquitos!) and when we sit on the porch or sit around the fire pit we diffuse it. It helps keep the area clear of bugs and helps us enjoy our time together more. One of the things we love the most about this natural bug repellent - is that we don’t feel the need to immediately shower when we use it! It’s safe and soft on skin - even on littles and dogs. The blend is great for minor skin irritations and sun exposure with a couple of add ins like Lavender and Helichrysum, but it’s also great for helping promote healthy cell function when you apply it to pulse points. You DO need to be careful not to get this in eye, ears, and noses - and again, it’s not recommended to use this internally. That includes for puppies and kids (it’s strange how warnings and recommendations are often the same for puppies and kids! 🤣😜). This means you might need to spray / apply the oil to your own hands first before wiping it across exposed areas. This application will also allow the oils to absorb faster so if puppies need to lick they shouldn’t ingest enough to bother them.
🎙️🎙️Testimony time!!! 🎙️🎙️
So we love to camp. ⛺️We don’t get to do that as often as we’d like but we truly LOVE being outdoors and away from everything and everyone. Bonus points if we don’t have cell service! 🙃 We ALWAYS have this with us when we are out there, and one time camping we ended up in a spot that had so…so…so many ticks and bugs. Emmalee really truly hates ticks and is allergic to most mosquitos, so she became vigilant in applying TerraShield to everyone every 2-4 hrs, depending on what we were doing…including allllll over the tent and bedding (because it’s so gentle and totally non toxic that also meant right over the tops of the pillows) and all over our two dogs. During our three day stay, we didn’t have ANY mosquito bites and only three ticks. Now…we aren’t saying that that’s the results YOU’LL get, but it's one of the reasons we don’t leave home without it in the summer time.
Well great - now that we’ve highlighted this amazing oil 🥰we’d be MEAN if we didn’t tell you how you could get your hands on it!!
