Summer

Lake House Room Spray


My summers were often spent at my family’s lake house on the Minnesota Canada border. Days (and nights) were filled with fishing, swimming, hiking, camp fires, and board games. The air was scented with a wonderful blend of evergreens, fresh-cut fire wood, and water. This homemade room spray recipe of Pine, Cedarwood, Lavender and Spearmint captures that memory perfectly for me. Plus it’s calming, grounding, and balancing.

To make room spray:

  • Fill 8 oz glass spray bottle about 3/4 full with distilled water
  • Fill most of the rest of the way full with Witch Hazel
  • 10 drops Pine essential oil
  • 10 drops Cedarwood essential oil
  • 10 drops Lavender essential oil
  • 10 drops Spearmint drops essential oil
  • Put on sprayer top and shake well to mix

To use: Shake bottle gently before each use. Spray into the air to freshen room. Use as often as needed.

Summer Sunset Room Spray


Summer sunsets and summer nights are hard to beat. You can still feel the warmth of the sun on your skin, but the air begins to cool and things start to slow down, giving a chance to reflect on the day. This summer sunset air freshener blend reflects that calm, grateful, peaceful feeling. The Patchouli essential oil is grounding and encourages reflection and self acceptance. The Ylang Ylang essential oil is the oil of the heart and helps connect us to our inner joy and being in the moment. Sandalwood essential oil is grounding, helping to calm and reduce stress. And sweet Orange essential oil is very uplifting and opens your heart to accept the goodness that life is offering.

To make room spray:

  • Fill 8 oz glass spray bottle about 3/4 full with distilled water
  • Fill most of the rest of the way full with Witch Hazel

For the fragrance that came to each was like a memory of dewy mornings of unshadowed sun in some land of which the fair world in Spring is itself but a fleeting memory…
