It’s school holiday!!! Wishing all parents and children safe trips and journey mercy. Create loads of fun memories with your young ones.
And remember to bring your natural first aid kit along.
🌱 what I pack on my trips will always include:
Peppermint | cooling & revitalising
➡️ rub onto temples to ease head tension and promote alertness

Lavender | soothing & calming

➡️ add to facial serum (along with lavender) for radiant skin, healthy cell regeneration, reducing the appearance of scarring and blemishes
Melaleuca (Tea Tree) | cleansing & purifying

➡️ keep it handy for scratches, scrapes, bites, stings and skin abrasions
➡️ dilute and apply to feet to keep fungal issues at bay
➡️ add a few drops to your cleaning spray, mop bucket or laundry load for extra antiseptic properties
Lemon | zesty & uplifting
➡️ add a drop to your glass of water to drink throughout the day to aid in digestion and detoxification
