And lastly, your Daily Challenge!

Today we want you to try both frankincense and lavender. Here are a bunch of ideas!

◉ Add a drop of frankincense to your face lotion and apply to your face and neck 

◉ Diffuse frankincense either alone or with wild orange for a boost to your mood

◉ Rub 1-2 drops frankincense on the back of your neck and behind your ears to promote feelings of wellbeing

◉ Rub 1-2 drops frankincense on the bottom of your feet for immune support 

◉ Take one to two drops frankincense in a veggie capsule to support healthy cellular function

◉ Mix 1-2 drops lavender (and/or frankincense!) with your hand lotion to help promote supple skin during dry times of the year

◉ Try a drop of lavender on a skin irritation (such as a minor burn, abrasion, or bug bite)

◉ Diffuse lavender during the dinner/bedtime witching-hour and notice if your normally-crazy children mellow out a bit 

◉ Use lavender to promote a restful night’s sleep. Rub a few drops on the bottom of your feet, on your wrists, behind your ears, or even place a drop on your pillow or the top edge of your sheets!

Bonus: If you have children at home, spend a few extra minutes with them at bedtime and rub a drop of lavender on their feet or spine. If you have a spouse or partner, offer a foot massage and share the benefits of more restful sleep with your loved ones. (Did that sound like a commercial?? It kind of felt like one as I was writing it…)

There are so many ways to try lavender. whether one of our ideas or one of your own!
