6 Clever Ways To Use Your Favorite Summer Essential Oil Blends:

One of the best things about learning how to use essential oils is finding clever ways to put each to use in our daily routines. Rather it’s a diffuser recipe to brighten a space or a blend for essential oil jewelry to lift your mood – essential oils are what multitasking dreams are made of! Here’s a handful of ways we love to use essentials for summer. 

1. Boho DIY Reed Diffuser 

While diffusing recipes is one of the easiest ways to enjoy your blends, some spaces just don’t have room for a diffuser. (And plug-in air fresheners are not an option in our house.) So when I want to create a subtle ambiance for those spaces in our home that aren’t ideal for diffusers, such as the laundry room, I turn to an essential oil reed diffuser. Want to make your own? Here’s how! 

2. Take Summer With You Wherever You Go: Use Essential Oil Jewelry 

Essential oil diffuser jewelry is a must in my summer capsule wardrobe. They make it so easy to take oils with you – without carrying a thing. No worries about anything leaking your beach bag or the temperature getting too hot for oils. Here are three ways to add a blend to essential oil jewelry.

  • For diffuser bracelets, drop a single oil from the blend onto each bead, like these rosewood beads. This works incredibly for bracelet diffuser stacks. 
  • If you’re wearing lava bead earrings or raw crystal rings, you add a single drop to each. They won’t hold more than that. 
  • Your favorite summer essential oil blend can go with you when it comes to essential oil vial necklaces like this gorgeous quartz vial necklace. You see, the top unscrews so you can add essential oils inside. And each necklace comes with a dropper. Use it to refresh your bracelets, earrings, or rings! 

3. Diffuse Essential Oils When You Travel with a Car Diffuser – There are So Many Types

If traveling gets you stressed, try an essential oil car diffuser. There are so many types of essential oil diffusers for cars; you’ll be sure to find one you love! 

If you’re wondering what essential oils are good for car diffusers – honestly, I haven’t found any I didn’t like. But those known to be stress relieving are a great place to start. (Have more questions about how diffusers work and the benefits of diffusing essential oil? Just hop on over here.) 

There are three types of car diffusers – let’s cover them all!

  • Let’s start with the most simple essential oil diffusers for cars – keychains. These are typically made of leather, cotton, or wood. These feather macrame keychains are so cute, and you can add an entire blend to them. 
  • The second is a car diffuser like this that can hang from your rearview mirror or be clipped to your car vent. Simply add a few drops of essential oil to the unfinished wood beads, unfinished wood rings, or wool balls, and the scent will softly circulate throughout your vehicle (more so if you turn on your fan). They only need to be refreshed every few days or so.
  • As for the third type, it’s more similar to a diffuser for the home. Designed to plug into your USB port or cigarette lighter. Most of these car diffusers have a top that rotates, so you can position it to be uptight or sit in a cup holder like this. All you have to do is add a little water and your favorite summer essential oil blend to use. 

No matter your choice, essential oil diffusers for cars are the perfect way to enjoy the benefits of aromatherapy while you travel. 

4. Enliven Your Space with Summer Vibes: Make an Essential Oil Room Spray 

When you’re not out and about this summer, make a simple essential oil room spray to enliven any space at home. I’ve been making room sprays for years, and all it takes is three simple ingredients. Here are my quick instructions on how to make a room spray with your favorite summer essential oil blends.

5. Want Kissable Summer Lips? Create a DIY Lip Scrub

If your lips are dry or chapped from all this summer heat, look no further than what nature has already provided us – essential oils! In fact, the best essential oils for the skin are incredible for soothing and nourishing dry lips. It’s as easy as adding a few drops of essential oil to a lip scrub recipe.  

6. Invoke Your Summer Glow: Create DIY Essential Oil Perfume 

Whether you’re looking for a new perfume this summer to support your natural lifestyle or find the store-bought options give you headaches, creating your own perfume is where it’s at! Use my quick full-proof method to make a DIY essential oil perfume spray with only five ingredients.
