1. Essential Oil 'Gift Ideas for Summertime Guests'
=============================================

Next week my family from the West Coast
is coming for a visit and I am thrilled.

I always like to have little welcome gifts when
people visit me - something practical for them to use
while they are here and something they can use at home.

The three kids (all under age 12) are getting
personalized bags that I ordered from Lillian Vernon
so they can easily schlep their stuff between family
homes here in New Jersey.

And for the adults I thought I would make them
each a Signature Essential Oils Spritz with their
names on the bottle. It will be at tier bedside
in my guest rooms, and they can take it with them
on their visit to the Jersey Shore - and then home
if it lasts that long!

Kristen is a Geranium Gal.......

David is a Man of Valor. . .


Here is how I'm making these Signature Spritz's....
(I'm calling them "Body Spray's" so they know
they can spray all over their body - and these
are great in the summer time!):

* A small mister bottle
* 4 drops of essential oils (Geranium for Kristen)
* 4 oz of distilled water

--Just fill the mister bottle starting with 4 drops of essential oils.
--Add water
--Shake well before use

For David - I think he'll want to use this as an
aftershave so I'll use some refreshing witch hazel
in his spritz:

* 1 tablespoon witch hazel
* 4 drops of essential oils (Valor for David)
* 6 oz. of distilled water

Both of these will go in a pretty cobalt blue spray bottle
ordered from Abundant Health

And of course, when they want to know how to
get more - I send them home with a Young Living
catalog!!!

2. Essential Oil Tip: EO's for Unwanted Guests
================================================

I love company! I have an open door policy for my
family and close friends - but NOT for cold calling
sales people nor skeeters, bugs and flies.

I have a great 'blend of blends' for the critters,
(but not for those cold callers - any suggestions
out there? ha ha )

Here is my favorite "Stay Away Spray":

Mix together:

Thieves
Purification
Peppermint

Equal number of drops (depending how strong
you want it - start with 6 drops and work your
way up) in 4 oz distilled water in cobalt blue
or brown glass spray bottle.

Wasps don't like Clove (it's in Thieves),
Mosquitos don't like Purification (it
has natural citronella), and ants despise
Peppermint!

4. Recipe of the Week: Wheat Berry and White Bean Salad
=======================================================

A Great Summmer Salad!

Wheat Berry and White Bean Salad

Ingredients:
1 cup cooked Bob's Red Mill Wheat Berries (any variety)
1 cup cooked White or Navy Beans
1/2 cup Green Onion, chopped

1/4 tsp ground Black Pepper

Mix the vinaigrette by combining all the ingredients with a
whisk or in a blender.
