The Hangover Arrangement for Super Bowl Monday

For some, yesterday's Super Bowl festivities

may have made Monday morning not so merry.

But, I have an arrangement for that.

A post-bowl bouquet, 

to make your ailments go away!

After all that football manliness, you need a little something pretty,
that smells amazing.

A lovely, simple mixture of lavender and mint is just what the doctor ordered.

The calming, smoothing scent of lavender has been known to help with
fatigue, headaches, nausea, stress and depression
(so sorry Carolina fans for your loss).
The refreshing aroma of mint can aid your concentration, boost energy,
elevate mood and even aid in digestion
(in case you are regretting that last chicken wing).

And we all know the benefits of staying hydrated,
so the only appropriate vase is a box of water.
(after you've guzzled it down, of course)

Cheers to a great Super Bowl 50 in the books.

Hats off Bay Area, you made us proud!

Relax your back to school

Going Back to School is stressful for everyone.

I made relaxing lavender sugar scrubs last year and

 I know my frazzled mom friends will appreciate a new batch!

It is so easy to make, 

smells amazing, is calming and helps to slough off all that old summer skin.

Simply combine:

2 cups of granted sugar

1/2 cup coconut oil

(it was very hot the day I made this - the once solid oil had liquified)

4 to 5 drops of lavender scented oil

(available at Michael's)

1/2 tsp. dried lavender

Whip up a batch for someone who's got your back...
