Mold and Mildew Spray, Electrolyte Drink and Other Recipes Just in time for Summer

Powerful Mold and Mildew Spray

1 Cup Distilled Water

1 Cup Vodka

10 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil

10 drops Eucalyptus Essential Oil

10 drops Lavender Essential Oil

Combine all the above ingredients and pour into a spray bottle. Spray this powerful mold and mildew spray directly on your mold or mildew problem. If it is really a bad problem leave on for 30 minutes or more before you wipe clean.

Odor Eliminator

2 drops Lemon EO

1 drop Melaleuca EO

1 drop Lime EO

1 drop White Fir EO

1 drop of Cilantro EO

Flower Garden Blend

Want your home to smell like a flower garden in full bloom? Try this one:

1 drop Clary Sage EO

1 drop Geranium EO

1 drop Lavender EO

1 drop Roman Chamomile EO

Bug Repellent Blend

This combo isn’t one that I’d necessarily wear as perfume, but it contains a collection of oils that most creepy-crawlies dislike:

1 drop Lemongrass EO

1 drop Melaleuca EO

1 drop Thyme EO

1 drop Eucalyptus EO

1 drop Rosemary EO

Chapstick

Ingredients:

2 Tablespoons beeswax (about 1 oz)

2 Tablespoons coconut oil

2 Tablespoons shea butter

12 lip balm containers

dropper

Directions:

1. Melt beeswax in a small pan or crockpot over low heat. Add coconut oil and shea butter until all ingredients a melted. Add a few drops essential oil if desired. I did not use any essential oil and it is smells wonderfully like honey!

2. Using a small medicinal dropper, pour the melted liquid into your lip balm containers. Add a few extra drops to the top after filling each container as the ingredients will shrink as they cool.

3. Cool completely to harden. Cover with cap and decorate or label as desired.
