It’s warm! It’s summer (in the Northern Hemisphere, at least)! Finally. Here in Calgary the season is pretty short, so there’s a lot of awesome activities and trips to cram into a pretty short period of time. I’ve got lots of great summer DIY recipes that I think you’d like—here’s my round-up to keep you cool, bug-free, moisturized, and all kinds of summertime happy!


For summer skin

For the bugs

For bare feet

For the heat

For your hair

For your lips

These recipes are so timely. Especially the mint bug spray. I’m going to try it in the next few days. Thank you!
Enjoy!
Marie, I subscribed to your blog and I really enjoy your emails and videos. I recently watched a video of yours where you were making a body butter or salve. You tried to lick it in the video but it didn’t taste good! You were using an oil that you had to heat first because it was so thick. What was that oil and which recipe was that. I can’t find it anywhere. Thanks
This one 🙂
