Here are a few ideas:

2. Essential Oils for Outdoor Travel:

Use our “Essential Oils for Outdoor Travel” post as your reference to teach a short lesson. Talk about what essential oils would be useful to take on camping trips. Then make sunscreen or the Soothing Summer Skin Spray (recipe below).

  

3. Essential Oils and Insects:

Use our “Repelling Bugs & Insects” post and our “Soothing Insect Bites and Stings” post as your reference for teaching a short lesson. Then make these Soothing Bug Bite Sticks or these Mosquito-Repelling Paracord Bracelets.

  

4. Essential Oils for Summertime Body Care:

Use Modern Essentials®, pp. 277 (sunburns), 321 (hair), 347 (nails), and 373 (skin) as a reference for teaching a short lesson about taking care of your hair, skin, and nails during the summertime.
