Lavender Pillow Spray

Lavender Pillow Spray

Posted on May 3, 2019July 17, 2019 by jennifer froese

Everyone knows that a good night’s sleep is essential for mental and physical health, but sometimes we just need a little extra help drifting off. This lavender pillow spray helps promote relaxation and deeper sleep using lavender essential oil. Lavender essential oil is very calming, and has balancing properties for the mind and body. I keep this on my bedside table and spray a few sprays on our pillows as I’m getting ready for bed.

If you’re a lavender lover like me, you should also check out this post on how to make your own lavender foaming hand soap.

Making your own personal care products is much easier than you probably expect. You can also avoid toxic ingredients found in many commercially-produced items, including artificial fragrances. For example, here’s a list of ingredients found in a “natural” pillow spray from a well-known commercial brand: “Water. Fragrance. Alcohol. Nobilis flower oil. Lavendula oil (lavender oil). Cedrus atalantica bark oil. Aloe leaf extract. Propylene methoxydibentoylmethane. Methoxycinnamate. Alpha-isomethyl. Methylpropional. Linalool.” Is anybody else scratching their head about how to even pronounce those last five ingredients?

Lavender Pillow Spray

Ingredients:

Lavender Essential Oil
Witch Hazel or Vodka
Distilled Water
Small Funnel
Spray Bottle (these are the 2oz. amber glass ones that I use)
Retro Label Maker (if you want to be extra like me lol)

Directions:

To make this lavender pillow spray, combine one tablespoon witch hazel (or vodka) and three tablespoons water in the spray bottle using the small funnel. Then add five drops of lavender essential oil, replace the top, and shake it up!

I’ve always used lavender essential oil, but I’ve seen many recipes that contain combinations of ylang ylang, bergamot, vetiver and cedarwood as well. Feel free to experiment to find a blend that you love! Do you have any essential oils that are a part of your bedtime routine already?

    So dreamy! Must try! I love smelling lavender before I fall asleep. I think it helps my puppy calm down too 🙂

Instagram post 2192420960521842732_9739863500 Does anybody else have a favorite cookie they like to make around Christmas time? 🌲 Mine are these soft, chewy, crinkly molasses ginger cookies. They freeze really well, so they're the perfect cookie to make ahead of the busy holiday season - maybe even this weekend! Just pull them out of the freezer a few hours before a holiday get-together and you're good to go! 
Recipe for Soft & Chewy Molasses Ginger Cookies is now up on the blog, complete with a couple of different ways to jazz them up if you're feeling extra fancy! Click the link in bio to check it out

Instagram post 2190261564505185712_9739863500 Whose woods these are I think I know. 
His house is in the village though; 
He will not see me stopping here 
To watch his woods fill up with snow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My little horse must think it queer 
To stop without a farmhouse near 
Between the woods and frozen lake 
The darkest evening of the year. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
He gives his harness bells a shake 
To ask if there is some mistake. 
The only other sound’s the sweep 
Of easy wind and downy flake. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The woods are lovely, dark and deep, 
But I have promises to keep, 
And miles to go before I sleep, 
And miles to go before I sleep.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2186638393671539586_9739863500 More Christmas decorations! I've never used dried hydrangeas in my winter arrangements before, but I saw a YouTube video from @gardenanswer where she used gold spray paint on her dried hydrangeas before adding them and I thought that was such a neat idea! The taller branches are ones that had broken off of one of our birch trees in the wind storm we had earlier this month. They kind of remind me of deer antlers!

Instagram post 2185190963805523215_9739863500 Has anyone else started Christmas decorating yet? I usually start on November 1st because I don't have the patience to wait until after Thanksgiving. Christmas decorations are way too pretty to enjoy for just one month! I've been able to decorate with clippings from lots of the evergreen trees on the property at our new house, and it is MAGICAL! ✨ We also had a wind storm earlier this month, and a some branches fell from one of our birch trees. I can't wait to use the birch bark when wrapping Christmas gifts this year! I think it will make the best gift tags 🎁

Instagram post 2182233516367160072_9739863500 I'm definitely completely in love with our new kitchen! It doesn't look this sparse any more now that we're all moved in, but it definitely looks more serene without all the kitchen clutter 😅 I've been busy painting the nursery the past week or so, and I can't wait to take some pictures once we finally get it all set up! Head over to stories for a sneak peek 👶🏻 Baby Froese will be here in only three short months!
