Lavender Pillow Spray

Posted on May 3, 2019May 4, 2020 by jennifer froese

Everyone knows that a good night’s sleep is essential for mental and physical health, but sometimes you 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)

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 🙂

    Some things that I’ll always think of when I thi Some things that I’ll always think of when I think of you–
 
The birch tree out by the road, that low branch of the maple tree hanging down over the gravel driveway, the old potting shed with the red tin roof to match the house, all the birdhouses (but especially that one hanging on the silver maple next to the house), the glow of the lights in the windows at Christmastime, your beautiful gardens - the ferns and peonies, the hollyhocks and zinnias, the oakleaf hydrangea, the poppies, the tulip tree and the scraggly old apple trees, the tree swing under the giant maple in the backyard, the fall birthday parties in the big brown barn, football games in your back yard (especially that year when my dad pulled both of his hamstrings), the enamel-top table on your back porch where you and Papa would have lunch, the steep steep stairs and creaky old floors in your house, the gauzy tobacco cloth curtains pinned up at one corner, the paint colors Pearwood and Black Bean Soup, the bathroom door with no lock, your Bakelite silverware, the vintage Tinkertoys, the old gumball machine on the counter of your pantry with the jar of pennies right next to it (that gum was always so stale), the jar of extra-salty sourdough pretzels we could always find on your counter, your soft sugar cookies with frosting and a pecan on top, your famous potato salad, and your linen clothes. But more than all of these things, I’ll always remember how loved I always felt. Somehow you made everyone in your life feel like they were your favorite person in the world. I’ll never forget your smile and your hugs and your laugh and your sense of humor. And I’ll never forget watching you holding my babies for the very first time. You were incredible Grammie, I’m going to miss you so much.
    Definitely my favorite room in the house! If only Definitely my favorite room in the house! If only there was enough room for a cozy armchair in here 😅

    Egg production for our hens has come to a screechi Egg production for our hens has come to a screeching halt lately with the exception of this white leghorn, who continues to faithfully lay one white egg each day! I don't blame them at all, these girls have endured quite the winter so far.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This white leghorn is the newest addition to our flock, and she actually showed up randomly in the fall and would hang out near the run during the day and disappear towards the evening. This went on for a couple of weeks, and then one day she wandered in when I had the door open and I couldn't get her out. So in she stayed!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One egg a day is not quite enough to keep up with the baking and cooking for us, so I did have to buy eggs at the store the other week. Talk about sticker shock! I'm curious what prices everyone has been paying for eggs these days.
