DIY Lavender Pillow Spray

Hey ya'll! Did you survive the blizzard of 2016?! I hope you are staying safe and warm! I took advantage of the cold weather and came up with some new DIY ideas at home.

I saw an advertisement recently for a lavender pillow spray that is supposed to help you relax before going to bed. After looking through Pinterest, I found that I could easily make my own spray with ingredients found around the house!

Ingredients to make the lavender pillow/room spray:
*Mini spray bottle
*1 tsp of rubbing alcohol
*30 + drops of Young Living Essential Oils - lavender
*Water

I filled up the bottle with the rubbing alcohol and drops of the lavender Young Living Essential Oils, then I filled up the rest of the bottle with water! It was THAT easy to make!

All you have to do is spritz your pillow a few minutes before bedtime, and it helps relax you and fall asleep faster!

This spray can retail for around $10 per bottle! The Crabtree & Evelyn brand is a good $18! Ouch!
The DIY version is all natural and way cheaper! Plus, you can change the scents, and personalize it any way you want! It can be used as a room spray instead of Febreeze or air fresheners in bathrooms!

For the spray bottle - you can find some at the Dollar Tree OR if you already have travel size hairspray - keep the bottles after using them and wash them out! The bottle is just the right size to re-use for this spray! I'm pretty sure you can also get the rubbing alcohol at the Dollar Tree if you don't have some around the house. Per the Young Living Essential Oil website, the lavender oil retails for $30.92. It doesn't take much to make the spray and the oil has lasted me quite a while already.

I absolutely fell in LOVE this spray! The travel size bottles are perfect, especially for trips! If you are like me, and have a difficult time falling asleep away from home, this spray really helps out! I also keep it with me so if I start to feel stressed or anxious, I spray it to help keep me calm/relaxed.
