I’ve noticed lately that I have been struggling for specific words when I’m having a conversation or trying to write blog posts. At first I was concerned something may be wrong with me. But then I realized it’s more likely caused by my habit of multi-tasking and not taking time for self-care. Our brains can only do so much. It’s difficult to focus on more than 1 thing at a time. As moms sometimes we are asked to juggle far more than that! When I’m trying to read and prepare a new recipe for dinner while helping my older daughter do a Mad-Lib and being interrupted by my younger daughter asking for a snack, it’s not surprising I fumble for words at times, is it?
So the Simply Earth August box focused on STRESS is very timely. We all need a push to relax at times and the lovely, soothing recipes and essential oils in this month’s box are perfectly suited for exactly that. Get a peak at what is in store for you this month below!
This month’s August Essential Oil Box contains Purple Brazilian Clay, Citric Acid, Lava Rock with string, and 4 specially curated essential oils. This month’s essential oils are:
- Sage- uplifts
- Lavender- calms, supports immunity
- Peppermint-soothes, cools
- Peace & Quiet- calms, relaxes
This month’s recipes are Self Care Diffuser Blend, Quiet Moment Roll-on, Purple Striped Bath Salts, Lava Rock Shower Diffuser, Toilet Cleaning Bomb, and Fizzy Purple Bath Scoop.
Self Care Diffuser Blend
This fresh, minty scent is very soothing and uplifting. I have been enjoying it at night after a long, hot, busy day to help me unwind.
Quiet Moment Roll-On
There have definitely been times I’ve been in need of a quiet moment this summer! It’s perfect timing as we wrap up our summer. The cooling effect this has helps to ease your mind.
Lava Rock Shower Diffuser
I absolutely love shower bombs and the scent they add to the water as it steams. This is even better because it is something you can use time and time again with different scents. The lavender is very calming and relaxing. So it’s perfect if you take a shower before bed to help you destress.
Toilet Cleaning Bombs
These were very simple and quick to make and smell so clean and fresh. I can’t wait to try these out in our bathrooms.
Fizzy Purple Bath Scoop
My girls were so excited about this recipe! They are already begging me to give them another bath so they can try them out, but they aren’t quite dry yet! These bath scoops are much easier than a bath bomb to make and smell just as nice.
Purple Striped Bath Salts
I saved the prettiest for last. Don’t these bath salts look amazing? And they would make a wonderful gift as well. It’s insanely easy and quick to make. But that will be our secret!
The Value of the Simply Earth Subscription Box
The Simply Earth subscription box is a wonderful opportunity to begin using essential oils more and making useful and fun items you can use in your home. I learn things every month! This month I was so excited about the lava rock diffuser so I can begin using essential oils in my shower every day. It will replace my shower bombs and will help save me some money!

There are other benefits to the subscription box like being able to add items to your box for free shipping, being able to exchange oils, and being able to gift a month to someone!

I also love that 13% of all products go to support organizations that work to end human trafficking. This month the proceeds are going towards Freedom Cry. This organization is based in Wisconsin and helps support survivors by providing basic necessities, housing, mentoring, and even support during the trial process for their traffickers. A Simply Earth monthly subscription can do good for the environment AND society.
