"Lavender Buzz" Lavender Essential Oil for Sunburns
Greetings Lavender Buds,
Spring has sprung, and though we just had snow here today in Northern Nevada, just last week we had nearly 80 degree weather and I saw several people posting on Facebook how they enjoyed a little TOO MUCH sun and got sunburned. Surely you've heard how bad sunburn is for the skin.... While lavender can not prevent sunburn, it can certainly help take the 'ouch' out of a painful sunburn while aiding in healing the sunburn as well.
While you may be tempted the day of the sunburn to reach for a healing lotion like the Lavenderology Healing Salve or Lavenderology Whipped Shea Butter, don't. If you put Healing Salve or Lotion on too soon, it can actually enhance the burn and the last thing you want to do is slather oil onto a sunburn, it's kind of like deep frying yourself!
First things first, as soon as you notice the sunburn, apply cool (not cold) water compress. This may help in preventing the burn from penetrating deeper into the skin. Severe burns should be evauluated by a doctor.
The best thing to do right off the get go is to use Lavenderology Lavender Essential Oil. There are a few methods of application.
- Mist your sunburn with the Lavenderology™ Lavender Mist Spray which contains Lavenderology™ Lavender Essential Oil.
- Mix about 10 drops of Lavender Essential Oil with 1/2 cup of Aloe Vera gel and apply to the burned area.
- Create a cool compress, fill a bowl with some cool water, add about 10 drops of water to a generous sized bowl of cool (not cold) water, and gently apply to the skin with a soft wash cloth. Do not 'rub', simply compress to the burned area gently. Rinse, ring out, and repeat as necessary.
- Take a cool bath. Not warm, not cold, just luke warm water plus about 10 drips of Lavender Essential Oil and soak.
- Bonus bath, toss in a handful of oatmeal into the tub too as oatmeal has many skin soothing qualities. Soak for about a half hour. Remember, luke warm, not cold or warm!
What does lavender do for a sunburn? It can help ease the pain, help aid in healing, fight infection, help reduce blistering and it can help prevent scarring too...
Of course Lavenderology™ recommends always using a sunscreen any time you go out into the sun. Even if gardening 'just for an hour'. It is a good habit to use sunscreen daily on areas that are always exposed like your face, ears, arms and hands. For your body you should use enough sunscreen to fill a shot glass, and for your face an amount the size of a quarter. When caring for your skin, sunscreen is not a place you want to skimp!

"Lavender Buzz" Bugs-Be-Gone with 100% Lavender Mist Spray
Greetings Lavender Buds,
"Lavender Buzz for Lavender Mist Spray" Does lavender really repel mosquitos and other pesky bugs?
As trees start budding and flowers start blooming, the mosquitos start stirring to life in stagnet ponds and still waters. They like to start swarming and dawn, and again at dusk . This can make gardening a pain, Bar B Ques no fun, and back yard parties miserable.
Before you bust out the smelly Mosquito Sprays filled with dangerous ingredients, consider the Lavenderology™ Lavender Mist Spray. Mosquitos (and other bugs like Flys, No-see-ums, and Gnats) are NOT fans of the natural essense of Lavender!Spray yourself well, head to toe, and reapply every one to two hours as once the lavender wears off, the hunt will be on! Don't forget your face (close your eyes), neck, ears, back of hands, feet ~ anywhere there is skin, they'll bite you.
Lavenderology™ offers a generous 8 oz size, shake well and enjoy chasing the bugs away!
Add extra layers of protection by bathing with Lavenderology™ Artisan Soap Bars and using Lavenderology™ Lavender Whipped Shea Lotion.
Mosquitos are no fun, they carry disease and things like West Nile. This mist can be used safely on children and pets, it is non toxic. Do test for allergies as with any type of flower, adults, children and pets could possibly be allergic!

"Lavender Buzz" How To Warm or Chill a Lavender Eye Pillow
Greetings Lavender Buds,
There are many ways to use Lavender Eye Pillows from Lavenderology™, in this posting of the Lavender Buzz I will go over ways you can Chill your Lavenderology™ Eye Pillow for cooling relief and also ways you can warm your Lavenderology™ Lavender Eye Pillow for soothing warmth.
Cooling Comfort : Sometimes a splitting headache or migraine just screams for a cool compress, you can easily use your Lavender Eye Pillow to give yourself a refreshing burst of lavenderlicious chill across your brow. Many keep their eye pillow in the freezer so it is always ready at a moment's notice. If you decide to keep your Lavenderology™ Lavender Eye Pillow in the freezer I do recommend storing it in an air tight container like a freezer zip bag (press out all the air before sealing). This will keep moisture away from the eye pillow, and will also keep it clean and secure.
What if you are on the go? Like camping, where you may not have a fridge? Wrap your Lavender Eye Pillow in a zip lock and pop it in the cooler beneath the ice. Coolness travels down, so be sure to seal it well so there are no water leaks and soon you'll be enjoying your cooling comfort even while out among the trees...
Chilled Lavender Eye Pillows can also be used as cool compresses for things like black eyes, bruises, and bumps.
Soothing Warmth : Perhaps it's the penetrating warmth you are seeking, to melt away aches and pains. Lavenderology™ Lavender Eye Pillows can also be enjoyed warmed. There are a variety of ways to warm your Lavender Eye Pillow. The fastest method is microwaving; simply place in a microwave safe dish and warm in 10 second increments. After 10 seconds, remove and gently shake the contents back and forth. Warm for another 10 seconds. Repeat this 2 times or more until you achieve the desired warmth. Be careful as there may be 'hot spots', so use with caution. Please don't be tempted to microwave for a longer time period as you do not wish to 'cook' the flax seeds or singe the lavender and/or peppermint within your eye pillow.
Some prefer non-microwave methods, a great one is to warm in your oven. Place the eye pillow in a covered glass dish, and let warm in the oven at your desired temp. I recommend setting the oven to 'warm' and placing it in right away. This method will take longer, do check it every once and awhile as again, you do not want to 'cook' the contents. You will want to shake around the contents a few times as well for even heat dispursion. Do be careful to avoid hot spots and use with caution.
What if you are not near a microwave or oven? Place that puppy in a sunny window! Perhaps your car, on your desk at work, anywhere the sun can provide its natural heating action.
Warm Lavender Eye Pillows are soothing for cramps, muscle aches and beyond. Anywhere you'd like a little warmth, like a mini heating pad with a punch of lavender or lavender mint!
Enjoy your Lavender Eye Pillow with Cooling Comfort or Soothing Warmth!

"Lavender Buzz" Lavenderology™ Lavender Magic Powder Bathroom Cleaning Tips
Greetings Lavender Buds,
I wanted to share some useful ideas on using the Lavenderology™ Lavender Magic Powder while cleaning in your bathroom. While the Lavender Magic Powder has tons of applications and uses, today we are going to focus on the place where statistics say we spend 1/3 of our lives, the bathroom!
Sinks: Lavenderology™ Lavender Magic Powder works great to remove soap scum build up, toothpaste, shaving cream ~ even hard water spots on the handles and faucet. In addition it provides the perfect amount of gentle cleanser action to get the buildup that forms around the base of the handles, faucet and even the drain plug!
Bath Tub and Shower: The Lavenderology™ Lavender Magic Powder will also do amazing things in your bath tub! It will remove build up and residue aka "ring around the tub", and it will also do all the things as listed above for sinks. If you have a tub/shower combo with sliding doors built in, the Lavender Magic Powder is amazing on those door tracks that can get super cruddy as well. It will shine the chrome and get the goo out of the tracks too.
If your tub or shower has glass doors, you may experience hard water spotting and build up from soap, shampoo, etc... You may see or even feel this as a 'film' on your once clear shower doors. Even if you have the textured glass doors, this works great on those as well.
In my case the shower has stone walls and river rock on the floor and Lavender Magic works its magic on removing soap scum build up gently on the stone work and grout as well.Now I have a little glass shelf in my bathroom, and it's one of those things I tend to 'neglect' we could say as I always have trinkets on it like candles, books, etc... and sometimes I just don't want to move everything ~ so it tends to get quite a build up of that stuck on dust. You know the dust I'm talking about, the one where it just won't 'dust' off any longer since it has formed a type of 'dust cement' from the moisture and steam created in the bathroom environment!
Well I gently took off the shelves, misted with a natural cleaner and sprinkled on my Lavenderology™ Lavender Magic Powder, with just a gentle scrub in a circular motion all that 'dust cement' was removed and my shelves sparkle once again! Makes me feel so silly for even letting the dust turn to cement in the first place... (blush)
Some Usage Tips: Of course Lavender Magic Powder works amazing magic, BUT if you have not cleaned your bathroom in ages don't expect miracles. We're doing magic here, not miracles (wink). In the event of severe build up, it will take more elbow grease, but Lavender Magic Powder will indeed help!
I recommend misting the area to be cleaned with your favorite natural bathroom cleaner spray After letting the mist sit a bit, get your sponge wet with warm water, ring out, and gently sprinkle on a coat of Lavender Magic Powder. Now get a scrubbin' ~ watch the scum dissapear!
You know the best part? You can sink into that tub or hop into the shower right away with no worries of toxic fumes or liquids seeping into your skin!
Of course in order to maintain a fresh environment, and to keep scrubbing to a minimum, I recommend you clean your bathroom weekly to maintain a sparkly appearance. Lavenderology™ Magic Powder is made with all natural ingredients, is non toxic and of course will make your bathroom smell lavender lovely delicious!
Keep and eye on the Lavender Buzz for more information, tips and uses on Lavender Magic Powder!
