Easy DIY Cooling Spray

Are you hot?  I sure am!  We’ve had a major for the east coast heat wave over the past few weeks.  Which is why I’m so thankful for this easy way to cool off…

We hosted a big cookout over the weekend, and the heat index was at least 100°.  Yikes!  To keep our guests cool, I decided to whip up a few bottles of this Easy DIY Cooling Spray.

It works great!  We were all chasing small children, so I’m not sure how many guests actually used this nifty cooling spray, but it made me feel better to have it on hand.

I also provided a few bottles of my favorite DIY Bug Spray.

My boys are big fans of this Easy DIY Cooling Spray, by the way.  My goal is to send them out to play every day, even when it’s hot.  They’re also our garden helpers, harvesting veggies and watering plants.

Now when they complain about the heat, I can hand them a glass of water and a bottle of cooling spray.  Problem solved!

If you spend any amount of time out in the heat–gardening, sports, hiking, traveling, etc.–you’ll love this Easy DIY Cooling Spray.

Notes

In general, I try to use dark glass bottles for essential oil recipes. If you’re concerned about safety for kids, other good options include stainless steel or thick, food grade plastic. I actually recycled doTERRA Fractionated Coconut Oil bottles for my cooling sprays.
