You know you need it.  You know it’s important. You know life is better when you get enough of it. And yet, somehow, you’re still lying there at 2 AM, scrolling through your phone, wondering why you’re wide awake. You just can’t seem to get it. So now what?

It’s safe to say that I grew up being coated in OFF every day before summer camp started. I mean, you literally could not have survived a day at Coral Pine Park without it as the park was so close to Biscayne Bay (cue the bugs being even worse towards late afternoon, right before kid pickup).

Back then, nobody knew how poisonous these kind of sprays were. After all, they have DEET in them, and DEET has some pretty serious phycological and physical side effects (and possible reactions).

We love Happy Hour in our house — There’s nothing like gathering with a few friends on a Friday evening to enjoy “personality adjustment libation” and great conversation. The fresh fruit and drinks are always on point, but when Team Marrelli is in a pinch, we use our essential oils.

Stay in the sun a bit too long without a sunscreen refresh? When a burn is particularly sore (or sun blisters occur), a soothing oatmeal bath mixed with a few key essential oils (I’ll add links for you) can soothe and support your tender skin.

CBD oil ain’t just for anxiety. Nope. It’s good for SO. MUCH. MORE. Like helping to alleviate digestive issues.
