Oils with Nora

Easy Ways to Unwind After School
After a busy day, a few quiet moments can help kids relax and reset before homework, dinner, or bedtime.

Mindful Moments >> Calmer
Apply Calmer to the wrists and encourage your child to close their eyes and take a few slow, deep breaths.

Deep Breathing >> Steady
Roll Steady onto the palms, rub hands together, cup them over the nose, and take five slow breaths.

Creative Quiet Time >> Citrus Bloom
Place a few drops of Citrus Bloom on a cotton ball and set it nearby while your child colors, reads, or enjoys another quiet activity.

These simple after-school routines can help kids relax, recharge, and move into a calm evening at home.

Starting school is a big milestone, and a few comforting routines can help children feel more secure as they adjust to their new environment.

Calm & Comfort Master Blend
▪ 5 drops Lavender
▪ 5 drops Roman Chamomile
▪ 5 drops Vetiver
▪ 5 ml empty bottle
▪ Fill with carrier oil

Ways to Use
▪ Morning: Apply to your child's wrists before school and pair it with a reassuring hug.
▪ Diffuser Bracelet: Add 1 drop to lava beads each morning.
Bedtime: Diffuse the blend the night before school.
▪ Personal Inhaler: Keep one in your child's backpack for a familiar, comforting aroma throughout the day.

Simple routines and familiar scents can help make the transition to school feel a little easier - for both kids and parents.

Simply unplug and recharge are the best ways to reset. Stepping away from your phone, computer, or TV for a little while will do everyone some good. Pair your screen-free time with essential oils to create a calming atmosphere and help you be more present in the moment.

Grounding Diffuser Blend
▪ 2 drops Anchor
▪ 2 drops Bergamot
▪ 2 drops Vanilla

Diffuse this blend while reading, spending time outdoors, working on a hobby, or simply enjoying some quiet time.

Relaxing Bath Soak
▪ 1 cup Epsom salt
▪ 4 drops Roman Chamomile
▪ 2 drops Ylang Ylang

Mix with the Epsom salt and add to a warm bath for a relaxing soak.

Mindful Moments
▪ Sandalwood: Apply to the temples and wrists before meditation, breathwork, or quiet reflection.

Evening Routine
▪ Balance: Apply to the bottoms of your feet and the back of your neck, then trade your screen for a book, a journal, or a peaceful evening walk.

Even a short break from technology can help you slow down, recharge, and be more intentional with your time. Adding your favorite essential oils makes those moments even better.

If your child's backpack is still in great shape, there's no need to replace it. A quick refresh can have it clean, fresh, and ready for another school year.

Step 1: Wash It
Run the backpack through the washing machine (following the care label) using On Guard Laundry Detergent for a deep clean.

Step 2: Make a Backpack Refresher Spray

Ingredients
▪ 1 cup distilled water
▪ ¼ cup witch hazel
▪ 10 drops Purify
▪ 10 drops Lemon
▪ Spray bottle

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a spray bottle and shake well. Lightly mist the inside and outside of the backpack, then allow it to air dry completely before packing it for school.

This simple DIY helps keep backpacks smelling fresh throughout the school year while giving old favorites a second life.
