Been thinking about my Wedding Anniversary favors and wanted to make something for the ladies, in particular. I scratched out the idea of making lavender sugar since there will be alot of people attending, about 30 + which means I would have to make and store alot of it -- too tedious. Then I remembered something that I am already using -- lavender water spray! I use this whenever I go to public bathrooms to make my stay more tolerable. Read a few articles about it and alot of them suggest using distilled water with some form of alcohol. I just use plain water and Lavender essential oil I buy from Whole Foods Market. The result is simple and quite aromatic -- perfect for those places that need a refreshing aroma.
This is how I make lavender water:
1. Get a good mini spray bottle that does not leak.
2. Fill the bottle with tap or distilled water.
3. Place several drops of Lavender essential oil -- try 6 drops first then test spray to see if the smell is to your liking
4. Once you are satisfied, reseal it and spray away!
5. Make a fresh batch every 3 - 4 weeks.
Lavender water spray is also great for the office. I use it during stressful moments when I need to relax. Reminds me of my bedroom and immediately puts me in a calmer mood.
I will be adding my Lavender water spray to the list of favors I will be giving my guests at the June party.
