Planning a fun get together with friends? In the midst of DIY projects and spring cleaning, I recently hosted a fun gathering of close friends. A day of pampering and friends, chocolate, wine, essential oil and massages. How fun! I spent some time making up some pretty pictures and thought I’d share with my essential oil lovin’ DIY ShowOff friends too. You’re welcome to use the graphics and ideas below as inspiration for hosting your own event {for personal use only}. You may add your own text to the blank flyer but I ask that you keep my watermark. Thank you! Enjoy!

A reminder to take care of “you”…

I generally stick to essential oil infused ice water and healthy organic/non GMO refreshments at my gatherings but on special rare occasions, I like to switch things up. Because…chocolate. And wine. Then back to regularly scheduled healthy dietary habits, okay?

Tips & Suggestions: I only recommend Young Living brand essential oils and products. I invite you to learn more and to get started here. 🙂

• I have a friend who is a massage therapist but you can hire one to do 10 min. mini massages (hand, foot or neck and shoulders). Allow the massage therapist to bring business cards to distribute and provide the massage oil. (Suggestions: Relaxation, OrthoSport, OrthoEase or V-6 with Peace & Calming or Lavender, etc.)
• Create a Facebook event page, post a graphic a day or every other day leading to the event. Send a reminder to guests in a personal private message a day or two before the event date. 
• Host a short & sweet Essential Oils 101 class.
• Have incentives for joining or bringing a guest handy.
• Diffuse a calming/relaxing/uplifting essential oil (Suggestions: Lemon+Lavender+Peppermint, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Citrus Fresh, Grapefruit+Bergamot, Lavender+YlangYlang).
• Supplies: pretty plates, napkins, glass bottles and straws.
• Optional: a sugar scrub or bath salt make & take. See recipes here. 
• Serve light essential oil infused refreshments (ideas: ice water bar with citrus essential oils, wine punch (shown above) or wine, essential oil infused chocolate – melt chocolate, add a few drops of essential oil and spoon/pour into a silicone mold. Remove and display or wrap in a baggy and tie with a pretty ribbon for use as a party favor. Or get fancy with essential oil infused chocolate cups filled with chocolate mousse. Yum!
• Charge a small fee to help cover massage/etc. costs.
• Limit space (5-12 guests).
• Require an rsvp.
