Colors and scents for the Festa Junina |

June is the time to prepare for the June festivities. And as in 2014 the World Cup will also take place this month, how about abusing the colors of Brazil a little to make your country clothes or party decorations? Green brings balance, yellow suggests joy and favors communication and blue makes the environment more harmonious.

If you’re going to organize a typical celebration at your home and don’t know where to start, opt for warm colors like red and orange, which are more intense, offer energy and stimulate the appetite. One option is to use colored bottles to hold beverages, such as wine and mulled wine. Also abuse colorful trays, cups, plates and cutlery, items that are easy to find in specialized or department stores and that bring a more cheerful and fun look to your table. Make a colorful patchwork tablecloth using scraps of all colors. It is a different work, which gives a special touch to the decoration and matches with the June festival.

Aromatherapy can be used in the preparation of typical dishes

There are many typical dishes of the June festival, such as quentao, sweet rice, paçoca, etc. The good news is that in addition to being delicious, these foods can also balance your physical, mental and emotional. To do so, just increase them with Vibrational Aromatherapy. This therapy uses the active principles of essential oils in an ecological way, that is, without harming nature. It is the purest energy of these oils, used in a safe and accessible way, without causing risks and reactions in which it is used.

And as the June festivities take place in a colder season, try using the vibrational compound of “Cold Sensitivity” in the preparation of dishes and drinks, which helps to warm up and has Cinnamon vibrational oil in its composition. This oil is stimulating, brings renewal and transformation and helps with decision making. It also favors contact with all emotions, bringing courage to change situations that bother you. In the traditional recipe for quento, rice pudding, pumpkin jam, curau or pamonha, for example, you can drip 3 drops of the “Cold Sensitivity” compound.

Another possibility is to use 3 drops of Carnation vibrational essential oil in recipes. In addition to giving flavor to dishes, it still works as an energy protector and aids in digestion. Cornmeal cake can also benefit from Vibrational Aromatherapy. To intensify the flavor of the candy, use 3 drops of Fennel vibrational essential oil in the recipe, which benefits the entire gastrointestinal system. When preparing popcorn, try putting 3 drops of black pepper vibrational essential oil, which gives a spicy touch to the recipe and is also anti-inflammatory.

To make the environment of your June party more fragrant, take care of the aromatization: put 2 drops of Cinnamon essential oil and 4 drops of Orange or Tangerine essential oil with a little water in the electric diffuser. When the water starts to dry – about two hours later – drip the oils again and add some more water.

With all these tips, your June party will be more colorful, fun, fragrant and very tasty! Remember to always consult an aromatherapist if you have any questions about pure and vibrational essential oils.
