Creative ideas, recipes, ways of living and bath and body products that are pure bliss
Yeah, I know, I have been MIA again, but I thought you might like to hop over to DIY Life and read my latest post about creating blends with essential oils just for valentine’s Day. There are recipes for scenting the room and for scenting body oil.
And check back every week, as I’ll be writing the column “The Scentual Life” every Tuesday. Enjoy!
I have been neglecting sharing homemade body care recipes with you, I suppose since I am in eating mode this winter and have just been posting food recipes! Here’s a super-easy one that your skin and senses will adore . . .
After Bath Yum
- 1/4 c. virgin coconut oil (get this at a health food store, natural foods section of your supermarket or online)
- 10 drops lavender essential oil
- 3 drops rose geranium essential oil
- 2 drops patchouli essential oil
- 3 drops sweet orange essential oil
You can melt the VCO a bit if you find it easier to mix in the essential oils; otherwise, just blend and use! A little goes a long way, and slathering it on while your skin is still wet after a bath or shower is so perfect for retaining hydration.
