Natural Sugar Scrub

Who has two thumbs and is obsessed with Bath and Body sugar scrub? This girl!

But what's the one thing that I don't like about them is.... you guessed it. The chemicals.

When your skin is wet your pores enlarge creating much more access for the chemicals. So I have created new little "dupe" for it.

You will just need a few simple things:

10 drops of Doterra Oil

1 cup of sugar (I used sucanat because it is really exfoliating)

1/2 cup oil (it depends on your preference on how sugary to oily you want it)

I made a citrus scrub but a lavender one is pretty amazing too!

Mix everything together in a bowl.

This will keep for a few weeks but if you do add lemon or orange zest, as I did, you should keep in the fridge if you haven't used it in a week or so.

Good Luck and have a lovely day!

Homemade Face Towelettes

Lately (as I said on my detergent rant) I have been trying to weed the chemicals out of my house. I know that lately I have been loving the simple brand of face towelettes, but even if they are pretty cheap ($2-3) that collects over time. That is why today I have made my new MUST have.

What you will need:

1/2 roll of paper towels

1 T apple cider vinegar

1 T of your soap

1 cup water

1 T coconut oil

Cut your paper towels in half and put them in a plastic container. 

Put everything in the pot and let it boil

Pour into your container put a lid on it and well wash your face!

Enjoy!!!! 

Tinted lip balm

What you will need:

1 T Beeswax (you can use pellets or a block like I did)

2 T of a carrier oil (I used Apricot Oil because of the vitamin a)

1 T of Shea Butter or Coco Butter

5-10 drops of peppermint oil (if you use to much it can hurt your lips)

A few lipstick shavings if you want it tinted

I just picked up a lipstick for a dollar at Target. Using it didn't give off a tint to your lips at all it's just kinda fun! 

Boil a cup or 2 of water in a pan and stick a quart sized jar in with your oil, butter, and beeswax. 

Add a few lipstick shavings and your peppermint oil. You can buy it here: https://www.iact1.com/doterra/ShoppingCart/Shop.cfm?LNG=en_dot&Theme=DefaultTheme&ReturnURL=http://www.mydoterra.com/kellierhanson&OwnerID=433791

Peppermint is my favorite oil of all time! You can use it for headaches, bath-bombs (coming soon), sugar scrub (also coming soon), and the most obvious tinted lip balm.

Have a lovely day!!!
