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!

Orange Brownie

 What are two of the best things you could put together? What are two of the weirdest things you could put together? The answer is one amazing, fantastic, fabulous recipe (drummmm rolllllll)

ORANGE BROWNIE!

I have made this recipe at least twice a week over the past few weeks. It is an amazing after workout snack! So again why am I wasting your time reading this? Lets jump in!

What you will need:

1 cup walnuts

1 cup orange juice

1 cup oatmeal

2 T cinnamon

3/4 cup cocoa or carob powder

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1 egg

1 T baking powder

~Preheat oven to 350~

Mix walnuts and orange juice in a high power blender or food processor. Add oatmeal and make sure the walnuts, oatmeal, and orange juice are a very liquidy paste. Now it gets super simple! Add everything else mix, scrape into a greased pan, wait 30-40 minutes and

ENJOY!



Cranberry, Chocolate, and Coconut Granola

Yogurt topper? Cereal? Snack? Trail mix? What is this magical new recipe? I personally like eating it as either a trail mix type of thing or on top of yogurt. It is splendid!

What you will need:

1 1/2 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup raw almonds chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/3 cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup maple syrup

Preheat oven to 375

I threw everything onto the pan an mixed it up on there in a grasping chance to save dishes!

Bake for 30-40 min depending on your oven and how crispy you want your granola.

Good Luck!!

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!!!
