Lately I have been creating in the kitchen & not much in my craft room. But I finally had a few minutes and my daughter loves to help me make different things and this one was perfect. I love creating with essential oils cause they really do help and smell amazing ! You may have heard of using argan oil for hair but what bout using oils to make a vapor rub? We live in GA where the weather has been crazy and my little’s are either stuffy or have a runny nose ALWAYS. And this creation really helps and the kids actually let me use it !!! I use it to even the husband. So it’s a win win for me.

What You Need:

– 125 ML Mason Jar or any other glass jar that will seal and can hold more than 125ML

– 1/4 cup of Coconut Oil
– 1/4 cup of fractionated coconut oil (OR Grapeseed oil)
– 2 Tbsp of Beeswax
– 10 Drops of Doterras Breathe (AKA Easy Air) Essential Oil and 10 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil
-OR-
– 5 Drops of Eucalyptus Essential Oil, 5 drops of Peppermint Essential oil, 10 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil

How To Create:

– Put your Coconut Oil and Beeswax into your mason jar

– Microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until everything is melted

– Add your Fractionated coconut oil (or Grapeseed Oil) to the mix

– Add your Essential oils

-Stir

– Let sit to harden, you can leave it out overnight or you can place it in the freezer for 15- 20 MINS (once it’s removed from the freezer let it sit on the counter for about half an hour without the lid on, this will reduce any chance condensation)

SO easy and it’s amazing ya’ll !!! I was such a skeptic at first about Essential Oils but give it a try you won’t be sorry !

Let me know if you make it would love to hear the details ! thanks so much for coming by.

DIY Easy Peppermint Oatmeal Soap

I have been on a huge Essential Oil kick lately in my bath, my diffuser I even made some DIY Essential oil necklace’s. I’m a born crafter at heart I just love it especially when it’s easy, fun and cheap. Of course you can go out and buy cute soap but with this you do it and know EXACTLY what’s in it & gives it special meaning when and if you want to give as a gift.

Ingredients:

Clear Melt and Pour Soap Base – Buy @ a local store or HERE

Soap Mold – I bought mine at Michael’s

Soap Cutter – I used to use a knife until I found the real deal buy @ Hobby Lobby etc… or HERE

1 Cup Oatmeal

1/3 Cup Peppermint, crushed

20 drops Peppermint Essential Oils

Directions:

Cut up and melt the soap base.

In a blender mix up with oatmeal and peppermint until it forms a powder.

Stir the oatmeal/peppermint powder into the melted soap base.

Add 20 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil.

Pour mixture into your soap basin, top with oatmeal/crushed peppermint, and allow for it to set for an hour.

After firm remove from mold. Slice off a chunk and use.

There are so many helpful benefits of peppermint and not to mention the oatmeal is the best for DRY skin and mine stays DRY if I don’t stay on top of it. This is so easy and you can do it just the way I did or make it your own. Please ask if you have any questions at all I try to make everything detailed so anyone can make this easily.
