Make Your Own All Natural Lip Balm! {Tutorial}
I am a certified lip balm addict! I spend a lot of money on lip balms and I am constantly testing them out, here on my blog. In fact, my very first review was for a lip balm company! Of course I was excited when I found out I could make my own with simple […]
D.I.Y. Natural Hand Sanitizer
Hand Sanitizer is a staple of any mom’s gear. While most people use it a lot during the cold and flu season, it is still important to have on hand for the summer. I use it for outdoor picnics when there is no facilities nearby to wash hands before eating or on camping trips and […]
All-Natural Lavender Heel Repair Stick
Balms are something people have been creating for a long time. As soon as people found out about the healing properties of herbs and oils, balms were created to treat everything from dry skin to pain to wounds to promote healing and well-being. This balm is no different. I love the smell of lavender and […]
Honey Green Tea Facial
I made some green tea body butter and I had a lot of leftover matcha powder so I decided I wanted to try to make something else with it. I had heard of the skin benefits of green tea (which is what matcha powder is, in powder form) and thought a facial might be something […]
Mint & Green Tea Whipped Body Butter
This recipe is a long time coming. I have wanted to come up with my own body butter pretty much since I started going more natural a couple years ago. I experimented with several that I found online and I always found them too greasy, too hard, too complicated and just not the right ingredients. […]
Almond-Scented Homemade Deodorant
I bought a stick of natural deodorant a while back and loved how great it smelled and the fact that it contained no aluminum. My husband is allergic to aluminum in deodorants so we tried it out on him to see if this kind irritated his skin. To our complete happiness, it didn’t. The only […]

You can find a chocolate orange at most big box retailers or on Amazon. What made them so fun besides them being […]
How to Make Lavender Infused Oil
I love essential oils and one of my favorite is lavender. While essential oils are great, they are also kind of spendy and need to be diluted with a carrier oil. They are a process to make as well, and most people don’t have the time, patience or equipment to make them at home. […]
3 Ingredient DIY Baking Soda Face Scrub
When baking soda started popping up in almost every face cleaner out there recently, I became curious about it since it’s a common household thing and very frugal. I discovered that since baking soda is a base (as in non-acidic), it can be very gentle on your skin, so it can be a great […]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Bath Bombs
You guys! I am so excited to bring you these bath bombs. These were a very happy accident as Bob Ross would probably say. I was actually trying to make a chocolate fudge round bath bomb and it was not working out at all. The first time I tried making them, my round bombs were […]
DIY Chocolate Lavender Fizzy Bath Powder
I have this lip balm I bought at the local co-op that is an intriguing flavor. It is chocolate lavender lip balm from Dagoba. At first, I thought this would be a scent I would not enjoy, but oddly enough not only do I enjoy it, but its mellow as well and can be great […]
