White Angelica Essential Oil blend is one of my favorite blends from Young Living. It is made up of 10 essential oils: the Geranium, Ylang Ylang, and Rose essential oils provide some floral notes. The Bergamot and Melissa essential oils offer a boost of bright citrus. Finally, the Myrrh, Northern Lights Black Spruce, Coriander, Hyssop […]
Soothing Skin Cream
I developed this homemade skin cream based on two of our favorite soothing skin cream recipes. The pure coconut oil was too strong for Bug’s skin, so we cut it with shea butter. It’s perfect for Bug (and her cousins) so I hope you or your kids love it, too! Essential oils have absolutely changed […]
School Days Essential Oil Shampoo Blend
It’s that time of year in the South apparently. We have a bit of an annoyance issue at our elementary school this year.

Let’s Talk about Water-Based Lube, Baby…
Let’s talk about you and …OK, not me, you and your special friend. 🙂 There are some amazing homemade lube recipes out there that use essential oils.

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin, What? How to Make Your Own Wool Dryer Balls

So, we ordered him some Citrus Fresh, Lemongrass and Cedarwood for manlier smelling personal care products. Check out my post over at Don’t Mess with Mama for more manly conversions on my essential oils beauty products. Meanwhile, try this […]
Kid-Friendly Squeezable Homemade Toothpaste & How to Say ‘No’ to Dentists
Homemade toothpaste wasn’t something I ever thought I’d be whipping up on my weekend. But, my 5-year-old got some bad news at the dentist last week. She has a tiny cavity on one of her molars. I was super bummed because we’d been loosely following the Cure Tooth Decay protocol. To be honest, with one […]
Homemade Deodorant Stick Plus Bonus Deodorant Recipes!
Homemade deodorant is awesome and pretty darn easy. Store-bought deodorant is full of all kinds of icky stuff. But some of the homemade or all-natural stuff just doesn’t work for me. I’ve finally found one that works great. It’s made from cornstarch, baking soda and coconut oil with a bit of essential oil mixed in. […]
