I recently got my hands on a few new essential oils and have fallen utterly in love with yuzu and fine lavender. Just the other day, I created a homemade soy candle using these stunning essential oils and knew that I wanted to incorporate them in a few more DIY projects, hence today’s recipe –…

DIY Hiker’s Calamine Lotion Stick
If you’re an avid hiker, chances are you’ve come across poison oak, poison ivy, or sumac along the way. There’s almost nothing worse than realizing that you’re either standing in a grove of the stuff or belatedly finding out you’ve brushed up against one of these rash-inducing plants. Whichever the case may be, getting poison…
How to Remove Blackheads Using Floss??
I often come across beauty trends that seem too good to be true, but this time around I think we’ve got a winner – using dental floss for removing blackheads. Yeah, I know, it sounds really really strange and kind of gross when you think about it, but hear me out on this one! How…
Perfect Pout Peppermint Lip Scrub
Every December there is a flurry of Christmas parties to attend whether it’s with friends and family or a company work function. I’ve always enjoyed getting dressed up in fancy dresses or cheesy Christmas sweaters, getting my hair done, and throwing on a bold lip. What I don’t enjoy? Crazy dry lips that make your…
Douglas Fir and Mint Whipped Body Butter
Have you ever wanted to smear yourself with the fresh coniferous scent of a forest and come out with super smooth glowy skin that smells like heaven? I know I have! In fact, I often dream about ancient pine forests filled with spruce, cedar, and douglas fir blanketed in snow this time of year. The…
Winter Frankincense and Myrrh Serum
Over the last few months, I have been getting back into a love affair with rosehip seed oil. I sort of took a long hiatus in order to try out other facial oils, but I have to say, sometimes an oldie can really be a goodie. I’ve really been getting into the whole “simple is…
Homemade Medicated Lip Balm
During the dry winter months, I really enjoy using a homemade medicated lip balm more than anything else. The cooling sensation, healing essential oils, and moisturizing butters and carrier oils make for the perfect protectant and healing combo. Lately, I’ve been messing around with a few new ingredients in order to achieve a consistency close…
Lavender Rosemary Eyelash Growth Serum
I’ve always been fascinated by the many eyelash growth serums available nowadays, but never felt like forking over the fifty-plus dollars in order to get those long luscious lashes I’ve always wanted. I always thought those products were so overpriced, and some of them are even known to change your eye color to a muddy…
Lavender Orange Bath Bombs
One of my favorite DIYs has to be making bath bombs and it’s been far too long since I’ve made them. If you’re anything like me, taking at least one night a week to fully enjoy a luxuriating bath is key to keeping stress levels at a manageable level. Include a beeswax candle, spa music,…
Chai Rose Lip Balm
Here in Southern California, we don’t get those wet winters like most places. Instead, we get bone dry weather that sucks ever ounce of moisture from your skin. Lately, it just seems like the days just get dryer and dryer to the point where I carry around a tube of lip balm like it’s an…
