Peppermint Foot Cream

Peppermint has a wonderful cooling effect and feels SO good on tired feet.  Sometimes I add an extra drop of PanAway if my feet are extra sore to give ultimate relief.  What you will need:

•  1/4 cup shea butter
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 2 Tablespoons carrier oil
• 15 drops Peppermint essential oil
• Glass Jar or container with lid

Stinky Shoe Powder

This is a staple in my house with 5 teens.  The "no socks" craze leaves their shoes smelling like a hockey locker room (which, by the way, this stuff works awesome in sports bags on on sports equipment too!)   Here's what you need:

• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup baking soda
• 15 drops Purification Essential Oil
• Shaker jar (I bought a parmesan cheese shaker from the dollar store!)

Anti-Wrinkle Serum

This oil is as good as gold!  Frankincense can be used to help reduce the appearance of large pores, prevent wrinkles, and lift and tighten skin to naturally slow signs of aging.  You will want to invest in a good carrier oil for the face, which you will find at any health food store.   Here's what you will need:

• jojoba or rosehip oil filled 3/4 of your glass dropper bottle
• 10 drops Frankincense essential oil
• 5 drops Lavender essential oil
• Added beneficial oils as you add to your oil collection that are great for the face: Geranium, Myrrh, Rose and Patchouli
• Glass dropper bottle

Detox Bath Salts

 Spruce oils contain abundant monoterpenes, which are powerful antioxidants making this an excellent oil to bathe in for a detoxifying effect.  Mix the ingredients together in a bowl and add to your bath under the running faucet.  Soak minimum half hour. Here's what you will need:

• 1 cup Epsom Salts
• 1/2 cup Baking Soda
• 5 drops NLBS essential oil

Thieves Lip Balm

This lip balm recipe is great for nourishing lips without any chemicals!  The smell will have you head over heals in love!  Melt all the ingredients except the Thieves oil, add the drops and then pour into the tube and let harden. Here's what you will need:

•  2 Tbsp coconut oil
• 2 Tbsp shea butter
• 3 tsp beeswax
• 10 drops Thieves essential oil

• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 10 drops Lemon essential oil (peppermint oil is a great addition for a wake-me-up scent!)
• Glass jar with air tight lid
