It is finally here! My favorite time of the year! Summer, Summer, Summer Time!  Being outside has so many health benefits, but being outside includes being exposed to the SUN.  The Sun is wonderful and gives us a beautiful bronze glow, but it’s UV rays can be harmful to our skin.

Today, I want to talk about how to make soaps with these fun homemade soap recipes.  I love making my own soap and knowing exactly what I am exposing myself and my family to. 

These soap recipes can be made in any shape.  I found silicone molds at the grocery store and snatched them up because I knew they would be the cutest shapes for soaps! 

You can make your own soap base with lye but I prefer to use a pre-made soap base.  It is easy to use and inexpensive to purchase.  For this project, I decided to use a goats milk soap base because it is so luxurious and moisturizing.  

Lavender Goat’s Milk Soap

1.  1.You will begin by placing your soap base in a microwave-safe dish.

As you age, your skin changes. It’s normal and happens to everyone even though none of us want to admit it. While some might suggest you need to turn to Botox, plastic surgery, and other interventions as you age, it can be incredibly rewarding to simply welcome aging skin with grace. The wrinkles of experience, laughter, and love that line your face are beautiful treasures.

THE IMPORTANCE OF CARING FOR YOUR SKIN:

Did you know your skin is actually the largest organ of your body? It acts as a protective barrier and helps with temperature regulation, among other important duties. You can do many things to show your skin some appreciation, keep it healthy, and naturally encourage that coveted youthful glow. Here are five to start tips to get you started.

1. Eat healthy and drink plenty of water. Eating right and staying hydrated benefits just about every aspect of your health, including the skin. Just like the other organs, your skin needs nutrients and hydration to thrive. If...

Taking a bubble bath can be a fun treat for kids, or part of a relaxing nighttime ritual for adults. However, most store bought bubble baths are full of artificial chemicals, fragrances and can be irritating to your skin. To reduce the chemicals in your home, but still enjoy the benefits of all the bubbles, I recommend making your own bubble bath with essential oils and other ingredients that are gentle on your skin.

While you could add essential oil directly to your bath, essential oils are not water soluble, meaning they won't dissolve in water alone and will sit on top of your bathwater. To resolve this issue, you would normally add essential oils to epsom salt or soap and add it to the water. In this case, the other ingredients in my DIY bubble bath help disperse the oil throughout the water in the same way.

Including an essential oil in your bath is a great choice when you want to create a specific atmosphere. For example, for a relaxing bath, use...

Is it just me or ya’ll as just as tired of this winter weather as I am? Well hopefully we are getting close to putting this cold, dry weather behind us and we can use these all natural homemade lotion bars to nourish our wintertime skin! 

Lotion Bars are a wonderful, natural alternative to traditional lotions and they are easy to make at home. Lotion bars are far more concentrated than a typical liquid lotion because they do not contain any water, and the handheld bars look like a bar of soap. But because they contain no water, lotion bars do not require any preservatives and are shelf stable for at least 6 months!

Below is my simple, easy recipe!! Feel free to change it up with different oils to achieve the scent of your liking.

Ingredients: 

• 1/4 cup Beeswax

This week I want to talk about essential oils and hand care, and I can’t believe it took me soooo long to do this...  I’m gonna give ya’ll some amazing recipes that will really up your hand care routine…and a small education on fractionated coconut oil.   

When you buy coconut oil at the grocery store, it is semi-solid at room temperature and, while perfect for cooking, can be hard to use on skin unless melted or whipped first. Enter Fractionated Coconut Oil, a form which stays liquid at room temperature. To achieve this, coconut oil goes through a chemical-free process to take out the long-chain fatty acids (triglycerides) that give coconut oil its solidity. Taking out these fatty acids also extends the oil’s shelf life indefinitely.

Fractionated Coconut Oil can be used on its own as a moisturizer, but it is also useful in this DIY coconut oil lotion for both your body and face.

½ cup distilled water
