DIY Bronzer

Is it just me or are you ready for a nice sun kissed glow? I am tired of my wintertime shade of skin. If you are looking for a way to get the springtime glow during the winter blues check this out! 

These bronzing lotion sticks are the answer. These homemade lotion sticks provide extreme moisture for dry winter skin and add a beautiful sun-kissed glow without the harmful rays of the sun. Similar to our moisturizing lotion bars, these lotion sticks melt with the heat of your skin and are mess-free when stored in this convenient container. 

Ingredients: 

  • cup beeswax
  • ¼ cup shea butter
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa butter
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 1 teaspoon vitamin E
  • 20 drops of your favorite essential oil
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, for bronzer (you could also use 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder)

DIY Lotion Bars

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 

• 1 Tbs. Shea Butter 

• 2 Tbs. Cocoa Butter 

• 2 Tbs. Almond Oil 

• 1 Tbs. Jojoba Oil 

• 50 drops (apx. 1/2 tsp) essential oil of choice (optional) ...

Essential Oils & Immune Supports

Hey guys!!!!  This week I want to focus on our immune system.  With the rise in COVID and a heavier than normal cold and flu season this is the topic we need right now!!


When we talk about the immune system, we are actually talking about a complicated network of organs and cells. Several organs and cells make up the immune system, including your lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, lymphocytes (white blood cells known as B- and T-cells), the thymus, and leukocytes (another type of white blood cell). Each piece works together to defend and protect the body.

The Immune Support Kit
To keep each element of your immune system on track, doTERRA offers an Immune Support Kit.  Along with the probiotic supplement PB Assist®+, this kit includes all of the most popular doTERRA essential oils known to help protect your body from environmental and other threats.
