It is finally here! My favorite time of the year!

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

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.

Ingredients:

½ cup distilled water

½ cup...
