Find the main seam of your stuffed animal in the back. Using the seam ripper, cut open an area that is the exact length of your velcro. Place a few drops of the Essential Oil onto your pad/cotton and put it inside the hole. Now take your velcro and fit it inside the seam evenly on both sides and close it up. If the velcro is not staying as stuck to the fabric as you need, feel free to put a couple stitches in to hold it in place. Refresh the oil as needed.

Have you heard of the viral trend called Botox in a Bottle? If you have, read on; and if not, we will fill you in. Recently, the internet has really caught on to all of the valuable therapies that Castor Oil and Essential Oils have to offer. With that, a recipe has been floating around that people are calling a miracle wrinkle eraser. Now, we can’t guarantee that this blend is equal to Botox, but we can tell you why this recipe is great for the skin and what you need!

This ancient oil has been used for thousands of years for its incredible therapeutic benefits. Traditionally used for hair and skin care, this viscous oil is rich in ricinoleic acids and Omega 9 fats which makes it super moisturizing. Additionally, Castor Oil reduces inflammation and increases collagen production, which makes it ideal for anti-aging products. Studies have even shown that Castor Oil may be effective in treating infraorbital hyperpigmentation aka dark circles under the eyes.

Jojoba Oil

Golden Jojoba Oil is a wonderful carrier oil because it is abundant in vitamins E and B, as well as antioxidants. Jojoba mimics the sebum of your skin, so it balances moisture and oil production. It is also known for improving skin elasticity and reducing wrinkles. We also love that Jojoba is hypoallergenic and does not clog pores.

Frankincense Essential Oil

The “King of Oils,” aka Frankincense Essential Oil has been treasured for centuries and was even used in Egyptian tombs! But when it comes to skin applications, this remarkable oil is the top pick because of its many benefits. One major contribution to facial care is its ability to aid in cell turnover. This means that it can potentially help you achieve a more youthful and vibrant complexion. This also translates to improved skin texture and anti-aging support.

Botox in a Bottle Recipe

Add all of the ingredients into the roller bottle, pop the top on and rotate gently in your hands to mix. Apply as needed to your face to help prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Take care not to get too close to the eyes.

Arguably, one of the best parts of Halloween is carving pumpkins as a family. But one of the saddest things is when those adorable jack-o-lanterns rot away or get eaten by wildlife. Wouldn’t it be great if you could make those creative pumpkin decorations last longer? This easy and all natural Essential Oil preserver recipe will be a helpful tool this season in getting more time out of those treasured memories.

What you Need:

Castor Oil is used in this recipe for its ability to coat the pumpkin and add a touch of shine. We like this particular carrier oil for this DIY because it is antibacterial and antimicrobial, helping to preserve the pumpkin.

High Proof Alcohol is used to help mix the Essential Oils and water together, but it also keeps the mixture from going bad too soon.

Tea Tree Essential Oil slows down the growth of mildew or mold.

Peppermint Essential Oil repels bugs and animals.

Lemongrass Essential Oil prevents the pumpkin from rotting.

How to Make:

Into the bottle, mix together the alcohol and the Essential Oils. Add in the Castor Oil and swirl to mix. Fill the rest of the way with water and cap the bottle.

How to Use:

Shake gently and spray generously onto the outside of the pumpkin, focusing on the area where it is carved. If it rains on the pumpkin, remember to spray it again.

For safety purposes, only use a battery operated candle due to flammability.

Do-it-yourself projects can be super fun for a family, especially when the final product is something that works and that you will actually use! That is exactly what this homemade detangler recipe is all about. Natural ingredients with conditioning properties come together to create the perfect addition to your healthy beauty products

What you Need:

Apple Cider Vinegar is great for detangling hair as well as strengthening the hair by closing the cuticles of the hair shaft. It has also shown to be helpful at cleansing, fighting frizz and adding shine.

Golden Jojoba Oil acts as the conditioner in this recipe by moisturizing and restoring hair.

The Essential Oils will help to cover the smell of the ACV, while adding their own benefits. Ylang Ylang Essential Oil can improve hair texture and reduce damage. Juniper Berry Essential Oil purifies the scalp and may help to prevent hair loss. And Lemon Essential Oil encourages good hair health by restoring PH balance and adding natural shine.

How to Make:

Carefully pour the Jojoba Oil and Essential Oils into the bottle then swirl gently to mix.

Next add the Apple Cider Vinegar into the bottle and swirl again. 

Lastly, pour in the Distilled Water and place the spray top on. Roll the bottle around to incorporate all of the ingredients together.

How to Use:

Shake gently and mist preferably onto tangled hair, then comb out in sections, adding more spray as needed. Start at the bottom and move up the hair as the hair detangles bit by bit until you reach the root. Follow up with shampoo and conditioner when possible.

Vibrant, glowing skin is something we all strive for, so it is important to care for it in a healthy way. Using natural products and Essential Oils is a great way to nourish and revitalize your skin without any harsh chemicals. Toning your face after washing helps clear away any traces of impurities while balancing the pH level and providing hydration. Try mixing up this quick recipe and adding it to your skin care routine to maintain your beautiful glow.

What you Need:

Rose Hydrosol is a beautiful and gentle way to refresh, hydrate and soothe the skin.

Witch Hazel is a natural astringent that cleans deep, calms inflammation, and minimizes pore size. Geranium Essential Oil is incredible for balancing skin’s sebum, fighting acne, and tightening loose skin. Hawaiian Sandalwood is a very moisturizing oil that promotes a youthful glow.

How to Make:

Carefully place your drops of Essential Oil into the bottle and add in the Vitamin E. Gently pour in the Rose Hydrosol and Witch Hazel using a funnel or a pour spout, then put the top on the bottle. Roll the bottle around in your hands to mix up the ingredients.
