Oh my goodness you guys! This rosemary-mint goat milk soap smells divine, and that creamy milk-based soap just can’t be beat! I have a whole list of our favorite essential oil blends for soap making, and this particular blend isn’t on the list - because this is the first time I’ve ever tried it. Keep Reading
Homemade Body Lotion
**Updated Picture from more recent batch** I’ve been an on again, off again homemade lotion maker for a long time. Ever since I found and fell in love with homemade baby lotion, that’s kind of been my go-to. But then there’s the stretch mark cream recipe, and I like that one as Keep Reading
Homemade Peppermint Cough Drops Recipe
It’s that time of year again! Yup, along with all the pumpkin spice, and sweater weather, it’s… cold and flu season!

Homemade Shea Butter Lotion Bar Recipe
Don’t you just love homemade lotion? You rub oils into your skin that not only hydrate, but nourish, and even though you can feel good about rubbing all the lotion you want into your skin, you really don’t need to use as much. I usually tend to use a combination of homemade baby lotion for my face, Keep Reading
Gentle Homemade Face wash
One of my favorite homemade skin care recipes ever is baking soda face wash. Love, love, love it! But it’s not something I can use every day. Every week yes, every day, no.

How To Naturally Cure Sunburn
Summer is coming up quickly and that means that the weather is going to be climbing in temperature. Nothing is worse than being out in that boiling hot sun and coming home with a sunburn. If my time in Florida last month taught me anything, it's that you never truly know how just how burned you Keep Reading
Homemade Eucalyptus Sugar Scrub
I love homemade sugar scrub. For someone who doesn’t take baths, that may sound crazy (hey don’t look like that, I take showers. :P), but in my opinion, exfoliation is highly underrated (if that’s possible). I mean, aside from the fact that it’s ridiculously easy to make, Sugar scrub is the best Keep Reading
