Honey Orange Blossom Body Scrub
1/2 cup sugar
4 T. honey
10 drops orange blossom oil
1 cup olive oil
In a mixing bowl, place 1/2 cup of sugar.
Next, add the honey
Now place the essential oils into the mixture.
The last step is to stir in the cup of olive oil
Keep this mixture in a shower proof container. Use it after you’ve washed your body with soap.

Followed by the…

Blooming Body Mist
1 cup distilled water
1/2 cup organic rose petals
1/4 cup lavender flowers
10 drops rosehip essential oil
5 drops lavender essential oil
Place the water in a pan and turn the heat on to medium high heat, until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat so the water is simmering, add in rose and lavender flower, then turn
off heat, let cool and sit for 20 minutes.
What we’re doing is infusing the water with these fragrances.
Next, strain the water through a colander, pour it into a spray bottle.
Now add your essential oils.
Put on the spray top, give a gentle shake, then spray on the body.

Simple Moisturizer:
1/4 cup jojoba oil
1/4 cup grape seed oil
1/4 teaspoon bergamot oil
1/4 teaspoon ylang ylang oil
1 vitamin E capsule
bottle
1. Combine the jojoba oil and grape seed oil in the bottle.
2. Add two essential oils to give it a pleasant scent.
3. Add one capsule of vitamin E. Best way to add is to prick the capsule and then squeeze it in.
Give your oil mixture a good shake and it’s ready to use. For best results, apply the oil directly after your shower while you’re still wet. Then pat dry. You’ll seal in that moisture
and feel simply beautiful while keeping that itchy, dry  skin at bay.

Clarifying Grapefruit Toner
Juice of one grapefruit
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
For our grapefruit toner we need to juice this entire grapefruit. Best when bought ripe, I am using a beautiful ruby red.
Combine the juice with the apple cider vinegar and apply sparingly to face with a clean cotton ball. Leave for 5 minutes, then gently wipe off with warm, wet towel before
moisturizing.

And if you’re heading out tonight…

Glittery Body Glow
1 cup sweet almond oil
1 tbsp mineral makeup, golden
10 drops natural perfume or essential oil
I am using a bottle with a spout so I can pour small amounts of this body glow directly onto my skin, then just rub it in. Pour in the almond oil
Now add the mineral makeup, I found this powdered eye shadow works really well.
Last, add your favorite natural perfume or essential oil.
Put on the top and swish the bottle around to incorporate the minerals and essential oil with the almond oil. Then smooth onto arms, chest and legs for a glittery glow that will last
all day long!
