    It takes 6 months to change a habit.

    Providing you with tools, education and tricks to make this a lifelong process for you and those that surround you. My desire is to try and help others to find things that they can integrate into their life to help them to reach their individual goals.

    I provide clients with tools to look at different aspects of their life that are imbalanced, to value themselves as others do and to bring greater joy to their life.

    I also provide clients with recommendations for resources, products and services that can benefit their journey to improved body and mind health and wellness.

    DIY Aloe and Coconut Oil Skin Cream

    Adapted from Aging Gracefully With Essential Oils by Eric Zielinski

    This super easy to make cream can be used as a carrier for any of your favorite essential oils. It is very good for the skin on its own, but even better with EOs!

     

    Ingredients

    • 1 tablespoon aloe vera gelly (not juice or gel)
    • 1 tablespoon organic coconut oil
    • 8 drops lavender essential oil

     

    Instructions

    1. Put the aloe jelly and coconut oil in a little jar with a lid and shake till well blended. You could use an immersion blender for this, but it is not needed. Once well mixed, add in the lavender essential oil and mix well.

    2 . Store in a glass jar.

     

    How to Use the Anti­Aging Skin Cream

    If you have eczema or dry skin it can help to neutralize the PH of the skin and gentle exfoliate before using the cream. My favorite way to do this is to put some Bragg apple cider vinegar on a cotton circle ( like you’d use for cosmetics) and gently wipe the area.

     

    Ready to Modify the Anti­Aging Skin Cream?

    Dryness is the #1 cause of wrinkles, so we need to focus on hydrating our skin in a healthy way. This is why the recipe above works so well for anti­aging, but it also works wonders for sunburns and light eczema; which are also related to dryness. You could use it for just about anything though because it’s gentle and safe for any skin!

    For bad eczema, I like to cut back to 4 drops of lavender essential oil and add 2 drops each of frankincense and melalueca (tea tree) essential oils.

    If you have other oils you’re wanting to use, or you think you might like to make up multiple blends you can make a large batch of the cream by just mixing the aloe gelly and coconut oil in a 1:1 ratio, then for every one ounce (2 T) of the cream blend add up to 8 drops of essential oils of your choice. You can mix and match as desired!

    • 1.5 cups OxiClean Laundry Baby Stain Soaker

    • 1-5 ml bottle of any citrus essential oil

    Instructions

    On Stove Top:

    Grate the entire bar of soap over LARGE pot on low heat – you can split it in two batches if you don’t have a large enough pot.
    Add 10 cups of water. Stir soap and water until dissolved on medium-high. Add OxiClean and WashingSoda in mixture until dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.

    In Bucket:

    Pour 4 cups hot water into each of the 6 buckets. Then add 2 cups of the soap mixture into each bucket with 40 drops of any citrus essential oil. Stir, then add enough cool water to fill each bucket. Let each bucket thicken overnight. And don’t forget to stir before each use because the detergent may get lumpy or gelatinize.
