D.I.Y. Christmas Eve Aromatherapy

Happy Christmas eve!

Fill the room with Christmas LOVE and aromatherapy!

These are a few of my fragrant faves!

Holiday Diffuser Delight

Fill the diffuser like you normally do with water. For every oz. of water, add 3 drops of Peppermint essential oil. The room will smell amazing and clears your air and helps you breathe better too! Another simple delight is using Cinnamon essential oil.

Hand and body treat! Mix 4 oz. or more of unscented hand and body lotion with 2 drops of peppermint oil. Let it set a few hours. Stir well. Slather up. Enjoy this uplifting scent!

Fill a saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Toss in a few star anise or cloves and maybe a few cinnamon sticks depending on your desire. Turn down heat to simmer.Enjoy this stove top scent in your home.

Play with other essential oils and add a few candles to set the aromatic mood. It is so easy to create your own aromatic elixirs and smells divine too. Add a little creative fun to your day! Your home will smell amazing and your body will too!

Memorial Day weekend Tan

I can tell the way the phone calls for appointments stop at my sweet beauty retreat in sunny Florida and the phone rings less that we are coming upon a long holiday weekend.Our mail orders show us that people want all things to tan and give that gorgoeus tan glow.
But BEFORE you get your glow on you need this.

In order for your skin to receive self tanner in spray,powder or lotion you MUST exfoliate your skin both face and body.Say bye bye to dead tired skin and prep the skin for that I escaped to a beautiful island look.

I have many beauty recipes that I whip up from time to time in my recipe box.But this one I received from a friend had a sweet ingredient I have never added to my recipe.The sweet secret is HONEY.

Lemon Honey Sweet Sugar Scrub

1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of sweet almond oil
4 teaspoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons of honey
4 drops of lemon essential oil

First you mix the oil and sugar.
Next add the other ingredients and mix well.
Polish your skin using light pressure for 30-60 seconds.Pay special attention to your knees,elbows and any areas of concern where you have dry skin patches.

Wipe clean with a warm soft washcloth and rinse well.

Your skin will feel AMAZING,soft and silky smooth.
Now, your skin is ready for your self tanner or a base tan. But I professionally recommend NOT baking like a dozen chococolate chip cookies in the sun! Beach,patio or backyard PROTECT your beautiful skin from the harmful sun rays.
A little of the sun’s vitamin D goes a long way,my little cupcakes!

Have a beautiful weekend wherever you live. Celebrate life!
