Whipped "Bronzing" Body Butter



Whipped Bronzing Body Butter
Hormonal Help




This was a fun fun one to make! Ingredients I used were Cocoa Butter, Sweet Almond Oil, Coconut Oil, Cacao Powder, Ylang Ylang[buy here], Wild Orange[buy here], and Clary Sage[buy here].



I forgot to take a photo of the oils melted.. But I melted, in my make shift double boiler, 1 cup Cocoa Butter and 1/2 cup Coconut Oil. Then I took 2 tbsp of Cacao Powder and slowly mixed in 1/2 cup of Sweet Almond Oil in a separate bowl. Let the melted oils cool just a bit the add your Cacao and Almond mixture. Store in freezer for 10-15 minutes. You don't want it hard but solid enough to mix.

Now it's time to pull out the mixer.. I use a simple hand mixer with a whisk attachment to add the air for the fluffy texture!



After I mix and get a pretty fluffy texture I add in my essential oils. The amount of the drops you use are totally up to you.


This whipped body butter looked even better than the other one I made that morning. It went from marshmallow fluff to brownie batter fluffed. :) 


So lets talk some benefits of this Whipped Body Butter
[my husband hates that it's call body butter, ha ha, men].

I added Ylang Ylang Essential oil because it can be attributed to its properties as an antidepressant, antiseborrheic, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, hypotensive, nervine and sedative substance. Check out Ylang Ylang Benefits for more.

I added Wild Orange mostly because it smells delicious with the Cacao but also for all it's great benefits. Orange can be attributed to its properties as an anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, antispasmodic, antiseptic, aphrodisiac, carminative, diuretic, tonic, sedative and cholagogue substance. Check out Orange Benefits for more.

I added Clary Sage oil can be attributed to its properties like antidepressant, anti convulsive, anti spasmodic, anti septic, aphrodisiac, astringent, bactericidal, carminative, deodorant, digestive, emmenagogue, euphoric, hypotensive, nervine, sedative, stomachic and uterine. Check out Clary Sage Benefits for more.


The oils in this butter are to aide in helping with hormonal issues and high blood pressure. Specifically why I made this. There are plenty of other benefits and other oils to help with these issues these are just the ones I chose to use. And also to add a little color to your light skin. :)

Enjoy!

Cellulite and Stretch Mark "Help" 

Whipped Body Butter



Melt 1 cup of shea butter, 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1/4 cup cocoa butter in a double boiler or homemade double boiler. ;)



You'll start to notice it melting...




And finally it's all melted!




Place in freezer for 10-20 minutes until it has solidified but not hard.


Add essential oils.
I added these doTERRA essential oils:
Slim&Sassy[buy here]
Grapefruit[buy here]
Frankincense[buy here]
Cypress[buy here]




Whip until is nice and fluffy!


Then place the yummy fluffy whipped body butter into glass jars and enjoy!!


Remember not to apply before tanning or going out into the sun!


I am so excited to see how this stuff works for all my friends. :)
I think I will add more cocoa butter next time... and I am going to play with the oils and make more of these bad boys.

This should be a fun little addition to my already huge love for my essential oils.

New Year

Let's get on with it!

Last year ended wonderfully busy, this year started even more busy.. But I loved every minute of it.
Quick photos to update you:




We got engaged....
Then we....



... got hitched. :) 

It has been the best year already!

Next step... 
St. Lucia for our honeymoon.
And Babies!! Lots of babies! ha ha


Ok, that's that. Now I want to continue talking to you about being healthy. It's a day to day process. Step by step... I'm going to be focused on keeping up over here and helping in anyway I can!


Lets talk food... 

Bacon Wrapped Chicken








Best recipe I have ever done, says the mister.

Recipe:

10 medium sized Chicken Tenderloins
1 package Bacon[nitrate free is what I look for]
Rosemary Oil[buy here]
Mrs Dash Tomato Basil Garlic Powder
Pink Himalayan Sea Salt
Black Pepper Oil[buy here]
Coconut Oil

Simple steps:
1. Heat iron skillet on medium heat with coconut oil.
2. Lay out chicken, place 1 drop of rosemary oil, 1/2 drop black pepper, sprinkle Mrs Dash and salt to your liking[you can also leave out the black pepper if you do not like pepper].
3. Wrap bacon around each piece of chicken.
4. Cook on skillet for 8 minutes on each side.

Perfect and delicious every time.
* If you like your bacon crispier just leave on a little longer and turn up the heat on the stove. Not too long that you over cook the chicken.




I am about to start pumping out some body salves and butters. Be excited. I am! ;)




Enjoy your day. Be blessed! And get healthy!

Mrs.E

Autism and dōTERRA

Doing some research this morning and wanted to share with all of you if you know or have a child affected by Autism. (BTW these are my opinions and my thoughts after a little research, I am not a doctor or anything close.. just going by experiences)

Balance is to help calm senses and anxiety. It is a grounding blend. It is a blend of Spruce, Rosewood, Frankincense, Blue Tansy, and Fractionated Coconut Oil. Start with 1 drop behind the ears, neck, and bottom of feet.

InTune is to help stay focused with a positive thought process. This blend includes Sandalwood, Frankincense, and Lime to contribute to clarity and focus, while the benefits of Patchouli, Ylang Ylang, and Roman Chamomile are calming and soothing. Can be applied to the temples and back of neck. Also on wrists or back of hands to be inhaled deeply to promote focus and clarity. (Also for ADD/ADHD)

And if there is trouble with sleep Serenity blend is wonderful to help assist. It is Lavender on steroids.  Serenity combines the soothing scents of Lavender, Marjoram, Roman Chamomile, and Ylang Ylang with the warming aromas of Hawaiian Sandalwood and Vanilla Bean.

Any oil can be put on feet at first to get use to smell. If applied to bottom of feet the oils have been pumped through the whole body's bloodstream within 20 minutes. I would also recommend diluting any oils for children or anyone with sensitive skin with dōTERRA's Fractionated Coconut Oil or another type of vegetable oil(extra virgin coconut oil, grapeseed oil.. etc)

Balance is one of my favorites. Frankincense is an oil that can break through the blood brain barrier! Frankincense can do wonderful things for the brain and stimulation. I mean Jesus was given Frankincense so I'm guessing its an essential in our homes.  I put 2 drops of it under my tongue everyday... Not the best taste but it goes away.

Hope you enjoyed this quick little information.

Fitness, doTerra, and Advocare

Everything has changed for me! And definitely for the better!

Lets try a couple before and after photos to give you a visual..
less than one week.. Lavender, Melaleuca, and Frankincense. Mixed with Coconut Oil!


Advocare 24 Day Challenge!






My healthy lifestyle change began in February of 2013.
In February I did my first 24 day challenge... But got the flu in the middle so I gave up.
All my life I had never been into fitness or eating healthy.
I always ate what I wanted when I wanted and definitely never made it into a gym!

At the end of May I decided to do another 24 Day Challenge . This one I followed thru and the photos below show my results!
First day, 10.. and 24 day.
Working out everyday as well my abs began to show!!
Never in my life had I had abs showing!!

So that pushed me even farther to continue eating healthy and working out.
I have never regretted one workout I've ever done, just the ones I slacked on.
I promise you you will feel so much better if you start your journey to fitness like I did.
I am so in love with how I feel now and I want YOU to feel that same love.


Check it out! Or ask me questions!! I am here!! Promise!
And I am in the process of looking into the best place to get my Personal Training Certificate!
That's how big of an impact this has had on my life!

xoxo
Steph!

PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE!

A wonderful friend said this to me just this week.. 
"You can't read the next chapter of a book 
without finishing the previous chapter 
and turning the page. Right?"

He is so right.
But I'd like to shut previous chapters and burn them. :)
It'd be nice if life worked that way..

But.. it doesn't.
So on we go.. forward thru the wreckage.

It's been a long and crazy year for me.
I'm thankful it's all being laid to rest.
I needed it though.
God always has His plans.
I'm learning to trust Him.



Fair time with my most favorite person.. ;)

I went brown..
