Naturally Tinted Lip Balm

I’ve tried this recipe a few weeks ago, and I have no intention of ever buying lip balm again, it’s that good.

This natural, plant-based, herbal solution for tinted lip balm has just a bit of beautiful burgundy tint. I use it every day for work and the compliments just keep coming every time.

Herbal Bath Salts

A long bath in an herbal bath is one of my favorite ways to relieve stress and relax my aching muscles. This wonderful recipe also includes Epsom salts, which make it a great detox bath as well.

I’m officially addicted to this, and my week is not complete without it.

Mint Chocolate Whipped Body Butter

I couldn’t describe this gorgeous recipe better than Heather, who came up with this amazing recipe:

“This Mint Chocolate Body Butter is formulated with cacao powder, which diminishes the oily finish associated with many body butters and also serves as a light bronzer.

Slather it on during the blah winter months or when shorts season hits for a little sun-kissed glow!”

Non-Toxic Homemade Sunscreen

Industrial and even the “healthy” mineral based sunscreens have some pretty questionable ingredients in them (endocrine disruptors and nanoparticles which were linked to accelerated skin aging, cancer, and environmental toxicity.

Heather from Mommypatomus has the natural solution you can make at home, and I want to thank her for sharing her extensive research on the whole subject.

I never imagined you can make glitter gel by yourself. I made this one for my daughter because I don’t want the awful stuff that the industrial ones have to get in her body through her skin.

This one was truly a revelation to me (and it makes a great gift for the nieces!)

Have you ever thought that you can make homemade mascara?

Even the expensive organic mascaras have some ingredients that seem questionable. What if you can make your own completely natural mascara?

    Absolutely agree: Why in the world would anyone use industrial ingredients when far better quality and performance can be found in totally organic, readily available methods?

  2. Thanks for the great post. I love your lip balms and your homemade natural facial cleanser. Definitely worth a try! Time for the world to go natural and avoid all the toxic chemicals out there.
