Lavender Peppermint Sugar Scrub

If your looking for an attractive DIY project that's easy on the budget and simple for your kids to help with this would be it! Soothing, relaxing, toxin free jar of goodness! 

 As the air starts getting colder our skin often gets dryer and dryer. A sugar scrub helps to remove all of the dead skin leaving more room for moisture in your skin. 

 Lavender Peppermint Sugar Scrub Recipe: 

1/4 C. Coconut Oil

1/2 C. Sugar

4 drops Lavender Oil

4 drops Peppermint Oil

 Mix the Coconut Oil and Sugar together. 

 Once it's combined you'll add your Essential Oils. 

(If your looking for some other seasonal blends click HERE).

 Then fill your jars with the sugar scrub! 

I printed off cute labels from Avery.com and used some simple bakers twine to finish our project. 

This gift is affordable, useful and good for the skin!

Halloween Essential Oils

Halloween is almost here!

With all of the costume picking, pumpkin carving, Halloween parties and Trick or Treating it can be a bit exhausting. 

Here's a blend that will help you relax with this cozy, slightly spicy blend. 

Halloween Essential Oil Diffuser Blend

4 drops Orange Oil

3 drops Lavender Oil

2 drops Frankincense Oil

Benefits to this Oil Blend

{Wondering what rooms to use Essential Oils in? Check out this recent post on where to use your EO's.}

Orange oil is known to promote good digestion to help with all of those Halloween treats your kiddos will be getting into along with its immune boosting properties to ward off sickness and germs. Lavender oil is very calming and relaxing to aid in helping your little Trick-or-Treaters to calm down and drift off to sleep after an evening of excitement. Frankincense is known to help with anxiety, promoting feelings of peace and love. I love this fact especially with little ones who might become fearful with scary Halloween costumes they might see.

The best PURE Essential Oils for Sleep

Right at a year ago the Nation Sleep Foundation released a new recommendation for how many hours individuals should sleep. We must have sleep in order to function well, think clearly, have a healthy weight and be our best selves.

• Newborns (0-3 months): Sleep range narrowed to 14-17 hours each day (previously it was 12-18)
• Infants (4-11 months): Sleep range widened two hours to 12-15 hours (previously it was 14-15)
• Toddlers (1-2 years): Sleep range widened by one hour to 11-14 hours (previously it was 12-14)
• Preschoolers (3-5): Sleep range widened by one hour to 10-13 hours (previously it was 11-13)
• School age children (6-13): Sleep range widened by one hour to 9-11 hours (previously it was 10-11)
• Teenagers (14-17): Sleep range widened by one hour to 8-10 hours (previously it was 8.5-9.5)
• Younger adults (18-25): Sleep range is 7-9 hours (new age category)
• Adults (26-64): Sleep range did not change and remains 7-9 hours
• Older adults (65+): Sleep range is 7-8 hours (new age category)

It was also stated that having oils, candles, or sachets in your room could be a calming part of your bedtime
routine and increase the quality of sleep you have each night.
