Natural Beeswax Lotion.

I just made this amazing lotion today. I really ROCKS!

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Olive oil
1/4 cup Coconut oil
1/4 cup Beeswax
1/4 tsp Grape-seed oil (Optional)   
10-15 drops of essential oil (I used Lavender)

Put all of the ingredients into a pint mason jar. Fill a small sauce pan about half of the way with water. Set the jar with the mixture into the pan, and put the heat to medium. Let the mixture melt completely. Then remove from heat, and take the jar out of the pan. Let the Lotion cool all the way. Then mix it, and Enjoy!

Natural Lip balm recipe.

I have never really liked wearing Lip balm, and I think it's because it would always dry out my lips and then I would have to re-apply over and over. So I decided to make my own Lip balm that was natural and wouldn't leave me with dried out lips.
I found a similar recipe to the one I've posted here, and I modified it to the way I wanted it.





Ingredients
2 tbsp Coconut oil
1 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp of shaved Beeswax
1-2 small drops of honey
5-6 drops of essential oil (optional)
1 small container like and empty lip balm tube or an Altoids Smalls tin.

Mix all of the ingredients (except for the essential oil) in a microwave safe bowl or measuring cup. Microwave for 1-2 minutes or until everything is melted. Pour the mixture into the container and let it set for a couple of hours or put it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
I made one without essential oil and one with peppermint oil. They were both very moisturizing and I was happy that they didn't dry out my lips.
