Oil Recipes

I've been having great luck with my recipes so far! Super excited and want to replace all of my body care products with DIY ones.  This list is for others who may want to create their own things, and for my records to come back to.

ENJOY!

All oils come from Young Living. All links are to Amazon...

• 8 drops Eucalyptus
• Combine all ingredients in shampoo bottle 2 Pack Refillable 16 Ounce HDPE Squeeze Bottles With BOTH Press Disc Caps And Flip Up Spout Caps-Natural semi-translucent color, shake, and use.  VERY small amount goes a long ways.  I've never had a shampoo that goes so far.  Loving it!

Dry Toothpaste

I have never brushed with a powdered toothpaste but I am sold now!  My mouth and teeth have never felt fresher and cleaner after brushing!  No flouride, no sugar or sweetener, no bad stuff...PERIOD!

You can add more coconut oil and make more of a paste if the powder is too hard for you.

• Essential Oils for taste/scent (I used Peppermint and sweet orange)
• Combine coconut oil and baking soda, it will be somewhat lumpy, the more you mix, the less lumpy. Once combined add your essential oils and place in a glass jar.  Wet your tootbrush with water, dip into powder, and brush!
