DIY Sleepy Time Cream Recipe

Sometimes there’s nothing better than a good night’s sleep. It sets the stage for a great start to an amazing day! I recently made up some DIY recipes using essential oils for gifts and this is one of my favorites. Toss in a small pillow and journal to create a sweet gift set. EVERYONE needs a good night’s rest so it’s a one size fits all kind of gift.

Cool Off this Summer

Summer is my favorite season of all but no one is a big fan of super hot heat and humidity. Especially when we’re working on DIY projects outdoors. Peppermint Vitality essential oil added to a glass of ice water is super refreshing!

Berry Grapefruit Yogurt Smoothie Popsicle Recipe

Summer time is the best time of the year for cold refreshing treats, isn’t it? And this girl lives 1/2 mi. from Dairy Queen. But I really should be looking for something a little on the healthier side so the other day I turned my kitchen counters into a test kitchen and whipped up this delicious berry-grapefruit-yogurt smoothie and popsicles. SO GOOD!
