With all of the germs floating around, I thought it was time to share this gem of a recipe. Every time I talk to someone or see someone's story on social media, someone has some sort of sickness. It is so important that we support our immune systems as we gather for the holidays, send the kids off to school, and indulge in all of the yummy holiday goodness.
This recipe is a favorite in our home. With my husband in particular! It makes a great gift for teachers, co-workers, or any one who loves a good cup of tea. Take a peek at the recipe and DIY video below!
Essential oil infused honey and tea set!
I LOVE this gift idea!! I have gifted the honey for a group of 25. It was super affordable and very much appreciated! I simply printed the uses on an Avery Business card template and popped the card in a small bag with the honey. The honey dipper, tea, and mug really take this DIY up a notch. The recipe for the honey is below.
1.5 ounces of honey
5 drops Thieves
10 drops Orange or Lemon oil
Mix thoroughly in jar. Add up to a teaspoon of honey to your favorite tea. I paired this one with YL's Spiced Turmeric tea. It is a favorite around here for a cozy and warm beverage in the evening. This budget friendly and thoughtful gift will be very much appreciated.

It is officially fall...
My décor is out, and things are starting to feel cozy in our home. A big part of bringing those warm fall feelings into your home, are the aromas that greet you at the door and linger all day long! Over the years, it seems the first aroma that comes to mind when fall hits is “Pumpkin Spice”. Whether it be in your drink, lotion, or hand soap, we always want that sweet spice.
I was delighted to discover all the fall essential oils several months after I started making healthy product swaps in my home. When I can make my home smell like autumn AND keep the air in my home healthy for my family, it is a win.
The perfect Pumpkin Spice essential oil blend includes Orange, Cinnamon Bark, Clove, Nutmeg, and Ginger. You can add them to your fall mixtures and diffusers one oil at a time, OR you can choose to make a large batch of Pumpkin Spice blend using the above oils. Either way, this bundle of oils is the perfect way to create all things fall. We are talking room sprays, body mist, hand soap, cleaners, etc.
To make a 15 mL batch of your Pumpkin Spice blend, you will want to use an empty essential oil bottle or grab a 15 mL glass dropper bottle from Amazon.
Add the following amounts to the bottle:
100 drops of Orange
100 drops of Cinnamon Bark ( about 1 5mL bottle)
30 drops of Clove
30 drops of Nutmeg
30 drops of Ginger
This Pumpkin Spice blend will be what you add to your diffuser, sugar scrubs, room sprays, cleaners, etc.
Below, you can find my new fall hand soap recipe using this blend!

It is time to start planning for that holiday budget and gift giving. I love sharing this recipe every year!
It is CANDY CANE SUGAR SCRUB time!
I have never met a single person who did not fall in love with this refreshing and sweet, sugar scrub. I have even been offered money for another. :) The layered pattern is a perfect holiday design. You could make several of these well under budget. Your recipient will be thrilled! I've even had people come to me and ask me to make them another.
Here is your recipe :
4 ounce jar
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup Himalayan salt ( so good for the skin)
1/4 cup coconut oil
Cedarwood, Stress Away of Vanilla, Peppermint OR Spearmint essential oils. I prefer Spearmint 
In one bowl, combine sugar with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 10 drops of Stress Away or Vanilla.
In another bowl, combine salt with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 5 drops each of Spearmint or Peppermint & Cedarwood.
When the mixtures are a moldable consistency, begin to layer the sugar with the salt inside of the jar to create a white and pink pattern. Seal the jar with your lid and add a decorative bow to gift.
This recipe contains Himalayan salt as well as Cedarwood! Not only with this mixture smell delightful but it will provide support to scaly, dry, or irritated skin.
*If you would like to make an 8 oz. scrub, simply double the recipe!
To order the oils for this fun DIY,
Did you know that Thieves Mouthwash contains colloidal silver. With the combination of colloidal silver and essential oils, you are guaranteed an AMAZING funk fighting combination without the use of harsh ingredients that tend to leave your mouth stinging or burning. That is another reason why, you have an effective throat spray and fresh breath spray. The ingredients are actually serving a purpose. There is more than just fresh, bright, flavors going on here :)
These are some awesome recipes to make with just one bottle!
