Spa Night Recipes

Our Spa Night was so much fun. Thanks to Amber Dickson for hosting, Laraine Webb and Katrina Garvin for teaching classes, Carolyn Friberg for the healthy smoothies and treats, and to all of you who came. We had a great turnout!

Here are the recipes for the homemade beauty products in case you are interested:

Peppermint Foot Scrub:
1 1/2 cups coarse sea salt
1/2 cup grapeseed oil (or use an oil of your choice)
6 drops peppermint essential oil (or use an oil of your choice)

Mix ingredients together and store in a container.

Chia Seed Exfoliant:
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chia seeds

Mix the ingredients together and store in a clean jar. To use, dampen face and apply scrub in a circular motion to damp face. Allow the mixture to set for two minutes before using a wet washcloth to remove. Splash cold water on your face when you've finished. Store in fridge for 3-5 days.

Whipped Cocoa Citrus Body Butter:

1/2 cup of organic coconut oil
1/2 cup of Fractionated Coconut oil (you can double the regular coconut oil but it will be a little more oily)
1/2 cup of pure organic cocoa butter
1/2 cup of pure organic shea butter
15 drops of grapefruit essential oil
15 drops of wild orange essential oil

Place all the ingredients except your essential oils in a glass bowl. I used a 4 cup glass measuring cup. Place that bowl in a pan filled about 1-2 inches with water and turn the heat to medium. Allow the oils to fully melt.

Remove the glass bowl from the pan and allow it to cool for a few minutes then place in the refrigerator for about 2 hours to fully cool.

Transfer the cooled oils to a stand mixing bowl or use a hand mixer and whip them on high for several minutes until you get a fluffy consistency (see the photo above). Add your essential oils and whip another minute to combine.

Transfer to a glass storage container and keep in a cool place out of the sunlight.
