DIY Face Cleanser/Moisturizer in one

Hey everyone! I had a crafty weekend on Saturday with some girl friends. We made natural Hand Sanitizer, CinnaMint Lip balms, Homemade Healing Salve and this homemade Face Cleanser/Moisturizer.

I have used it a few times since then and I really like it. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized without feeling greasy! In the morning my face doesn't already have that oily shine like it usually does after I wash my face at night. Plus the smell from the Geranium oil (YL) is amazing!

Try it out and let me know what you think!

DIY Pumpkin Spice Creamer (and Whole30 friendly)

Soooo.....my husband says that I like a little coffee with my cream and sugar. He may or may not (may) be right. One of the most challenging things for when I start my Whole30 next week will likely be my coffee. So in the weeks leading up to it, I've switched to coconut milk for my creamer and have been reducing the sugar in it.

Then I found this little recipe. So I whipped up some this morning.

I did make some changes, because, well we all know how good I am about following recipes (I'm not).

1 Can Coconut milk (Whole30 Compliant)
about 1/2 can Pumpkin Puree
2 drops YL Cinnamon Bark EO*
1 drop YL Clove EO*
1 drop YL Ginger EO*
1 drop Nutmeg EO*

--I left out the Vanilla extract because that has alcohol in it, therefore rendering it NOT Whole30 compliant, if you aren't doing Whole30 I'm sure it would be a great addition

I mixed in my stand mixer and added to my morning coffee. It's like a pumpkin spice coffee but with no sweetener but lots of flavor! So if you are looking for a way to "slay the sugar" dragon and make your coffee a little more like coffee, here is a great way to do it.

Enjoy!
