SpOIL Yourself Saturday

Ready for some recipes that make you feel like you are at the spa without having to spend huge amounts of money? Lemon oil offers a nice energizing aroma as well as powerful properties when it comes to cleaning and whitening.

First, lets take care of those pearly whites and keep them even whiter. Give this teeth whitening paste a try and let me know your thoughts!

Teeth Whitening Paste

Ingredients:

  • 1 tablespoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon distilled water
  • 5 drops doTERRA lemon oil

Instructions:

  1. Mix baking soda and water together in a small bowl.
  2. Mix well until it creates a paste.
  3. Mix in doTERRA lemon oil.
  4. Wet toothbrush and place in mixture.
  5. Apply paste to teeth and brush gently.
  6. Allow paste to sit on teeth for 1 minute and rinse off.
  7. Do 1-2 times weekly for the best results.

 

Next up we have an all natural pick me up spray. Ever feel like you are lacking motivation and energy. Do you tend to hit that 2PM midday slump? Mix up a bottle of this to keep with you and spray on when you hit that slump for a pick me up. The other way I like to use this is spray it into the ends of your hair for a pick me up that last throughout the day!

Pick Me Up Spray

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup distilled water
  • 10 drops doTERRA peppermint oil
  • 10 drops doTERRA lemon oil
  • Glass spray bottle with fine mist top

Instructions:

  1. Combine water and essential oils in spray bottle.
  2. Spritz onto body or in air and inhale deeply for a instant pick me up.

 

Finally, if you are like me you rarely clean your makeup brushes. But lets face it ladies, you need to keep those brushes clean to help keep your skin as clean as possible. So for our final recipe today, I have a quick, easy, and affordable make up brush cleaner.

Make Up Brush Cleaner

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup hot water
  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon liquid Castile soap

  2. Dip makeup brush into the solution and swirl around.
  3. Rinse brush well with cold water.
  4. Gently squeeze out water using a paper towel.
  5. Lay brushes flat on paper towel to dry.

See you tomorrow,

Weekends should be about relaxing and spoiling yourself, am I right? So each Saturday is going to be dedicated to spoiling yourself using the essential oil of the week. Lavender is a GREAT oil to start this off with because it has so many great relaxing benefits. So dedicate a few hours to yourself this weekend and be prepared to relax.

We will start off super simple with one you can even make and enjoy later. I like to keep a jar of these in the bathroom, because you never know when you will have time for a nice relaxing bath.

Lavender Bath Salts

  • 2 cups bath salts
  • 3-5 drops doTERRA lavender oil
  • jar for storage
