DIY

Soooo, I am going to say that I myself am not much of a DIY type of girl.  I have these great intentions to make my own body butters, face creams, bath salts, you name it.  I even have gone so far as to purchase all of the ingredients and yet I never get around to it.   THANKFULLY, Young living makes all of these wonderful products, and if you are a person like me, then you can skip right over this page and not think another thing of it.  You can just purchase your products already DONE.  HOWEVER,  I feel as though I am not the norm with those of us that use oils.  There are so many people that make all of these amazing DIY recipes.  Many of which, I have even tried myself.  So if you are one of those people that LOVE to Do-It-Yourself, continue on reading.  Here are some of my favorites that I have tried.

• 1 cup organic coconut oil
• 1 cup organic solid cocoa butter (do not use lotion)
• 15 drops of your favorite topical/aromatic essential oil (we love Joy, Orange, and Frankincense essential oils)­

Directions:

• Warm a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat, then add coconut oil and cocoa butter. Melt until completely liquefied, about 4–5 minutes.

• Stir in essential oils.
