đMagical Body Butter Blend: Serenityđ
As you can see this blend contains jasmine, rose and lavender oil to create a blend that attracts balance and peace.The blue candle and amethyst, jade, and moonstone also work to underline peace and to calm stress.
You need:
1 recipe Body ButterÂ
4 drops jasmine essential oil
4 drops rose essential oil
2 drops lavender essential oil
Pale blue candle and candleholder
Matches or lighter
Amethyst stone
Jade stone
Moonstone
How to do it:
Prepare the Body Butter as per the previous recipe, adding the jasmine, rose, and lavender oils where essential oils are indicated in the recipe.
When the Magical Body Butter is finished and placed in the container, bring it to your work space. Set the candle in the center of the work space, place the container of butter in front of it, and arrange the three stones in a semicircle in front of the container.
Light the pale blue candle, and say: Spirits of serenity, I invite you here. Lend to this butter your peace, your calm. May I be blessed by you each time I use it. .
Touch the amethyst and say, âAmethyst, I invoke your calm. Lend it to this butter.â
Touch the jade and say, âJade, I invoke your tranquility. Lend it to this butter.â 6. Touch the moonstone and say, âMoonstone, I invoke your peace. Lend it to this butter.â
Sit at your work space with your eyes closed, breathing deeply, sensing the calm around you. When you feel it is right, you may extinguish the candle and leave, or allow the candle to burn down completely to continue to charge the butter.
đŒHerbal Tea Hair RinseđŒ
Just as an addiction I added my herbal hair rinse to this list because for me it works really well. My hair is less greasy plus I love the smell of my hair after this rinse. đ
You need:
1 tablespoon of Chamomile tea
1 tablespoon of  Green tea
1 tablespoon of Jasmine tea
1 tablespoon of Peppermint tea
1 tablespoon of Lavender tea
1 tablespoon of  Rooibos tea
Additional: One of them drawed my attention to rosemary which can be a good addition to this recipe! So if you would like to add rosemary as well in my opinion 1 tablespoon of it will be enough. Â
How to do it: Â
Brew a strong tea out of the herbs. (Because I have long hair I usually make 1 liter of strong brew.)
Let it sit and cool to roome temperature.
After washing your hair and putting your regular balming your hair, Â slowly pour the brew through your hair and massage your scalp.
You can rinse with water your hair after the herbal rinse, but personally I love leaving out this step because water makes the good herbal tea smell go away.
