Muscle Mending Massage Bar!

 I took a tumble down the stairs over the weekend so this is low-key perfect timing. lol.

Anyway, not only are these easy to make they can make a great gift for the holidays if you find yourself stumped on what to buy your friends and family

Tools You’ll Need

Medium size saucepan

Measuring cup

Silicone or Wooden Spoon

two Massage Bar Mold

Ingredients

8 oz. Beeswax (or Carnauba Wax if you’re vegan)

8 oz. Cocoa Butter

4 oz. Shea Butter

2 oz. Avocado Oil

1.25 oz. Jojoba Oil

2.8 oz. Muscle Mending Organic Essential Oil Blend (You can find it a Sprouts and possibly Whole Foods)

The reason I said you’ll need two molds is because I made too much and didn’t have an extra mold to put it in (whomp) but they still came out great. Also I didn’t feel like blending a bunch of essential oils myself thats why I opted for the Muscle Mending blend. It’s a blend of Eucalyptus, Lavender, Orange, Tea Tree, Wintergreen, Everlasting Corsica, and Cornmint. It will help soothe aches and discomfort, supplies a cooling sensation to muscles, and will help you relax after a long day. Use it on your back, shoulders, achy joints, injuries, or wherever you feel discomfort. 

Instructions

Melt the beeswax, cocoa butter, shea butter, and avocado oil in double boiler and melt it (stir mixture to help it melt faster)

Add jojoba oil and essential oil blend (stir again to mix evenly)

Pour into molds and let the bars cool until they are solid (I placed mine in the refrigerator)

Summer to Fall Skincare Routine

  Summer 2018 was LIT! For the first time in a long time, we had more than 2 weeks of sun! Temperatures were hitting 32 degrees and above but alas the cooler days are here! My skin this summer was a well-behaved teenager too, I stepped up my routine and added new products and trialled new ingredients that could help combat the heat and it paid off! My skin remained normal/oily combo instead of…

Hey babes, a couple of months ago, near when I first started this blog I told you guys my morning routine, you can read it here if you like

So it feels right that after all this time I should write my night-time routine.

Now it’s December in the evening I like to get cosy and relax,

When it starts getting late I like to curl up in a blanket and read a book, I’m currently reading; what’s a girl gotta do?’ by Holly Bourne. The book is based around feminism, but also entails friendships, relationships, and choices you have to make after school, I’m really enjoying it, and I’m near the end now

The first thing I do is take my make up off and start my skin care routine, the products I use in order are:

Garnier - cleansing water

Nivea - cleansing wipes

ClearSkin – invigorating scrub

Clean and Clear – cream wash

Avon care – moisturiser

ClearSkin – overnight spot treatment

Vaseline – lip therapy - rose and almond oil

If you want to find out more about my skin care routine you can check the video here:

After all that’s done it’s about 9:00pm, I grab a big cosy blanket, light a candle and get into bed and 9 times out of ten I’ll watch some YouTube, my favourite ones to watch at the moment are, Kristen McGowan, Dolan Twins, Bobby Mares and Kian and Jc.

I normally watch YouTube for an hour so I turn my laptop off at roughly 10:00pm and by that time I’m normally getting tired, So I get comfy in bed and because I share a bedroom with my little sister so once I’m cosy in bed me and my sister have a little chat about what we did that day and anything that’s happened and by the time we’ve finished chatting it’s usually 10:15/10:30pm, so I set my alarm for the morning and go to sleep.
