Homemade Chamomile Oil

This Homemade Chamomile Oil is a healing and soothing oil. You can use this on your face, body, or hair. 

Chamomile has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that can help soothe the skin, reducing redness and blemishes. It can even relieve skin irritations like eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea. The antioxidants also help boost skin health, which may also help with reducing the appearance of fine lines.

I chose to use Jojoba Oil because it is suitable for all skin types. It absorbs quickly without being greasy and also balances excessively dry or oily skin.

I also used Almond Oil because it contains many nutrients and also has anti-inflammatory properties. Sweet almond oil can reduce puffiness and under-eye circles, inproves complexion and skin tone, treats dry skin, and can also treat acne. 

This Homemade Chamomile Oil is a MUST HAVE for these winter months due to all the benefits mentioned above. What are you waiting for?! Let’s get to making this super easy oil for yourself or a great gift idea!

Lavender Milk Bath

Now that the holidays are upon us, I am wiped out and just want to hibernate! It’s been cold, gloomy and dark here. To help me relax I like to unwind at nights with a Lavender Milk Bath. I usually like to add essential oils to the bath water but I decided to try a milk bath instead.

I love how this turned out, especially the aroma of the lavender is very calming and soothing. It helps me to unwind after a long day.

This easy recipe only takes 5 minutes to make.
