I have tried every make-up remover you can think of from the fancy ones at Sephora to the cheap ones at Target and they either make my face break out OR make my face feel super oily and greasy. So I did decided to make my own! It took me about 15min that included getting the materials ready!
Ingredients
-2tbs of carrier oil (I used fractionated coconut oil)
-2tbs of Witch Hazel (alcohol free if you can)
-2tbs of water (distilled if possible but not necessary)
-10 drops of oil (I used lavender and frankincense)
– Air tight container (Similar to this one from IKEA)
– Cotton pads

Step 1 – Combine water, carrier oil, witch hazel and oils in glass jar and mix up
Step 2 – Add cotton pads and rotate until all the liquid is soaked up
Step 3 – Use! Squeeze out the excess liquid in jar when you remove!

As for my choice in oils – I decided to use Lavender because of its cleansing and calming properties. I chose Frankincense because it helps reduce fine lines and promote healthy aging of the skin!

With 3 kids and a dog our carpets are put through the ringer between shoes, muddy paws and baby spit up its tough to keep our rugs looking and smelling clean! It’s because of the 3 kids and dog that I am super conscious of the products I use. Since one of the littles is going to be starting to crawl soon I started looking at the carpet refresher I was using – chemical filled! I tossed that bottle right in the garbage and whipped up my own using some essential oils!

: DIY Carpet Refresher :

1c Baking Soda
15 Drops of Thieves Oil
15 Drops of Purification
– store in glass container and sprinkle on carpet as needed-

The reasons I chose to use Thieves and Purification is because of the many benefits these 2 oils have, here are just a few.
Thieves – helps support a healthy immune system and helps purify air
Purification – purifies air & deodorizes

I use this recipe for the rugs in the playroom, living room and hallway, for the bedrooms I use a mix of calming oils that promote a restful sleep.

So many great oils come in the Starter Kit including Thieves and Purification, the possibilities are endless!
