    Did you know that most skin creams contain Phthalates. In addition to potentially causing cancer, phthalates fall into the category of obesogens. Obesogens are believed to work in the body in three different ways…to make you FAT!!!
    How? They increase the starchy capacity and number of fat cells, change the metabolism and change the way the body regulates hunger and fullness.

    Scary to think that your body lotion can be making you fat, isn’t it?

    Don’t worry - I’ve got you covered. This is my go-to lotion - and one that everyone is always asking me to make for them.

    The Quality of The Essential Oils You Use Matters!

    After looking closely at the quality, purity, and ethics of so many companies, I've fallen in love with both the company and their oils. They have a large line of organic oils and are serious about safety. Every single batch is tested to ensure purity!

    Read my full Plant Therapy Review for why they are my go-to company.

    DIY Body Lotion

    Adapted from Weekend Wonder Detox

    ¾ cup sweet almond oil
    2 tablespoons beeswax, shaved
    30 drops lavender essential oil
    1 cup water
    16 ounce glass jar

    Add oil and beeswax to a small saucepan and heat over low heat until
    the wax dissolved. Remove from heat. Allow to cool for 2 minutes
    and then add essential oil.

    Place the water in a blender with the lid on but the hole in it left
    open. With blender running, add the oil-wax mixture slowly allowing
    it to emulsify.

    Pour into glass jar and store in a cool place.
