Frankincense and Lavender Natural Body Wash

I got this recipe and idea from Mommypotomus blog.  Every time I saw the picture I couldn't help but want to try it.  My belly is getting really big now from two babies stretching it out and I wanted a soap with a LOT of moisture.  Frankincense and Lavender have always been known for their awesome ability to support skin health, so those are the oils I chose for this recipe.  And forget the skin wellness properties, they smell AMAZING together.









Here's the recipe:


  • 1/2 cup of Castile Soap (I use dr bronners)
  • 1/2 cup of honey
  • 1/2 cup of Olive Oil
  • 20-30 or more of Essential oils.  I used 30 and I think it could have used more.


I thought it was weird at first to use honey for body wash, like it would be sticky or something but it's not at all!  It actually makes it a little thicker and more luxurious.

I absolutely love this body wash.  I don't love making products all the time, I'm more inclined to buy something.  But this is something I will keep making.  I already ran out of my first batch so that is on my to-do list for today!

Enjoy!!

Spot-B-Gone!



I have three boys. And a dog. And dirt in my backyard. And paint in my art arsenal. I also feed my kids things like berries, juice, chocolate, and occasionally brightly colored popsicles. Then, there is me. I spill *everything* on myself. I constantly battle grease stains on my shirts and, unfortunately, have thrown away some beloved items of clothing because I could never get them out! BUT! No more! I have discovered an alternative to tossing my treasures. Thieves Cleaner! Yup, it strikes again! I am pretty sure I will never let myself be out of this stuff for the rest of my life!




Spot-B-Gone w/ Thieves Cleaner

1 Tbsp Concentrated Thieves Cleaner
1 Tbsp Warm Water
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
2 Tbsp hydrogen peroxide

Mix ingredients in a 4 oz spray bottle and shake gently until combined. Spray on spots until saturated, then wash normally.


Mud? Chocolate? Wine? Grease? Berries? Paint? Nope. Not a problem anymore!

What spots challenge you?

Happy oiling, Mandy
