Homemade Wrinkle Cream

Pin to Pinterest

Fight the effects of aging naturally (and without investing a fortune in a small pot of cream) by making your own at home. Essential Oils are perfect for everything from DIY household cleaners to beauty products because they are safe and effective. Frankincense and Myrrh have long been used in beauty care regimens, as far back as ancient Egyptian times due to their many benefits for skin and body.

Ingredients:

½ cup Shea butter
2 Tbsp. Coconut oil
20 drops Frankincense essential oil
5 drops Myrrh essential oil
5 drops Lemon essential oil

Directions:

Combine shea butter and coconut oil in bowl of stand mixer and whip until smooth and fluffy. Add essential oils, mix to combine. Store in an airtight container, a small mason jar makes the perfect thing! To use, dip fingers on the top of cream, rub your hands together to “melt” and spread the cream, gently apply to face in an upward motion applying a thin layer to your skin. Do this immediately after washing your face.

This is a thick cream and you really do only want a very thin layer otherwise it will clog your pores and make your skin appear greasy.

DIY Valentine Series – Paint Strip Valentine Bookmarks
Pin to Pinterest

This is a fantastically simple craft that the kids will love to get their hands on. Besides the fact that hole punches are just a fun thing to play with, this is a great fine motor activity for children. Pick up some free paint sample strips at Wal-Mart, or Home Depot – make sure to grab some traditional girl colors like pink and purple and some great yellows, greens, and blues for boys. If you already have ribbons and hole punches on hand this is a totally free craft! You can use a hole punch or small hand punch to cut out shapes, then just add stickers, glitter, and markers or crayons, or stamps if you really want to step it up. Make up a bunch for classmates, teachers, grandparents. I had the kids even make one for me instead of dog-earring the pages of all my books. Creating their own bookmark may just encourage a love of reading, so this craft really is a win-win all the way around- simple, frugal, promotes literacy and fun!

Check out my How To Video on these Paint Sample Bookmarks!

Supplies:

Paint sample strips
hole punch
ribbon
optional- glitter, glue, stickers, stamps, stamp pad,
markers. Crayons

Directions:

Use hole punch to create a pattern up and down the sides and across the bottom of paint sample.
If desired color with markers, draw designs in glue and sprinkle with glitter, add stickers, or stamp names on them to personalize for each recipient.
To place a ribbon through the top- Punch hole at least ¼ “ down, push both ends of ribbon through hole, pull them through the loop the ribbon makes at the top, draw tight.
