WINTER WELLNESS + SELFCARE DIYS

Take care of your winter skin with this simple, customizable DIY Body Butter. We love mixing floral oils like Neroli, Jasmine or Geranium with spruce and tangerine!
* 8-12 ounce glass container glass container https://amzn.to/3D3nIok

BEATING THE WINTER BLUES
According to Ayurveda, the ancient Indian medical tradition, our health is a holistic balance of mind, body, and spirit, with each person having a dominant energy type, or dosha. During the winter months we are more inclined to rest and hibernate, which can often lead to the winter blues. Winter is the season of kapha, the dosha marked by a certain heaviness, a tendency toward mental fog, and sometimes weight gain. However, we can work with the body and energy type can help lift the lethargy of winter. Oils can help us sit in this seasonal shift without lowering our emotional energy! Some great options for winter emotional support include:
* Jasmine, Neroli, Ylang ylang or Joy
* Winter Nights
* Rosemary, Basil or Eucalyptus
* Palo Santo, Frankincense, or Sacred Mountain
Create an application ritual with some of the oils above and any other oils you choose to add. This ritual is a reminder to not hold on to destructive feelings, which can happen when there's too much kapha.
* Gently rub the skin between your toes to create warmth in the area. Massage in four to five drops of your chosen oil, spending about three to five seconds between each toe.
* With the oil still on your fingers and palms, massage the bottoms of your feet, spending thirty seconds on each one.
* Move up to your wrists and gently massage the area with your thumb; spend ten to fifteen seconds on each wrist.
* Next, move to the ears; use your fingers to massage the area behind your ears in circles for fifteen seconds.
* Floating up to the forehead, massage your temples with your forefingers in circles for ten seconds.
* Finally, cup your palms over your nose and mouth and take five deep inhales.
And don't get freaked out by Ayurveda - it's not a spiritual practice, it's a medical one.
WINTER EMOTIONS + YOGA
Yoga can have a profound impact on improving energy levels, especially during the winter months. Begin your day with a sun salutation to capitalize on the energy of the sun. Focus on asanas to invigorate a healthy kapha.
* Choose a diffuser blend below, and set it near your mat.
* Apply oils to the crown of the head (it won't make your hair greasy if you don't rub it in, just drop it!), wrists and heart.
* Breathe deeply, repeat a positive mantra or focus on a word or intention you want to bring into your life.
COZY WINTER HOME
DIY Evergreen Essence Room Spray
* 15 drops Evergreen Essence Essential Oil Blend
* 10 drops Vanilla Oleoresin
* 10 drops Tangerine Essential Oil
* Add essential oils to a 2oz glass spray bottle, add a splash of witch hazel & top with water! Spritz on all the things!
DIY Frosted Forest Hand Soap
* Foaming hand soap bottle https://amzn.to/3ZJiibQor recycle a YL one!
* 2 Tbsp Liquid Castile Soap https://amzn.to/3ZU30kA
* 10 drops each Peppermint, Idaho Blue Spruce essential oil
* 5 drops Vetiver essential oil
* 1 tsp Vitamin E oil https://amzn.to/3D1Ia92
* Add essential oils, Vitamin E oil and Castile Soap to the bottle, then top with water leaving 1" at the top
Sugar & Spice Wool Dryer Balls
There's something about the smell of warm fresh laundry fresh from the dryer - especially when combining Thieves Laundry Soap and essential oil infused wool dryer balls!
* Organic wool dryer balls (in the YL Clearance Section!) YL Dryer balls
* Ylang ylang, Vanilla & Cinnamon Bark pre-mixed in a dropper bottle, about 10-15 drops of each
* Add 4-5 drops of essential oils to each dryer ball.
* Let the dryer balls air dry for about an hour or to speed up the process you can dry them alone. This will allow the oil to absorb into the wool and not transfer to your clothes.
* When it's time to dry your clothes - toss the dryer balls into the dryer with your clothing. Refresh the oils every 4-5 loads or more often if you prefer a stronger scent.
Winter Spice Orange Garland
* About 5 oranges or a mix of oranges, clementines and grapefruit for varied sizes and colors
* Essential oils: Cinnamon Bark, Vanilla, Clove, Believe, Thieves
* Fresh cranberries and cinnamon sticks (optional)
* Slice your oranges in circles to ¼ to ½ inch in thickness and arrange them on a non-stick surface or parchment paper. Pour 2-3 drops of essential oils on each slice, then set them in a cool oven and turn the temperature onto the lowest setting your oven will allow. (If your oven does not go below 300, set it there and use a wooden spoon to prop the oven open slightly and allow some heat to dissipate.)
* Leave the slices in the oven for about 5 hours, then shut the oven off and leave the oranges in there overnight or until completely cool. They will be fairly dry, but will continue to dry out over time. You don't want to over dry them in the oven because they can start to burn!
* Once they are dry, string them with some twine, alternating with a few varying sized slices and a cranberry or two, a tied cinnamon stick, whatever you like!
WINTER DIFFUSER BLENDS

Remove the leaf from the clay, and cut around the outline with a knife, then remove the excess clay from around your imprint.
* Go around the perimeter of the leaf and gently press the sides up and in to create a small edge. Allow the clay to air dry and harden on a baking rack for 24 hours.
