Peppermint Whipped Body Butter with Coconut Oil Recipe 

Ingredients:
  • ½ cup Shea Butter
  • ½ cup Cocoa Butter or Mango Butter
  • ½ cup Coconut Oil
  • ½ cup light oil like almond, olive or jajoba
  • 10-30 drops of Peppermint (or other) essential oil for scent
What to do:
  1. In a double boiler or glass bowl, combine all ingredients except essential oils.
  2. Bring to medium heat and stir constantly until all ingredients are melted.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Move to fridge and let cool another 1 hour or until starting to harden but still somewhat soft. (this may take more or less time depending on the container it is in)
  5. Add the essential oil(s) of your choice and use a hand mixer to whip for 10 minutes until fluffy.
  6. Add the essential oil(s) of your choice.
  7. Return to fridge for 10-15 minutes to set.
  8. Store in a glass jar with a lid and use as you would regular lotion or body butter. If your home stays above 75 degrees, it may soften and need to be kept at the fridge, but it will stay whipped at a temperature lower than that.
  9. Enjoy!

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution.

Betty Rocker 30 Day Challenge: Day 11 - Yoga with Kate

http://www.katemarolt.com/yoga/ Yoga Flow   I want you to enjoy today's practice and look for more yoga opportunities - preferably with a group or with an instructor.   What I want to invite you to take away after today's practice and print out to use again and again is not the specific flow - it's actually the philosophy of the flow itself.   Here are some words about it from Kate herself - who I encourage you to  connect with online !   "My philosophy is that Yoga is a practice of moving meditation- both on your mat and in your life.   Whether you are holding a pose and focusing on your breath, flowing through a series of movements, or simply observing your thoughts and taking action throughout your day, the intention behind each moment is key.   I believe that we can be 100% sincere and committed to our paths without having to be serious and struggling.   Approaching...
