We were raised in a home with a more homeopathic approach to healing when we were sick, and it’s something that we (especially since becoming moms) have become increasingly grateful for. We have some knowledge (there’s still so much more to learn) about natural ways of healing the body. A recent switch has been swapping out cleaners with harsh ingredients and toxic chemicals for healthier, natural ones that clean just as good, and are much healthier for our bodies. We love Norwex (thanks to Jodi), and homemade products with doTERRA essential oils.
First, Jessica tackled homemade lip balm (omg, it’s a favorite around here). Second, she made a multi-purpose cleaner. Third we were gifted a homemade facial toner. We can’t take credit for the amazing recipe for the toner, but Cara shared it. Yay…and it’s all perfect timing for spring cleaning!
Facial Toner
recipe from Jessica’s awesome neighbor Cara
Materials:
- Thayer’s Alchol-Free Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera, 4 tablespoons
- Lavender essential oil, 12 drops (frequently used to reduce the appearance of skin imperfections)
- Melaleuca essential oil, 12 drops (cleanses and purifies skin)
- 4 oz Amber Glass Bottle
- Stainless Steel Funnel
Directions:
Pour the ingredients into the amber glass jar (this is important – do not use plastic, and make sure the glass is tinted). Use a funnel for a spill-free experience. Store in a shaded spot.
Now onto an amazing homemade multi-purpose cleaner…
Multi-Purpose Cleaner
adapted from doTERRA
Materials:
- Amber spray bottle, 16 oz
- 1/4 cup vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 30 drops essential oils. We made 2 different types. The first was made with 30 drops of OnGuard. The second was made with a combination of Eucalyptus, Wild Orange and Peppermint, 10 drops each.
- Stainless Steel Funnel
Directions:
Pour the ingredients into the amber glass jar (this is important – do not use plastic, and make sure the glass is tinted). Use a funnel for a spill-free experience. Store in a shaded spot, and shake before using.
If you’re interested in buying or selling doTERRA essential oils or Norwex, email Jessica and Jodi at hello@jsorelle.com with questions on how to order or how to sell them.
Labels were made with Avery.
Note: Skin irritations can occur with essential oils. Avoid contact with eyes. Ask a doctor about the ingredients in the toner, especially if you have sensitive skin. We love these products, but we are by no means a professional, and these were not endorsed by the FDA. We are simply bloggers who share products we love, and things we love to make.
