Homemade Coffee Creamer

Homemade Coffee Creamer – Over 2 Dozen Flavor Varieties! Ok, so for whatever flavor of creamer you want, you start off with the same basic ‘base’ recipe. 14oz sweetened condensed milk 1 3/4 cup milk or cream (whole, lowfat, skim, almond, soy, heavy cream, half & half etc – whatever your preference, however the more fat, the more creaminess) Mix the ingredients together well. I like to add them to a mason jar and shake it like crazy. You could also opt to use an old (washed) creamer container. French Vanilla Creamer 2 teaspoons vanilla extract OR vanilla coffee syrup Vanilla Bean Coffee Creamer 2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste Chocolate 2-3 tablespoons chocolate syrup (1 tsp vanilla extract, optional) Chocolate Almond 1 tablespoon cocoa powder 1 teaspoon almond extract Strudel 1 tablespoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon almond extract Vanilla Caramel 2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Choco...

Homemade Coconut Shampoo

HOME MADE COCONUT SHAMPOO INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup coconut milk 2/3 cup castile soap 2 teaspoons oil (I use coconut) Mix all of the ingredients in an empty shampoo bottle or jar and shake.  You can keep it in the shower for one to two months, but seriously? It will be gone before then! I love this recipe because I know what I am putting in my hair!  I have naturally curly hair, and it is a nightmare! The more I can do to keep it hydrated, the better. This is a GREAT shampoo, and leaves your hair smelling amazing! If you want to add some essential oils feel free! Let us know What you used and how good the smell turned out!

Body/ Face Scrubs

I will be the first to say WOW! These scrubs I swear by. I have been asked on multiple occasions if I will make them for people, and in all honesty...they are SO EASY TO MAKE! If you have read any of my other posts you will be able to tell I am a big fan of coconut oil. When I was introduced to this product I didn't know I would turn out obsessed!  OK. I have 2 Recipes for ya'll  =) Keep in mind, you can fiddle with the recipe if you feel as if something will work better for ya! Vanilla-Honey Scrub- Well, the title pretty much says it. You will need Vanilla extract, Honey, brown or white sugar, and yes, coconut oil.  (I have two of these sitting in my bathroom. The brown sugar is not quite as rough as the white sugar, so depending on how badly I need to exfoliate i know which to grab.) 2 Parts of Sugar 1-1.5 Parts oil (I did mine with conola oil) Big Ol' Squeeze of Honey After mixing this up you can decide whether or...

Coconut Oil... Yup, That's it! Get a bowl, a mixer, and a big clump of coconut oil. Whip it, and you're done!

Homemade Concealer/ Primer

I like my concealer to be lighter than my foundation, also with any sort of green tint helps tremendously to cover those red spots (I use Spirulina) Make a loose powder  Foundation , and add my  Body Lotion  to make a creamy consistency.  (Personally, I like my concealer to be more creamy and my foundation I prefer to be loose powder).  Once thick enough to cover those imperfect spots put in container with lid.  You may want to make it a bit thicker to use as a primer. I just use Spirulina,cornstarch, a pinch of cocoa powder, and some of my homemade lotion.
