December Make & Take
Last month I had the privilege of hosting some ladies for a make-and-take event and it was glorious! A beautiful opportunity to spoil my friends with oily goodies and yummy food, nothing makes me happier! Over the course of the evening we discussed everything from essential oils and nontoxic living to sustainability and how to be good stewards of the earth and our bodies. This particular group of girls continually inspire me on my own journey of wellness and conscious living, so getting to spend the evening with them at Christmas time brought me so much joy.
Below are the recipes of what we made that evening so that you can create your own oily goodies or even host your own make-and-take with your friends! Tip: we used recycled 5 and 15ml essential oil bottles with roller tops from Young Living and spray tops from Amazon to make these! No need to buy all new bottles when we have so many on hand already!
