Need a Natural Substitute for Toothpaste?

Looking for an easy DIY recipe for toothpaste? Look no further! This one is super easy, and you most likely have everything you need at home already...
well most of it I'm sure! :)

What you will need:
*Glass or stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk, and small spatula.
*Glass jar to store toothpaste in. {small 40z, preferably a darker glass}
* 1/4 cup Organic cold pressed unrefined coconut oil
*1/4 cup baking soda
*2 tbls bentonite clay {or organic charcoal, if you are looking for extra whitening}
* 10 drops of Essential Oil {pure therapeutic EO's, such as Amrita} You can blend 2 or 3 together, that are cleansing for the mouth, or just stick with you favorite! Some EO's that are good to consider would be, peppermint, cinnamon, orange, tea tree, frankincense, clove.

Place the baking soda, and clay in mixing bowl, whisk to incorporate. Add your essential oils to the mixture, and whisk together, until the oils have completely blended. Then you will add your coconut oil. {Since this will be more of a solid, you can do half the amount, mix, then add the remaining} Be sure to blend well with the spatula, and get all the baking soda/clay mixture into the coconut oil. If you wish, you can use a small hand mixer to do this process as well.
Once blended, you can store in the small dark coated glass jar. Just scoop some out on your toothbrush when you are ready to clean your teeth! :)

Calendula and You... is it a good Fit?

What is calendula? Well, have you heard of Pot Marigolds... Beautiful bright shades of red and yellow petals! That my friends is what is most commonly cultivated and used to source calendula flowers, to make calendula oil.
So what can we use calendula oil for? Just to name a few different things with skin care...

Skin issues such as dermatitis, eczema, and psoriasis along with other skin issues can be nourished and soothed by using calendula oil, when applied topically in the form of a lotion, oil or salve.
Antifungal properties that are naturally present in calendula oil are wonderful for helping to treat ringworm, athlete's foot, and jock itch.
Antimicrobial and antiseptic action of the calendula oil helps heal wounds and minor cuts/scrapes. With that being said, those healing properties also help relieve acne, insect bites and bed sores.
Dry chapped skin will soak up the nourishing moisturizing properties of calendula oil. It will reduce the pain and soothe severely chapped or even split/cracked skin.
Anti-Inflammatory properties of calendula aids in the treatment for spider veins, varicose veins, and leg ulcers. Also works wonders on sprained muscles, bruises and reducing swelling from injury.

Those are all great ways to use calendula, and generally it is safe to use, however as with anything there are some precautions to be aware of. If you are pregnant and/or breastfeeding you should avoid calendula. If you have a sensitivity to ragweed related plants (example: daisies, chrysanthemums, marigolds) before using calendula, you should consult your health care provider. Also certain medications will interact with calendula, such as CNS depressants and sedative medications. Calendula plant may cause sleepiness, and taking a sedative along with the use of calendula could result in excess sleepiness.

I have some more calendula oil infusing... and will soon have some ready to make some salves and lotions!(Feb. 1st it will be ready!)
Its a great addition to have around this time of year, with all this cold weather!
Stay tuned for some different beauty products to try!
