Self-Care Sundays! Body Butter DIY

We’re making Body Butter!! This whole week as I kept eyeballing the ingredients to this DIY, I couldn’t get Ari Lennox’s song Shea Butter Bayyybbbbee…. out of my head. Tis the season for cuddling and ashy elbows! I think you’ll enjoy this quick project and I’m sure the benefits will be limitless.


Let’s get started!

Step 1. Grab a 1/2 cup of each of the ingredients below.

Step 2. Melt all the ingredients together in a double boiler. I am cheating here by using a big pot and my extra large pyrex measuring cup.

Step 3. After all the ingredients are melted together, chill the concoction until cool.

Step 4. Add 1 tbsp of your favorite essential oil and use your hand mixer to whip the mixture into butter.

That’s it! I then put my body butter into a cute container and I’m on my way to a winter without ashy skin. This mixture makes about 3 - 8 oz. containers. I hope you enjoyed this and will feel inspired to make your own.

Until next time,
