    DIY AROMATHERAPY CANDLE

    Ingredients:

    • 6 oz Glass Jar
    • 7.5 oz. Beeswax
    • 40-50 Drops of Essential Oils
    • 1 Wick

    Instructions:

    1. Stick the wick to the bottom of jar using a little melted wax.
    2. Hold wick up using two sticks tied together at each end, with your wick in the middle
    3. Place beeswax in a double broiler on stovetop
    4. Melt beeswax until completely dissolved
    5. Remove from stove
    6. Let cool slightly
    7. Stir in essential oils
    8. Pour into jar
    9. Let cool

    *If layering the two waxes, follow the steps above but use half the amount of wax for each color. Pour the first color and let sit until set and then follow with the next color.


    One thing to keep in mind when making candles with essential oils is that the fragrance is subtle. If you are looking for a stronger scent, you may want to diffuse your oils. Or better yet, a combination of the two. Who doesn’t love the beautiful scent of diffused oils while enjoying the flicker of a candle? A powerful relaxing combo indeed!

    Feel free to make it your own combinations and make sure to have some fun!


    DIY Honey Bath

    Ingredients:

    • 1 Tablespoon Honey
    • 3 Drops of Pranarom Essential Oil
    • ¼-1 Cup of Pranarom Hydrosol

    Instructions:

    1. Add honey to a jar, add the essential oil and mix well. Then add hydrosol and mix until the honey has dissolved. Pour directly into your bath water.

    Honey is a humectant, giving this combination a moisturizing effect. It also works as a dispersant for the essential oils (which is furthered by mixing with the hydrosol) so that it seamlessly integrates with the bath water.

    This will make your skin feel SO soft and luxurious!


    DIY Essential Oil Clay Diffuser

    Ingredients:

    • Airdry clay (they used Terracotta for an organic feel)
    • Hemp Cording
    • Wooden Beads (wide hole)
    • Essential Oil (like Pranarom Zen diffusion blend)
    • Rubber Stamp (or household items to make patterns)
    • Circle Cutter
    • Drinking Straw or Large Skewer (to make hole)
    • Rolling Pin

    Instructions:

    1. Roll out clay into a slab about ¼” thick. Stamp design into clay.
    2. Cut out clay into circles and make hole at the top using a straw or skewer.
    3. Set aside to dry for 24-48 hours, until fully hardened. Flip pieces occasionally to dry both sides.
    4. Once dry, cut a piece of hemp cord approximately 18 inches and thread through hole.
    5. Add beads and tie a knot at the top of your last bead.
    6. Add an additional knot at the end of the two pieces of cord.
    7. Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil and enjoy the beautiful aroma.

    You can make these as elaborate as you want. Add some metal embellishments, join a couple shapes together, etc. This diffuser can be hung in a car, closet, or anywhere you want to aromatize your space.


    DIY Valencia Bath Salts

    Ingredients:

    • 1 Cup Epsom Salts
    • ¼ Cup Coarse Sea Salt
    • 7 Drops of Valencia Diffusion Blend
    • Zest of 1 Orange

    Instructions:

    1. In a medium-sized glass mixing bowl, add sea salt and Epsom salt. Do not use plastic (the essential oils will absorb into the bowl).
    2. Mix the salts until well combined.
    3. Add essential oils and mix again.
    4. Store in an airtight glass container until ready to use.
    5. When ready, add to bath and enjoy!

  • “Spring” into a Better Skincare Routine with evanhealy

    “Spring” into a Better Skincare Routine with evanhealy

    Meet evanhealy

    evanhealy is a holistic skin care line created and formulated to work with the rhythms and physiology of the body, and to support long-term skin health and radiance.

    Holistic skin + body + cosmetics that go beyond organic

    Whole plant oils, waters and butters, as well as earthen clays, are our tools and allies. They source them directly from small family farms, women’s co-operatives and co-operative villages around the world.

    Inspired by ancient beauty practices, nature and its cycles, ayurveda, homeopathy and traditional western herbalism, their approach is a fusion of modalities centered around the goal of realigning skin with its highest potential and awakening its innate resilient, adaptable nature.

    The act of engaging in truly holistic beauty is an intimate one and through it we are working to transform, evolve, and reshape the modern perception of beauty, as well as our individual relationships with our skin and ourselves.

    Daily Spring Skin Ritual

    Cleanse

    • Begin by moistening your skin with three to four splashes of warm water.
    • Mix one pump of cleanser with a couple dribbles of warm water to dilute. Blend in your palms and then massage all over the skin, working in upward circular motions. 
    • Rinse with cool water and pat dry.

    Hydrate & Nourish

    • After cleansing, saturate your face with Rose Geranium HydroSoul.
    • In the palm of your hand, combine one to three pumps of Neem Immortelle Purifying Infusion with a couple of sprays of the HydroSoul. Blend the two together, then gently and slowly press the warmed emulsion into your skin.
    • Mist face with HydroSol and press in again

  • Plant Beautiful Skincare Thanks To Pranarom

    Plant Beautiful Skincare Thanks To Pranarom

    Plant Beautiful Skincare – A Holistic Experience for Mind & Body

    Essential oils and beauty go together like peanut butter and jelly, grilled cheese and tomato soup, April showers and May flowers… well you get the point. According to Pranarom’s National Educator, Amy Galper, B.A. MA. Certified Aromatherapist, “a great clean beauty facial care product needs to nourish us in 3 ways: physically, emotionally and psycho-spiritually. Applying product to our faces is a deeply personal experience, and can help us be more present, foster self-reflection and confidence, and just make us feel really good.” And we all could use more of that!

    Simple. Effective. 100% Organic.

    Your skincare routine just got easier! Here are a few tips and suggestions for using Pranarom’s Plant Beautiful skincare and creating your own beauty ritual to nourish your skin and soul:

    1. Try cleansing your face with oil, rather than soap, and take note of how gently this lifts away dirt and grime without stripping your skin. The Pure Facial Cleansing Oil is perfect for this, as it’s easy to use and leaves a non-greasy feeling after rinsing.
    2. Use floral waters to tone and soothe sensitivity. After cleansing and patting your face dry, try misting with one of Pranarom’s Facial Mists – beautiful blends of a few different hydrosols and soothing aloe vera. They feel light and clean while imparting nuanced aromas that immediately calm both mind and skin. 
    3. After cleansing and toning, feed the skin with one of the deeply nutritive Treatment Moisture Oils, massaging gently for best results.
    4. Pay attention to the scent of the essential oils and how well they partner and align with the plant oils, and how the scent makes you feel.
