Miracle Body Butter ingredient spotlight: Cocoa Butter!

Cocoa butter is a natural fat extracted from cocoa beans, and it's one of the most popular ingredients in skincare for good reason. Rich in fatty acids, this plant-based butter creates a protective barrier on the skin, helping to lock in moisture. This makes it a powerful remedy for dry or dehydrated skin, keeping it soft and supple.

Cocoa butter is also loaded with antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which can help combat free radicals and reduce signs of aging. Regular use can improve skin elasticity, making it ideal for addressing stretch marks and fine lines. Many expectant mothers use cocoa butter during pregnancy to prevent stretch marks, and it’s also beneficial for soothing skin irritations like eczema or dermatitis. (Not to mention the magic it can do to ready the ni***es for breastfeeding!!)

One of cocoa butter’s most appealing qualities is its ability to deeply nourish the skin without clogging pores, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. It melts at body temperature, allowing for smooth application, and its subtle, chocolatey scent makes it a favorite in natural skincare routines.

Overall, incorporating cocoa butter into your skincare regimen can lead to softer, smoother, and more resilient skin. Whether used alone or as part of a formulation, its healing, moisturizing, and anti-aging properties make it a versatile and valuable skincare staple.

And that's why it's a main ingredient in my Body Butter!

Our 4 generations ❤️

Ironically, on today's drive home from bloodworm, I heard a former DR talking about the-vid (you know the thing that shut down the world in 2020) as an autoimmune disease. The industry is pretending to be blind to the evidence.

Although, those of us diagnosed with lupus in particular will be told it's a lifetime illness that has to be treated with all kinds of pharmaceutical garbage, you can overcome it!

Autoimmune diseases and issues are caused by toxic overload and the inflammatory response. Eliminate the toxins and your body will start to heal. Inflammatory damage takes years to develop and takes what feels like forever to reverse, but given the right building blocks and taking out harmful substances will allow the body to correct its internal status.

So how??

First, whole foods diet. Ditch processed foods, this includes fortified and enriched grains, and dairy, and the seed oils! Focus on fruits and vegetables and have quality protein options.

Second, move your body to aid in the metabolic processes and to move toxins out! Choose an activity level that is suitable for you, no need to be a gym rat but you can be if ya wanna!

Also, eliminate environmental toxins to the best of your current ability. Filter your water, don't just by the "spring water" in plastic bottles, get a water filter. Take a deep dive into what you're putting on your skin, you're largest organ and your bodies barrier from its external environment.

By taking a few simple and effective measures, we can overcome the onset of these "mysterious" illnesses that are really just residual side-effects of the big C...

I mean, I did. And that tells me others can as well!

While I await the results of my blood work, (I've been cleared of the lupus and fibromyalgia diagnoses already, but we're taking a deeper look at and for any current imbalances.) I find peace knowing that I have done so much work to give my body what it needs and to take away what it doesn't.

(I'm not saying autoimmune isn't a real thing for some, just not every case!)

Ingredient Spotlight! Shea Butter!

Shea butter is a natural fat extracted from the nuts of the African shea tree. Rich in vitamins A, E, and F, it offers numerous benefits for skin health!

One of the key benefits of shea butter is its deep moisturizing properties. It penetrates the skin to hydrate and nourish, helping to lock in moisture for a soft, smooth complexion. This makes it especially beneficial for dry and flaky skin, providing relief from conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

Shea butter is also known for its anti-inflammatory qualities. It soothes irritation, reduces redness, and promotes healing for sensitive or damaged skin. This makes it useful for calming sunburns, minor cuts, and insect bites.

Additionally, its high concentration of fatty acids and antioxidants supports skin regeneration, promoting elasticity and reducing the appearance of stretch marks and scars.

The butter's antioxidant properties also help protect the skin from environmental stressors, such as pollution and UV damage. It creates a protective barrier that shields the skin from harmful free radicals, delaying the signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines.

Shea butter is safe for all skin types and can be used daily without clogging pores. Shea butter is a versatile, natural solution for achieving healthy, radiant skin!

And that's why it is a main ingredient in Your Favorite Body Butter!!

To our health :D

Yay!! We're having pasta 🤩🥳

One ingredient... sign me and my family up!

Most store bought pasta is made with enriched wheat flour.

Long story short - that's NOT what you want.

This is an Aldi find that we love!

As with anything, check your ingredients when making HEALTHY food choices.

Of course, we could go down the rabbit hole of the quality of this one ingredient and gluten isn't suitable for some people...

But let's keep it simple and say,

One ingredient! Sign me up!!

To you health ❤️

Spotlight post on the amazing body butter I've been making! 🤩

Ingredients: Coconut oil, Shea and Cocoa butters, Almond oil, Vitamin E oil, Distilled water, Lavender and Grapefruit Essential oils. Made in small batches when I get the orders.

Store in a dark place or keep it in the fridge for a firmer texture.
Being an oil, the product may melt if not kept at 76 degrees or below. If melting does occur, stick it in the fridge and shake it every few minutes as it cools to make sure the oils all mix back together.

I use a cute metal spoon to scoop it out into my hand for application when I get out of the shower. When I first started using it, I would just dip my finger into the jar.

You can use this conservatively or generously! It won't hurt ya! And I haven't noticed any stains on my clothes or furniture when I've used a bit much.

Simply apply to your clean skin! It goes on oily but absorbs within minutes, locking in moisture and giving your skin the healthy glow you are looking for!!

Here's what one of buyer has to say about it! 👇

I'm ready to make a fresh batch so get with me if you're looking for a new moisturizing body lotion that makes dry skin glow!
8oz jar for $15, local delivery (when schedule permits) or pickup in Lake Alfred :)

Give yourself an appreciative pat on the back for all the things you are doing!

I have to remind myself it's okay to let things go. Sometimes I look at my todo list and start to feel defeated from all the things that need to get done, or seem like they need to be done.

Then a deep breath and the reminder that the world won't fall while I take care of the things that are truly the most important.

I think the saying is don't sweat the small stuff...

Plus, allowing others to help is such a gift to myself and them ❤️ thank you to my mama Lucia Needham for watching my baby so I could get a few errands ran baby free this morning!!

Out here killin it and I can't wait to get home!

Friendly reminder: you're doing great!

Ingredients are ordered for batch 2 of the body butter that will have you loving your skin! I'd like to say I will have it done this weekend, but with a sweet baby who comes first over everything, I will leave it with grace at, it's on my to do list as soon as the ingredients come in tomorrow.

I have reached out to those who said they would like some. If I missed you, please shoot me a message or raise your hand here :) 🤚✋🙋‍♀️🙋👋🤩

A few people have been asking about a face cream or moisturizer.

1. This body butter is sort of heavier than what I would recommend for a face cream as it includes shea and cocoa butters. I use this on my entire body minus my face but you of course can do what you want. This oil can be used sparingly or generously.

2. I have an oil blend I make for nighttime use I have been contemplating sharing along side the body butter to fulfill this need. It is also made with non-toxic, high quality ingredients and keeps my face moisturized and clear. If enough interest, I will look into what pricing would look like for that.

Thanks for helping me sell out round 1 super quick of my body butter and for making round 2 a thing at all. I hope you all love it as much as I do

The body butter turned out so cute for my first for-others run!

Mine just sits in a mason jar on my counter but I like the new and improved look 🫙 😍

This was fun.

Still have a couple of jars unclaimed!

Message me to schedule local drop off or meet up, or pick up from me in Lake Alfred.
