This is a fun gift idea that doesn’t take much time to make and is incredible beneficial to your health to use! Even safe for mamas to be as a belly rub:) It will not only give you soft, balmy skin, but it acts as a stress and anxiety reliever as well! I use essential oils in numerous ways for my family and I.

This filled three small glass jars! I use it on my face, legs, and arms at night for ultra moisture and calming scents. This is a perfect Mother’s Day, bridal, or birthday gift. Show if you give it a try, we would love to see the results!
If you are new to using essential oils, you can find these oils in a premium starter kit.
