Recipe to try this month
I want to start making my own body creams so i have been scouring pinterest for Cocoa butter recipes to try. I chose cocoa butter because i want to smell like chocolate 24/7 and also because of the benefits it has on the skin. I found this recipe on Little green dot and that’s what i’ll be going with, it should be easy to do.
3/4 cocoa butter + 1/4 coconut oil
- Melt them together in a bain marie
- freeze the mixture for 20 minutes
- whip it with a handheld mixer
Learning
I am currently reading up on adaptogens and how they help the body, from regulation of hormones to boosting of moods. I’ll link them at the bottom if you are interested take a peek.
I am also planning on reading Storm in a teacup : the physics of everyday life by Helen Czerski and the lean Startup by Eric Ries.
Life In General
I am hoping for a mental transformation this month. I started a bullet journal and also the Chloe Ting Challenge i am on day two and i want to die already. I have plans which i can’t talk about yet but i am working towards them. I am committed to enjoying the process and learning how to be patient with myself.
And that’s all. I pray September treats everyone well. I pray for transformations where you need them.
