Raw Body Butter

I love body butter... it's just so creamy and luxurious...
And sadly expensive...
And loaded with chemicals...

So when RAWMAZING posted a raw body butter recipe, imagine my excitement!!
I am going to try it this weekend;)

For now, go there and see all the beautiful pictures...
and here's the recipe:

Body Butter

• 1 cup shea butter
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1/2 cup almond oil

1. Melt shea butter and coconut oil in the top of a double boiler. Remove from heat and let cool for 30 minutes. 

2. Stir in almond oil and essential oils of your choosing.

3. Wait until oils start to partially solidify then whip until a butter-like consistency is achieved. This should only take a few minutes. 

4. Place in clean, glass jar and enjoy! A little goes a long way.

Apple Fig Salad

This is the salad I served with lunch yesterday. I used a mix of salads from Earthbound Organic...namely Mixed Greens, Mixed Herbs, and Frisee. Mixed with the Apple Honey Dressing and topped with: Apple slices, Dried Fig slices, Raw sunflower seeds, and Raw Pepitos.

Apple Honey Dressing

1 1/2 apples
1 T honey
2 ounces Orange Juice
4 cloves garlic
1 T tarragon

blended all using my "rocket" blender
