That means it\u2019s time for lots of tea, candles, and everything pumpkin. In between jumping in the leaves and baking a pumpkin pie, take an afternoon to whip up some festive body care treats. You can treat yourself to a cozy spa evening or make them for your friends!<\/p>\n<p>These recipes are intentionally simple so you won\u2019t need to spend a lot of time or money getting everything together. You will need some tools to get started. You\u2019ll want measuring cups, measuring spoons, mixing bowls, and either a double boiler or a pot and a heat safe bowl. A food scale is very handy as well, but if you don\u2019t have one, don\u2019t worry, you can easily work around it.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Before we get started, I\u2019m going to give the usual disclaimer. Please be careful when you\u2019re creating your lotions and potions. Be careful melting your oils and butters, and avoid getting anything in your eyes or mouth. These recipes are made with sensitive skin in mind, but if you do have sensitive skin, feel free to reduce the number of essential oils.<\/p>\n<p>Store these creations in a cool, dark place, away from the sun. Use within a couple of months, as these do not have preservatives. It\u2019s also best to store in well-sealed jars and use clean spoons to remove the product instead of your hands, as they can transfer bacteria.<\/p>\n<h4>Pumpkin Pie Body Scrub<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_183981134-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-43663 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_183981134-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"813\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_183981134-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_183981134-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_183981134-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_183981134-1-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Makes 2 cups<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 \u00bc Cup Sugar<\/li>\n<li>\u00be Cup Melted <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-solutions-coconut-oil_19655.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coconut Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>20 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-cinnamon-cassia_19563.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cinnamon Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>4 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-clove-oil_118542.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clove Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>4 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-nutmeg-oil_72983.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nutmeg Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We\u2019re starting off with the simplest recipe, and the Fall classic, a Pumpkin Pie Body Scrub! It\u2019s a very moisturizing scrub, with lots of coconut oil to soothe your skin throughout the colder months.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is add everything into a large bowl and mix with a spoon. You\u2019ll want to use melted coconut oil as solid oil won\u2019t mix very well. Once everything is thoroughly mixed, simply pour it into a sealable jar, and you\u2019re good to go!<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re not going to use this right away, keep it in your fridge for maximum freshness. But be aware that coconut oil will harden when cold, so if you want to use it, you\u2019ll need to let it warm up and soften first.<\/p>\n<h4>Spiced Chocolate Body Butter<\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_653609686.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-43634 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-well.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_653609686.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"806\" height=\"536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_653609686-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_653609686-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/well.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/shutterstock_653609686-700x467.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 806px) 100vw, 806px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Makes roughly 2 cups<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>325 g of Solid <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/penny-lane-organics-cocoa-butter_108065.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cocoa Butter<\/a> = 1 \u00bd Cup Melted<\/li>\n<li>\u00bd Cup Melted <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-solutions-coconut-oil_19655.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coconut Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>24 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/divine-essence-cardamom-white_115298.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cardamom Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>16 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-cinnamon-cassia_19563.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cinnamon Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>14 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-clove-oil_118542.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Clove Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>8 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-ginger-oil_19579.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ginger Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This spicy, chocolate body butter is a Fall essential. The cocoa butter reduces inflammation, moisturizes, and smells like chocolate! The coconut oil gives the butter a more lotiony feel and is super moisturizing. The essential oils are reminiscent of a spiced chai latte and combined with the chocolatey cocoa butter, the scent is heavenly.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a food scale, you can weigh your solid cocoa butter before you start melting. This makes the process a lot easier as you won\u2019t need to estimate and weigh the butter later.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll start by melting your cocoa butter and coconut oil. If you have a double boiler, you\u2019re good to go. If you don\u2019t, fill a small to medium sized pot with water, about halfway. Place a heat safe bowl on top. The water shouldn\u2019t be touching the bowl. You\u2019ll add your cocoa butter and oil to the bowl, and bring to a boil. Then lower the heat to a simmer that\u2019s hot enough to melt the oils, but not hot enough to boil over. Keep an eye on this, as you don\u2019t want it to boil over and make a mess.<\/p>\n<p>When the butter and oil are melted, pour into a mixing bowl and add your essential oils. Then you can pour the liquid into a glass jar and allow it to set for several hours. If you prefer a whipped body butter, you can use a classic blender, immersion blender, or hand mixer to beat the butter until it\u2019s fluffy.<\/p>\n<h4>Orange Spice Lip Balm<\/h4>\n<p>Makes 100 mL<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>15 g Solid <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/penny-lane-organics-premium-ontario-beeswax_109022.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beeswax<\/a> = 1 TB Melted<\/li>\n<li>30 g Solid <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/penny-lane-organics-cocoa-butter_108065.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cocoa Butter<\/a> = 2 TB Melted<\/li>\n<li>2 TB Melted <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-solutions-coconut-oil_19655.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Coconut Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>8 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-orange-oil_81908.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Orange Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>6 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-cinnamon-cassia_19563.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cinnamon Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<li>6 Drops <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/now-essential-oils-ginger-oil_19579.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ginger Essential Oil<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This spicy lip balm was inspired by a cinnamon balm that\u2019s perfect for Fall.

I\u2019ve created lots of DIY recipes before, but never bath bombs. So I adapted this recipe from <a href=\"https:\/\/wellnessmama.com\/8350\/bath-bombs-fizzies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wellness Mama<\/a>, and they turned out wonderfully. I used the more traditional spherical bath bomb molds that gave the finished product a more finished look, but you can also use ice cube trays, <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/non-stick-mini-donut-pan_70945.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mini donut tins<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/products\/kushies-silitray-food-storage_127091.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">silicone pods<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The essential oils in this recipe are meant to be cozy and warm while helping you breathe a bit easier. They\u2019re great to treat yourself, but also perfect for when you\u2019re feeling a little congested.<\/p>\n<p>These were surprisingly easy to make, and oh so fun to use. Simply mix the dry ingredients together in one bowl, and the wet ingredients in another. Combine together, and mix with your hands. Use gloves if you have sensitive skin.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re using two bath bomb molds that will eventually be joined (to make a sphere), you\u2019ll want to overfill each half of the mold. Then you can squish them together with your hands, using a lot of pressure. Once you\u2019ve used all of the bath bomb mixtures, leave them to dry for at least an hour. Keep them out of the sunlight, and preferably in a cool place.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re ready to remove the bath bombs, lightly tap on the outside of the molds with a spoon. The key here to be really gentle with them. Gently remove one half of the mold, and if there\u2019s any resistance, tap it again with the spoon and leave it to dry a little longer. Once you\u2019re able to remove one side of the mold, gently remove the other, and you\u2019ll be left with a beautiful, totally natural (and unique) bath bomb!<\/p>\n<p>I hope you give these recipes a try, and if you do, let us know how they work for you![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_single_image image=&#8221;43631&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][vc_column_text]Fall is here, and before we know it, Winter will be too.
