Bedtime Body Butter

I know it’s kind of a weird name…but I liked the 3 B’s! You better believe that’s the label I put on it. ha!

Lately, I have been having trouble with sleeping. Which was new for me. I can usually fall asleep on demand! Anywhere, anytime. But lately, the moment my head hit the pillow it was like my brain was a freaking nocturnal hamster that wouldn’t stop spinning no matter what you say!

Enter, our lovely oily community. I popped into our Facebook group and asked what are some favorite oils and products people use to help them sleep. I got so many amazing answers and decided to try some new things! Here’s what I did:

+Turned off my phone by at least 9:30 pm and no screens after 9:30 pm (I try to make this 9pm if possible)

+Added Lavender, Frankincense, Valor and Peace + Calming to my lotion

+Put a full dropper of CBD under my tongue around 9:30pm

I slept like a freaking baby!!

Praises for oils. Hallelujah!

To make it easier to apply every night I wanted to make my own lotion (and, it’s fun to do!) It’s a super simple recipe.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup shea butter

  • 2 T. coconut oil

  • 5 drops each oil (Lavender, Valor, Frankincense, Peace and Calming)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Melt shea butter and coconut oil over low heat until fully melted.

  2. Once melted, put in fridge to cool for 20 minutes.

  3. Once cooled, add your your stand mixer. Add 5 drops of each oil, and whip on high until fluffy.

  4. Place in a mason jar with a lid and put by your bedside!

Put this on the bottom of your feet every night along with a dropped of CBD sleep goooooood.

*It’s a little “greasy” so I put it on when I am already in bed and will usually put socks on (because I love socks haha) My feet are so soft!!
