My Buttered Life

Recipes using primary butters and oils to feed the skin

What is My Buttered Life?

My Buttered Life,The Personal Care edition, is the fourth of a series of guides containing recipes that are simple and effective, do not take complicated equipment to create, and can be made in your own kitchen.

In this book, we tackle personal care products. I've worked and re-worked these recipes over the past two years, as personal care is perhaps the most basic, yet important, area of skin care coverage. In this edition, I introduce you to the benefits of clay as a recipe ingredient.

The products: the facial cream recipe is one of the simplest recipes in this e-book to make. It's my go-to cream when I wake up to a face that feels "tight" from excessive dryness. The hair butter is a product I've sold in my online store for years and I've finally brought the recipe here for you to enjoy. Men and women with dry hair that needs added natural oils benefit the most from this recipe. It's handy for flyaway hair and can also be used as a styling agent. Black toothpaste takes the best of natural toothpaste recipes, leaves out any unnecessary ingredients, cleans your teeth and gums, and makes your teeth feel smooth while your mouth feels refreshed. The deodorant recipe went through the biggest work out. I took a fewpopular online deodorant recipes,read up on what didn't work, kept the ingredients that worked, and replaced some of the other ingredients with clay and zinc oxide. After several months of testing, I still love the results, and so does my husband, who uses it daily. Lastly, a perfume stick is the perfect product to keep in your purse or to give as a gift. Use essential oils to customize with the scent you want!

Other benefits:

Each recipe has five ingredients or less. Each recipe can be completed in less than 30 minutes. Save money by making your own products. Each recipe uses safe ingredients, most of which are edible.

Every recipe has an accompanying link to watch a how-to video with more information than what's included in this e-book. The links in the recipes will take you to From Nature With Love's (FNWL) website. If you choose to purchase ingredients from FNWL, or Mountain Rose Herbs, a small portion of the sale comes to me and is put toward future My Buttered Life editions.

The Story Behind My Buttered Life

I still remember the day I made my first hard lotion bar. It was December 2008, with Christmas right around the corner. My fingers adorned bandages rather than rings, due to the endless problem I had with cracked fingers that split to the point of bleeding. It was not exactly a Norman Rockwell view of Christmas, even with the smell of baked bread wafting through the house.

I had heard of a "lotion bar" but didn't know much about it. This was a unique lotion packed with beeswax, the one ingredient that turned a creamy lotion into a hard bar. Recipes abound on Google, containingingredients like shea butter, avocado butter, olive oil, mango butter, cocoa butter, jojoba oil, almond oil, aloe vera butter, palm oil, wheat germ oil, coconut oil... and then there were the essential oils, fragrance oils, and additives. Where in the world would I begin?

I started with the easiest recipe I could find: coconut oil, shea butter and beeswax.

Years later, I'm using the same base of simple ingredients to make rash cream, sunscreen, hair butter, belly butter, facial cream, and more. Just like your core ingredients in the kitchen (milk, butter, and eggs), much can be done with a base of butters and oils that are tweaked to create a skin care solution.

Not only have my fingers been pain-free since that day in December, but the creation of the bar triggered an idea to begin a small business. Within two years of making the first lotion bar, our family turned it into a full-time business,which has brought the hard lotion bar to thousands of hands that are now clear and cutfree. Many hard lotion consumers have also contributed inspiration and conversation that led to more recipes and more solutions.

I hope these recipes will inspire you. You'll have great results with the products you create, and I assure you that you'll come up with your own variations to make new products. Once you get your hands on natural oils and butters, you'll gain a new appreciation for the trees, plants, nuts, fruits, and seeds that bring us these amazing ingredients. The best part is that they'll increase your quality of life as they work to benefit your skin.

Let me know how your experience goes with your new skin care products, and enjoy YOUR buttered life.
