Easy Recipes and DIYs
Sweet Cinnamon Whipped Butter
This sweet cinnamon butter is always a hit, especially when paired with fresh bread. Not a baker? Grab a fresh loaf from a local bakery!
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 2-3 drops Cinnamon Bark Vitality essential oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Step 1 - Add softened butter to a mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer. Whip slightly, then add in honey or maple syrup. With the mixer running, add the Cinnamon Bark Vitality, vanilla extract, and salt (if using).
Step 2 - Whip the mixture on medium speed until it's light and fluffy – about 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a mason jar, seal the lid, and place a festive ribbon on it. Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
Step 3 - Add a card that reads: Use this sweet cinnamon whipped butter on warm bread, pancakes, waffles, or as a delicious topping for muffins and scones. Enjoy your festive treat!
Herbed Cooking & Grilling Salts
To a pint sized mason jar mix together:
- 1 cup coarse Himalayan salt
- 5 drops Rosemary Vitality essential oil
- 5 drops Oregano Vitality essential oil (optional)
- Roughly chopped fresh rosemary
Add a note tied to the jar that says: Use your herb-infused salt for grilling vegetables, meats, or as a seasoning for baked dishes. It can also be sprinkled on roasted potatoes or used as a finishing salt for soups and salads!
Homemade Sugar Cookie Mix
In a clean, dry mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order:
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Close the lid tightly and add a decorative label and ribbon with the following instructions for baking the cookies.
To Make Sugar Cookies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Gather Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Step 1 - In a large bowl, whip 1 cup softened butter until smooth, then add 1 egg and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
Step 2 - Add the mix from the mason jar to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Add 5 drops of Lemon Vitality.
Step 3 - Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 4 - Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but will firm up as they cool.

Home for the Holidays
Diffuser Blends
It's the time of year when we naturally start to slow down and savor the beauty around us, and these diffuser blends will help set the stage to do just that.
Rich in warm, spicy oils like Cinnamon Bark and Clove, these blends will also help show some love to our immune, adrenal, and respiratory systems (all of which need some TLC this time of year!). The woodsy oils in these blends help calm our minds and bodies and create the coziest holiday home. So fill up your diffuser, and keep it running all season long!
Our diffusers are running 24/7 in our homes, supporting our immune systems, respiratory systems, emotions, cleansing the air and making things smell happy and inviting all at the same time.
LIFE HACK - You can easily transform these blends into roller recipes and sprays!
To make a 10 mL roller from any recipe - triple the number of drops to make a total of 35-45 total drops, add a carrier of choice (we love V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex) and you're good to go.
To make a 2 oz spray from any recipe - double the number of drops to a total of about 25 drops, ad a splash of witch hazel and fill with filtered water. Spray on upholstered surfaces, bedding, rugs, anywhere you want to freshen!
To make an epsom salt bath mix - add desired amount of oils (we generally use about 10 drops) to 1 cup of epsom salts, then place under warm running water. Note: we generally avoid 'hot' oils (like Cypress, Oregano, and Lemongrass) in bath recipes. Use your own judgement, or stick to the more soothing and relaxing blends.
To make a 2 oz massage oil from any recipe - double the number of drops (or use your desired amount depending on the essential oils used) to a pump-top bottle, then add V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex or other carrier oil to top off the bottle. Invert to mix, then used as desired.
Happy diffusing!!
