Homemade DIY Fire Cider Flu Shot

by Unprocessed Momma Desireé, posted in DIY, Health, Natural

The only Flu Shot I need:
🌿🍋🥃
I’m not one for flu shots, but anytime I get a cold, fever, flu, allergies this tonic shot is what I take twice a day to boost my immune system.

I haven’t made time to make the Fire Cider recipe to have this (but with even more natural immune boosters) on hand, so this is the quick & easy version that I make when I get sick (which sadly I did)🤒 Immune boosting Tonic Shot:
ACV
Organic Lemon
Garlic
Turmeric
Ginger
Jalapeño
Cayenne
(Fill a shot glass with ACV & a dash of everything else, take 2-3x/day)
Here’s to getting better, and aiding our bodies with that process! 🌿💙

Homemade DIY Natural Vanilla Extract

by Unprocessed Momma Desireé, posted in DIY, Natural

DIY Vanilla Extract
Super Easy
Cost Effective

All you need:
-Bottle (check out thrift stores or the dollar tree)
-80 proof (or higher) Alcohol (any kind but I like Rum, p.s get bottom shelf to save some money)
-Grade B Vanilla Beans (I like these Tahitian ones & these Madagascar ones)
Pour Alcohol into bottle, slice or chop Vanilla Beans, and add to bottle, let sit 6-8weeks, shake 1/week.

A bit of money to start, but definitely will save you money (especially if you bake often like me 👩🏽‍🍳).
It’s like buying in bulk, but saves you even more than buying from Costco 🙃

Safety In The Sun

by Unprocessed Momma Desireé, posted in DIY, Health, Natural, Non-toxic, Safety, Sun, Sunscreen, Wellness

Summer is practically here (especially if you live in a warmer area like I do). This means it’s time to get outdoors even more to go to the beach, camping, hiking, and oh so much more.

The sun is great! Not only does it help your body produce Vitamin D, but if you’re like me it also puts you in a great mood! 🙂

Just like with anything else we have to do our best to remember to be responsible about our health.

The sun can let off harmful UV rays that can damage your skin in as little as 15 mins. That’s pretty quick.

Here are some helpful tips to stay safe in the sun:

  1. Hats
  2. Sunglasses
  3. Light, but covered clothing
  4. Shade
  5. & of course Sunscreen

Sadly, alot of the sunscreens out there have some NOT so good stuff in them. Don’t worry i’m here to share with you some friendly options for sunscreen.

DIY Sunscreen Recipe:

Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Servings: 2 small jars

Ingredients:
-1/2 cup organic coconut oil (Costco)
-1/2 cup shea butter
-1/4 cup organic beeswax
-20 drops lavender essential oil (make sure to check out a dilution chart for kiddos)
-1 tsp carrot seed oil optional
-4 tbsp non-nano zinc oxide (nano zinc oxide can be dangerous since it’s small enough to absorb into the bloodstream)
Instructions:
-Over low heat, melt together the coconut oil, shea butter, & beeswax. Keep stirring as it melts.
-Once all melted together, remove from heat & add the zinc oxide and essential oils.
-Stir until well blended, and transfer to a couple small glass jars to cool.

Just want to buy something? I got you:

–Laguna Herbals Face & Body Sunscreen $12

–Goddess Garden Kids Sunscreen $9 (P.S. There’s also an adult version for $11)
