Let’s make body butter! 🌱

Ingredients:

2 Ounces Shea Butter
2 Ounces Coconut Oil
2 Ounces Sweet Almond Oil
30 Drops Essential Oils

If you have allergies or sensitivities, you can swap these oils for ones that work with your body. Just made sure you keep the 2:1 ratio for solid oils to liquid oils. One of my favorites to swap for coconut is mango butter, and I love avocado oil for the sweet almond!

Instructions:

Add all oils into a bowl and wish until fluffy and it forms stable peaks. The oils should double in size. This isn’t the most uniform way to make body butter; if you want to make sure that the oils are dispersed perfectly, melt all oils together using a double boiler, stir well, refrigerate overnight, and then whisk.

Store in airtight jars in a cool space- I love the fridge! This will last about 3 months.

Let’s talk five beginner gardening mistakes! F

Let’s talk five beginner gardening mistakes!

Five Beginner Gardening Mistakes To Avoid:

1. Starting too big! Use a smaller plot to learn about pest control, soil composition, weeds, and light! ☀️

2. Not having a plan. Having a planting plan based on your hardiness zone is key! You’ll choose your types of plants, whether to buy seeds or seedlings, etc based on this plan. 🧊

3. Choosing plants without research. Hardiness, sun, water, and much more affect how plants will thrive. Make sure you are grabbing plants fit for your specific garden. @otoolesgardencenters employees are a GREAT resource for choosing plants that will work for you! 👩‍🌾

4. Not utilizing companion planting to maximize space and yield. 🥕

5. Direct planting mint! Specific, I know, but mint invades EVERYTHING! Plant it in a pot!

Let’s preserve bananas! 🍌 🍌 To dehydrate

Let’s preserve bananas! 🍌

🍌 To dehydrate: slice thinly and place on either dehydrator sheets or a lined baking sheet. Dehydrate about 8-10 hours on the ‘fruit’ setting. Or 1-2 hours in your oven on its lowest setting until you can feel the chips snap in your hands. This same goes for the peel! I dehydrate everything all in one batch.

🍌 To Freeze: Either place whole bananas, peel on, in a freezer sage bag and freeze or pre-prep bananas for smoothies or baking uses by cutting them into chunks or quarters and freezing them overnight on a lined baking sheet. Transfer to a freezer safe bag (I use @stasherbag )

🍌 🫖: For banana peel tea steep about a teaspoon (3-4 peels) of dehydrated banana peel in boiling water for ten minutes and drink before bed.

🍌 For Fertilizer: Pack a clean jar with banana peel and cover with water. Let sit for about a week and use as a potassium-rich fertilizer for plants.
