I was absolutely tickled pink to receive this month’s Simply Earth March Box! Last month’s Simply Earth Box was all about skin care, but this is month’s is about fun body products. Claire was pretty darn excited, too. In fact she asked multiple times to make the recipes before we had a chance to mix them up. We all enjoyed making these body products and trying out the Raspberry Mica Powder in some of these recipes. It is absolutely beautiful! Here are some really fun recipes you can make at home that you will definitely enjoy using in your routine! See what is inside with the wonderful recipes!
This month’s Simply Earth January box contains glycerin soap base, flower soap mold, mica powder, and 4 specially curated essential oils. This month’s essential oils are:
- Cypress- calms, deodorizes, skincare
- Mandarin- calms, cleans, skincare
- Grapefruit-energizes, uplifts, skincare
- Head Soothing- soothes
This month’s recipes are Find a Rainbow Diffuser Blend, Citrus Joy Roll-on, Unicorn Soap, Pink Tinted Lip Balm, Eye & Cheek Tint, and DIY Shave Butter.
Find a Rainbow Diffuser Blend
Claire was excited to make this lightly cirtus-y spring time blend, It’s a nice, light, fresh scent that we all enjoy.
Citrus Joy Roll-On
With the grey skies, we can use all the joy we can get! Claire read the recipe and said, “Oh I need to make this! We will definitely use it.” OK girl! You go for it! It does smell very nice and I find it to be very uplifting. Citrus scents always make me smile.
Unicorn Soap
Claire took full creative control of this one (hence the slightly brown color since she accidentally added the sprinkles too early-oops). She could not wait to make it. She’s made soaps from kits before, but this shape, the layers, and sprinkles made this so much better! We love the fruity scent, too.
Pink Tinted Lip Balm
I always love a tinted lip balm because my lips are so pale. This shade is perfection. It is very natural looking and goes on so smoothly. Claire added a few extra drops of the grapefruit essential oil because it is her favorite. Yay for personalizing!
Eye & Cheek Tint
This is so pretty! I have tried it on my eyes and on my cheeks and prefer it as a cheek tint. It works well on the eyes, too. It’s a moisturizing tint and gives a slight flush. This will be perfect this summer over a BB or CC cream with a little color.
DIY Shave Butter
I was so excited to try this new recipe! I typically shave with soap and water so having this shave butter is extra luxurious. It feels so nice and moisturizing, too. I was surprised at how easy it was to make!
ADDED BENEFITS
The Simply Earth subscription box is a wonderful opportunity to begin using essential oils more and making useful and fun items you can use in your home. I learn things every month! This month I was so excited to learn how to make the shave butter. I think my favorite recipe was either the shave butter or the Pink Tinted Lip Balm with the mica. It’s so pretty! (PS- this mica powder is ethically sourced in the US with no synthetics) Make sure you get your box soon because it is predicted to SELL OUT BY MARCH 23RD!

GIVING BACK
I also love that 13% of all products go to support organizations that work to end human trafficking. This month Simply Earth is giving 13% of their profits to The Daughter Project. For over 10 years, The Daughter Project has been rescuing women and children from sex traffickers. They give survivors the holistic care they need on their healing journey.
A Simply Earth monthly subscription can do good for the environment AND society.
Next month’s box sounds amazing! If you want a sneak peek, you can look forward to a Clean & Fresh Blend, Tea Tree (my most-used essential oil), Tangerine, and Thyme!
