10 Festive Christmas Peppermint Body Recipes

November 21, 2017 by Shellie Wilson Leave a Comment

These DIY Peppermint recipes are delightfully festive. I love the smell of peppermint at Christmas time. Peppermint is refreshing and a natural anti-bacterial agent. These recipes all contain Peppermint essential oil or peppermint leaves.  Why not create a jar of Peppermint scrub and gift it to friends and family for a Handmade Christmas gift. All of these Peppermint recipes are nourishing and smell amazing too.

Peppermint is such a classic Christmas scent that can be used all year around. I have to say the easiest thing t make at Christmas time is scented bath salts. You can literally make KG of this bath salt up in no time at all.  I used to own a bath salt business and would make up 5 kg bags in less than 10 mins.  A few tricks I am not willing to share but one of them is using a tossing action, grabbing a strong bag for your ingredients, and toss it to mix through the fragrant or essential oils.

Peppermint oil is a versatile essential oil that blends well with many other essential oils. Some of the most popular essential oils that blend well with peppermint oil include:

Eucalyptus oil: This oil has a fresh, minty aroma that complements the cool, refreshing scent of peppermint. Together, they create a powerful blend that can help to clear the airways and ease respiratory issues.

Lavender oil: Lavender oil has a sweet, floral aroma that can help to balance out the sharp, minty scent of peppermint. This combination is great for promoting relaxation and easing stress and anxiety.

Lemon oil: Lemon oil has a bright, citrusy scent that pairs well with the refreshing aroma of peppermint. This blend can help to uplift your mood and promote mental clarity.

Rosemary oil: Rosemary oil has an herbal, woody aroma that can complement the cool, minty scent of peppermint. This blend is great for promoting focus and concentration.

Tea tree oil: Tea tree oil has a strong, medicinal scent that can help to enhance the cooling and refreshing properties of peppermint. Together, they create a powerful blend that can help to soothe skin irritation and promote healthy skin.

When blending essential oils, it’s important to use caution and follow proper dilution guidelines to avoid irritation or sensitization. It’s also a good idea to do a patch test before using any new essential oil blend on your skin.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
