Grateful Body Aphrodite’s Feast Restorative Review

by Leave a Comment

I have a deep love for all things Grateful Body. I love their heavenly cleansers, toners and moisturisers. As you know I am always up for an opportunity to try new products and I was thrilled when Mathea sent me out a bottle of GB’s Aphrodite’s Feast Restorative for review. This seriously super concentrated restorative delivers 100% natural and synthetic free nourishment fit for a goddess.  Containing 36 phyto-nutrient rich ingredients  such as gotu kola, black fig, kudzu, figwort and gooseberry I was in no way disappointed with the results after using this “serum” What I loved the most ( apart from the obvious ) is that AF ( Aphrodites Feast ) is so concentrated that you seriously only need the tiniest amount 2-3 drops on problematic areas. I could apply it on its own or under my moisturiser depending on my skins varying needs. It left my skin feeling BEAUTIFUL an instant pick me that left my skin glowing. I like to think of it as my secret weapon all women need a bottle of this to combat tired dull looking skin. I can only imagine how good the other restorative/serums are. At $40 a bottle ( money very well spent in my personal opinion ) I can’t help but wonder if the modern woman used more products like these there would be no need for botox, chemical peels and all that other rubbish. Follow Grateful Body on FB & Twitter  they are always having sales promotions and discounts want to buy some now well click HERE   and be sure to purchase a sample of their latest product ENZYME CLEANSE  if its like any of the other cleansers I have tried in the past it will be amazing!!

Happy Shopping 🙂

DIY Herbal Vapor Rub Balm – A Natural Vicks-Style Decongestant for Cold and Flu Relief

When someone in the house starts sniffling, you just know it’s going to make the rounds. That’s when I reach for this homemade herbal vapor rub—our family’s go-to chest balm for easing congestion, coughs, and that heavy-headed sick feeling.

Made with gentle yet powerful essential oils, this balm works just like the classic Vicks rub (but without the synthetic stuff). It’s safe, effective, and smells like a eucalyptus grove with a hint of grandma’s medicine chest—in the best possible way!

Whether you’re treating a toddler’s sniffles or trying to head off a man cold, this DIY vapor rub will be your winter wellness MVP.

Why You’ll Love This Natural Decongestant Balm

  • No petroleum or nasties – A clean, green homemade Vicks alternative 
  • Gentle enough for kids – With optional adjustments for littlies 
  • Nourishing balm texture – Melts into skin without being greasy 
  • Essential oils – Provide cooling, clearing, and comforting support 
  • Customizable – Make it stronger for adults or extra-gentle for babies 

Ingredients

Base:

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (or olive oil for a softer balm) 
  • 2 tbsp shea butter or mango butter 
  • 2 tbsp beeswax pellets 

Essential Oil Blend (for adults):

  • 10 drops eucalyptus essential oil 
  • 8 drops peppermint essential oil 
  • 6 drops rosemary essential oil 
  • 4 drops tea tree essential oil 
  • 4 drops lavender essential oil 

Optional for kids under 5:
 Replace eucalyptus and peppermint with fir needle and cedarwood atlas, and halve the total essential oil amount.

How to Make Your Own Vapor Rub

  1. Melt the base:
     In a double boiler (or a bowl over simmering water), gently melt the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax together. Stir until smooth and liquid. 
  2. Cool slightly:
     Remove from heat and let cool just a few minutes—enough that it’s no longer scalding hot but still liquid. 
  3. Add essential oils:
     Stir in your essential oil blend. Don’t add them too early or the heat will evaporate their goodness. 
  4. Pour into tins or jars:
     Carefully pour into a small glass jar or metal balm tin. Let cool completely before putting the lid on. 
  5. Label & store:
     Store in a cool place away from sunlight. Balm will keep for up to 6 months. 

How to Use Your Herbal Chest Rub

  • For chest and back: Rub a small amount onto chest, upper back, and soles of the feet during cold or flu season. 
  • For steam relief: Add a pea-sized amount to a bowl of steaming water, cover your head with a towel, and inhale. 
  • For headaches: Dab a touch on temples and neck (use caution and avoid eyes). 

Mum Tips

  • Patch test first if you’re unsure about sensitivities. 
  • Keep a tiny jar in your handbag during winter for on-the-go sniffles. 
  • For a nighttime version, add a few drops of Roman chamomile or lavender for extra sleep support.
