Nature and Nurture

A bright and magical word floating around dōTERRA® right now is mālama, a Hawaiian term that encapsulates the idea of sharing hope and healing through gifts of the earth. With an upcoming day in May set aside for us to show special honor to our mothers, it’s a wonderful time to think about how women extend hope and healing to their families every day, and how to use essential oils to support them in their extremely important tasks. Whether you go by the name Mom, Mum, Mama, or something else entirely, it’s your nature to nurture; and you deserve thanks for that role. Remember to take a few minutes out of your day to do something for yourself.

Babies! They make the world go round. More accurately, their mamas make the world go round by raising these little girls and boys to become the next generation to fill this world and be a force for good. It’s about time we zoom in on some recipes tailor made to help parents care for their little ones — naturally. Grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends, you lean in too; these are great gift ideas!

Commercial baby wipes are often made with ingredients that can be irritating to a baby’s delicate skin. Add to that the fact that we live in an era when simplification and less dependence on store-bought products are on the rise, and this practical recipe for homemade wipes is beginning to sound like an intriguing addition to the modern diaper bag.

To create Homemade Wipes, you’ll need:

• 1 roll premium paper towels

• 2 cups warm water

• 2 tablespoons Fractionated Coconut Oil

• 3 drops Lavender oil
