4 Ways to DIY with Venus Power Elixir
Remember when we were making DIY face masks with turmeric, greek yogurt, and avocado? Yo, I still most definitely go there on occasion, but tbh these days I have taken a back seat in a lot of DIY products, and quite honestly it's helped me save a lot of time, money, and my sanity. It’s no easy task devoting hours reading over blogs, saving resources, seeking out all the specific clean ingredients, then the wait time getting everything in the mail day by day, and by that time you have everything together and your probably are wondering where in the world you saved that one recipe. And if you’re like me you end up staining your face yellow or some other crazy reaction happens🥸
Yeah, at this point in life I see the importance of investing in brands and people that know their shit, plus if the last two years taught me anything is that my energy deserves to stay focused on my craft, and sure there’s a BIG chance that my friends would say I’m a skincare junky and I am OK with that, to each their own!
With all that being said I’ve always been one to find multiple purposes in wellness products and especially in my herbalism practice, plants are so resourceful and full of overlapping benefits. That's how I came to realize the magical uses of our seasonal Venus Power honey elixir, truly it is such a multifaceted little ally to have in your kitchen and skincare apothecary. Putting this guide together I wanted to make sure that the recipes would be easy to adopt and were adaptable for all you DIY curious. They’re tried n’ true supper easy and they shouldn’t make you have to run to the store for anything. I like to play the game of work with what you have already in the house, so keep it flirty and fun my friends because I intend to offer up some inspiration to amp up your self-care routine.
Everything in this list has truly brought my self-care game to a renewed mental space, I was bored, and now not so much! They’re quick n’ easy and honestly really fun to create, and heck the drink recipes are truly delicious, honestly, there are so many variations to these recipes, with that being said I would love to see where y’all take them, send me an email, DM on the gram or heck post a photo on your stories and tag me!!
Anyways I hope you enjoy it!
