One of the joys of living plastic free is that you have all kinds of useful base ingredients in the cupboards so should you 
ever forget anything, like a birthday say, you can easily remedy the situation with this fantastic bodybutter / intensive repair cream, any old guff to suit cream…. in minutes!
Here’s my recipe for super-fast, super-creamy body butter
60 grams coconut oil – hard
60 grams shea butter
5 grams oil – any oil
Mash it up with a spoon then whisk with a hand whisk to make lovely,fluffy body butter.
I Never Forgot Essential Terry’s Chocolate Orange Love Mousse.
Add some Cocoa and some Sweet Orange essential oil to the body butter
Because this is meant to be used fast, I put it in a hand decorated, compostable, paper/PLA pot from Vegware. Being paper, these are easy peasy to draw on so you can quickly personalise your pot. Few hearts and kisses later, pop the lid on, top with a card and tie up with hairy string. For sure the drawings could have been better but I only had a Sharpy, a fluero highlighter and time was against me.
NB go steady on the cocoa, too much and there is a chance you will end up looking like a politically incorrect, 70’s song and dance troupe. This can work against you in the romance department.
I Never Forgot Rose Essential Hand Repair.
Something for Mum? Here I added some colour and rose essential oil to make. I put this is one of my posh pots – glass with a metal lid….classy!
