<\/p>\nThis is the first full week of February and it kicks off Doctor with a Heart month at the practice.\u00a0 So what are we doing that is different?\u00a0 We are trying to do little things that show we care- care for the world, care for our patients and care for ourselves and families.<\/p>\n
What are we doing that is special?<\/p>\n
On February 1st I cut off all of my hair – ok well around 13 inches anyways – in order to donate to a charity that makes wigs for kids with cancer.\u00a0 More on this later – I think we have chosen the charity we are just waiting to hear back on how to go about making the donation.<\/p>\n
February also marks our patient appreciation month.\u00a0 I have give aways for every patient who comes in in February – I have made (yes MADE) essential oil lip balm for everyone in this shortest, coldest, lip chappy-est month of the year. You can make your own too in case you miss it but just come in and get one from me to avoid the hassle.<\/p>\n
Actually this lip balm was given to me by my friend Sjoukje Remark – she is an RMT and my essential oil guru.\u00a0 She made it for me and later gave me the recipe.\u00a0 I loved it so much I made it for all of you.\u00a0 It has to be the cleanest, safest, chemical free-est and loveliest lip balm I have ever used.\u00a0 I had to make some.<\/p>\n
And of course I labeled it “Badass Chiropractic Lavender\/Peppermint Lip Balm” so that is awesome.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Come on in and get one this February, your lips with thank you (lavender is amazing for the skin and peppermint feels tingly and fresh).<\/p>\n
Here is the recipe:<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup Cocoa butter<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup coconut oil<\/p>\n
1\/4 cup beeswax<\/p>\n
2 tsp calendula oil<\/p>\n
2 drops vitamin E oil<\/p>\n
60 drops of essential oil (I used 15-20 lavender and 30-40 peppermint)<\/p>\n
Melt all ingredients over a double boiler and add essential oil. Pour into tubes and allow to cool. Cap and Label that Badass stuff.<\/p>\n
