Yes, summer is winding down. But with fall right around the corner, there are more than a few things to look forward to: the crisp air, the kaleidoscope of color as the leaves start to turn. And then there's the green light to pumpkin spice everything! [1]

But why stop at lattes when you can make a sweetly spiced, nourishing body butter at home? This DIY [2] recipe combines shea butter, cocoa butter, almond oil, and coconut oil to moisturize dry skin. Cinnamon, vanilla, and clove bud essential oils add that seasonal touch, plus some good-for-you benefits. Cinnamon helps boost circulation, vanilla is rich in antioxidants, and clove bud soothes sore muscles. As always, do a patch test first before applying essential oils to your skin.
