\"nkzb8thp9ncf2jfdchyp45efebxvquhaeuvfe7re5cwwj628.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"What Christmas scents evoke memories for you? Some of my favourite scents around this season are oranges & spices like Cardamom, Cinnamon & Ginger! My \u2018go to\u2019 Winter drink has been a Chai Latte, for years & no matter where you go during Christmas Season, you will surely catch scents like Cinnamon, Mulled Wine & Sweet Orange.<\/p>

\"1gcetiljrppil0pve6tsfggxtzrlprektcthjmxs9ewdmw4p.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"Mandarin scents remind me of Christmas when I was a very small child, as no matter what other gifts I received, there was always an orange in my stocking & sometimes a Mandarin scented glycerin soup. So whenever I catch these scents, it warms my heart & makes me smile\u2026<\/p>

Ginger is another favourite scent of mine, as I just love the snap of the Scandinavian Pepparkakor ginger thin biscuits & tasting the warming spices of clove & Ginger in them\u2026& of course, there's always the traditional gingerbread house!<\/p>

\"ulrukxvk7smuusmwfom3zlihucnery2r5nn1ngn9d7odxxx4.jpg.jpg?w=1140&z=1.4413935982874668&fx=0.6022285248719245&fy=0.6479427489784316&v=2\"Orange is a synonamous scent for the Winter in the Northern hemisphere because traditionally, it was eaten to maintain our Vitamin C levels during low daylight, when there is little to no sunshine. We are all aware that with Winter comes the flu season too & Vitamin C helps us to combat these germs by boosting our immune system.<\/p>

\"2ejho7j0ntengibaksukccmda1lfa1pbmywosp1z6u5vvjcy.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"Many spices not only contain powerful antioxidants which assist with anti-aging in skincare but also have superpowers in fending off colds & flu type viruses, when eaten (as well as many other health benefits).<\/p>

This recipe combines both these gorgeous Seasonal, uplifting elements in a lovely, light fluffy Body Mousse which feeds & nourishes our skin through harsh Winter months & leaves us feeling pampered with it's luxurious, rich moisturising properties. How would you like a Body Mousse as fluffy as this Festive drink?!<\/p>

\"zupwp4vifbipfdage9j5bbjldi40xppotj0f0zw7xoz6wewe.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"Jojoba Oil was mentioned in last blog HERE<\/a> but is extremely helpful to our skin in many ways. Argan Oil (also from Africa), is mentioned in the last recipe blog too -\u2019Ginger & Rose Scented Body Oil\u2019 above (check the YouTube video HERE<\/a>).<\/p>

Extra ingredients you may need for this recipe are the Orange\/Cinnamon blend Essential Oil, (follow this link https:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/5fkQSf4<\/a>. ) <\/p>

Raw Shea Butter (here is the link: https:\/\/amzn.eu\/d\/j0eE4Xa<\/a>)<\/p>

and Sunflower Oil which you may already have in your own kitchen! Yes, kitchen Sunflower Oil - used for cooking!<\/p>

\"nc7ctiugbotbxkp1kiznkep22iprgnaojxgwflx3w6ybbgp4.jpg.jpg?w=1140&v=2\"Sunflower Oil is actually commonly used in Skincare products already (even some mainstream commercial ones). Sunflower Oil has amazing skin benefits as it not only helps to boost Barrier Function<\/a> of our skin but assists in it's maintenance.<\/p>

Shea butter is from the Shea Nut in Africa & has wonderous moisturising & protective properties for the skin (being packed with antioxidants), so is amazing during the Winter! It is a soft butter so while it can be heated, it doesn't require it - unlike other hard butters such as Cacao Butter (a by product of the chocolate industry & smells divine!). This is what Shea Butter looks like, if you haven't seen it raw (representational image only).<\/p>
