  • Ever eat something so good - you wish you could bathe in it? 🙋‍♀️ Tell me I’m not alone here! 😆 This week’s Chai recipe went down really well Which made me think... Chai bath bombs!! 💫 All the spices that make a Chai so delicious, also help your body to manage stress, inside and out. You get anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, detoxifying goodness - that also smells amazing! And it’s fun to make! 💫 I used my master bath bomb recipe and loaded it with cinnamon and ginger - and just a pinch of turmeric, because... 🐤🐱🐯👧👨 RECIPE: 1 cup baking soda 1/2 cup citric acid 1/4 cup cornstarch 1 tbsp buttermilk powder 1 tbsp ground cinnamon 1 tbsp ground ginger 1 tsp coconut oil 1/2 tsp vanilla extract *blend all dry ingredients *add oil, vanilla (or 20 drops vanilla eo) *blend quickly with hands *spritz with rubbing alcohol, just enough to hold shape. *decorate with a pinch of turmeric and whole peppercorns (There’s a very detailed bath bomb recipe in my blog.) 👀 ?? What would you bathe in if you could? I’ll try to help you make that happen!!
  • Have you seen the movie Chocolat? Vianne travels from town to town, dispensing her life-changing treats... ✨ Well I think I met a real life version!! ✨ He was selling freshly ground spices at a farmer’s market: cinnamon, turmeric, ginger... ✨ And he introduces me to a life-changing Chai recipe... and then disappears from my life. ✨ If I had known just how delicious it is, that this anti-inflammation tonic makes me feel better and better every time I drink it - I would have hugged him!!! ✨ I went back again and again looking for him - but he never did return... ✨ I like to think he’s sharing his spices and recipes in another town somewhere... ✨ Today I’m sharing his Chai with you! It’s the best! ✨ Find it at: littlegreendot.com
  • Dehydrated friends: your skin might feel dry at times especially after cleansing or in the mornings... your skin eagerly soaks up moisturizers and can be prone to congestion... 💦 And that’s because when we’re dehydrated, our natural oils become thick and sticky... getting clogged in our pores. 🥛 Nature gives us the perfect remed: milk. Whole milk contains lactic acids that sloughs away the drier top layer and eats away at congestion... 💫 The natural fats in whole milk moisturizes and replenishes your skin - leaving you feeling soft and supple! 👏 I love knowing that the best skincare can be right in my kitchen. 👈 My latest recipe on ( www.littlegreendot.com) helped my dehydrated skin SO much - and I shared an ingredient that amplifies the effects of milk... ✨ Use it any time you feel you need it! The full recipe is there for you. Happy Friday, have a great weekend! . . . . . #naturalskincare #milk #selfcare #facemask #dehydratedskin #recipes #simplify
  • Sensitive friends: you are more prone to reacting from toxins and irritants in your products. Your skin might be more prone to redness, inflammation and breakouts and reactive to environmental stress - like pollution, the hot sun or weather changes. 🔥 For you - antioxidants are so important, to protect from damage and to support you in managing that stress. 🍫 Luckily, nature gives us one of the most feel-good, antioxidant sources out there: chocolate! Thanks nature!! 😋 Get yourself raw cacao powder and indulge your skin with a weekly, fortifying chocolate face mask. 🥛 Mix it with a fatty milk, it can be coconut milk - just enough to make a thin paste and wear it on your skin for 15 minutes. 🤓 Check out my latest recipe for exact measurements and more information! www.littlegreendot.com 💫 I think my sensitivity is my superpower - it lets me know right away that a product or environment is not good for me - or that my body needs me to make a change. It’s not always easy to listen though! But we can nourish ourselves internally and topically with naturally supportive foods!
  • I made this mask because my skin started to feel so dehydrated... and with that came congested pores. 👃 We often think of congestion as an oily skin issue, but it’s often brought on by water-loss. 😥 Three natural ingredients came to mind that have properties which can treat dry dehydrated skin, congestion and overall sun damage. ☀️ The recipe is available to you if you need it - it’s on littlegreendot.com right now!
  • Just back from the @indiebeautyexpo in NY - saw hundreds of brands and products. What a whirlwind and experience! On my insta stories now - I share the few products and goodies that I brought home with me... from beautiful, eco brands, makers and founders 💕
  • This shower scrub is for when we’re stuck in a dull moment. Where it feels like being in traffic... you can see where you want to be - but moving slow, inching along and waiting... ✋ The aromatic herbs in this scrub helps to make you feel uplifted, stimulate your system and release that stagnation. 🙌 But it also simply makes your skin feel really amazing. And that’s always a good thing! 👍 If you’re ever feeling... dull - I hope you like this one! Natural skincare is awesome!! ✌️ The full recipe is on www.littlegreendot.com
  • Peppermint - one of the easiest herbs to grow - so aromatic and surprisingly healing! 🌱 Feeling hot, itchy, uncomfortable in your skin? Cut a few springs and infuse it into a warm bath! 🌱 It has cooling effect on the skin, soothes discomfort and even pain! Peppermint in a powerful Analgesic herb, takes the pain out of bites, stings, burns,toothaches, muscle aches and headaches. 🌱 It’s also an Antispasmodic - drinking a peppermint tea soothes digestive troubles, aches and nausea. 🌱 And it’s incredibly antimicrobial, effective against bacterial, viral and fungus infections... 🌱 All that - and - it’s also a Nervine!

About Me

Hi, I'm Militza

I was a busy mom living in a busy city, frustrated by the things I learned about the products I brought into my home. I began to make my own skincare from necessity and it turned into a happy, healthy & green lifestyle. And now I want the same for you too.
