Bohemian Magic Studios Presents doTERRA Essential Oil Party | DIY Orange n Peppermint Sugar Scrub Recipe I’m so very excited to bring you this video and share even more my most recent passion and obsession: doTERRA Essential Oils! In this video, I will be preparing for my very first doTERRA demonstration and DIY party! My party prep included making some foods and having some options available to let my guests try the oils out for themselves!! Here is the recipe for the pasta salad I made. I made it gluten free so my guests with dietary restrictions could enjoy the meal as well, but feel free to substitute your own dish with regular wheat pasta if you’d like! INGREDIENTS 1 Box of fusilli pasta (wheat or gluten free, up to you!) 1 red onion A few small red/orange/yellow sweet peppers 1 can of pitted and sliced black olives A few sprigs of fresh garden basil & parsley Sea salt Ground Black Pepper Extra Virgin Olive Oil White or Apple Cider Vinegar (up to you… I used white for this) 2-3 drops of Basil doTERRA Essential Oil (Can be purchased here) I will receive a small commission if you purchase through my retail page!) Optional to add (I did not add in this video, but feel free to add to your own!) – Halved cherry or grape tomatoes, and tomato basil feta cheese crumbles. I added those to another summer pasta salad which you can view HERE! DIRECTIONS: 1. Boil your pasta in a pot of sea salted water until cooked to taste (well done or al dente if you’d like) 2. Prep veggies while pasta is cooking. Cut your onions, but don’t cry like I did! haha! Wash and cut your peppers, drain your olives to relieve of high sodium levels, pick and cut your fresh basil and parsley. 3. Drain pasta and add to large bowl. 4. Add your onions, peppers, olives, herbs, & crushed black pepper 5.Toss with extra virgin olive oil and refrigerate until ready to serve 6. Once ready to serve, add your vinaigrette – mix 3/4 cup olive oil, 3/4 vinegar, 2 drops doTERRA Basil Essential Oil into a mixing bottle. Shake well, add over pasta, mix well and serve! Here is the Recipe for the DIY Wild Orange and Peppermint Sugar Foot Scrub! Ingredients & Directions: 1. Add 1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil (Not Fractionated!) to a 4 oz. jar. 2. Add 1 tablespoon of brown sugar to the jar. (if you want a coarser scrub, you may add larger crystals. If you want a gentler scrub, use a finer sugar. Mix both if you want a medium scrub) 3. Add 2 drops of Wild Orange and 1 drop or Peppermint doTERRA Essential Oils. (Can be purchased here) I will receive a small commission if you purchase through my retail page!) 4. Mix well together and place lid on! This scrub is GREAT for dry or cracked hands/feet/elbows/lips – any part of the body that is prone to chapping or cracking! DIRECTIONS FOR USAGE: 1. Stir well before each usage! 2. Take a drop in your hand and rub into affected areas 3. Scrub chapped areas with a pumice stone to smoothen out and remove excess skin! 4. Wipe off with a paper towel, not in sink! The coconut oil will harden and clog your drains! 5. Once the bulk of the concoction is wiped off with a paper towel, you may rinse feet off in a sink or tub. 6. Pat dry and repeat this process as often as you need to, probably more so in winter months when skink is more prone to chapping and cracking! Also don’t be afraid to try a spoon or taste of your concoction! All of doTERRA’s Essential Oils are Certified Therapeutic Grade, and if there are supplemental facts on the bottle, then those specific oils may be ingested. Both of the Peppermint and Wild Orange are ok for ingestion. The orange does have cleansing properties, so be careful of eating too much of that, it might activate your bowels, haha! If you are interested in purchasing any of the products you saw in today’s video or interested in a doTERRA year membership so you can save big bucks on your oils through wholesale pricing (25% off retail price all year long!) and even have the opportunity to make some extra income sharing these magickal oils, email me personally at: [email protected] Thanks for watching you guys!

Bohemian Magic Studios Presents Witchin’ Kitchen Ice Pops Welcome My Magical Beings! Join us today for some magical kitchen spells of love and prosperity! We are brewing some frozen concoctions and infusing them with rose and mint for love and prosperity! Thanks to my bff and witchy bitch for life, Kristin for the extra help in the kitchen! I got the idea for these from my good witchy friend Ellie Brucia aka The Mer Priestess. She used some lovely flavors including strawberry and cardamom, which I did not use in this demo for budget reasons. Maybe next time I will try it out. So I apologize for not showing the conclusion or final taste test of this recipe in this video… This one was actually a huge FAIL! HAHA! But that’s ok… we can’t be awesome all the time. I had used the plastic stick pop holders, and the ice would not stick to them once they were frozen. The pops were actually stuck in the containers! Maybe next time I will try wooden popsicle stick holders! SUBSCRIBE TO MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL! Comments? Questions? Suggestions? Email Me! [email protected]  Today I have a super easy and super YUMMY recipe for you all! I LOVE making these when I’m hungry for brunch, lunch, or even late at night. I’ll even make it before I go to bed. And it’s pretty healthy, full of veggies and protein! I also have a little surprise elixir in store for you to enjoy along side of this yummy dish! So without further adieu, I present to you this recipe… VEGGIE FRITTATA WITH GUAVA NECTAR, ORANGE JUICE, & BLUEBERRY SMOOTHIE  Ingredients for Frittata Half a Zucchini 1 Tomato Half a small onion A few pinches of fresh parsley Salt & Pepper Olive Oil So first you want to chop your veggies. I used Zucchini, Tomato, & Onion. They are my FAVE together, and especially with eggs. Also, be sure to give em a rinse first before chopping!  Coat your pan with some olive oil, fire up that heat and once that starts sizzling, throw in your veggies! These are going to have to cook for awhile before adding your egg. So stir those around a bit, get them coated in the olive oil, and then turn the heat down a bit, place a lid over them, and let them cook from the steam! Set it and forget it for awhile…  Now you want to get out 2 eggs and scramble those! Now after scrambling my eggs, I love to add salt & pepper, sometimes a little crushed red pepper for heat,AND FRESH PARSLEY! Let’s go outside to my parsley plant to pick a few sprigs!  Well that was a nice little surprise! Have a nice day Mr. Grubby! Now back to our recipe. Rinse your garden parsley…  And add to your scrambled egg mixture…  Once that’s all mixed, check on your veggies! If they are still not tender, leave them cook until they are! Once they are cooked all the way through, you can add your egg to the pan now.  Make sure the egg covers the whole bottom of the pan, coating all of your veggies as well. Put heat on low, place a lid over it, and let your eggs cook through. While that is cooking, let’s start on our magical elixir!  Ingredients Strawberry Guava Orange Juice Fresh Blueberries Ice Tools: Magic Bullet So for this recipe I used my handy dandy Magic Bullet. This this is AWESOME for making smoothies of any kind. I started by filling my bullet halfway with ice, then halfway with this YUMMY STRAWBERRY GUAVA to cover that ice, then the remainder of the bullet cup with the orange juice.  You want to blend that until there are no more huge ice chunks. Once you have a nice blended consistency, now add a handful of blueberries! By now your cup should already be pretty full of smoothie, so be careful not to make it overflow!  Put the cap back on and blend again, just so the blueberries are crushed up into the mixture now! Ok your smoothie is done now! Let’s put our bullet cup in the fridge until it is ready to serve with our Frittata! Let’s check on that now… Throughout the course of me making the smoothie, I was also checking my frittata every now and then. I kept scraping the sides around the eggs in the pan, and also poked some holes in the center with a fork to prevent air bubbles. When your eggs look like the picture below, they are done! The olive oil I used to grease the already nonstick pan ensures that my frittata will slide ride out onto and plate!  VIOLA!  Let’s pour our magical elixir!! I garnished with some fresh mint from the garden! How refreshing does this look!?!?  A beautiful table scape for a beautiful day! I can feel fall in the air already… The breeze on this day was so perfect, and the flowers are already starting to hide away.  LET’S DIG IN!  This dish is so enchantingly delicious!  OOPS! I ate the WHOLE THING!!! I hope you enjoyed this recipe as much as I did! Please try it out, and let me know if you have other ideas to add to the recipe! I’d love to hear!  HAVE A MAGICKAL DAY!  I grew up in an Italian Household where my parents were always entertaining and throwing dinner parties. The one smell that I always love, is the scent of peppers roasting in the oven! It just always smells like home. I usually always have these on the antipasto menu! They are DELICIOUS, and absolutely EASY to make…  ROASTED RED PEPPERS Ingredients 1 Red Pepper per person 1 Clove of Garlic A Few Sprigs of Fresh Parlsey Extra Virgin Olive Oil Sea Salt Ground Black Pepper So we are going to start with our peppers, I am going to make 2 for today. Before we cook with them, let’s just rinse them anyway to be safe! After they are rinsed, dry them, and place them on a baking sheet covered with tin foil. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Pop those babies in the oven, and leave them in there for about a half hour or until the skins look like they’re starting to charr and start peeling off of the pepper… You also want your peppers to feel soft to the touch, not really firm anymore, so make sure the insides are cooked before taking them out!  Take them out and let them cool before handling!! Once they are cooled enough remove the stem/core and start peeling the skins off! After removing the skins, start running the peppers under water to remove all of the seeds and any skin remaining off the pepper slices.  Place them in a dish, because we are going to start seasoning these babies!  Chop up your cloves of garlic and collect your Parsley from your garden, or purchase it from your local farmer’s market as well! If that’s the case, give them a little rinse as well. Add your Extra Virgin Olive Oil to your peppers,sprinkle your garlic and parsley over the top, and then lastly add a pinch of sea salt and ground black pepper.  Give that a good mixing, and you might wanna wrap this up and fridge it for 20 – 30 minutes before eating. They are best when they are cold! Alrighty! It’s time to try out our afternoon snack! OH MY GOODNESS! DELICIOUS!!!  It’s been a great day of experimenting in my kitchen, and showing you some recipes that I made up, or just grew up with. Try them yourself, and let me know in the comments how you like them, or if you decide to try them, and you have your own ideas to add to them, I’d love to hear about em! Ta ta for now!  So I managed to get my hands on this Sunburst Green Tea Flavored Mighty Leaf Iced Tea! My mom brewed it the first time without all of the dressings I added this time, and it was a bit too strong even for me, so I added some stuff to soften the taste a bit for those who don’t like their iced tea too strong.  Ingredients 1 Mighty Leaf Sunburst Green Tea Bag 1/4 to 1/2 cup Sugar (Depending on how sweet you like yours) 1 Fresh Orange A Handful of Fresh Garden Mint Ice  So the steps for this recipe is pretty easy! First you boil your pot of water. (I don’t use a kettle for making ICED teas, I use a pot, because you want room to steep your tea bags using the whole batch of water!) And the tea bags for THIS specific tea are HUGE, but they are so pretty and they smell SOOOO GOOD!  So once your pot of water comes to a boil, turn off the heat, and add your 1 large tea bag! Let that steep for however long, if you like stronger tea, let it steep longer, and if you like weaker tea let it steep shorter. While that is steeping, go ahead and add your sugar, and stir, stir, stir! You want all of your sugar to dissolve into the hot water. At this point you’re going to let your pot of water cool, or at least become lukewarm so it is a bareable temperature to work with when you add your fruit and herbs, which we are not trying to cook! *giggles* So now would be a good time to prep our fruit!  Cut up one orange into slices like seen in the above picture! Also be sure to collect some fresh mint from your garden, if you do not have a garden you can buy it from any supermarket (Just be careful of pesticides, YUCK!!). Most farmer’s markets these days sell organic produce, which don’t use pesticides, BUT I’d give them a good rinse off anyway, cuz you really don’t know where it’s coming from or who is handling it. If you’re picking from the garden, be careful of BEES!
Now is when you add your orange, mint, and ice! How colorful and beautiful does that look!?!?  Let’s have a taste of our magical concoction! NOW, THAT’S REFRESHING! You can sip on this while cooking another whimsical recipe, or while your gardening on those hot summer days! Either way, Enjoy! Til next time…  So my mom has been making this banana bread recipe since I was very little and it’s always fun to try different versions of it with different little surprises added inside. You can pretty much add anything you want to the batter, but today I decided to try out some butterscotch morsels with walnuts. I also had dried cranberries on hand, but wasn’t sure if that would be overkill. Maybe next time! So my mother brought to my attention that the bananas were starting to go bad, which is the BEST time to make banana bread!! She wanted to make it, but she was busy with some other things, so she asked me to. So I whipped out her handy dandy recipe! INGREDIENTS 1 3/4 cups of all purpose flour 2/3 cup sugar 1 teaspoon double acting baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking soda Once I got all of my ingredients together I preheated my oven to 350 Degrees and then I added the dry ones first to a large mixing bowl.  Next add 1/2 cup of shortening, or you can use butter or margarine. I actually used Earth Balance Vegan Butter and it worked just as well! I also used the same thing to grease my pan. Here in this step you want to cut the butter or shortening into your dry ingredients with 2 knives, scissor style, OR you can do what I did and mash it all together with your hands… (Make sure you take off your rings and your hands are clean !)  Mash it together until you get these coarse crumbs!  Next mash up your 2 overly riped nanners, and lightly beat 2 eggs!  Add that to your crumbly dry mixture along with a half a cup of your butterscotch morsels and a half a cup of your crushed walnuts!  Fold all of that into your batter with a spatula!  Now grease your bread pan, and pour your batter into it. Pop that baby in the oven and set your timer to 55 minutes to 1 hour!  Before our next recipe, let’s take a much needed and well deserved break! Time to LICK THE BOWL!!! :-X (That part always makes me still feel like a kid again!) While that is in the oven it is time to get started on our magickal refreshing Chai Tea Elixir! This is great to drink on the side with your banana bread! CHAI TEA ELIXIRFirst bring a pot of water to a boil…  Once that is boiled, turn off the heat and get out 2 teabgs. I love this Organic Tazo Chai, but you can use any brand of Chai that you wish.  Put the 2 tea bags in your pot of HOT water and let that steep. You might want to wrap the tea bag’s string around the pot handle to prevent the whole thing from falling into the water. Be careful not to burn yourself doing this! Also, while your teabags are steeping and your water is still HOT, now add your sugar and stir so it dissolves. You can add sugar to taste: less if you don’t like it as sweet, or more if you love a sweet chai like myself  While your tea is steeping, check on your banana bread! Stick a toothpick or fork in the center, and if you have raw batter come out onto the fork, then let it bake a bit more. Mine was actually still a bit uncooked in the center after a full hour. I think I added an extra 10 minutes, and again it was still uncooked. Finally after adding another 15, it was baked all the way through.  Time to take out our BANANA BREAD! Let that cool on your stovetop now, and go check on your chai tea…  Once your tea is lukewarm on the stove, now it is time to pour it into a pitcher, add a handful of ice,and also some milk to taste. Add more if you like your tea lighter, less if you love a dark tea. I love my chai creamy, so I added a lot of milk! Put that in the fridge to chill it for a bit until you are ready to serve! While your bread is cooling, and your tea is chilling, there are a few things I want to show you… I bought some new books!! I had a some money on a gift card that I had been saving for a special occasion. Well I had just finished reading Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen, and I was really craving more of her magical stories, so I had set out to find some more of her work.  I picked up The Girl Who Chased the Moon, and The Sugar Queen. Aren’t these beautiful? I can’t wait to devour their magical pages!  Aside from the Sarah Addison Allen Books, I also stumbled upon a beautiful bright pink leather bound book called Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Other Stories. I thought the cover was so enchanting with its filigreed whimsical cover with golden accents.  The inside covers are beautifully illustrated with gold dipped pages. The book also includes a silk book mark sewn into the binding and the pages themselves include the original illustrations by Sir John Tenniel  The back cover has the Mad Hatter on it, which I loved as well!! I cannot wait to read these amazing works!  I thought the book was so beautiful that I just had to add it to my collection! I really wanted to share it with you all O would you look at that! Our bread is cooled and our chai tea latte is chilled!  Would you like a slice or two? Don’t forget to have some iced chai tea latte! It is sure to keep you cool on this HOT SUMMER’S DAY!  I think I have decided which book I want to start with: THE SUGAR QUEEN!  Now excuse me while I cozy up in a cushiony chair under the shaded pergola and devour my tasty afternoon sweet treats and my magical book! CHEERS!  |
