While I'm not a very granola, crunchy, organic type of person, I've decided to attempt clean eating to correct some minor health issues that have popped up recently. Starting in January 2013, my family will attempt to rid our diet of preservatives, additives and other processed/junk food. Along with clean eating, I still want to save money, so my adventures will see what kind of deals I can get on natural foods.

Eating Clean 12 Days of Christmas -- Body Butter
Along with lip balm and body scrub, I also made some homemade body butter. Seriously, this was ridiculously easy. You take coconut oil, add it to your mixer, and just let it whip into a luscious, creamy mixture. Add in several drops of essential oils if you want a scent other than coconut and put into jars. Really, that's it!
You only have to use a little on your body to go a long way too. I used too much and it ended up feeling too greasy.
What I spent:
Coconut Oil -- $6.97
Essential Oil -- $3.99 (I only used about 1/3 so $1.33)
Jars -- $7.00
Total cost -- $15.30 or $1.53 per jar
