The Renaissance Mama's Whipped Love Butter

Ok, now we are going to get a little intimate….. let’s talk about lube, shall we?

 (Warning….this post will refer to the vagina….a lot….)

Seriously, there are so many ways that your personal lubricant may be harming you.  And guess what, you aren't just eating this stuff… your also putting it in your vagina. HELLO?!

Here is why your over-the-counter personal lubricant (may be) terrible for you:

• It may decrease fertility
• It may feed Candida
• It may kill vaginal flora
• It may cause hormone disruption
• It may cause cell damage

It's even worse if you are using a petroleum based product.  Read this report from AARP.

Sound sexy, huh? Why not try this instead?! This is an EDIBLE, soft, and luscious homemade lubricant. Not only is it completely natural and safe, but it also can be used for a sensual massage. You don’t have to whip it, however, whipping it makes it easier to scoop out when the moment arises! If you do whip it and you live in hot weather, it will probably not hold it’s form. However, like I said, whipping is optional. If your house is below 73 degrees, then it should hold it’s whipped form.

For this recipe, I highly recommend you use the best quality products you can find. I like to the ones I recommend in the recipe below. This recipe uses Peppermint Essential Oil which has some really great benefits for vaginal health. You don’t need a lot of peppermint essential oil (ouch), but just enough to get some good vaginal health benefits, along with making the love butter even more delicious! Let’s face it, mint and chocolate together are just delicious! Bonus that the peppermint also causes a slight cooling/tingling sensation! You pay big bucks for those lubricants in the store.

I, also, use coconut oil in this recipe which is anti-viral and anti-fungal. The only warning that I give is that you CANNOT use this lubricant with latex condoms. I recommend you pick up polyurethane condom (non-latex) if you do use condoms. Trojan and Lifestyles both make one.

I add honey to the recipe to make it so yummy. If you like, you can omit the honey...but it does taste better in my option!

For a warming sensation, use a little Cinnamon or Cassia oil instead of Peppermint!

Please remember, essential oils are very powerful.  Start with the minimum amount and work your way up.

Chocolate Mint Love Butter

Ingredients:

1/2 cup of Cacoa/Cocoa Butter

1/2 cup of coconut oil

4 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil or less depending on your sensitivity ( get it here)

3 teaspoons of raw honey – you can omit this if you are just making a massage butter and won’t need it to *clears throat* taste good. Any local/organic honey will work.

Directions:

Put the cacao/cocoa butter in a double boiler. Or if you don’t have a double boiler, like me, you can just make your own. Put a smaller pot inside a bigger pot that is filled with water.  Once the cacao butter is melted, add the coconut oil and stir together.  Add the 4 drops of peppermint essential oil and the 3 teaspoons of honey (if using). Stir together.  Pour the mixture into a bowl and let it cool on the counter for about 10 minutes.  Then put it in the fridge for about an hour. You will see it starting to get hard.  After an hour or two, throw it in a mixer and whip it till it forms white peaks and becomes soft and fluffy.

You’re done! Scoop it into a jar and it should keep for 3-6 months at room temperature. You can always store it in the fridge which will help it to keep even longer…up to a year.

Have lots of fun with it! This recipe makes a little more than one cup if you whip it. That should last…well that all depends on you!
