Homemade Popsicles

"They really do taste like fudgesicles! I didn't follow an exact recipe (sorry!), but it's easy to adjust the ingredients to taste. It was something like 2 bananas, 2 avocados, couple tbs honey, couple tbs cocoa, 1/2c coconut milk, handful of spinach. Blend in a blender until smooth. It should be pourable, but still thick.

Lip Balm

Ingredients:
1 teaspoon paraffin wax
4 teaspoons coconut oil
4 teaspoons petroleum jelly
4 white or pink (or whatever color you like) candy melts
1/2 teaspoon oil-based candy flavoring

Directions:
Grate the wax into a ziploc freezer bag. Add the coconut oil, petroleum jelly, candy melts and the flavoring. Place the bag in a bowl of very hot water and allow the ingredients to melt together. Massage the bag a bit to mix the ingredients together. Snip a corner from the bag and squeeze the ingredients into small containers (we used sterilized bead holders purchased from JoAnn). Pop your lip gloss containers into the fridge to cool completely.
