DIY Hot Pix! Cinnamon Toothpicks for Dudes :)


Flashback...

Vintage Kettering Elementary, my first introduction to cinnamon toothpicks.  If anyone was caught with these in their mouth it was a guaranteed visit to the principal's office.  Of course, we rode our bikes to the pharmacy, bought our own cinnamon oil and sold them at school.  They were a dangerous attraction!






Lately, there seems to be a resurgence of cinnamon toothpick popularity!  I've heard that cinnamon toothpicks are great if you're trying to quit smoking or chewing tobacco, they're really good breath fresheners, low in calories {zero} and somewhat attractive.  No??


Cinnamon is darn healthy for you too!  Rest assured when your guy reaches for his Hot Pix, he's choosing wellness, mental acuity and a really hot snack. 




How to Make Your Own Cinnamon Toothpicks


1  small glass jar with a lid
1  5ml bottle of doTERRA Cinnamon Bark essential oil
Fractionated Coconut Oil
Lots of toothpicks, flat or round


Pour a generous amount of Cinnamon Bark EO into the small glass jar, add a bit of fractionated coconut oil to help disperse the essential oil and add the toothpicks.  Put the lid on snugly and shake like crazy.  Let soak overnight, then set out to dry the next day.  You can keep the remaining Cinnamon mixture for a long time to use later, just keep the jar sealed!



Two great container ideas for Hot Pix on the go!


An EMPTY Peppermint Beadlets Bottle.


The ever popular Altoids tin.


Wouldn't your guy love to see these in his Stocking??
Enjoy!
