DIY Hot Pix! Cinnamon Toothpicks

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 even sold them at school.  Such a dangerous attraction :)

Lately, there seems to be a resurgence of cinnamon toothpick popularity!  Cinnamon toothpicks are great if you're trying to quit smoking or chewing tobacco, they're really good breath fresheners, low in calories {zero}.  Cinnamon is darn healthy for you too!  Rest assured when you reach for a Hot Pix, your 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 pure Cinnamon EO

Fractionated Coconut Oil

Lots of toothpicks, flat or round

Pour a generous amount of Cinnamon 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!
