TREAT YOUR SELF!


You can pamper yourself or a special someone. Here are some great ideas to make as gifts or just treat yourself!


Bubble Bath

❑ 1/4 cup liquid Castile Soap
❑ 2 drops Red food coloring
❑ 10 drops rose oil or your favorite essential oil
❑ Rose petals.
To make:
Mix the castile soap, food coloring, and rose oil. If this is a gift, pour it into a pretty bottle and attach a fresh rose. If you are using it right away, add your mixture to running bath water and sprinkle your bath with rose petals. Soak for as long as you like.


Strawberry Peppermint Foot Scrub
❑ 2 pureed strawberries
❑ 1 tablespoon of olive oil
❑ 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
❑ 2 tablespoons of granulated white sugar
❑ 4 drops peppermint essential oil
To Make:
Mix all the ingredients well and put into a pretty jar. I like to use strawberries in this recipe because they are rich in salicylic acid which helps dead skin shed more easily. Thesugar granules also help to exfoliate skin but are super gentle on delicate skin. You can keep this in the fridge for up to a week. To use your scrub, simply rub your feet gently in circular motions and rinse with warm water.


Exfoliating Lip Gloss
❑ 2 tablespoons Crisco solid vegetable shortening
❑ 1 teaspoon cherry or strawberry flavored powdered drink mix
❑ lip balm container or clean contact lens container
To Make:
Heat the Crisco in the microwave for 30 seconds or until it looks like a liquid. While it is still hot, mix in the powdered drink mix. Then, pour the mixture into the lip balm container. Let it cool for 10 minutes.
