ROSEHIP HEBISCIOUS TEA BATH SALTS

Rosehip Tea not only smells REALLLLLY good but also has many health benefits which include a great cancer preventing antioxidant called phenolic acid which protects the liver and helps prevent cancer in cells. It is also an anti-inflammatory and is great if you have arthritis. Although I can not recommend digesting these bath salts or drinking your bath water these product will give your bath a very pleasant floral smell. Epson salts are great for soothing sore aching muscles so i know this products is going to be a good way for my friends to finish off a hard day of work. ♥

VALENTINES DAY HOMEMADE BEAUTY PRODUCT GIFT SET

I made this beauty product as part of my homemade Valentines Day gift set. As a girl and maybe a bit of a romantic I always felt a little FOMO (fear of missing out) when it came to Valentines Day. A couple years ago and probably as I was devouring an entire box of heart shaped chocolates,  single me decided to start a little tradition of giving homemade (and inexpensive) beauty products to my friends as a way of showing my love. Who said Valentines Day can only be shared between couples? its not an exclusive club and I want in!!! Every year I change the products and this year I decided to share them with you. I'm going to be listing the products below along with creating separate posts for each recipe so you can make them too. These products are also a great idea if you are looking for gifts to give away to people who are attending baby showers and bridal showers as a thank you.

This year the products were:

Rosehip Hibiscus Tea Bath Salts - smells so good and is great to sooth sore muscles

Rose Petal Sugar Scrub - exfolates your dry skin leaving it soft, smooth and full of moisture

Organic Coffee and Activated Charcoal Face Mask and Exfoliant - purifies and cleans pours pulling toxins out of the skin and leaving the skin feeling hydrated, smooth and fresh.

BROWN SUGAR BODY SCRUB

One snowy winter day my darling friend Lili and I decided we were going to make some give away gifts for girlfriends. Valentines day was coming up and we thought a brown sugar body scrub would be perfect!! Who wouldn't love that, right!? The whole thing cost us about $100 each (including jars) and made for a fun activity to do inside on yet another crazy snow day.

If you are interested in trying to make the scrub yourself here is the recipe we used....

Ingredients:
Brown Sugar*
Vanilla sticks (one stick does two jars)
Coconut Oil (1/2 a cup per jar)
Shea Butter (one cup per jar)

*you will need to fill your jar about 3/4 the way full so keep that in mind and multiply by the # of jars you want to make
 

Directions:
Fill your jar about 3/4 the way full with brown sugar.
On a stove at low heat melt the Shea Butter, once it is a liquid add the coconut oil, stir and remove from heat. Let it cool slightly before adding it to the jar and stirring it in.
Slice a vanilla stick in half and remove the vanilla paste with a knife from the inside. Add the paste to the jar and stir. You can also cut the vanilla stick you scrapped in quarters and add it to the scrub for extra scent if you like. 

That's it!!! So easy right!?
