Ingredients: 


  • • 1 Cup epsom salt
  • • 1 tbsp. baking soda
  • • 3 drops scented essential oil

  • - ( I used treat bags that you use for goodie bags at birthday parties) 
  • • optional: 1 – 2 drops of  food coloring  {to slightly tint the bath salts}
  • • ribbon or twine 
  • - I used twist ties 
Directions: 

  • • Mix together epsom salt, baking soda, essential oil drops, and optional food coloring.  Stir well.
  • • Transfer to jar, and tie a bow with a pretty ribbon or some twine.

  • [*] add approx. 1/2 cup of bath salts to your bath.  Relax and ENJOY!!





coconut rose sugar scrub 

- again ; I didn't get to take step by step pictures; but here is the container, label & a picture of the finished scrub! 

Ingredients : 

• 2 cups of sugar
• 1 cup coconut oil 
• 1/4 tsp essential oil 
• mason jar / container

* sticker letters to decorate * in the picture above the stickers spell out his teachers name; for my friends I just added the first letter of their name to the top of the container :) 

Directions: 

• in a medium bowl mix the sugar and coconut oil ; the oil is solid because it's at room temperature so it make take a few minutes to mix completely. 
• add essential oil & mix well
• scoop into containers


DIY sharpie mug 

What you'll need:

• white ceramic mug
• oil based sharpie 

Directions : 

• hand wash the mug and let dry
• wipe the mug clean with an alcohol wipe 
• write your quote or name on the mug
- nail polish remover should take away any unwanted access markings 

• let the mug dry 24 hours before baking it . 
• put the mug in the oven and set it to 425 degrees (yes put it into a cold oven)
• once the oven reaches 425 set the timer for 30 minutes.
• after 30 minutes turn the oven off but LET THE MUG COOL INSIDE .
