Holiday Gifts

One of my great joys is creating yummy bath treats!

So... this year a friend and I got together and created a few special treats for our sweet friends. I have a large supplies of all things bathy-crafty so this was another low-cost gift solution. Dawn picked up some salt and jars, the rest I already had on hand.

What we made:

Bath salts. I have dubbed them 'Salty Seaweed Solstice Soak'. A little frankinscence and myhrr, birch, cypress and orange gave this scent a very holliday feel. We added dolce seaweed for added minerals in the bath.

As I was low on jars, I used mini zip locks then wrapped them in parchment paper and use a fancy golden sun seal to make them seem all the more decadent.
Next was a salt scrub... great for winter dry skin!

Salt, almond oil, olive oil then a refreshing blend of rosemary, lavender, pepermint and grapefruit essential oils. I call this one 'Morning Dawn Salt Scrub'.

Next I plan on making some lavender salve and maybe someother salves as well. These are a little time-intensive, but are some of my favorite things to make.

But first I have to finish the kids Christmas gifts!! Don't worry I will post those as well. ;)
