Making Natural Valentine Gifts...Love Your Skin

I can hardly believe it is nearly February...January seemed to just fly by for me! Valentine's Day is now just a couple of weeks away now!  I always enjoy making simple Valentines gifts and decorations...how about you?

I've been working on projects and crafting and I've been making some fun things lately that I'll be sharing with you soon...and some easy-to-make gifts, too!

This week I received my February Essential Oil Recipe Box from Simply Earth!  I always have fun opening the monthly subscription box...and this month was no exception!  

The theme is perfect for February...Love Your Skin!

I'll give you a peek at what is inside...

Frankincense, Coffee, and Fir Needle pure essential oils...Veins essential oil blend, and Rose Hydrosol.

  There is also a packet of French Green Clay.

There are labels included that you can cut out and use how you choose...

 

and of course, the wonderful recipes!

I'll share a couple of the so-easy recipes with you today!  The Rose Hydrosol bath couldn't be any easier.  Rose Hydrosol is a by-product of making Rose Essential oil and is water based.  It has a lovely, gentle rose scent.  The bath recipe consists of simply adding a cup of epsom salts and 1 T of the Rose Hydrosol right into your running bath water.  So soothing and relaxing! 

This next recipe is one of my favorites...Veins Sugar Scrub!  The Veins essential oil blend is made from a mixture of Cypress, Juniper Berry, and Lemon essential oils. It's warming, and said to help reduce the appearance of spider veins.  The sugar scrub is made by mixing 1 T fractionated Coconut oil (that is included in the Big Bonus Box you receive free with your first subscription box) with 9 drops of Veins essential oil blend for 30 seconds...

and pouring it over a cup of sugar.  Blend well.  So fluffy with a wonderful scent!

You use a small amount of the scrub, rubbing onto wet skin.  I used it on my hands...and it felt wonderful. My skin felt so smooth.

You can store the scrub in a sealable container for 3 months.

I found these great jars at the dollar store.  I love that the lids push down with a sealing rim. They are the perfect size for a batch of the scrub or bath salts.

They have a great area to place a label, too.  I cut one of the included labels to fit, but you could make your own, too.  Such a great gift!

And the little scrubbies were in a two-pack at the dollar store.
I want to make some little gift baskets!

I'm really looking forward to making the Skin Healing Body Butter, Clay and Rose Face Mask, Espresso Diffuser Blend, and Alert Roll-On, too!

If you are interested in receiving the wonderful monthly subscription recipe boxes...be sure to use code ITSYBITSFREE at checkout...you will receive a $40 gift card along with your first box, and the big bonus box!  You can use the gift card for another box or any future purchase.  It is a really cost-effective way to build your pure essential oil collection and start creating your own natural products! The recipe boxes are popular and sell out every month, so if you want one, be sure to get your order in.

Simply Earth also has a full selection of single essential oils and blends, great starter sets (like the Love Set), as well as fun accessories! Be sure to check them out!  Simply Earth always gives 13% of profits to ending human trafficking...this month to Disrupting Traffick.

I'm going to get back to making some gifts!

Until next time...
