Make These Luxurious Bath and Body Products at Home

Nothing is as relaxing as soaking in a tub of warm water, scented with wonderful salts or oils, after a hard day at work, or just a long week. You can make these luxurious bath and body products and home now, and customise them to suit your preferences, without spending a ton!

1.Bath Salts
Epsom bath salts help detoxify and alleviate stress and tension. Using a scent like lavender, or cedar will give a calming effect, and citrusy notes like orange or lemon will be refreshing and joyful.

Mix 3 cups of Epsom salt and 2 cups of sea salt in a large bowl and sprinkle 2 tbsp. of any essential oil to this and mix well with a whisk to remove all clumps. Add ½ cup of baking soda and mix well and store for later use.

2.Bath Milk
Milk baths are soothing and does wonders for the skin, making it soft and smooth. Mix 1 ½ cups of powdered milk and ½ cup of Epsom salts together. Add 5-8 drops of any essential oil of your choice and mix. You could add food colouring to match the essence you have used, or customise it further by adding flower petals.

3.Bath Bombs
Bath bombs make bath time fragrant, relaxing and fun. But making bath bombs is equally enjoyable as you create these little balls with essence and colour of your choice. Mix 2 cups of baking soda, 1 cup of citric acid, and 1 cup of corn and then add ½ tsp of any essential oil of your choice, 3 tsp of olive oil and mix. You could add about 5 drops of a complimenting food colour and some dried flowers if you like. Spray this mixture with water to achieve the consistency of wet sand and pack it into round molds, very tightly. Rest these for 3 days to dry out before using.

4.Body Scrub
Body scrubs are great whether you like showers or baths and not only rejuvenate your skin, but also help moisturize and heal it from all the exposure to pollution and sunlight. For a rose petal scrub, pour 1 cup of coconut oil into a mason jar and add a handful of rose petals. Add 1 ½ cups of brown sugar and 1 tbsp. of sweet almond oil and mix well. Cure this for a week before using it.

5.Body Lotion
Body lotion is a guilty pleasure for most of us, with a good bedtime routine involving massaging fragrant body lotion onto our skin for softness and moisturizing. Heat 1/8th cup of shea butter, 1/4th cup of coconut oil and 1/8th cup of cocoa butter over low heat until it melts and remove the heat. Add 1 tbsp. of aloe vera juice, 1 tbsp. liquid oil, and 5-10 drops of essential oils and stir well and store in a container.

Crafts from recycled material are fun and easy to make

Recycle! This is the new happening word, and it should be in its right. Given the amount of waste we generate every day, no soon we will be surrounded by garbage everywhere. Reuse and recycle is the keyword today. What is recycling? Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into reusable objects to prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw materials, energy usage, air pollution (from incineration) and water pollution (from landfilling) by decreasing the need for "conventional" waste disposal according to Wikipedia. There are innumerable ways in which you can recycle things which you otherwise throw away. Instead of throwing them out, reuse yogurt cups, cereal boxes, milk jugs, water bottles (and more) to make easy, affordable decorations for your home. Recycling gives you a sense of satisfaction of saving money and getting creative. Here are a few day-to-day things which we tend to throw away which ca

It is about others drooling over your richness and your mannerisms. It will all come to you because of your hard work and

Clip that Dungaree Back On!

Image
Dungarees initially started off as a men’s wear. Further when women made themselves equal against men, their fashion statement also got updates with women starting to wear dungarees. Till date, it has been a ‘must’ in every fashion -conscious woman’s wardrobe and is completely worth having. It goes on all kinds of body shapes like apple, pear, and hourglass and so on. All you must check on is the style. Some women look great with shorts styled dungaree, some with long ones and some with skirt styled dungarees.    One of the best combinations is to sport a white plane crop top and a typical light blue, ripped-jeans dungaree. Otherwise sport a shorts-styled black dungaree with a short and bright tube top that will only be visible from the sides. Dungarees are definitely back in fashion and if you haven’t bought one yet, go get it!
