DIY Solid Perfume

As I am sure you have noticed, I prefer to make small batches of the different things I make.

It is just my husband and I an although it is easy to store everything, I prefer to keep things fresh
(6 months or less from the date I made it) Trust me I go though it all a lot faster than that.

So when I was thinking about this post I thought of doing it a few different ways, in the end I decided to stay with my small batch theme :)

Again so simple, so easy, so fun and inexpensive :)

You will need
Beeswax
Carrier Oil (I used Sweet Almond, it is great for skin, and the scent is great with the oil I used)
Essential Oil


You will need 1 teaspoons of Beeswax
Melt it (I used a small container and did it in the microwave)
add 1 teaspoon of your Carrier Oil
Mix well
Add your Essential Oil - I used 4 drops of Peace and Calming

Pour into your locket (I bought this one at Michaels - Love their coupons)
Let cool (takes about 10 minutes)

Love this stuff!!!!!!!!
The smell is fantastic and when I want a bit more of a boost from it, I just rub a bit on my finger and then rub it on to my wrists, behind my ear, and neck :)

I like making a small batch for personal use, this would make great gifts, and be fun to have a few different to pull out and use as want to easily while looking fantastic - If you do make more than one scent, store them in different zip lock bags.

You could also skip the locket and just make a small container of it.
Either way, Enjoy! :)

Spa Bath Salts

Find a container you want to store your Spa Bath Salts in

I went to a fantastic ceramic shop and made 3 :)   More like glazed and had them fired :)
Each one is a different shape, but about the same size and BONUS the lid holds a candle

For Every Cup of Epson Salt Soaking Solution use around 3 drops of your Favorite Essential Oil
If you can't find Soaking Solution mix 3 parts Epson Salts to 1 Part Baking Soda

My 3 Containers Contain :)

Peace and Calming or Lavender
    When I need to rest relax and find some inner peace :)

Peppermint and PanAm (2 drops of each per cup)
     When my head is just killing me, my husband uses it for his sore muscles

Citrus Fresh
     When I need to feel re-energized :)

Oils to Help my Dog's Paws

I have a beautiful Pembroke Welsh Corgi - She is by far the princess of the house, we are just her people to do and she desires, and we have excepted that role :) 

For as long as we have had her (5 years) She has had this issue of licking her front paws, it drives me nuts.

I did some research to see what we could do to help her

I originally tried this with just the lavender oil and it really did not help,
once I added the Peace and Calming it worked like a charm!!
I have had to reapply about twice a day - But SO Worth it :)
