Creating a Homegrown and Homemade Life
The holidays are right around the corner. That means it is officially time to start planning for the holiday season. I’ve rounded up a list of homemade gift ideas for everybody on your list this year. Some are perfect for under the tree and others are small enough to fit in a stocking. Start creating now, so you can relax by the yule log later!
Plastic wrap is out and this adorable DIY beeswax bowl cover is in! Reusable. Sustainable. Eco friendly. Expensive. Count me in! Grab some fabric scraps and beeswax pellets and let’s get crafting! They would make great Christmas gifts as well.
After a long day, nothing beats a hot bath. These DIY fizzing bath salts add a little extra relaxation to that soak in the tub. It’s the perfect combination between bath salts and a bubble bath. This all natural recipe will help you feel good about the soak in the tub. No toxins to worry about, just the good stuff.
Are you looking for an all natural DIY headache balm? Essential oils make it easy to create natural remedies for minor problems such as headaches. Instead of making a roller that might leak in my pocket, I prefer a solid balm. It feels a lot safer to toss a balm in my pocket than a bottle of oil.
Is the winter cold taking a toll on your hands? Cracked knuckles and scaly skin are one of the many joys of winter. Traditional lotions and creams can cause your skin to dry out even more. That causes you to use more and in turn buy more. Smart marketing strategy, but not so great for my poor hands. Give these DIY lotion bars a try. They leave your skin feeling smooth and hydrated. I’ve included recipes for both men and women.
