Markets these days are flooded with cosmetic products and its so tuff to decide what to buy what not to buy.What if I told you , that you can make all of it from the comfort of your home at a fraction of the price? to make pure ,natural , organic and cruelty free body bath products -soaps ,balms ,salts ,scrubs. The Ultimate DIY guide with freebies.These are not just great for use, they also make excellent gifts during the holiday season. Save a dime , make a precious memory.I have listed the things you need down below. I am also linking the place you can buy it from online.This is just my preference , you can choose what you find helpful and what is available at your farmers market etc.

Bath Salts

Mix 2:1 parts epsom salt and baking soda. Add your choice of essential oils, add dried rose petals or any edible flowers which you like.Add a cup of salt to the above mix and store in an airtight container (preferably glass or steel). Plastic tends to reach with the salts over time , so not recommended.

Bath Scrub

Mix equal parts sugar and coffee grounds. Add a cup of organic coconut oil to this. There you have it your own de-tan, anti-cellulite gentle scrub. This mix is also known to prevent sun damage and give you that caffeine kick in the morning.You can also add equal parts sugar honey wild turmeric and olive oil for a de-tan and moisturizing blend of bath scrub.

Floral Soap Blends , shea butter soap base , (a)Chamomile & Green Tea (b)Calendula & Marigold (c) Rose & Coffee (d)Blue Pea & Roses

Organic Soap

Mix shea butter, soap base, coconut oil, essential oil, edible flowers and melt together on a double boiler.Pour into moulds and let it solidify for at least 12 hours. Use once completely solidified. Wrap them in some ribbons and Lacey bags to make a perfect DIY soap mix. You can also use food colouring and make like jewel coloured and textured soaps.You can wrap your soaps in lovely bows made with strings and stamp them if you like for a vintage look.

I love this soap mould, I got it on amazon for barely nothing and its super easy to clean and maintain, does a good job of perfectly making and setting soap

Lip Balm

Mix beeswax, shea butter, vitamin E and essential oil of your choice in a bowl and let it melt over a double boiler. Add food coloring or left over lipstick to add some color. Add zest of a lemon or orange. You can also add some rose extract, edible flowers, lavender buds and even coffee concoction to your own DIY lip balm. I recommend a citrus blend, a lavender blend, a rose floral blend and a vanilla coffee blend for 4 different moods of the day.

Body Butter

Whip together cocoa butter , shea butter, coconut oil , almond oil in a blender till you start seeing stiff peaks. Add in shea butter, beeswax, vitamin E, essential oils of your choice. There you have it your ready to go body butter made from pure and natural ingredients.

#homegardening🌱 #plantstagram A common compla #homegardening🌱  #plantstagram  A common complaint and question amongst new plant owners is - Why my plants are dying ? There could be a multitude of reasons - whether it be overwatering or under watering. Air,temperature, moisture,light,soil and good aeration are important for plant growth. Other issues that can lead to death could be over-fertilising , pests ,fungus and even bacterial infections. You also have to choose the right kind of soil and pot to plant , one size doesn’t fit all. For a more detailed explanation stay tuned.
Clip-on Hair streaks in ombré ice brown from @one Clip-on Hair streaks in ombré ice brown from @onehairstopindia. As much as I enjoy colouring my hair the chemical damage is just not worth it. I did color my hair back in 2019 back when life was normal and when the virus led pandemic only existed in sci-fi/horror movies. As much as I am fed up of the never ending pandemic and constant worry I thought to spice things up a bit with some hair extensions. I know we are not going anywhere but that doesn’t mean we have to have boring hair and stay whole day in pyajamas. Not that there is anything wrong with it but I just feel that looking yourself a little bit put together and also dressing up in slightly uncomfortable clothes makes us more productive by creating an illusion of somewhat of an office space. Anyway I know I digressed quite a bit , I will do a detailed post/blog with some hair styling tips and ideas. These coloured streaks are made of 100% human hair and they were coloured to give them that ombré balayage effect.According to the @onehairstopindia website these  last up to a year with proper care. You can use heat styling tools like a straightener or a curler for added umph and to create a personalised style that works for you.
Aged Stone Pot DIY , adding textures to thrifted v Aged Stone Pot DIY , adding textures to thrifted vases. 🌟🧚‍♀️ antique pottery has been the latest rave on tiktok and YouTube. I was inspired by @lonefoxhome to create some of my own. It’s really a lot of fun experimenting with textures and adding various mediums , my favourite being acrylic. I used a mix of baking soda + dirt(yes! dirt from my garden mix it with water to make mud and stick it on the vase to give it that aged effect) + acrylic paint. More detailed post and video coming soon #staytuned📺 PS. This is legit, if I find a vase this good in a store I would purchase it for sure.
