sheet of waxed paper for about 2 to 3 hours, then place each ball into a

water.

(in 4 layers ~ makes 16oz.)
2 Cups Rock Salt
1/2 Teaspoon of Each Fragrance Oil
Rose, Sage, Lavender, Rosemary
Food Color
Divide salt into four equal amounts, place each in a container with sealable
lids. That’s 1/2 cup in each container or for 8 ounces of bath salts use 1/4
cup in each container and half the amount of fragrance oil and food color.
Add 1/2 teaspoon Rose fragrance oil and 4 Drops of red food color (or you
can leave it white), put lid on and shake well. To the next one add 1/2
teaspoon Chamomile-Sage (or just sage if you have it) and 4 drops of green and 2 drops of blue food color and shake. To the third add 1/2 teaspoon Lavender fragrance oil, 3 drops of red and 4
drops of blue food color and shake well. To the last container add 1/2
teaspoon Rosemary fragrance oil, 4-8 drops of green food color and shake.
On separate pieces of wax paper, spread out each color and air dry for
several hours. When the salt is completely dry layer it in the container.
Rosemary ~ Lavender ~ Sage ~ Rose (on top) To speed up the drying process you can put the wax paper on a cookie sheet and put it in the oven and let the pilot light work on it or for an electric
oven, pre-heat at lowest temperature and turn off before putting salt in the
oven. You have just made lovely layered bath salts that also has special meaning.

Will turn brown. Add 3/4 tsp of Oatmeal, Milk & Honey Fragrance. Mix in
oatmeal. Pour evenly into two of the springform pans.

Melt 1 lb of white base. Add a few drops (only) of yellow colorant. Add
1-3/4 tsp of OM&H Fragrance, 1 tsp of blending vanilla (will add amber glow)

1/2 cup water
10 drops citronella essential oil
5 drops eucalyptus essential oil
1 T. dried, crushed pennyroyal leaves

Mix the ingredients into the melted soap/water mixture. With an electric
mixer, whip the soap until it has doubled in volume. Spoon the soap into the
prepared molds, pushing it into the molds as best you can (the beating
action cools the mix, so work quickly). If the mixture has cooled off and
thickened so much you can’t put it into the molds, hand mold the soap into
large balls.

24. Citrus Yum

You will need:
½ lb. Transparent MP base
½ TB. Coconut oil
3 drops lemon oil
3 drops grapefruit oil
3 drops orange oil
fruit wedges mold
orange/yellow colorant

Melt the MP base and cocon ut oil. Remove from heat and whisk well. Add
essential oils and whisk well. Add a few drops of yellow/orange dye. I mixed
red and yellow food coloring. Pour into molds. When I want to do each the
“correct” color and flavoring for each fruit wedge, I use plastic leftover yogurt

cups, pour my base into it (after heated) then do the color mixing and flavoring.

1 tbs. dried lavender
1 tsp. witch hazel
1 tsp. almond oil

This shampoo is known to be effective in removing impurities such as smog
and city grime from the hair. In a heavy saucepan, bring the water to a
boil and add the dried thyme, peppermint and lavender. Remove the pan from
the heat and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain the herbs from the water and
pour the herbally infused water into a ceramic bowl. Add the shampoo
concentrate and stir until well mixed. Add the salt, witch hazel, almond
oil, cinnamon oil and ylang-ylang oil to the mixture, stirring until thick.
Bottle and close.

26. Cookie Cutter Soaps

Melt and Pour soap base(opaque)
Scent (optional)
Color (must be liquid, like gels)
cookie sheet (must have at least a 1/2 in. edge on it)
knife (to swirl your colors!)
cookie cutters

Melt down the soap base and scent. You can give the main base a color if you
wish or leave it white. Pour the base on the cookie sheet and add colors and
swirl them all over – be creative! When this dries, pop the block of soap
out of the cookie sheet. Use cookie cutters to cut up the soap.
There are lots of different things you can do with this… Some ideas:

Christmas Soap: Swirl red & green into white and use cookie cutters
Candy Cane Soap: Swirl red into white with peppermint scent and candy cane
cutters
Easter/Spring: Swirl multiple pastels and find some fun cookie cutters
4th of July: Patriotic white soap with a beautiful red & blue swirl (find a
nice star cutter!

27. Cold Cream Soap

4 oz M&P soap
2 tsp cold cream
10 drops fragrance oil

2 oz. distilled water
7 drops bergamot oil
5 drops lime oil

2 drops gardenia fragrance oil

Mix all together and pour into a container.

29. Creamy Rosemary

You will need:
One Pound Soap Base (any variety)
One Cup of Whole Milk
1/2 Teaspoon Rosemary pure Essential Oil (see EO caution below)
One-foot length of PVC pipe with one end cap or other tube
This is a wonderfully creamy soap to wake up to in the morning! And everyone
LOVES the scent of pure Rosemary! Men even go nuts for it! Make sure you
spray your mold with a vegetable spray. Pour all of the soap mixture into
the mold. After a couple of hours, push it out of the mold and slice the
soap into round soaps!

***Rosemary EO is not recommended for individuals with high blood pressure
or epilepsy.

30. Chocolate Cookie Soap

You will need:
1 lb. Opaque MP
1 TB. Cocoa butter
Cocoa powder for colorant (or brown dye)
1 TB. Chocolate FO
Round or cookie molds

Melt the MP soap. Remove from heat and slowly stir in the cocoa butter and
enough cocoa powder to make it a pale brown or tan. Add fragrance oil.
Reserve enough of the soap to make a darker brown color. Pour the lighter
shade of brown soap into round/cookie molds. Add more cocoa powder to the
reserved batch of MP base to make a darker brown. Marble into the pale brown
soap.

31. Cinnamon Soap

You will need:
4 oz. MP base
10 drops cinnamon oil
1 drop red food coloring (optional)

Melt MP base. Remove from heat and stir in the cinnamon oil and coloring
until well mixed. Pour the soap into a mold and let set for three hours.

32. Citrus & Calendula Soap

You will need:
1 # M & P transparent soap base
A handful of calendula petals (dried) , about 1/4 cup
15 drops of yellow food coloring
3/4 tsp. grapefruit EO
1/2 tsp. tangerine EO
1 TBSP melted shea butter ..melted separately

Melt the soap base and at the same time melt the shea butter in a custard
cup placed in a pan of boiling water or in the microwave. Add calendula
petals to the melted base, a few drops of yellow food coloring, the EO and
then the melted shea butter. Try to have this the same temp as the melt and
pour. Keep stirring the soap/shea butter mixture. As it starts to set up
spoon into heart molds. ( By spooning you have more control how many of the
calendula leaves go into each mold.) I like to let my molds set at room temp
until them are skimmed over fairly firm then I chill them in the freezer for
about a half hour before removing them from the mold and place them on a
rack to finish drying completely.

This is a very pretty soap. Makes 8 heart soaps. Enjoy!!!!

*****By stirring the soap/shea butter mixture as it cools the butter will
not float to the top and make little circles of butter which might look like
mold to those that don’t know.

33. COFFEE & CREAM SOAP

1 4oz. bar glycerin soap
1 teaspoon ground espresso
1 teaspoon powdered milk
10 drops coffee fragrance oil

of MP base. Remove from heat and stir in the whipping cream and the vanilla
fragrance oil. Pour the melted soap into the molds on top of the orange
soap. Let it set for three hours. Your finished bars should come out half
orange and half white. Enough for 2 bars.

2 tsp. powdered loofah
15 drops cucumber fragrance oil
1 T. Aloe Vera gel

37. Custom – Scented Bath Crystals

Rock salt or sea salt (you can also use water softener salt for this; it is
much cheaper than sea salt)
Essential oils
1/2 quart glass or clear plastic jar with tight-fitting lid

Add approximately 4 teaspoons of the essential oil to the rock salt in a 1/2
quart container. If container is larger or smaller, add or subtract oil as

Sunflower oil
Essential oil or potpourri refresher oil in your choice of scent(s)
Corked container
Crystal beads, dried flowers, little seashells, etc. (optional – for bottle
decoration)

Pour sunflower oil through a funnel into the corked container, leaving a
little space at the top, at least an inch. Add 4 teaspoons of the essential
oil per 1/2 quart. Cork the container and agitate the bottle gently. Let
it sit for 2 to 3 days before using. You may add things to the container to
make it as pleasing to the eye as it is to the nose… whatever you want or
will match the decor of your bathroom.

bath salts if you so desire by adding 10 drops of food coloring to the bowl
after you add the essential oils. Stir again. Store bath salts in a
tightly capped container for 2 to 3 days before using. You can also divide
the bath salts equally between 2 large bowls, tint them different colors,
and then carefully pour them into a clear container, making what appears to
be “sand art”. Or tint one red, and scent both containers with peppermint
oil, then layer it in a clear container and wrap with red ribbon. This
“peppermint stick” makes a great Christmas gift!

41. Custom – Scented Bubble Bath #1

5 drops fragrant oil or essential oil (your choice of scent)

heat, stirring occasionally until the soap has dissolved. (This liquid soap
can be stored in a covered container and used as an all-purpose soap or hand
soap in the kitchen also.) In a bowl, add 2 cups of this mixture to the

oil. Put into a quart container and store covered at room temperature. To

45. Deep Conditioner for Beautiful Hair

1 small jar of real mayonnaise
1/2 of an avocado

Put ingredients together in a medium bowl and squish together with your
hands until it’s a minty green color. Smooth into hair all the way to the
tips. Put on a shower cap or wrap your head with saran wrap. Leave on for
20 minutes. For deeper conditioning put a hot, damp towel around your head
over the shower cap or saran wrap. If you have really long hair and only
need conditioning at the ends, cut the ingredients in half and apply only to
the ends and just wrap them.

4 drops red food coloring
4 drops musk oil
3 drops Jasmine fragrant or essential oil
3 cups epsom salts

Combine baking soda, epsom salt and glycerin until well blended. Add scents
until there are no clumps, just a fine powder. Divide the mixture evenly
into 3 separate bowls. In the first bowl add 3 drops yellow food coloring,
in the second bowl add 3 drops red food coloring, and in the third bowl add
2 drops yellow food coloring and 1 drop red food coloring. Stir each bowl
until the color is well mixed. Allow the air to dry it for a few hours
before placing in a bottle. Once dried, layer the colors… red first, then
orange, then lastly yellow.

47. Detox Bath

Place in warm tub of water:

Epsom salts–2 handfuls
Organic sea salt–1 handful
Sweet Almond Oil–2 teaspoons
Rosemary–4 drops
Violet Leaf–4 drops

48. Dry Shampoo

1/2 cup cornstarch
Fragrance oil (optional)

Sprinkle cornstarch into your hair and massage into hair and scalp. Allow
it to absorb for a few minutes, then brush through hair. Repeat if
necessary. This is wonderful to freshen-up your hair in a pinch between
shampoos… or great to take on camping trips when fresh water is
unavailable for using a liquid shampoo. You can also add a couple drops of
fragrance oil to the cornstarch for a nice scented dry shampoo.

49. EARTH ANGEL BATH CRYSTALS

You will need:
1/2 cup epsom salts
3/4 cup baking soda
1/2 cup sea salt
2 tsp. almond oil
20 drop patchouli oil
15 drops cypress oil
5 drops rose oil
green food coloring ( one or two drops)

Mix it all together very well.

Sometimes it helps to add wet together separately in another bowl before
adding to baking soda and salts.
You will need to use a few heaping tablespoons to your tub to use

50. Earth Bath Salts

1/2 cup epsom salts
1 cup baking soda
1/2 cup rock salt
1/2 tsp. vitamin E
2 tsp. light oil (almond, sunflower, etc…)
20 drops Patchouli essential oil
15 drops Cypress essential oil
5 drops Vetivert essential oil
Green food coloring

Mix all salts and baking soda together. Then combine oil, essential oils,
vitamin E and a few drops of coloring in a separate bowl. Add liquid to
salts and mix thoroughly. You can add more green food coloring, if desired,
but I find it nicer when it’s a very light green as it does not look as
artificial. To use, add a few heaping tablespoons to bath.

502. VINEGAR RINSE

1/4 C. apple cider vinegar
1 basin warm water

This restores the natural pH balance or acid mantle to your skin.
Pour vinegar into warm water. Splash your face thoroughly. Let dry without
using a towel. Acne sufferers should try this also, but be sure to start
with a perfectly clean face.

2 cups distilled water
3 tbs. vodka
5 drops sandalwood essential oil
10 drops bergamot essential oil
10 drops cassis essential oil

settle for at least 12 hours. Store in a cool dry place.

3/4 C. witch hazel
1/4 C. rubbing alcohol

Mix the ingredients and store in a tightly capped, sterilized glass bottle.
To use, moisten a clean cotton ball and clean your face with this solution
after washing and before applying moisturizer. Your skin should feel tingly
while using this clarifier.
