Making Jewelry

8/31/2014

Since I was young I have loved creating stuff. Whether it be jewelry, cookies, painting, etc. it has been something that feeds my soul. In high school we were blessed to have a college credit art class offered, every week or two we were learning something new. One of my favorites was casting jewelry! To be able to create a ring out of wax and then melt the silver to fill the mold, to sanding it and polishing it, the whole process still makes me happy just thinking about it. I wish I had the chance to do it all over again. Maybe one day I will have the chance. But until then, I will just make jewelry the only way I can and that's with beads, wire, leather, and heart. Here are some of my latest creations. It feels so good to get back into creating pretty things :).

DIY Sugar Lip Scrub

4/27/2014

2 Comments

 
Getting ready for a DIY Mother's Day Spa Gift Giving this year. One of the things I am making is a Lip Sugar Scrub. In this recipe I am using 4 1/4 cup Brown Sugar, 1/3 cup White Sugar, 3 tbsp Coconut Oil, 3 tbsp Honey, 6 drops Peppermint Essential Oil, and 9 drops Citrus Essential Oil. Stir everything to combine, let it sit for a little while before putting them into small jars. There might be a little separation, so before putting in jars, stir again.

I have already used a little bit to test it out and it works really good.

To make a spa style gift here are some suggestions of what to include:
  • Lavender Bath Fizzies
  • Peppermint Lip Scrub
  • Lip Balms
  • Herb Soaps
  • Whipped Body Butter
  • CD with Relaxing Music
  • Chocolate Treats (because what woman doesn't like chocolate) :)
All of these are pretty simple to make. I would suggest having a girl party, buying everything in bulk (split the cost with your friends) and make these together. You'll have fun making these with friends and coming up with new Spa Gifts together.
