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

Put ingredients together in a medium bowl and squish together with your

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

Earth Angel Bath Crystals

2008-09-22T17:19:00.000-07:00

You will need:
1/2 cup epsom salts

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.

Custom - Scented Bath Salts

2008-09-22T17:14:00.000-07:00

1 cup epsom salt
1 cup sea salt
2 cups baking soda
Essential oil(s)
10 drops food coloring (optional)

Combine the first 3 ingredients in a large bowl, then add 4 teaspoons of essential oil in any fragrance or combination. Stir. You may also tint the 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!

Bridal Bath Salts

2008-04-26T19:30:00.000-07:00

(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.
