Fun and Natural DIY
Bath
Oil
You will need: Bottles I got mine from Arthur Holmes but you could also rummage around second hand shops and get some vintage bottles (they will need lids); Essential Oils and Base Oils (From Lotus Oils) make sure you use only essential oils as these are all natural. For my base oils I used apricot and sweet almond. These are very light all purpose oils & good for most skin types; Cardboard & ribbon for labels I chopped up an old manila folder and had ribbons lying around the house (as you do); Fancy pen - we all should have one of those! Step 1: Wash your bottles and lids and dry well. Step 2: Measure and add your base oils into clean bottles Step 3: Drop essential oils into bottles that you have just put the base oils into Step 4: Put on lid and gently mix around Step 5: Make a cool label! I decided to go oversized and gave these away as gifts. You can use any essential oil you like or experiment with a mix and make up your own signature blend and give it a funky name! I used: 20 drops ylang ylang/45 drops rose geranium/ 35 drops jasmine added to a base of 50ml apricot oil and 50ml sweet almond I called this one my Romance blend. My next mix was my Night Night blend -for those nights when sleep is more important than romance! 40 drops lavender/30 drops sandalwood/30 drops rose geranium added to the same base as above. Another of my favorites is to use plain Rose geranium 100 drops to 100ml of base oils. As a general rule add 1 drop of essential oil to 1 ml of your base oil. Just smell as you go and have fun!
