How do you make homemade body lotion?
This page contains homemade moisturizer recipes. Making your own moisturizers isn't only thrifty but is also natural. Homemade moisturizers make great gifts.
To make homemade body lotion, you need 1 bottle each:
Place ingredients into a sealable glass jar. Shake the jar vigorously until all ingredients are well combined. Decant into a glass bottle with a fine mist sprayer attached.
Melt all ingredients, and mix well while cooling. If desired, add essential or fragrance oil. I think a drop or two of Rose Geranium essential oil would be great with this.
How Do I Make an After Bath Splash Using Essential Oils?
Could someone tell me how to make an after bath splash with essential oils?

I like this because it works just as good as the fancy stuff and the ingredients are super cheap.

Does anyone have a sugar body scrub recipe?
For Mother's Day, I am making my Mom and Mother in law a homemade sugar scrub as part of their gifts. They are easy to make, economical, and much healthier than store bought scrubs. Here is the recipe:
