Roller bottles for Oils

Image
I love using essential oils in place of perfume but don't like using them from the bottles they come in because it makes them hard to apply. I also like being able to mix my own oils to come up with my own signature scent. Roller bottles like the ones from 2PM  are a great way to mix your own oils and apply them easily. They come is different color choices so you can find one that fits your style. I like using a colored or frosted glass bottle because it helps keep the oil fresh longer.

Lemon Lime Whipped Shea Butter

I love making home made gifts. You can personalize them and make them unique. I like having the supplies on hand so if I need a gift fast I can whip one up. (no pun intended, well maybe a little) Last Christmas I made bath bombs and bath salts, so this year I wanted to do something different. I have never used shea butter before so I wanted to get an early start in coming up with the the perfect recipe for this years Christmas gift. Whipped Shea Butter is my favorite way to moisturize my feet. I love how soft it makes them feel, I rub some on before bed and pop on a pair of socks. It has kept my feet lovely and soft all summer. But buying it in the store is so expensive. or the quality is nothing to rave about. So I grabbed a bag of BioFinest Premium Raw Unrefined Shea Butter  whipped up my own batch of whipped shea butter.
