Starter Kit Gift Idea #4 Bath Salts

What better gift is there to give someone than that of relaxation during the holidays? 

These bath salts are great for relaxing. You can use almost any of your kit oils to make them, too! Same recipe for all.

You can also get really creative on presentation! Put them in Christmas ornaments, mason jars, burlap satchels, beakers, etc. The possibilities are really endless!

Fill your container half way with Epsom salts. Add 2-3 drops of essential oil, cover, then shake. Fill the container up the rest of the way, add another few drops, then cover & shake again. Add some decorative ribbons, bows, labels etc.

Starter Kit Gift Idea #2 After Shave w/Melaleuca Alternifolia & Stress Away

This is a great follow-up to the Day 1 gift of shaving soap! Combine it for one gift, or give this one separately for people who use different shaving methods. This works well for men & women!

Day 2 of my Starter Kit Gift Ideas is for After Shave using Mel A & Stress Away! I am going to be posting both a salve & a liquid.

These can also be applied after waxing

Aftershave Salve 

1/8 cup organic coconut oil

1/4 cup organic raw shea butter

2 drops YL Melaleuca Alternifolia (tea tree) essential oil

2 drop  YL Stress Away essential oil blend

Add everything into a small bowl and whip with a small blender, stand mixer, or by hand. Place into a nice container and you're good to go! 

This is a rich, creamy salve that goes on smoothly and really moisturized nicely. Can be used on the face and body! A little bit goes a long way.

Liquid Aftershave

3 Tbsp witch hazel

5 Tbsp organic apple cider vinegar

2 drops YL Melaleuca Alternifolia (tea tree) essential oil

1 drop YL Stress Away essential oil blens

Combine all ingredients in a jar with a well-sealed lid. Close and shake the jar to mix thoroughly. Place the jar in a cool, dark place for a few days, making sure to shake it well once a day. It should be ready to go after 3-4 days. Shake well before use.

There are different options for use as well

• Place in a spritzer bottle and lightly spritz onto your skin after shaving. Make sure to avoid sensitive areas like lips & eyes.
• Poke small holes in the lid of your jar. Using a cotton ball, shake a small amount out and then use the cotton ball to pat your skin
• Pour a small amount in your hands. Lightly pat your hands together, then apply to face.
