On a mission.....

Well as all of you know Mother's day is this Sunday. But so is my sister's birthday!! 
I made her something for her birthday and I can't wait to give it to her, I hope she loves it.I'd tell you what it is but I'm afraid she may just read it here and then that would spoil the surprise. 

So with it being mother's day coming up, I am making some awesome stuff for those closest to my heart. My little brother's wife is pregnant and she is ready to pop. Poor thing I know she is miserable and her feet hurt, so I am making her some Lavender foot scrub and soak. The girls are going to see her while we are out of town this weekend and they can give her a pedicure with it. 

Now for my Moms', yes I mean plural, I'm lucky enough to have 2 great mother's in my life that I love dearly. So for my other mother, I'm making her some foot soak and scrub too which she will love, the girls do her feet every time they go see her and she will be extra excited!!! I'm making her a Lime-Lavender sugar scrub, which sounds phenomenal, and I will let you know how it turns out I'm gonna make it today, just in case I need to tweak it any. And I'm making a Lavender-Mint foot soak for her too, she works in a green house every day and is very hard on her feet. 

Here are the recipe's

Lime-Lavender Sugar Scrub

2 cups granulated white sugar
1/4 - 1/3 cup almond oil (May use coconut oil)
Lavender essential oil
Lime essential oil
Vitamin E Capsule (Optional, helps keep a longer shelf life)

Directions: Put sugar in a bowl. Add oil slowly until it is a nice soft consistency, but not too oily. Add a few drops of each essential oil. Add Vitamin E capsule ( cut and pour in oil). Mix well.  Scoop into a cute jar and make sure lid is tight. Label and Enjoy!!



Soothing Foot Soak

2 cups Epsom salt
1/2 cup sea salt
1/4 cup baking soda 
4 drops Lavender essential oil
3-5 drops Peppermint essential oil (Optional)
Vitamin E Capsule ( Optional for longer shelf life and more luxurious feel)

Directions:  In a bowl mix Epsom salt, sea salt and baking soda. Stir in essential oils and vitamin e capsule, mix until all the salt is coated, let air dry. Pour into a pretty container with a tight sealing lid. Label.

Use 1/8 cup - 1/4 cup in foot bath, add while warm water is running. Enjoy!!  


Now onto my mommy. She is the hardest person to make stuff or buy stuff for.....so I'm still brainstorming on what to do for her. But whatever it is it's guaranteed to be great!! So for those of you who read my blog, any suggestions would be great. And as always thanks for reading!!!!
