Bread In a Jar

I had a shower and did not know what to give so I decided to look for a jar gift. This gift is very similar to Cookie In A Jar. Visit Short and Sweets for tutorial on how to make yours .

Sugar Scrubs

 

Got Pic from here 

Couple days ago, I was watching Shark Tanks and I saw Simple Sugars which  inspired this post. If she started making these products at age 11, I am pretty sure I can. Her prices are reasonable compared to FRESH but, why do I have to spend all that money when I have everything in my kitchen. Plus, I know what’s really put in.

Lemon Sugar Scrubs

·         2 Cups of Granulated Sugar

·         4 drops of Lemon Essential Oil

·         ** ¼ cup of preferred Carrier oil 

**I used 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, 2 tablespoons of almond oil, and 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil) Feel free to mix your oils. Apricot oil is pretty good but, I don’t have any at hand

Get a bowl, add your sugar, and slowly add carrier oil and blend until you get your desired consistency. Lastly add 3-4 drops of Essential Oil.

Get a cute jar, pour in contents, add labels and that’s it. You've made your own scrub! I usually leave mine refrigerated. 

Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub

·         2 Cups of Brown Sugar

·         ¼ cups of Granulated Sugar

·         1 tablespoon of Pumpkin Spice

·         ½  teaspoon of cinnamon (optional)

·         ¼  teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)

·         ¼ Cups of preferred carrier oil. 

You can make your own pumpkin spice using the following ingredients

·         3 tablespoons of ground cinnamon

·         1 tablespoon of Ginger

·         1.5 teaspoons of allspice

·         1.5 teaspoons of cloves

·         ¾ teaspoon of nutmeg (optional)

Mix all ingredients together and you have your homemade Pumpkin Spice. You turn this into a gift of its own by putting them in a pretty jar, add some labels, and bows and gift to friends/family.

Back to the Pumpkin Spice Scrub, get your bowl, add your sugars, and slowly add carrier oil and blend until you get your desired consistency. I added 2 drops of cinnamon essential oil to mine.

Wintergreen Sugar Body Scrubs

·         2 Cups of Granulated Sugar

·         3-5 drops of  Wintergreen Essential Oil

·         1/3 preferred Carrier Oil ( I will be using just olive oil for this one) 

Follow the same direction as above.

I hope you have as much as I did while making mine.  Keep in mind that you can add food coloring to get a particular color or used non-artificial substitute.

Orange – Carrots

Red/Pink – Beets Juice

Yellow- turmeric powder

Purple- Red Cabbage

Green- Kale or Spinach juice. 

Lemon Extract

Hi everyone, today I finally bottled my lemon extra. I left it on top of my the fridge cabinet and totally forgot about it until today .  Homemade gifts always make great Christmas gift and are usually inexpensive. I made lime, lemon, cinnamon, and orange but I ran out of bottles 

What to do:

Add lemon peels to sterilized jar, pour in the vodka, stir a little to mix, and seal jar.  Store jar in a dark place for at least 2 weeks. After two weeks sieve into your desired bottles. That's all!!! How simple!
