Berry Blue Cotton Candy Sugar Scrub

How to make Berry Blue Cotton Candy Scrub!
You can create so many scrumptiously scented Sugar Scrub DIY style right in your home kitchen. DIY Beauty and Skin Care Treatments are easy to make and are more affordable that purchasing, especially when you just want to 'try out' a new scent. I personally love the scent of Cotton Candy so I thought I'd try out a new sugar scrub cleanser recipe and then share the tutorial!
I realize this recipe isn't green or all natural, yet it is still a fun DIY beauty recipe to try out during Spring Break....throw it in the travel bag:)

Summer is calling....cotton candy here!

Supplies:

1 Cup Sugar

Vanilla Essential Oil

or Vanilla Extract
1/2 cup Carrier Oil
    -Coconut, Almond Oil, Olive, Apricot, Grapeseed, Safflower, Avocado etc.

Storage Container

   -Glass, I used a Mason Jar

1 Packet Cotton Candy Frosting Mix-in

Large Bowl

Mix 1 Cup, 4 drops Essential Oils scent/extract, 1/3-1/2 Oil. The larger container, amount you need increases and double up recipe to fit your project size and container(s) you're using.

Step 1:

Mix 1 Cup Sugar and 1/2 cup Oil, play with ratios until you get the consistency you want. I prefer not to have excess oil.

Step 2:

Add the packet of Cotton Candy frosting mix-in and combine. This adds color and scent.

Step 3:

Store inside of a GLASS container, do not use plastic. Mason jars are excellent for this purpose. Decorate with Washi Tape and a gift tag if giving to someone:)

No Ouch! DIY Hair Detangler Spray

How to make your own No Ouch! No Tears DIY Hair Detangler Spray recipe right at home.
Make this fast, quick, and easy DIY formula with only 3 ingredients. You may even have them already at home, so no need to go to the store. The ingredients used to create this recipe can either be an everyday product ingredient- all the way to a specialty organic, all natural ingredient. Either will work fine with this tutorial, you can even add essential oils to give it an extra pop of nutrition.

I was looking for a natural alternative for a Hair Detangler Spray for my eldest daughter's long long, long hair. For those of you who have seen her {on Instagram or YouTube} then know that it's fairly long for a girl of her age. Although my daughter doesn't cry when we brush her hair, I still like the hair to cooperative instead of it turning into a chore multiple times a day.
