DIY Christmas beauty gifts

As 1st Advent is coming closer and I am having this Christmas spirit already, then first of my posts I would love to write about Christmas beauty gifts you can make YOURSELF! Easy, beautiful, unique and healthy- what can be better! So let's begin!

1. BODY SCRUB

You will need: 3 little jars
                        120g Coconut oil
                        240g Sugar
       (optional) Essential oils- I used cinnamon oil (Christmasy and yummy)
                        Pigments or colors        

Melt coconut oil (pour hot water in a bowl, and put a small pot with coconut oil in it to melt it). Add sugar and mix it all together. Add pigment or essential oil (just a few drops), Mix it in and pour mixture into jars. Glue some tag on saying: Body scrub (mine is in latvian), decorate with ribbons and colorful paper. Here you go!

2. LIP BALM

 You will need: small pots/tins (metalic or plastic) 
                         8 tbsp Coconut oil
                         3 tbsp beewax (yellow or white)
                         1,5 tbsp honey
        (optional) Essential oils and coloring (i used food coloring for few, can use lipstick)

Put oil, wax and honey boiling in double pots (full with water underneath and pot with mixture above). On VERY small fire, slowly until mixture is melted.
Take off the oven and add some essential oils or coloring until mixture starts to thicken.
Pour the mixture into small pots, put on the covers and let it thicken completely.
As the last touch, i glued pots on small tags and wrote on: Lip balm and ingredients that the lip balm is made of. Small but pretty gift for your friends :)

3. HOMEMADE SOAP

You will need: Soap mass ( I used with shea butter- so it would     be softening for hands and more luxurious) 

   Everything you want to put as a decor (I used dried 

rose buds and coffee beans)

                             Cupcake or icecube forms

           (optional) Essential oils and coloring 

Again start out with melting and double pot trick (water underneath and soap above). I Had 500g soap mass for 9 soaps and i still had leftover. Wait until soap melts completely, add essential oils and coloring. In cupcake forms put in dried flowers and coffee beans and finally pour in the soap liquid. Put it in the fridge for few hours to freeze. 

Take out from fridge and decorate and wrap into transparent paper, add some tags so your friend/ relative/ partner know the ingredients!
