Homemade Mothers Day Body & Lip Scrub

Comments : 2

Mothers Day weekend is upon us and with all of this going on you may be stuck on gift ideas. Lets face it we cant really go out and buy that special lady something right now and also shipping kinda sucks right now. But not to worry I have two little ideas for you and its only going to take you about 20 mins to make and cost you about the same amount of money or maybe even less.

Since I’m a mom I’m kinda of an expert on what moms really want (not really but roll with it) and I enjoy my alone time and self care. So why not give your mom, wife, aunt, grandmother or whoever the best of both worlds???

I got my DIY hat on and got inspired to create a Lavender Body Scrub & a Honey Lip Scrub! Yup Homemade Mothers Day Body & Lip Scrub. And I got everything for about 20 bucks and I purchased everything at my local Walmart! Yup a one stop shopping trip I got you gal/guy!!

And what I love about this is that you can make this a family activity like I did.

So lets get started with the Lavender Body Scrub first shall we..

Supplies:

1 mason jar (I purchased the 8 oz wide mouth and it came in a pack of four so it worked perfectly)

 (Optional) Cute stickers mine look like this

Pens 

Mixing bowls and spoon 

Ingredients below

Ingredients:

2 cups of epsom salt 

2 tbsp of vanilla extract

1/2 olive oil (you can use coconut oil or penut oil)

(Optional) Mica colorant by creative you or red and blue food coloring to make the scrub purple 

Lavender essential oil

DIY Mothers Day Body & Lip Scrub

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl place the epsom salt and add the olive oil, make sure you mix it well 

2. Add the vanilla and add about 15-20 drops of the lavender essential oil, mix well

3. Add the colorant or food coloring and you guessed it mix well again

4. Carefully pour your scrub into your mason jar and thats it!

I added a ribbon and the sticker to lid and had the kids sign their name and their you have it your homemade lavender body scrub (high five)

Honey Vanilla Lip Scrub

So the supplies are the same as above

Ingredients:

2 cups of sugar 

Honey

12-15 white chocolate chips (they need to be in powder form you can uses a grinder but if you don’t have one you can just cut them into very fine pieces which is what I did)

Avocado oil

Sweet orange essential oil (or any citrus essential oil you prefer) this will improve blood flow and circulation for rosy lips. Also make sure it is safe for consumption since it will be used on your lips.

3. Add 1/2 tsp of honey (kamilah went kinda crazy with the honey so im sure she added more than that) since the honey is thick you want to make sure you thoroughly mix it.

4. Lastly add 15-20 drops of the sweet orange essential oil and mix one last time

I hope you enjoyed reading my Homemade Mothers Day Body & Lip Scrub and hopefully you decide to try it out it doesn’t need to be a gift you can just make it for yourself. Hello SELF CARE! Im definitely debating whether I should make more or just keep them to myself (shrugs) JK they were made specifically for my mom and mother in law. But I’ll be making some for myself really soon.

Thank you again for stopping by and if your a mama I just want to wish you early happy mothers day! I hope your weekend is full of love and laughter. You’re amazing and you deserve the world!

See you next time

Hey girl hey 👋🏼 Happy Monday!! I’ve notice Hey girl hey 👋🏼 Happy Monday!! I’ve noticed a few new faces so I think it’s more than appropriate to reintroduce myself  and give y’all some fun little facts about me 😊 (side-note I don’t think I ever really introduce myself 😂 so maybe this is a first)

1. My name is Miriam, I’m 29 years old and I’m 4’11

2. I was born in Mexico City and came to the USA when I was 8 years old. I learned English by watching tv and also reading those book they used to sell on tv back in the day🤣

3. I collect mugs, books, notebooks and pens 

4. I went to college and I completed the billing and coding specialist program but have not gotten certified 😣 working on that this year, because your girl paid out of pocket and we can’t let that go to waste.

5. I love thrifting, when we first moved here that’s where my parents got majority of what we had. I picked up on this hobby 2 years ago and I haven’t looked back since.

6. I’ve watched @greysabc more than 20 times 😳

7. I am super quiet but when I am comfortable the real me comes out. The Miriam my friends see is not the Miriam everyone else sees 😂 I’ll have y’all shookth 

8. I am late all the time, it’s a super bad habit of mine.

9. I had my oldest when I was 16. 

10. I am super emotional like I will cry if I see you cry and I won’t be able to stop either 🤣

So welcome if you’re new 💕 if you like fashion, faith, kids, books, pictures of me with eyes closed (it happens a lot) and just random fun shenanigans then you’re in the right place 

Now it’s your turn tell me something about yourself..
Alexa play ✨Good Days✨ by @sza Hope you all Alexa play ✨Good Days✨ by @sza 

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend. It’s chilly and it’s supposed to rain here in Dallas so I’m staying for the most part. I will have to run a few errands at some point to get a few things that I’ll need for @julibaxter bridal shower 🙌🏼 can’t wait for y’all to see all the shenanigans and y’all what I’m wearing is 🔥I’ll be giving y’all modern day bridgerton vibes 😉

Do you have any plans?
You like my outfit gee thanks it’s ✨thrifted✨

No, but it really is minus the hat and boots. I challenged myself to find a complete outfit and I gave myself a budget 😳 what a budget?!? Y’all know I’m usually a big baller when I thrift lol but I gave myself a $20-$25 max budget. And I got this blazer, top, jeans and purse for.....$20 🙌🏼 and love how it all just flows so effortlessly. I might be challenging myself more often.

Do you go thrift shopping?
So I don’t regularly post pictures of food becau So I don’t regularly post pictures of food because well I don’t think I can capture the essence of food like others 😂 but I thought my chicken noodle soup was very fitting for today’s little message.

Y’all it’s a mess over here in Texas! People have gone with our power, without water, and in some cases without food for a couple of days and it’s truly heartbreaking. My family and I have been okay our lights and water weren’t effected and I’m so grateful but in the same breath I felt guilty. So many people are really struggling like if the virus wasn’t enough as it is. Ive been praying so much and just really dedicating time to check on family and friends. I have also donated what I could. In the midst of it all I have found a sense of peace. God has a funny way of delivering certain messages and He’s been talking. This time has allowed me to really see things in a different perspective and to really appreciate everything. I know it’s hard to see the good in between all the bad but there’s always a little silver lining. 

I hope all of my Texas people are safe and warm. I’m praying for you all and if you need to talk please DM me. 

Also if you have been sharing, donating and or opening your homes up to other people thank you! You are amazing and I am so glad that we still have people who care.
I’m a queen, I’m a dream because I’m me You I’m a queen, I’m a dream because I’m me
