Summer gifts!

Over the last 9 months I have been surrounded by some of the smartest, kindest, and most helpful people you could ever dream of. I wanted to put some things together just so people knew how much I appreciate them! I looked on Pinterest and found some good gifts! 

 

This lip balm was just vasoline and koolaid! It was so easy. I bought the little jars, cocoa butter vasoline, and koolaid at the dollar tree! 

Remove vasoline and put it in a bowl, add dry koolaid mix

Once you are done mixing, place it in the containers and you're all done! I placed " lip balm with love" on them.

Next I made body scrub! It was so easy!! It smelled amazing and I gave it a test run, my legs feel like a million bucks! 

I used this recipe and doubled it

I added pink food coloring and this black cherry oil I got at the dollar store! 

I packaged them in mason jars. I think they look really sweet ( I actually stole the jar idea from a friend)!

I labeled all the scrubs with "scrub with love" 

 

I bought these adorable boxes at the dollar tree too, I also bought some shredded paper to put in the boxes with loofas, and wine.

Inside the box! A nice little treat to get the party started! I did the math and each box cost me $3.83...with the wine and everything! I think it was a GREAT deal!

My finished boxes! I put wine on top! I hope everyone loves them. Because I couldn't afford to give these to everyone I also did some cookie gifts and some scrub jars.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Tuesday!! 

Homemade apothecary!

I'm obsessed with everything pottery barn. One day I hope to own everything in their stores! One of my favorite things is their apothecary jars. They typically sell between 40-70 dollars. I just can't ever spend that sort of money on a jar!

Gorgeous as the are! I think they throw a whole room together and you can put anything in them. They work in kitchens, bathrooms, offices...everywhere! So I've been searching Pinterest and I saw that you can make your own...they're easy  too! I went to the dollar store and found-

(3)A candle stick-$3

(3)Vase-$3

(1)Small glass bowl pkg of 3- $1

(3)Door knob-3.99 each

(1)Super glue-1

Total-7 dollars plus tax

The hardest part was getting the stickers off everything! 

First I glued the candle stick to the vase- I used an extremely heavy book to get the glue to set

Then I put the knob on top of the glass bowl- that adhered with absolutely no problem!

Here is the finished product! I'm going back to the dollar store tomorrow and making more! I love them! Hope you guys have as much luck as me!
