Green Tea & Lemon Bath Bombs | A Beautiful Mess

I’m gonna be straight up with you guys - bath bombs can be hard to get right. They have a habit of being temperamental - too much moisture and they activate too soon, not enough and they will crumble into a big mess when you unmold them. Boo. But once you have the process down pat you will get addicted to making these fun fizzy balls! I love anything lemon scented, but I have to admit that the tea bag tags are what drew me towards this project - so fun! This blend of green tea and lemon is super uplifting, perfect for Winter baths when you’re feeling a little blah.

DIY Body Glitter!!!

This is the easiest DIY, all you need is a container, aloe and your choice of glitter!!! So much cheaper and better for you than the store bought stuff….I’m so ready to put glitter all over me hehehe!!!!

PLEASE don’t put crafting glitter on your face. really, don’t do it. You could get it into your eyes and that’s dangerous. Crafting glitter is also dyed, those dyes can (don’t have to, but it’s possible) be toxic on your skin and leach out and stain. It’s much safer to use cosmetic glitter, it’s colored with pigment rather than with dye. I’ve saw this DIY somewhere else on tumblr and someone who tried it got glitter in their eyes, it’s pretty dangerous! So, please don’t use this stuff on your face! (to be honest, I wouldn’t even put it on my body somewhere else) There’s a valid reason why it’s not allowed to put crafting glitter in cosmetic products. The most of us love glitter, but please stay safe!

Are you planning on shampoo I'd love to have my hair smell like your scents

Shampoo is definitely on my “list” it’s just a big back burner item right now.

Shampoo can be tricky and is definitely more expensive to produce and would thus cost more to the consumer.  I’m mostly a bit worried that the price tag would turn people away which is why I’ve hesitated on it several times now.

I’m not sure if you’ve ever used shampoo before that isn’t ‘commercial’ but with more natural ingredients it tends not to lather as much (even with the ingredients that cause the lather) and can sometimes leave people who aren’t used to that type of shampoo feeling like it’s not getting their hair clean enough (even though it is actually much better for your hair and your scalp).  So again, I’m just a bit wary of it at the moment.  If I get enough different people telling me they’d definitely purchase it though it’ll make it much more likely to happen since I don’t have to worry about sinking money into it otherwise.

Hope that makes sense and I appreciate your suggestion!  Thank you ♥

DIY Glitter Pumpkin 

Materials Needed:

pumpkins

colored glitter

spoon

spray adhesive

small paintbrush

brown craft paint

roll of craft paper

newspaper                                                                                                                 

Prepare Work Area :

Put down a layer of newspaper topped with a sheet of craft paper to protect the work surface. Then select pumpkins of various sizes and colors, and decide which ones will receive which color glitter.

Apply Adhesive and Glitter

Spray the top and middle portion of a pumpkin with spray adhesive. While the glue is still wet, use a spoon to sprinkle glitter over the sticky surface of the pumpkin. Allow to dry.

Tip: Unless you want to glitter the stem, try not to spray it with adhesive. Cover it with painter’s tape if necessary.

Remove Excess Glitter

Pick up the pumpkin and shake off any glitter that didn’t fully adhere. Set the pumpkin aside and fold the craft paper to funnel the excess glitter back into its original container.
