Do it yo’self.
Is my motto, and it’s a great one when it comes to gifts. Giving and receiving something that’s been made by hand is the best! And with the festive season in full swing, chances are your friends and fam are looking for any excuse for a pamper session, so it’s only right that you give them one. So today we’re going to help you put together a natural beauty kit to give as a gift – below you’ll find printables and recipes… all you need are the ingredients! Creating a kit with natural beauty recipes is not only incredibly thoughtful, but it’s a great way to show someone you care about them inside, and out. The best thing? You can find many of these ingredients at your local supermarket or pharmacy. Looks like massaging and resting this festive season doesn’t have to be limited to in the kitchen with the turkey…
