Gifts From The Beauty Kitchen

Dateline: 11/26/99

Now that Thanksgiving is over for the American readers, thoughts now turn to Christmas and all the planning that will have to go into it. While I can't help with every part of it, I can help out with a few gift ideas for the ladies in the office. Imagine how surprised they will be when you arrive laden with gifts for each of them. And imagine how surprised they are going to be when you announce t o the group, that you made all the gifts by hand.

Now if you are groaning because you can't knit, crochet or sew, you can relax. I'm not sending you to the craft room, I will be sending you to the kitchen. But before we start, here is a list of some of the ingredients that you are going to need.

  • baking soda
  • epsom salts
  • essential oil in your favorite scent
  • fancy glass bottles (available at most dollar stores)
Mix equal amounts of baking soda and epson salts together and then scent with a few drops of essential oil. With so many fragrances available, the different kinds of bath salts you can create are endless. Below are a few variations and other beauty recipes that you might like to try .
