bath salt
Material List

works great!),_Food Coloring,
Essential Oil (ex. lavender or vanilla),_Small piece of fabric
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix 2 cups of Epsom Salt with 1 cup of Course Salt.
Stir in 2-3 drops of food coloring (not too much- you don’t want to
permanently change color!)

Use 1/3 to 1/2 cups of your bath salts in your next bath.

1. Put salts in baby food jars and wrap with tulle and ribbon for special
gifts or party favors. Make a

Lip gloss
Materials
Vegetable shortening, honey, unsweetened drink mix (eg. Kool-Aid), hot water
Directions
1. Use a small bowl to mix 1 tbsp of the solid vegetable shortening and 1 tsp of honey.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the drink mix and 1/4 tsp of hot water until it is dissolved. Stir in as much of the drink mix as possible. The actual amount will depend on the temperature of water. The more you can dissolve, the stronger the flavor will be.
You can choose the color and flavor of you lip gloss by the type of drink mix you use.
3. Add one drop of the water mixture to the shortening/honey base. Stir well. Repeat until you get the color/flavor combination you want.
4. Pour into a clean container or old lip gloss pot. :)
5. Store in the refrigerator. Keeps for 3 days, but it tastes so good that you will use it up very fast!
Variation
Use some glitter for cake decorating to add some sparkle to your lip gloss.
