April showers body wash

Making your own scented shower gel is a great way to pack the vibrant scents of spring into your morning. They also make great gifts (hint: Mother's Day).

Ingredients:
1/2 cup of unscented liquid soap
1 teaspoon of almond oil
4 drops of essential oil (Chamomile, Rose, or Lavender for calming and Rosemary, Lemongrass, or Eucalyptus for energizing)

Directions: Mix together all of the ingredients and stir very well. Pour into a clean plastic container and place in your shower.

You got the ingredients for the egg mask wrong (trust me, I've done this). It's just egg white and honey. No sour cream, no yolk. Anywho, the other things sound interesting.

My favourite at home facials are my pumpkin and honey mask and my watermelon cleansing juice for hair.

The flower petal idea sounds easy! I've got plenty of rose petals around right now so I'll have to give it a try!

I tried the egg mask, but it dried up and was hard to remove. Maybe I left it on too long?

Perfect timing! My budget is tight and this is just what I need.

I loved the Flower Petal steam facial! I put the steamy flower mixture by my bed, slept on my dreamskinpillowcase and woke up feeling beautiful. The aroma lasted all night long.
