Make your own Perfume

I don't know why I never thought of this idea earlier!
It is very simple to do and the end results are amazing- there also great for christmas pressies :)


What you will need:
empty perfume bottle ( I got mine from ebay for around 2-3 pound)
plastic measuring cup 30ml
vodka
olive oil
essential oil rose
essential oil geranium
essential oil ylang ylang 


So first of all the essential oils can be changed to anything you want, these are just my favourites and smell amazing together.
Put 10ml of vodka and 10ml of olive oil in the measuring cup. Added 5 drops of geranium, 2 drops of rose and 1 of ylang ylang. 
This perfume will need to be stored in a cool, dry, dark cupboard for two weeks and will need to be lightly shaken twice a day.
And that is it after two weeks you will be ready to use it straight away, again as all the other blends will only last up to six months

Nail Oil

So I had made the most amazing cuticle oil it works wonders for my cuticles and nails. It is deeply moisturising so say goodbye to horrible, dry nails

What you will need:
A dark glass bottle
Carrier almond oil
Carrier peach kernel oil
Essential oil geranium
Essential oil rose
Essential oil myrr
Essential oil frankincense

So i filled 1/4 of the bottle with almond oil and 1/2 with peach kernel oil. I added in 5 drops of geranium, 2 drops of rose, 1 drop of myrr and 1 drop of frankincense. Put the lid on the bottle and give it a wee shake. And thats it your ready to go!

Rub 1 drop of the blend on each nail, massage in gently.
This blend if stored in a cool, dark, dry place should last for up to 6 months

I should mention I found this blend online it is not my own but its still amazing :)
