NEED this in my life again. I'll feel like a glorious, glamorous, wonderful witch whenever I leave the shower.

I've really been digging the effects of lavender + peppermint on my psyche lately: both soothing and clarifying. So this batch I'm making for myself will be that scent, because it's amazing.

My roommate JUST today asked me if we could have a DIY party in December to work on gifts. This might be something I use. Thank you!

(On the other hand, I just bought a SheaMoisture [love that company] manuka honey salt scrub for myself. Which I don't actually want to use much, but I was... shedding. And I don't want to shed.)

I love this recipe so much! I also love it because I can customize the scents with my own oils - when you just mix it up, it's completely unscented. Last year for Christmas I made small tins of this for most people on my list, with a scent that I thought they'd enjoy, and everyone loved it!

If you do throw a DIY party, could I come? I'd probably make tins of this again, but might do some other crafty things.

oooo completely unscented for the people with migraines!

(I am usually ok with non-chemical scents like essential oils but that bit is intriguing. XD)

That is the beauty of making it yourself! You can make the scent as strong, subtle, or nonexistant as you want!

It doesn't really have much of an odor - but it is almond oil, so it has a very slight oil smell without any essential oil in it. Like, most people probably wouldn't smell anything, but I know the power of migraine smells.

Yep! I had to ask if Roomie intended it to be a just-two-of-us thing and she said because she's making gifts for our mutual friends she didn't want everyone to come, but you are welcome. I'll try to remember to email or text you the date we picked.
