My Bubble Bath


I made some bubble bath to put in my retro vanity bottle. The mix is a cup of pure liquid castile soap, a half cup of lavender water, one teaspoon sugar, one teaspoon glycerin, fifteen drops lavender and five drops of spearmint essential oils. It tuned out really good and made a great bath, so I will make it again sometime.

Rugosa Rose


These are my Rugoa Roses I let them grow wild on my palce. I make rose water out of them, as well as tea, salad, lemonade and flavored water.

Cleansing Grains


This is how I mix my cleansing grains. I mix them in a small bowl and I make just enough to last a day or two. I use lots of roses in my mix, so the color of the grains when wet are a pink color. when I use my own hand crafted rose water in the mix the color of the past is a deeper pink color and it smells wounderful.

Cleansing Grains


These are Rosemary Gladstar's cleaning grains and I use them every day to clean my skin. I keep a big jar of them by my sink. I mix up what I want to use in a little bowl. I mix up just enough to last me a day or two at a time. I mix the grains with rose water. My mix is a cup of ground oats, two cups white clay, quarter cup ground almonds, half cup ground rose petals, half cup lavender buds, and about thirty drops of lavender essential oil added in.

I follow up with a splash of rose water. The rose water mix has a few drops of glycerine added in. You can add in some witch hazel into the mix, if you have oily skin, but it will change the smell of roses.
