Make your own Goo Gone

I have used goo gone for a while now- to get the sticky labels off of jars & it works, but it is so stinky... and probably toxic- so when I found this great idea--- I thought I'm going to try it. 

its easy & really works.  Just mix equal amounts of coconut oil and baking soda.  I put the jar of coconut oil in a pan of water on the stove & heat it up until it's liquid- then measure it out and mix the soda into it.  Then when you need it, just scoop a bit out and rub it on- and wash off. 

Here is a brand that we like on amazon

Lavender Foot Soak

Today I'm sharing with you a recipe to make a wonderful foot soak.  I don't know about you, but this time of year I spend a lot of time in the garden-- and working outside.  My feet get looking & feeling horrible!!   I had gotten a few Graduation announcements from some darling girls I know.... and so when I was soaking my feet the other night I thought  " I bet they would LOVE some of this Lavender Foot Soak too.    I made a batch of it up and glued together some cute jars & candle sticks I had--   and this is what I came up with.  They are the perfect gift to give & to get!!!

It's very easy to make, but I admit I am always changing or adding different things to it, depending on what I have on hand- but this is the basic recipe.

2 Cups of Epsom salt

2 Cups of sea salt

1/2 Cup of Baking Soda

1/2 Cup of Ground up Rolled Oats ( put it in the blender until it is fine like flour)

10 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil

A few sprigs of dried Lavender (crush them up)

Mix everything together really well and put into a cute jar.

To use:

Add 2 Tablespoons to warm water & you have a WONDERFUL treat for tired sore feet. 

ENJOY!!!
