DIY Gift Ideas on a Budget

This past Christmas our funds were limited so while the little kids in our family got gifts, I still wanted to give something to cousins/sisters/nieces. I researched a couple DIY gifts on the blogesphere and came up with these 3 fun projects. My partner in crime Diana did the same thing and here is how they came out (Click on links for step-by-step instructions).

These two ideas came from http://www.momadvice.com/

Oatmeal Milk Bath - Great for people with sensitive skin

 Ingredients

 Blend until fine

Put in a pretty mason jar & done! Super Easy.

Pretty Bath Salts - **Great Valentines Day Gift***

 No blending required on this one. Just colorants! ;)

See the pink swirls - they make me smile! :)

Facial Scrub - Inspiration came from Kelle Hampton's blog but we ended up making it our own and it's pretty amazing, I have been using it myself. Won't share just yet how we made our batch but you can always try Kelle's version.

 mixing the ingredients.

 pretty

ready to gift!

These were both super fun to make & with a 8 month old they were all made after he went to sleep so it was also nice to be able to chat with a friend while DIY'ing. Oh and by the way all this stuff if pretty much made out of natural ingredients! Enjoy!

Cause I'm just a Girl

This weekend I went by sephora twice! I stopped by on Saturday to see their Sephora by Opi Nail Color collection and just had to go back on Sunday for more! These are my favorite colors so far - Oh and check out the names - LOVE IT!:

I also got three lipglosses for free as my birthday gift from Sephora! :) Great Weekend! Ahhh the simplest things make me happy!
