Sweet n' Salty in Victoria

1. She always, ALWAYS lives in a cute “character house.”
2. When she says “want a snack?” she doesn’t rip open a bag of finger-staining Cheetos. She whips out a frying pan and cooks up something like homemade warm artichoke dip.
3. Everything she touches turns to Martha Stewart home style perfection. Even her kitty litter looks like it could be on the cover of a magazine, I bet.
Therefore, it was only natural to ask Gina to demonstrate a cheap Christmas craft for this blog. Since she was already making bath salts (she would be), she let me in on the action, which I will now share with you!
First things first: INGREDIENTS and SUPPLIES!
-Mixing spoon
-Poinsettia (to look cool in the background)
-Bottles (dollar store ones will suffice)
-Ribbon
-Epsom Salts (find these at the drugstore)
-Essential oils (Gina used Neroli and Jasmine)
-Dried lavender
-Fresh Rosemary sprigs
1. Pour Epsom Salts into the bowl.
2. Drip in the essential oils.
3. Mix in lavender.
4. Stuff a sprig of rosemary into each bottle, then carefully fill with your salty concoction.
5. Decorate with ribbon (don’t forget to curl it!), and finish it off with a gratuitous piece of rosemary on the exterior.
VOILA!
6. Last but not least, don’t forget to test out your product....
Keep checking back here throughout the holidays for more Christmas frivolity!
