Book Review And Giveaway – Girls Home Spa Lab

November 1, 2018 by Shellie Wilson 7 Comments

Girls Home Spa Lab: by Mata Pagan

We love our DIY body recipes and I love the concept of setting up our tweens for DIY products too. Recently I asked my daughter to tell me what was the main ingredient in my facewash, her reply was, I don’t know mum but there is a whole list of chemicals that goes on and on. I hadn’t taken notice of what I was putting on my face because I had become so busy I just grabbed a store-bought facewash. Ugh I threw it away immediately and told my daughter to go and grab the coconut oil from the kitchen and we wiped away the grime with that. I want my daughter to value her skin and her health and this book is a great way to get started in teaching them that less is more.  Not only is this book a great lesson for life, it’s also loads of fun for the girls too. They get to mix and create their own products.

It’s science, it’s health care, it’s fun!

The perfect gift for any tween girl passionate about self-care, this collection brims with 50 recipes for natural body care products, 25 craft projects for relaxation, yoga routines, and so much more!

This book would be perfect for a Girls Sleepover party. You could grab the ingredients and let the girls use the book to guide their own activities for the Sleepover party.

We are giving two lucky Craftgossip.com readers the chance to get their hands on this book. For your chance to win signup to our newsletter and comment below with one beauty tip or piece of advice you would share with a tween.

    Take the time to wash your face each morning and night and moisturize with an oil free moisturizer.

    That while their beauty comes from within, it can be really fun to mix up some natural products to care for their outside!

    My girl would love this book! My tip is to wash your face with a mild cleanser (wash your hands first!). Use a non-comedogenic moisterizer for skin with a tendency to break out.

    Less is more. You don’t need a lot of beauty care and makeup – just a little to enhance.

DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub

If you love simple handmade gifts that still feel festive and special, this DIY Christmas Cherry Body Scrub from CraftBits is such a fun little project. It is bright, pretty, and has that sweet cherry scent that makes it feel perfect for Christmas gifting.

What I like about this tutorial is how easy it is to pull together. The scrub uses granulated sugar, sweet almond oil or another carrier oil, red cherry fragrance oil, and a touch of mica powder for color, so it feels like one of those projects you can make quickly but still package up beautifully.

It is the kind of bath and body recipe that works really well for teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, hostess gifts, or just a little festive treat for yourself. The pretty pink-red color and cherry fragrance give it a cheerful Christmas feel without needing anything too complicated.

The tutorial itself is wonderfully straightforward too. You simply combine the ingredients well and store the finished scrub in an airtight container, which makes this a lovely beginner-friendly project for holiday crafting.

If you are looking for a quick Christmas body scrub recipe that feels handmade, giftable, and easy to recreate, this one is a sweet little pick.
