DIY Kardashian Style – What Happens When You Dress Like A Kardashian For A Week?

Firstly let me just say this about Miss Kardashian, I know 90% of you hate her.

Sally Holmes, an Editor at Elle.com thought she would find out what it was like to dress like Kim Kardashian for a week. I guess it is like a social experiment that leaves you with a huge fashion bill and possible a chaffed crotch. (read this article about a woman being rushed to hospital after wearing tight jeans).

There is a small amount of us who admire her vulnerability when it comes to fashion. You have to give her credit for becoming a fashion icon when she is not a normal size, “tiny” or a normal shape. This woman (love her or hate her) has made curves and big butts totally acceptable. But did she actually have a big one to start with? According to the scandals she didn’t.

So back to the article. Sally is more of a “perfect” shape but it’s interesting to see that despite that, she was still self conscious in some of Kim’s outfits. Why was she? I think it’s true that we are all hiding our own insecurities no matter what size we are.

To step out into the street and feel confident is an amazing feeling most of us only dream of.

Ask yourself: Are you confident in your style?

There is something wonderfully old-fashioned about a herbal bath soak. Before bath bombs and glittery shower steamers took over the bathroom shelf, a simple bundle of dried herbs in warm water was one of the easiest ways to turn a bath into a little moment of comfort.

This Herbal Bath Soak for Muscle Relief from CraftBits is exactly that kind of recipe. It is simple, natural-looking, and made with easy-to-recognize dried herbs rather than complicated cosmetic ingredients. The mix includes chamomile leaves, crushed bay leaves, rose petals, sage, rosemary, and oregano, creating a strong herbal bath blend designed for tired, aching muscles.

What I like about this project is that it feels very practical. It is not trying to be overly fancy, and it does not require special equipment. You simply combine the herbs and either swish them directly into the bath water or place them into a square of muslin fabric tied with cord, then drop the bundle into the tub like a large herbal bath tea bag. The muslin option is the one I would personally choose, because it gives you the herbal soak without leaving lots of loose herbs floating around the bath.

The recipe is especially nice for people who enjoy warm, earthy, garden-style scents. Rosemary, sage, oregano, and bay all have that kitchen-garden herbal feel, while chamomile and rose petals soften the blend a little. It is not a sweet, perfume-style bath soak. It is more of a rustic, apothecary-inspired soak, which makes it appealing for people who prefer natural bath and body projects.

The CraftBits instructions suggest soaking for around 15 minutes, which makes this an easy add-on to an evening routine rather than a long spa session. The recipe also notes that the mix makes enough for two to three strong baths, or smaller amounts if you are sensitive to stronger herbal scents.

This would also make a thoughtful handmade gift. Pack the dried herbs into a decorative jar, muslin bags, or a small basket with a wooden scoop and a label that says “Herbal Bath Soak for Muscle Relief.” It would be lovely as part of a self-care hamper, a gardener’s gift basket, a post-workout pamper gift, or a handmade present for someone who likes natural bath recipes.

For gifting, I would definitely include usage instructions on the label. Something like: “Add to a muslin bag and steep in warm bath water. Soak for 15 minutes. External use only.” This makes the gift feel more polished and helps the recipient understand exactly how to use it.
