And the scrub! I am so happy you tried it. Sometime do try the honey as the oil would have worked fine for the scrub and moisturizing effect but also honey has its own properties as a mask that you will find leaves your skin so nice.<br />The beauty of a bath is you can do several things at once all while soaking! Thank you for telling me this, I am sorry I was so slow to reply!

Oh my goodness!! It was wonderful! I lit a lavender candle in th bathroom, very relaxing. I also tried a sugar scrub on my face. I didn't have honey, so I used olive oil. My face was so soft afterwards, and still is today. We start our new homeschool year today, I think this is my new favorite way to prep for school! It was all a perfect way to start my week!

That is the ultimate I think! <br />I admire anyone working hard in a business to make ends meet and feed their family and businesses absolutely have to cover their costs and make a profit, of course. I know t the salon I was at, product sales were almost 50% of the business profits and without them they would have gone under. High running costs etc...but I dont blame them for that, they are running a business, employing people etc all important. <br />We always say this but you tube is great for tutorials on how to do anything. Lucy does her own gel nails and they are beautiful! <br />Have a good week. I hope a quieter week for you!

Well done to all concerned! You know that you and I share a love of all things beauty related, and everything you say is true. I confess now that I have a hairdresser niece, that I let her absolve me of all responsibility with hair dye (not that I have that much any more!), and a good home pampering session saves hundreds on similar treatments at a beauty specialty salon. That said, you know my family has a new venture on the horizon in this very area, and our aim will be to cater for ALL budgets, including sharing some DIY ideas. I think the last thing people want, as you've said, is to come for a gorgeous pampering session, only to have product shoved at them at the end. You are your girls are all just stunning and a true testament to how much we can all achieve ourselves. Love, Mimi xxxMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189100084557458199noreply@blogger.com
