Kitchen Elfing and the Eco-Kids Tuesday Link-Up

Monday evening, a little elfing went on!

We made a few gifts in the kitchen!

First up were bath salts.. both lavender vanilla and peppermint eucalyptus.

We used 3/4 cup of epsom salts and 1/4 cup of baking soda as the base for each jar.

For the peppermint eucalyptus, we added 10 drops of each essential oil.

Perfect for colds, congestion, coughs.

To make the lavender vanilla, we used 10 drops of lavender and five "smidges" of vanilla.

Very relaxing!

 Shake, shake, shake!

Next we made peppermint eucalyptus chest rub. (It can also be rubbed on thebottoms of your feet.)

For each tin, we heated (double boiler) 1/2 cup organic olive oil and 1/8 cup organic beewax pellets.

To that we added 30 drops of peppermint essential oil and 60 drops of eucalyptus (we like the smell!)

We label the jars and tins.  The ones with paper labels are gifts and the others ones are for ourselves!

Bonus Happy Baby Picture!

Now onto the Kids Link-Up!  Welcome!!  We had so many great posts shared last week! I enjoyed each and every one of them.  It is getting harder and harder each week to pick just a few features!  Here are three of my favorites.

My first feature is from Hey Mommy, Chocolate Milk!  We liked her paper plate angels so well that we made them in our playschool!

I have always liked beeswax! So I really liked this ornament from Sunshine Living!

Alderberry Hill shared a sweet paint dipped pinecone ornament!
