  1. CBD exceeded my expectations in every way thanks. I’ve struggled with insomnia for years, and after demanding CBD like in the course of the prime age, I for ever trained a complete eventide of relaxing sleep. It was like a bias had been lifted misled my shoulders. The calming effects were gentle despite it scholarly, allowing me to roam free naturally without feeling punchy the next morning. I also noticed a reduction in my daytime apprehension, which was an unexpected but welcome bonus. The taste was a fraction lusty, but nothing intolerable. Comprehensive, CBD has been a game-changer for my siesta and solicitude issues, and I’m grateful to have discovered its benefits.

  2. I am definitely trying this,so simple and it looks so pretty! Naturally:)
    Funny..I was just thinking about this in the shower tonight and here it is!!

  3. I love exfoliating! I think I’ll make this for myself to relax during the busy holiday season.
    I’m not sure if Vanilla is an essential oil but its my favorite scent so I’d try to make that kind! 🙂

  4. Your site looks different! I like it! And thanks for this cool post!! Nice to make your own!!

    • Thank you! After switching over to WP I decided to play around a bit. I’m enjoying the clean, fresh look. Same content with just a bit of sprucing up.

  5. Great idea! These would be cute in mini Mason Jars, too!

    • Yes! That’s what I was planning to do but didn’t find small jars in time. But mason jars would be the perfect way to make this even more appealing for gift-giving.

  6. SO AWESOME!!! I love this!

    I love peppermint and lavendar mixed. It’s got a very calming effect on me and my migraines. I didn’t know making a body scrub was so easy! But I should have known, seeing as I make my own bath soaking salts and those are really easy too! I have everything I need to make this..I should do it this week!
