MIX-IT-YOURSELF BEAUTY TREATMENT

INEXPENSIVE BABY WIPES

You need: 1 roll of Bounty paper towels (cut in half and remove center, a serrated kitchen knife or a hacksaw works well), a container that will hold the paper towel half roll and fit all the way to the bottom (3 quart cylinder from Rubbermaid fits the cut jumbo roll of Bounty perfectly). Mix 1 cup warm water with 1 T. each baby oil and baby bath. Pour over the paper towels and after it has soaked in add one more cup warm water. For the jumbo roll increase the ingredients by 1/2, 3 cups of warm and 1 1/2 T of baby bath and baby oil to each half roll. We have saved lots of money on these and really like them. They are also great for in the car clean-up. Plus I think that it would be easy to store the ingredients for a long period of time.

ROMAN BATH OIL

1 cup corn oil (Romans use sesame or olive oil)
1 tablespoon of any liquid shampoo
1/2 teaspoon oil of rose, geranium or you favorite perfume or cologne

Pour oil, shampoo and scent into a bottle, leave shaking room. The shampoo breaks the oil into million of fine globules that cling to you seven million open pores. Just 2 tablespoon of this mixture in the tub of good warm water does wonders for dry skin.

TOOTH POWDER

Put one and a half cup of salt in your blender and turn it on high. Then turn it off and shake the container. Whip some more until it is absolutely pulverized into a fine, fine powder. Add a pound of bicarbonate of soda (plain old baking soda). Shake the blender and whip or until it's all mixed. Put half of the mixture in a jar. Add to the half left in the blender 1/8 oil of cloves. Blend some more OHHH what an aroma. Add 1/8 oil of wintergreen to the jar. Shake until well mixed. You have two differnt flavors to brush your teeth.

BATH SALTS

mix fine founds opsom salt, 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol, 1/2 box rit, 1/2 cup glycerin, 2 to 3 oz of cologne. Mix well. Leave in the pan to dry an hour or so, mixing every once in a while. Put in decorative containers to be use by you or you can give as a gift.
