This year, Valentine’s Day has me very excited to make fun little gifts and pampering treats. One of the things I love about this holiday is the gifts that are given to our sweethearts as well as our friends.
Finished sample jars of Strawberries & Champagne Lotion.
Today I wanted to pop into the blog kitchen to make a quick gift for a ladies luncheon that I’m attending this weekend. After rummaging through the blog fragrance stash, I decided that Strawberries & Champagne would be a perfect scent for my friends and the upcoming holiday.
While I am using one of our fabulous moisturizers, I really want you to try the Strawberries & Champagne Fragrance because it is absolutely delectable!
Come join me in the kitchen and we’ll have a bunch of giggles!
| Ingredients Lotion Base Strawberries & Champagne Fragrance Oil Purple Raspberry Color premixed with water |
Equipment Spoons (I love the Soap Spoons for this!) Plastic Bag or disposable pastry bags Containers of your choice (I used the 1 oz Jar & Cap Set) |
Recipe:
| Recipe in Grams 3628 grams Lotion Base 16 grams Strawberries & Champagne Fragrance Oil q.s. Purple Raspberry Color |
Recipe in Ounces 128 ounces Lotion Base 0.51 ounces Strawberries & Champagne Fragrance Oil q.s. Purple Raspberry Color |
Recipe in Percentages 99.6% Lotion Base 0.4% Strawberries & Champagne Fragrance Oil q.s. Purple Raspberry Color |
Q.S. means quantity sufficient. I added a few drops of premixed color until I felt there was enough color to give the body cream a pretty pink tint. To get my premixed color, I mixed 1/2 tsp of dry Purple Raspberry with 1 fl oz of water to get my pink/red color. I used approximately 6-8 drops of the liquid color to achieve my pink lotion.
Are you ready to get started? Open the pail of Lotion Base. Add the fragrance. (This is about half of a 1 fl oz bottle.) Using a large spoon or spatula, stir in the fragrance. To help make sure it has been mixed well, I add a few drops of color to help color the base. Stir well. You will know that you are finished when there aren’t any more white spots!
Fill your desired containers. I love using disposable pastry bags that are filled with the mixed lotion and then filling my jars. It keeps the mess to a minimum and speeds up the filling process.
This is a great project to do with children or teens who want to do something unique for their Valentine’s Day gifts.
