Do it yourself holiday gift-organic perfume

With the Holidays just a month away we thought we'd share an easy guide to make organic perfume for those on your list.

Here is a couple of reasons why we find this to be such a great idea:

-Save $$$
-There is nothing better then giving a present that was made with love.
-Umm considering there are thousands of harmful chemicals in the department store perfumes, who wants to spritz those on...yuck

Here it is, enjoy!

1: Grate 2 tablespoons of unbleached beeswax (use an old candle stump or buy a small solid beeswax brick from the health store).

2: Melt the beeswax and 3 tablespoons of high-grade oil (either organic jojoba oil or almond oil). Placing a thick glass measuring cup in a pot filled with a few centimeters of simmering water. Melt everything in the glass vessel.

3: Remove from heat and stir in 30 drops of your favorite blend of certified organic essential oils. You can get oils here at GL, or head to your local health food store they're sure to have a good selection as well. Make sure its organic!

4: Pour into a cute second-hand containers/tins or get some small glass containers online or from a health/dollar store. Let cool.

Your loved ones will love it, we promise.
