Fizzy Bath Bombs!

Hey Everyone!

I love bath bombs and I think they're the perfect gift for valentines day for your boyfriend of girlfriend, add some candles and you're set for a beautiful romantic, relaxing night in.

So, let's begin with..
What you need (find these in chemist's/craft shops/health food stores):

• 2 Cups Baking soda
• 1 Cup Citric Acid
• 1-3 Drops of any essential oil (I like orange & ginger personally!)
• Witch Hazel (or Just some distilled water)
• Food colouring (optional)
• Spray bottle (diffuser)
• Wooden Spoon
• Mixing Bowl
• Egg Carton

Phew!

Now to the..

How to: 

1. Mix the Baking soda and Citric acid in your bowl (be sure to get rid of any lumps by sieving mixture)
2. Add a few drops of essential oil until the mixture smells sufficiently perfumed.
3. Add 1-3 drops of food colouring, or until the desired colour has been reached. 
4. Spray your witch hazel or water onto the mixture until it becomes damp enough to form pretty solid balls - not too much though!
5. Shape the mixture into evenly sized balls (or you can do small, medium and large sizes!)
6. Place them into your egg carton and leave to dry for 24 hours
7. Et Voila! 

You can decorate the egg carton with confetti, ribbon, glitter or anything you want to present them to your other half. 

Some essential oils you could try are lavender and rose, orange and ginger, peppermint, tea tree, patchouli, ylang-ylang or bergamot.

Super Easy Lip Plumper

So, today I'll show you how to make a super easy lip plumper. Perfect for valentines day or just as a little pampering for yourself. Use

What you need:

• Small plastic pots
• Cocktail stick/Chopstick to mix 
• 2tsp Vaseline (or enough to fill the pot up)
• 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp cayenne powder
• 1/2 tsp sugar (optional)

How to:

1. Melt your Vaseline in the microwave, in a microwavable bowl, for about 15-25sec, or until liquid. 
2. Add the ground cinnamon and mix thoroughly
3. Add cayenne and mix thoroughly
4. Add sugar and mix
5. If necessary, put in microwave for another 15sec to liquefy a little more and infuse everything. 
6. Pour/Scoop into small pots/containers and leave in fridge to set for 1 hour.

Voila! You're lip plumper is done! The cinnamon & cayenne act as a mild irritant to the lips and plumps them up. It also makes them feel pleasantly tingly!

Alternatively you can replace the cinnamon and cayenne with a few drops of rose oil (or any other essential oil) to make a scented lip scrub. Simply massage onto your lips for a 30sec then clean off with a tissue for smooth, hydrated lips!

Let me know how you get on in the comments section below!

Well hello there! 

It's getting awfully close to valentines, don'tcha think? (Wink, wink, nudge, nudge). And now's the time to consider gifts! 

I know it can be tough, queens (and toms!), but fear not, The Pretentious Kitten is here to help! 

I'm here to tell you all you need to know about creating the Purrrfect Pamper Package for your significant other. 

Rather than make this a big long post on everything, I'll break each of them up into their main components, so you can sift through them easier, then I'll do a post on how you can package it all up prettily! 

Each item is very diverse and you can tailor it to your SO's likes and preferences!
