DIY (Do it your self) All Green Parfume!

Who said that havig a prfume needs a budget, if you can make your own parfume at home. It's not a must to have  a hundred ingredients, you can make perfumes with simple combinations of essential oils, but a delicate water-based perfume with a floral scent is easier and nicer and can be a good gift for the one you love.

 Making your own perfume enables you to eliminate harmful chemicals or preservatives that are often found in synthetic fragrances, such as phthalates, which might cause health problems. A homemade, all-natural, water-based perfume is the best Green, Earth-friendly perfume. But keep in mind that you have to select flowers of hig fragrant. You can use jasmine,  honeysuckle, lavender, or different coloured tea roses.

All you need

• Clean cloth made of cotton
• 2 cups of chopped flowers (of one kind)
• 3 cups distilled water
• A little dark bottle with a lid or a stopper

Procedure

1. Wash flowers' petals from dirt and sediment with tap water.

2. Tie flowers in the cloth and soak inside a bowl in distelled . Cover the bowl with the lid and let the flowers soak all overnight.

3. Next day, remove the lid and gently lift the flower pouch out of water. Squeeze the pouch over a small saucepan, extracting the flower-scented water. Simmer over low heat until you have about a teaspoon of liquid.

4. Pour the cooled water into the bottle and cap it.

N.B. The scent of this perfume will only remain for a month if stored in a cool, dark place. But you'll enjoy a green parfume for a month :)

DIY (Do it your self) herbal soap

It's fun to make your own soap, using safe materials. The most dangerous material in making soap is "lye", it might burn your skin if you're not very careful. The role of dye is for combining with fats to form a salt "soap" in a process called saponification. We can reuse ivory soap to make our own herbal soap safely :)

All we need to do is shredding ivory soap using an ordinary shredder,and to get our favorite herb like chamomile, lavender flower or mint.

Steps

1. Soak 2 tbsp dried favorite powdered herbs in a cup of boiled water for 30 minutes.
2. Add few drops of your favorite essential oil of your favorite scent.
3. Boil then pour over 2 cups of shredded ivory soap.
4. Add few drops of food colour (green for mint, purple for lavender and yellow for chamomile soap)
5. Mix very well and pour into greased molds then leave in a cold place for about half an hour.
6. Take the soap bars out of mold and leave it to dry for at least 2 days and enjoy :)
