Scented Bath or Foot Scrubs andMassage Oils

Before I found that peanut butter fudge and hot cocoa mix sell REALLY WELL at craft fairs, I used to have a spot at my friends' booth selling "scrubbing salts". You use kosher salt (boxes of it are ALWAYS on sale after most of the big Kosher Holidays at Price Chopper) but usually it runs 2 or 3 dollars a box. You also get bottles of Olive oil from the Aldi store and then go to a natural food store and find a few bottles of essential oils. Fill SMALL canning jars with the salt and cover it with oil. (it really doesn't take that much)..and add a few drops of essential oils..I used to get lemon, lavender, orange, sage and rosemary blend, and spearmint. Sometimes I'd mix the lemon and the lavender, but for the most part the only "mixes" were the ones that were sold that way in the oils ...they were about 6 dollars per bottle at the health food store...but go a really long way! I also picked up pretty colored bottles at the dollar store that actually came with corks and filled them with a light olive oil and some essential oil drops and made homemade massage oil. I made pretty labels with my heat gun and silver and gold embossing crystals and some stampers. It sold really well and smelled really really good too!

just a note! using lavender and Sage essential oils are very VERY SOOTHING..so make sure you are wide awake when you use them or you'll fall asleep in the tub..brrrrrrrrrrr!
