Every year, we struggle with the most profound of philosophical questions:

Just what is the PERFECT gift?

Of course, “perfect” varies from person to person, for this friend or that family member. And by the time you’ve chosen the perfect presents, AND do all the shopping for those on your list, you might as well have made the gifts yourself!

And come to think of it, it might be more fun that way…

One thing any DIY enthusiast will tell you is that handmade items mean so much more when given as gifts. We’ll go over several quick and easy DIY recipes that will be a huge hit with your family and friends. Of course, these don't need to be kept just for Christmas, they make perfect gifts all year round!

Here’s one to get you started.

LASH & BROW BOOST ROLLER

• 3 drops Cedarwood Essential Oil

• 3 drops Lavender Essential Oil

• 3 drops Rosemary Essential Oil

Put drops of Essential Oil in a 5ml roller bottle and fill with Castor Oil as the carrier oil (the carrier is vital to really condition the lashes and give them the extra boost they need). To apply, roll a small amount on your fingertip and apply as close to the lash line as you can without getting the blend in your eyes. Only a very small amount is needed so that it does not run when it warms to your body temperature.
