Relaxing DIY Self-Care Products - Low Waste

[@RachelTeeKae]

My mother passed away a few years ago and my mother-in-law in Ireland passed away this year, so I want to do something like this for a lady in our neighborhood that’s much older and lives alone and doesn’t see her family very much. Thank you for always having such beautiful ideas I can share with people.

This was so sweet, I love it! Did you know vanillin and coffee compounds are part of what make the old book smell because they are what is the contents of the glue keeping the spine together and the smell they give off comes from the breaking down of the book!

[@DVines-sz4nn]

My oldest had skin allergies when he was a child and the doctors recommended oat baths! It was very expensive and such a small batch for us a young military couple and today I marvel that I never thought to make it. Many mothers need these recipes and old remedies! We must never lose these knowings that have been around for ages. Your channel is such a comfort to me so thanks! 🌿🌼🍃

[@manuelaruhstaller6925]

You are so right saying that making these self-care products is self-care in itself! Just the process of melting and mixing and infusing ingredients is soothing. That’s probably also why I relax so well when I’m baking. I’ve just made a vegan silken tofu cheesecake with leftover stale crackers I wanted to use up and I can’t wait to savour it when I come home from work tomorrow :)

[@FairylandCottage]

I make a lot of bath soaks similar to this. It can be horrible for your plumbing to let it go down the drain though, even if it's it's blended. I usually add everything to my mortar and pestle and gently bruise it then add to a reusable cloth bag and tie tight.

[@rhondacurrier4592]

I love making my own products and I couldn't agree more that they are incredibly enjoyable making as well as using. Very well said! Right now I'm taking a label off a jar to make Vapor Rub with essential oils and shea butter. As far as products I use regularly I use the body cream that you did a video on and I make a hair rinse with hearts from the garden and homemade apple cider vinegar, which is also a video you did. Then I have a sugar scrub as well. Great idea to use leftover coffee grounds. I will do that in the future.

[@peggygilbertsen9099]

Good morning and I hope you are well, there, across the pond. Such challenging times lately that call for self care. 🥰 .This is so interesting and natural. Your natural lifestyle has inspired me to be more mindful of zero to low waste. Thank you

[@nicolefields5917]

Thanks for some new projects for those of us who are facing weeks of isolation in our homes. It is always helpful to have a new thing to do each day so that we can keep on the brighter side of life, and create things that we can give to people. These are challenging times, and through creating we can support healthy rhythm, caring for ourselves, and caring for others. I can also share these ideas with some of my older students who will need this kind of self and other care to keep them from spending too much time on their devices. Keep well, everyone!

[@FairylandCottage]

Nicole Fields so true. Much better to make things rather than be online. (Although I am always following some online tutorial!) keep well my friend

[@nicolefields5917]

I often use online tutorials or podcasts as well, though usually while I am making, so I can get the best of both, I guess. Hoping you also keep well!

[@nimedhel09]

Lovely. I have not made any self care item in quite a long time, so I have to thank the KZbin recommendations for this. I'll try the bathsalt mixture on Friday. I don't have any dry flowers so it'll just be plain, smell-wise. As for the candles, I've been keeping the wax for a bit and need to order the little sticks so that I can make new candles, but that'll have to wait a bit.

[@ramonabenson7416]

Omg. I had my home made coffee scrub this morning. It was luxurious. It is nice to see other people making their own scrubs.

I simply love your tutorials. I am just beginning my journey back to the way my grandmother raised me with almost zero waste and reusing items as much as possible. My husband thought I was nuts because I kept all the little slivers of soap and then melted it down and made new bars with it. Not so crazy now lol

Such lovely ideas, Niamh! I will try these for sure! I always look forward to seeing your lovely Sunday videos. With everything going on, I think it would be so helpful to see a video with standard pantry/emergency items, a reminder of cleaning naturally with products please. Here in Ontario the shops, even the huge stores, have been out of toilet paper, organic garlic, turmeric, and ginger all week. Seeing empty aisle after aisle, store after store for days on end is pretty jarring. Thank you for this wonderful, calm video. Blessings, M

[@FairylandCottage]

Emma MacGregor so sorry it’s like that where you live. I’ll take your video suggestions onboard. May you feel calm and healthy.

[@artfulflower]

Hello again! I love to make my own body scrubs for use in the shower. The recipe is very simple: one part brown sugar, one part cane sugar or white sugar, and a light carrier oil to hold everything together. My favorite oils to use for my scrubs are grapeseed oil, jojoba oil, and apricot kernel oil. I write down my recipes and refer to them when I'm ready to make another batch. Sometimes I will replace one if the sugars with epsom salt or sea salt either for occasion or if my body is really sore from the two jobs I work. Sometimes I'll even use my scrub for my feet after soaking them. It's a luxurious way of taking care of myself!

[@FairylandCottage]

Artful Flower I should have called it luxurious self care! So true :-) I must try apricot kernel oil.

[@marionkine]

Coffe grinds scrub is the best body scrub ever ! Never had that silky skin with any other product 💖 i use it on its own or add a little oil. The most heavenly scented (but not as efficient ) was brown sugar with coconut oil. I tried oat/powdered milk bath but didnt feel any soothing on my atopic skin sadly. Plus it swelled a bit weird. I wish i had a nice bushy eucalyptus to use in the bathroom too ! I tried the chickpea flour nopoo the other day and it seems promising. I need to practice more with it because i have very thick hair and it can be difficult to bring it to the roots. But it was surprisingly easy to rince ! Lovely present from someone who cares 💖

[@FairylandCottage]

marionkine ah glad to hear the flour was easy to rinse. You should find that your hair is clean. I just really scrub my scalp for a good while.
