Make your own Lavender oil.

Making your own oils is super easy, it's cheap and natural! There are tons of different things you can do with, but this time I chose for one of my favorites: Lavender oil.

What do we need?

50 gr of dried lavender.
500 ml of sunflower or olive oil
a big clean glass jar
a nice sunny and warm spot

Put the dried lavender into the clean glass jar. (find more info on keeping things clean and hygienic here)
Poor the oil over the lavender, this isn't exact science, you might need a little more or less than the 500 ml, just make sure the buds are covered in oil.

Now place the jar in a warm and sunny place. Preferably on a window sil or something (if there's a heater nearby that's even more perfect) Keep it there for about 4 weeks, and stir the mixture every day.
After those 4 weeks you take some cheese cloth or a fine strainer to separate the flowers from the oil and you will have some very very nice smelling lavender oil. Lavender is great for your skin and the smell is calming. I really really enjoyed making this, if you want to try making your own oil I highly recommend it. The smell is just so amazing. You will not regret it.

DIY: Galaxy print t-shirt

I love galaxy print, but items with this print are usually pretty expensive. Luckily there's an easy method to make your own galaxy print and save some money.

What do we need?
*shirt, dress or any other type of clothing
*spray bottle
*bleach
*fabric paint

Fill the spray bottle with bleach and water, I used a 50/50 ratio. Spray the mixture onto your shirt and let it dry, this is important because if you just spray a whole bunch of the mixture on there you might not get the result you want. Once dry, you can see what the mixture has done so far and you can spray some more on the areas you want to be lighter. You can also use a brush to splash some of the mixture directly onto the shirt to get bigger blobs.
Once dry, it's time to use the fabric paint. Mix a little fabric paint with some water and just splash it on there to get small splashes on your shirt, little white stars. The less water you use the whiter the and clearer the splashes will be. You can also paint some stars directly on there with just fabric paint. You can use the standard white, but also a small amount of other colors, like dark blue or yellow. Continue the process until you're happy with the result. Let the paint dry, fixate it and enjoy wearing your tee.

These are the two tees I made. As you can see the bleach can have a different effect depending on the color of your shirt. I got some white bleach marks on my dark blue shirt, and some red shades on my black shirt.
Feel free to experiment and have fun with it!

Hot oil hair treatment.

I made this recipe 2 or 3 months ago, and I was surprised to find out I hadn't written a blog post about it!
This hair treatment/mask is a great way to give your hair a much needed boost and make it shiny and soft.

What do we need?
*15 gr of calendula oil
*15 gr of chamomile oil
*15 gr of wheat germ oil
*5 drops of lavender essential oil
*5 drops of rosemary essential oil

Mix all the ingredients together in a bottle and let it rest for a couple of days before using it. Yep, it's that easy.

So how do we use this?
We need
* oil treatment
* towel
* glass or ceramic boil to heat the oil

Take about 6 tablespoons (more or less, it all depends on how thick/long your hair is) and heat the oil using a double boiler. Don't get it too hot, just nice and warm to the point where you can still handle it without burning yourself. Heating the oil will help your hair absorb the oils and increase the treatment's effectiveness.
Distribute the oil onto your hair and  wrap a warm and wet towel around your head. Leave the treatment in for at least 30 minutes and then rinse and shampoo your hair. Let it dry and enjoy softer hair!
