Instructions:
Using a digital kitchen scale weigh out the oils in a small glass beaker and then warm slightly. Weigh out the shea butter and stir into oils until it melts completely, then add the essential oil blend. Pour into a 1 oz. amber glass bottle and cap.
You can then decorate your bottle as desired. For my bottle I used a blank sticker label and washi tape. I covered a section of the label with washi tape then cut it out into the shape of heart. I then cut out a smaller heart shape from the blank label sheet and adhered it to the front of the washi tape covered heart and wrote out my message. Finally the I adhered the entire heart to the bottle.
To give your massage oil an even more romantic feel, package instead in a clear glass bottle and a small amount of rose petals or buds, calendula petals or even pink mica.

Coconut Oil Lotion Bar
Coconut Oil Lotion Bar
EquipmentSaucepan
Lotion mold, muffin pan or tins
Ingredients
1 part Coconut Oil
1 part Pure Beeswax
Essential Oils (Optional)
Directions
Heat coconut oil and beeswax together in a saucepan over low heat. It helps if you break up the beeswax into small chunks because it takes a while for the wax to melt. Once the beeswax and coconut oil are melted add essential oils. I like to use vanilla and lavender. I’m sensitive to strong fragrances so I only add a few drops.
Pour melted coconut oil and beeswax into lotion bar molds or muffin tins. Let them sit until cool. You can also place them in the refrigerator if you need to speed up the process.
How to Use Lotion Bars
The first time I used a lotion bar I had some trouble. No one explained to me how to use them. I ended up bringing it into the shower with me and used it like a soap bar. It worked pretty well as a moisturizer, but a lot of it would wash off in the shower. Later I figured out that you’re not supposed to use it in the shower (though I still keep one in my shower because we like to use it the wrong way). Instead you need to rub the bar until it’s warm and then apply it on your skin like lotion.

Ten tips to help parents and children get through the exams
1.
Know your childs entire exam schedule.
Pin a copy of the examination timetable on the kitchen notice board. You should also note the date and time of each paper. Make sure you are at all times aware when your son or daughter has to be in the examination centre.
2. Ensure your child is present for each paper.
Yes, its sounds ridiculous, but with both parents working in many homes, it can happen that someone forgets to wake the student. Make sure they are up and dressed each morning before you leave the house.
3. Make a checklist of daily requirements, based on each days papers.
Make a final check each morning before you leave home that your son or daughter is fully prepared for the days exams. Writing instruments, along with the other requirements such as rulers, erasers, calculators etc should be checked, along with reading glasses etc.
4. Listen to the story of their day and move on.
After each days examinations, allow your child to recount to you their daily story. Do not be tempted to review in detail the errors or omissions they may have made in answering the paper in question. Such a process achieves absolutely nothing, other than to increase stress levels. Simply allow them the time and space to tell their story and move on.
5. Help them to focus on the next days papers.
It can be helpful to review the next paper. Simple questions, such as What is up next?, Are there any compulsory sections?, Are there any predictable questions? and so on, can be useful in helping students devise their study schedule for the time available before the next exam.
6. Help them to maintain a balanced daily routine.
You should ensure your child maintains a proper balance between study and rest. After an exam, they need time to rest and recharge before they can do any beneficial study for the next paper. Remember that this is on average a two-week process and they need to be as sharp on the morning of their final paper as they are tomorrow. Late-night study sessions should be avoided.
7. A good nights sleep always improves examination performance.
All study should end at least an hour before bed to allow the student to unwind. Falling straight into bed from the study desk means the students mind will be buzzing for hours as he/she attempts to fall asleep.
8. You are what you eat.
What you eat and drink affects your performance in any field of activity, especially one involving mental sharpness. As a parent, you should try to ensure that your child eats and drinks nutritious food during the coming weeks. Grazing on junk food is very tempting at times of increased stress. Avoid this.
9 Dont overhype the importance of any examination.
Make it clear to your kids that your love and regard for them is in no way dependent on how they perform in the Junior or Leaving Certificates. This affirmation is the best gift you can give them on the eve of their exams.
10. Make sure your child continues to mix with friends and family.
Dont isolate them in the study room upstairs. Contact with their peers is very important to maintaining their spirits during the coming weeks. You can also support them and lift their spirits when they are taking a break from their studies.
