Christmas ideas

This year I was thinking of making some gifts for christmas... here's 2 ideas I had already, both direct from Tupperware:


Coconut Lip Balm
Light and nourishing, this flavoursome lip balm will rejuvenate and moisturise your lips
Makes : 80g
Prep :  5 minutes
Ingredients: 
20g Aloe Vera Gel
20g Vaseline or Petroleum Jelly
40g Coconut Oil


Method (as on the Tupperware recipe sheet)
Measure ingredients with digital scales,  placing them in the Tupperwave 1 litre jug. Mix ingredients together with spatula until well combined.


Cover jug and microwave on medium (500 watts) for 2 minutes. Stir with the spatula until smooth.


Let balm cool slightly. Pour a portion of the balm into the Travel Accessories Creme Jar and the remainder can be poured into a TupperCare Snack Cup. Let the balm cool completely and then apply to the lips as often as required.


NOTE:
- If the Coconut Oil is solid in consistency, uncover the jar and place it in the microwave for 30-45 seconds on medium (500 watts).
- Ingredients can be found at your local health food store.
- Recipe has been tested in an 800 watt microwave. Please adjust your microwave if necessary (High 800 watts, Medium High 650 watts, Medium 500 watts)
- If you feel any irritation, was off balm immediately.


DID YOU KNOW?
- Aloe Vera Gel has soothing and hydrating properties which can help the body clean and maintain  the pH balance of the skin.
- Coconut Oil  is an excellent natural skin moisturiser and softener.
- Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) helps prevent lips from chapping 








HONEY SCRUB
Rejuvenate dry skin the natural way. Luxurious, moisturising and exfoliating - this scrub, enriched with honey, sugar and essential salts helps provide vital nutrients to dull, dry skin.
Makes : approximately 300ml
Prep : 5 minutes
Ingredients: 
20g sea salt flakes
40g brown sugar
40g sorbolene creme
15g 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil
10g honey (at room temperature)


METHOD:
Using digital scales, measure ingredients and placing them in the Quick Chef II, with the paddle whisk attachment. Cover and process until combined.


Using a spatula, remove excess contents from the sides of the Quick Chef II. Scrub should be slightly runny in consistency.


Apply a small amount to desired area (hands, feet, knees, heels or elbows) and gently massage in a circular motion. Leave mixture on the skin for 15 minutes.


Rinse with warm water and pat dry.


Use on a weekly basis to keep skin velvety smooth.


NOTE:
- If the honey is thick in consistency, place it in the TupperWave 1 litre Jug and microwave for 5 seconds on medium (500 watts).
- 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil can be substituted with Virgin Olive Oil.
- Scrub is recommended for hands, knees, feet, heels or elbows, but may also be used on the body. Not intended for use on the face.
- If extra exfoliant is required, apply the mixture to a loofa or add more brown sugar.
- Recommended for weekly use.


DID YOU KNOW?
- Sorbolene cream helps to moisturise and cleanse skin, leaving it smooth and nourished. It contains properties to help revitalise dry or damaged skin and is particularly recommended for sensitive skin.
- Honey is a natural anti-bacterial agent, deeply cleansing your skin and opening up clogged pored.
- The high percentage of unsaturated fat in Olive Oil means it is a great moisturizer.
