Chocolate VanillaChocolate can go well with a wide variety of flavors. Vanilla, of course, is the most common, and many candy manufacturers add either pure vanilla or vanillin (an artificial vanilla flavor) to their chocolate candies, since our palates have become accustomed to chocolate with a light vanilla undertone.  That is interesting in the food arena, but is it also true for bath set fragrance. Considering a chocolate cupcake may not bath is now a real possibility.

Chocolate can be flavored with alcohol-based extracts, liqueurs, or flavored oils. Alcohol-based extracts are commonly found in the baking aisle of grocery stores and include flavors like vanilla, almond, hazelnut, coconut, and lemon. These same flavors make exceptional fragrance for bath and beauty products. These same flavors are favorites for aromatic candles and spa gift baskets.

Baby' BathGetting your baby ready for a bath requires some preparation.  It is important that all the supplies are in reach for bathing the baby.  A baby bath gift set is a great idea and one any mother can appreciate.  With a bath gift basket or bath set bath time can be fun for the little one.

A great way to start is # 1. Ready your supplies: a waist-high sturdy table, a basin of warm water, two washcloths, two to three towels,  unscented mild soap such as pure castile soap, and baby shampoo. Fold a bath towel to make an absorbent cushion for the baby to lie on. (For babies who do not like to lie flat, use a folded hand towel as a pillow underneath the shoulders and head.)

More steps to follow.

Mint TeaMaking mint tea can be a snap if you have the following ingredients.
Have some fresh mint leaves (about a small handful) ready to be brewed to make tea, if the leaves were grown form your garden or plant collection make sure to thoroughly wash them.  Then in small boiling pot, pour in 1-2 cups of water then heat up the water, then add in the tea leave and have water come up to a boil. Let the tea cool down for a couple of minutes before serving. For some sweetness, honey is a good option.

If you get the steps mixed up, do not sweat the small stuff.  Instead opt for a soothing relaxing shower with a green mint tea bath set.  Take a deep breathing, visualization, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and relax.
