DO IT YOURSELF



























Toast your
health

BoozBarz: One of these
handcrafted glycerin soaps – displayed in a martini glass you
supply – will take your houseguests by surprise. The gin martini
cake is scented with juniper, while the apple martini smells
of that ripe, juicy fruit. Confetti-filled packaging makes these
great for gift-giving, too. (3.5 oz.) $10 each or 3 for $25,
Carolyn’s Comforts.

Not just for
guacamole

Burt’s Bees Avocado Butter
Hair Treatment: With nourishing avocado oil, nettle leaf powder
and rosemary leaf powder, this pre-shampoo treatment (for both
men and women) restores sheen and manageability to winter-ravaged
and blow dryer-damaged hair. This pea soup-colored scalp and
hair goo can be tough to comb through, and it needs to be left
on for 15 minutes. Eye-opening citrus scent. (4.34 oz.) $9.95,
Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Tea-riffic
salts

Karen’s Body Beautiful
White Tea Bath Salt: Glass milk-bottle container and ribbon make
this a handsome gift. While you steep yourself in this relaxing
bath, the scent of a tall glass of sugared iced-tea, garnished
with lemon, is released. (21.1 oz.) $18, Karen’s Body Beautiful.

Cracking up

Gilden Tree Shea Butter
Balm: This little, portable jar packs a big (healing) punch.
The masculine Zen Forest scent (soon to be renamed Kirin Forest)
is made from a secret blend of essential oils. Comprised of 95
percent shea butter balm (with beeswax and vitamin E), it melts
on contact with your skin, soothing and calming those dry, cracked
areas – especially on hands, feet and elbows. (1 oz.) $6, 119
Smith Street Spa.

C’mere honey

Karen’s Body Beautiful
Honey Oatmeal Moisturizing Body Lotion: Made with olive oil,
this mildly scented lotion deeply moisturizes without leaving
behind an oily film. (8 oz.) $10, Karen’s Body Beautiful.

Good clean
fun

Smackers Make Your Own
Bath Gel: Creativity for Kids kit includes enough ingredients
to make three travel-size containers of bath gel, including clear
gel base; strawberry, peach and vanilla fragrance tubes; and
food coloring. Tools (dropper, funnel, mixing sticks) make kids,
ages 7 and older, feel like (clean) mad scientists. (Magic markers
to decorate labels are not included.) (8 oz.) $16.95, Brooklyn
Botanic Garden.

Best foot
forward

Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot
Creme: Soothe those boot-bound feet with this vitamin E-fortified
creme with a strong aroma of sweet coconut and a bright note
of peppermint. Slather on the deeply penetrating botanical oils
before bed and cover with cotton socks to banish rough, callused
skin. (4.34 oz.) $9.95, Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

It fig-ures

Karen’s Body Beautiful
Fig Tea Sugar Body Scrub: No need to use lotion after using this
exfoliating and moisturizing sugar scrub. Buffs off dry skin
and leaves what remains smooth and soft. Unique heavenly fragrance
lingers after rinsing with water. (21.2 oz.) $20, Karen’s Body
Beautiful.
