I was browsing around on Pinterest and found a ton of postings for DIY beauty treatments. Things like sugar scrubs for your hands, homemade essential oils, and a cough suppressant. I wanted to give these a shot and here's what I came up with.
***
For the cough suppressant, they said to mix honey and cinnamon and take about 2TBS spoons of this 2 times a day and your cold should leave or lessen, within 3 days. I wanted to do this religiously, as I had a bad cold, but I just didn't end up taking it as said so I'm not sure if it really works! lol...it sure did taste good though and left my mouth feeling great-very similar to the taste Cinnamon gum leaves your tongue feeling. I use to chew that gum like it was going out of style, so I loved the taste!
Make sure to come back and shake it every now and then to allow it to all mix together well. I found this to be just ok. It didn't turn out how I was hoping, as the scent isn't very strong, but it'll do with what you have on hand!
And lastly, I made a lemon sugar scrub to soften the hands after dish washing. I used some more lemon zest, added sugar to it, and some olive oil. Mixed it well until it all clumped together how I wanted, and I just store it on my microwave for when I need it. It makes the hands soft and smells good.
