for Lavender Rosemary Shampoo... I will definitely be giving this a try!

Ingredients:

• dried lavender flowers 2 heaping tablespoons-full (more or less is fine)
• 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary or 2 tablespoons dried rosemary (fresh really works better if you can find it)
• 2 cups Boiling water
• 1 cup Pure liquid castile soap
• 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, avocado oil, or jojoba oil
• 10+ drops lavender essential oil
• funnel
• stainer
• old shampoo bottle washed out well

How to:

1. place lavender and torn up rosemary (stems and all just roughly torn to release the oils) in a large mug or bowl
2. Boil your water as if you were going to make tea.  Pour over lavender and rosemary and allow to steep for 30 minutes
3. In the meantime, combine 1 c castile soap (I used lavender because that’s what I had on hand but unscented is fine) with 1 Tbls grapeseed oil and 10 or more drops of lavender essential oil
4. Pour via funnel into your shampoo bottle.
5. After steeping, strain still warm lavender/rosemary tea into the bottle via funnel.
6. Shake up and allow to cool completely before use

To use:

1. squirt directly onto your scalp (it is very runny) and work into a lather.
2. rinse and enjoy the scent!

You can also use this a s a body wash... Yummy! I can't wait to try it... I'm sure it smalls divine!

As Always...


Be You... Live You... Love You!
