Does the Prov 31 Woman make her own perfume???

     I've recently gotten into making my own body sprays, lotions, etc.  That stuff is soooo expensive when you buy it in the stores and come to find out it's super easy to make and you can do a lot better job of it yourself and even make it personalized at home.  

BODY SPRAY

     Apparently there are several different recipes you can follow depending on the kind of spray that you want to make, but 'essentially' the most basic ingredients include distilled water and whatever scent you want to put in it.  Wow! Easy huh? You can get as complicated with your body spray as creating your own herbal extracts or floral tinctures, or as lazy as just adding food flavoring or essential oils.  

     From most of the reviews I read online from people who have experimented with this creation, essential oils tend to be the most popular route.  This is simply due to their variety, availability, natural benefits, and fragrant potency. You can add vodka, rubbing alcohol, witch hazel, or glycerin for varying effects on your spray as part of your base, for reasons of preserving the spray, softening your skin, or reducing sweat. 

      In my first trial run I just combined a few oz. of distilled water, a couple of oz. of witch hazel, a bit of cooking vanilla, lavender essential oil, and a drop or two of sandalwood.  I mixed it all in a used bath and body works spray bottle and just kept adding stuff until it smelled balanced and pleasant to wear.  

     I plan on having a lot of fun with this newly found alternative to throwing my money down the drain for girly products that enhance my femininity.  I think the most beautiful part about this idea, besides saving all of that money, is the fact that you can create scents that are uniquely individual and express your personality, which can be harder to accomplish when you buy these products already made.  So have fun!
