Rosemary and Lavender Scrub

If you like those expensive foot and hand scrubs but don't like the price make them at home.

2 cups salt (you can use just about any type of fine grain salt)
1/4 cup olive oil (you do not have to use extra virgin or substitute in grapeseed oil)
3 tbsp lavender
3 tbsp rosemary

Mix all dry ingredients together. Add oil a little at a time and mix well

You can use a food processor or grinder to chop the herbs up smaller. Add a bit of coloring for visual presentation. Put in a lidded jar and store in cool dry area

Flea Begone Bandanna

1 cotton bandanna
1 small vital rose geranium essential oil
1 small vital lavender essential oil

1. Sprinkle several drops of each oil on the bandanna
2. Roll the bandanna and tie it loosely around your dog's neck
3. Launder the bandanna, retreat with oil when the scent fades

If your dog won't wear a bandanna, dab oil between it's shoulder blade where it can't be licked off.

If nothing else it will make your dog smell better. You can try to mix 2 drops oil mixture with 1 drop almond oil.
