Step 1: Melt the beeswax pellets in a melting pot over low heat. For 10-15 minutes, continuously stir the candle wax. Don't let the wax get too hot.
Step 2: To the melted candle wax, add 5-10 Gm of coloured pigment. Stir the melted candle wax with a spatula until the coloured tint is completely blended with the wax.
Step 3: To the coloured melted wax mixture, add two or three drops of your preferred fragrance oil (lavender fragrance oil). Mix the candle wax blend thoroughly. Remember that a little goes a long way regarding fragrance oils.
Step 4: Remove the pouring pot from the heat and set it aside for 5 minutes to cool. Meanwhile, insert a cotton wick into the glass jar.
Step 5: Pour the hot wax into a mason jar while holding the wick in place. Ensure that it remains centred throughout the drying process.
Step 6: Allow your candle to cool at room temperature for four hours or until completely solidified. After placing the candle, you can easily decorate your mason jar with jute thread and gum.

Ingredients
- Lip Gloss Base - 25 Grams

- Vitamin E Oil - 2 Drops
How To Make And Use
Step 1: In a beaker, combine 25 gm Lip Gloss Base with 1-2 drops of your favourite Liquid Lip Safe Color (Chocolate, Pink, Red) and a pinch of shimmer. Blend the mixture thoroughly so that the shimmer speckles and colour are well combined with the base.
Step 2: Pour in the Flavor Oil of Your Choice (Strawberry, Vanilla, Chocolate, or Watermelon) and Vitamin E oil and thoroughly mix with a spatula or a stirring stick. If the lip gloss's consistency is too thick, add more Vitamin E Oil.

4. Soap Making Kit
Give your lover or life partner a fantastic soap gift. Soap-making can be complicated, but don't worry; use a soap-making kit and this simple recipe to make soap.
Ingredients
- Shea Butter - 500 Grams
- Virgin Coconut Oil - 15 ML
- Lavender Essential Oil - 5-8 Drops
- Pigment Powder - 1/8 Teaspoon
How To Make And Use
Step 1: Cut the Shea Butter Soap Base into 1-inch chunks (2.54-centimetre) using a sharp, clean knife. The pieces must not be the same size or shape but be cut into small pieces for easy melting and processing.
Step 2: Using a timer, melt the Shea Butter soap base bits in a microwave-safe beaker for 3 minutes. Check it every 30 seconds and, if necessary, stir the soap base with a spatula. Do not boil or melt the soap base over an open flame.
Step 3: Once the Shea Butter soap base has completely melted, allow it to cool for a few minutes before adding your carrier and essential oils to achieve your soap's desired properties and qualities.
Step 4: Use soap-making ingredients such as pigment powder or dried flowers to add a unique twist to your soap. Before proceeding to the next step, use 1/8 teaspoon of pigment powder per pound (450 grams) of soap.
Step 5: Combine all ingredients in the Shea Butter soap base. Pour it into your desired soap-making moulds after thoroughly mixing. For easy results, coat the inside of the plastic mould with petroleum jelly. Allow it to cool at room temperature for 12 to 24 hours.
Step 6: Remember that patience is essential when removing soap from mould. Pull the mould's edges gently away from the soap, then turn the mould upside-down and pop the soap out. Allow the soap to dry completely before using it.
