beauty is a high value of mine, it makes life worth living, and with that i don't mean conforming to commercial beauty standards, but cultivating a beautiful environment, inner thoughts/mindset, and lifestyle. here are some things i want to do to make my life more beautiful:

avoiding stress by doing tasks and assignments early

feeling refreshed by not staying up late

experiencing the sunrise and sunset by waking up early and being more mindful of my environment/nature

having a clean and tidy room

having an organized digital space

having an athletic and flexible body by regularly exercising and stretching

having an uncluttered mind by journaling my thoughts everyday

having a positive mindset (no self-loathing, ugly thoughts!)

making life meaningful by not only consuming, but also creating beautiful things through creative means

pursuing my hobbies (writing, drawing, singing, dancing, crafting)

eating less processed food & more beautifully prepared healthy food

being hygienic by smelling good, caring for my nails & hair, and wearing stainless clean clothing

avoiding stress by not being forced to hurry

concentrating being in the present moment

Ingredients

1 cup baking soda

½ cup citric acid

¼ cup cornstarch

¼ cup Epsom salt

2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)

2 tablespoons water

1 tablespoon rose water (optional, for extra rose scent)

1 tablespoon dried rose petals

5–10 drops essential oil (rose, lavender, or your preferred scent)

A few drops of pink or red food colouring (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Molds: Lightly grease silicone molds or ice cube trays with a bit of coconut oil.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, and Epsom salt.

Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, water, rose water (if using), and essential oil. If you’re using food coloring, add a few drops to this mixture.

Blend Ingredients: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, a little at a time, while continuously stirring. The mixture should be slightly damp and hold together when pressed. If it’s too dry, add a tiny bit more water.

Add Rose Petals: Gently fold in the dried rose petals, ensuring they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Press into Molds: Pack the mixture tightly into your molds, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape. If needed, use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press it down well.

Dry the Steamers: Let the steamers dry in the molds for at least 24 hours. Once they are completely dry and hard, gently pop them out of the molds.

Store and Use: Store your shower steamers in an airtight container. To use, place one on the floor of your shower away from direct water flow. As it dissolves, it will release a lovely aroma and essential oils, enhancing your shower experience.
