tonight in spa we learned how to do balinese massage. we tied in some things from thai massage aswell, which is where these little bags of beautiful herbs, clays, and oil come into play. ping (my teacher & principal) showed us all the different ingredients we could use and let us come up with our own recipes. i decided i wanted mine to be very relaxing and softening for the skin so i packed mine with milk (all the lactic acid is great for exfoliation), black sesame seeds (rich in vitamin e), french mud (it was a special one ping had, very detoxifying), & a ton of lavender & chamomile flowers. it was a really beautiful scent that sadly only i was a fan of...although when i brought my bag home, evan said it smelled like warm apple pie & cream.
i was pretty proud of myself for making my own recipe based off of my expanding knowledge of natural ingredients. i guess i know more than i think.
I wanna smell it!
