Mornings are rushed for most of us, but learning how to take your time getting ready and being present in the moment can make things feel a little more luxurious. Taking that a step even further, you can make your own body products – soap, shampoo, whatevs you rely on. Not only do handmade products give you more ownership over your body, but they also make great gifts!
