Handmade Candles: Two Ways
Arina from BellaCreme
Natural body-care expert Arina of BellaCreme shines a little light on candle making. While demonstrating the ease of melting down soy wax and adding gorgeous aromatics, Arina shows you her two preferred ways to make candles. In this class you will make a decorative pillar candle in a silicone mold dappled with fresh flowers, a colorful layered votive dyed with natural colorants, and tiny tea lights. From setting up the wick to creating scent blends, these candles are simple to customize and are sure to bring a bit of light to your life.
Make Herbal Tinctures
Arina from BellaCreme
Filled with care, consciousness, and consideration in every ounce, tinctures are concentrated liquid herbal extracts made from plants and used as herbal remedies. Incorporating such beneficial flora as elderberry, echinacea, and calendula, Arina from BellaCreme demystifies the magic of making herbal tinctures at home. With just two simple ingredients - high proof alcohol and organic herbs - tinctures are taken orally to relieve a wide range of health issues and generally boost your wellbeing.
Make Scented Sprays for the Home
Arina from BellaCreme
Fill your life with your favorite scents, as Arina of BellaCreme teaches you how to make safe and all-natural scented sprays for your home and car. You can choose to make two of Arina's favorite recipes - Amor de Amara with a gentle rose aroma or Calendula Menthe with a fresh, clean, earthy scent - or simply follow the steps to bottle your own favorite aromas. These sprays make excellent room and car deodorizers, surface cleaners, and fabric refreshers, and of course - delightful gifts.
Make a Bath Soak and Body Scrub
Arina from BellaCreme
Elevate your bathing routine by incorporating salts and scrubs into your baths and showers.

You'll learn how to mix together the healing properties of salt, clay, herbs and essential oils to make a blend to pour into a warm running bath.
