DIY - Lemon hand lotion

pink and yellow color inspiration

What can be better on a dark, moody day like today, than injecting a little bit of energetic lemon into our lives? I love lemons not only for their vivid, yellow color but also for miraculous properties. With the harsh winters we experience here in Poland (-20'C last year, I swear!) it's always good to have some skincare treats at home. And since I like to try new, fun things at home (in my little apothecary) I want to share with you my new, easy peasy lemon squezzy hand lotion :D

Packed in a little container with a heart on top of it, it can be a cute Valentine's day gift idea for your friends and family. Who said Valentine's day is only for 'the one and only'? ;)

That's it! I hope you enjoyed my little treat today. I have to say I like the color combination of yellow, pink, white with pop of green against light gray backgruond. What do you think about it?

    I think this is an amazing idea! I love the idea of a lemon hand lotion, as it will not only moisturize our skin, it will also leave a zesty and citrus-like smell onto our hands, which I think is just simply marvelous. Thanks for this tutorial. :D
