1 oz Oil (extra virgin olive, sweet almond or avocado oil are great)

5 drops Essential Oil (lavender is great for relaxation)
-
½ cup sugar
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
2 slices of Cucumber
-
Small bottle for essential oil blend
-
Small bowl for sugar scub
-
Candles (optional)

Start by making your essential oil blend which will be your bath oil and used for your body scrub.
-
Make your blend by combining 5 drops of your favorite essential oil to one ounce of a carrier oil such as olive, sweet almond or avocado oil. Always mix your essential oils in a carrier oil before using it on your body or adding it to your bath water. Essential oils are very powerful and will irritate your skin if you place them directly on your skin. Never put essential oil that has not been mixed into a carrier oil directly in your bath water.

Take approximately 2 tablespoons of sugar and mix it with half of the oil blend and set aside. Save the other half of the oil for your bath.
