This DIY is the ultimate package to lay back and relax with friends or have some alone time to put your feet up and unwind. It includes facial masks, bath bombs, and do-it-yourself mugs so the only thing you have to worry about is what kind of movie to watch with your relaxing night in.

- 1/2 ripe avocado
- 1/2 cup of oatmeal

- Cook oatmeal according to the package instructions.
- Mix with avocado to create a pulp-free paste.
- Apply to your face and leave for about 10-15 min and wash off with warm water.
Homemade Bath Bombs
Ingredients:
- 1 cup baking soda
- 1/2 cup citric acid
- 1/2 cup Epsom salts

Marbled Mugs
Materials:
- ceramic white coffee mugs
- nail polish
- deep enough bowl to drop the coffee mugs in
Directions:
- Fill the bowl with warm water, and drop a few drops of nail polish in the bowl (make sure you move quickly because nail polish tends to harden)
