Lavender Face Powder
You can create this delicately scented face powder to control shine and promote even skin color. Just add two drops of lavender essential oil to one fourth cup rice flour(grocery store) and mix together thoroughly. Find a small decorative container and place the face powder in it.

Fragrant Sheaves
Scent and beautify your home with sheaves of dried lavender. Select fresh lavender with blossom heads that are not fully opened. Gather bunches together and wrap a rubber band around the stems, then tie raffia around the rubber band. Hang them upside down to dry. The color will fade with time, but the fragrance will last almost indefinitely!!!
