Roses and cannabis are both delicate yet all-encompassing to the senses, with the power to arouse while evoking romantic and nostalgic feelings. Dotting the bouquet with baby's breath adds a unique, charming scent that rounds out the floral and herbal notes.
Ingredients

- 1 single red rose with baby's breath
Materials
- 1 ribbon of your color choice
- Scissors
- 1 small vase with fresh cold water
Directions
- When buying your eighth, ask for the biggest buds possible
- Lay down the baby's breath on a table
- Add the rose to the center and determine where you want to trim the flowers to get the bouquet to the size you want
- Cut the flowers under running water
- Pat dry then lay the baby's breath back down on the table
- Add the rose to the center again
- Loosely tie a ribbon around the bottom of the bouquet
- Slide the eighth into the center of the bow and tie firmly
- Place the bouquet into a glass vase with water until you are ready to gift

The lavish effervescence tickles your body as olive oil wraps around your skin, moisturizing and leaving it silky smooth and irresistibly kissable. Let the chatter of the world slip away as the healing waters wash over you.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon cannabis-infused olive oil
- 2 cups (1 kilogram) baking soda
- ½ cup (81 grams) cream of tartar
- 4 tablespoons (48 grams) carob powder
- 15-25 drops of essential oil of your choice (vanilla and chocolate are recommended)
- Brown food coloring if desired
Materials
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or aluminum foil
- Small shallow bowl of water (8 fluid ounces or 240 milliliters)
- Cookie cutter molds in your favorite shapes
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Paper towels
Directions
- Mix the baking soda, cream of tartar, and carob powder in a large mixing bowl
- Add the cannabis-infused olive oil, essential oils, and food coloring to the mixing bowl
- Quickly spritz a small amount of water into the large mixing bowl with one hand while quickly mixing with the other. Do not add too much water, just enough to get the mixture to crumble. Be sure not to let the baking soda fizz — using a whisk really helps this process.
- Press the mixture firmly into the desired molds on a lined baking sheet. Bigger molds may create instability within the product such as cracking, so use caution.
- Gently tap the back of the mold to release the bath bomb after it has been packed
- Lay a few paper towels on the counter or waxed paper and gently place the bath bombs to air dry overnight until set
- Decorate the bath bomb if desired — you can drizzle semisweet chocolate over it
- Wrap with tissue paper and store in a safe place until use
