Pour the witch hazel into the jar or spray bottle, replace the cap, and shake the container to combine the ingredients. Witch hazel helps to cleanse your pores and balance the pH of your skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, so it may help to reduce any redness or puffiness in your face.  You can purchase witch hazel in the first aid section of most drug and grocery stores. Keep in mind that some types of witch hazel contain alcohol, which can dry out your skin. Check the labels on any witch hazel you purchase to ensure that it’s alcohol-free. Purchase lavender essential oil in a grocery store or online. Add the desired amount of drops to the container, but don’t exceed 30 drops as too much of the oil can irritate your skin. Then, replace the lid and shake well. Lavender has a calming scent, so this might be a good option to make your facial cleansing routine more relaxing.

Grab your pencil or marker and free-hand a circle roughly 2-3mm larger than the inside edge of the ring. Together, the two circles will determine the ring’s thickness. Don’t worry about making this circle too perfect, as you’ll be sanding it into the proper shape later on.  For more precise dimensions, try tracing with the aid of a scribing compass. Due to the risk of breakage, it’s not recommended that you go any thinner than about 2mm. Draw a short line across each corner where it intersects with the edge of the outer circle. Then, return to your bandsaw or circular saw to trim the corners. This will leave the blank with a rough octagonal shape. Measure, mark, and saw the corners carefully to avoid cutting into the body of the ring. Hold the outer edge of the blank lightly against the Dremel tool or belt sander. Rotate the wood gradually to ensure that the band turns out as even and symmetrical as possible. Continue sanding down the blank little by little, using the circular outline as a guide. Be careful not to bear down too hard—remember, you can always sand off more if needed, but you can’t put it back on.  At this stage, you can use your saw to shave some of the excess width off of especially thick blanks to reduce them to a more practical size. If there's enough extra material, you might even have enough left over to create a pair of matching rings.  Work carefully and be patient. Shaping is the most time-consuming part of the process, and it may take a little while for you to end up with a ring you’re happy with.

Place a large piece of parchment paper directly over the pan. Cut the paper so that it fits perfectly along the base of the pan. Leave one inch of the paper hanging over the two short sides of the pan. Measure out the ingredients and place them all in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a whisk to stir the ingredients until they are completely blended together. Reserve approximately ½ cup of the peanut butter mixture in a medium-sized bowl. After setting aside ½ cup of the mixture, add the rest to the baking pan lined with parchment paper. The consistency will be thick, so use a spatula to smooth the mixture and distribute it evenly in the pan. Measure out the ingredients and place them in the medium-sized bowl with the reserved peanut butter mixture. Thoroughly blend the ingredients together using a whisk. Once the chocolate mixture is combined thoroughly, use a spoon to transfer it right on top of the peanut butter mixture already inside the baking pan. The mixture will be very thick, so you will probably have to transfer it one spoon-dollop at a time. Place the end of a butter knife down into the baking pan. Drag the knife through the mixture, making swirls and zig zags as you see fit. The chocolate and peanut butter will create a swirled pattern, blending into one another. This will take approximately one hour, maybe a little longer. Once it finally feels firm, remove the pan from the freezer. Use a very sharp knife to cut the fudge into 1-inch pieces. This fudge will melt quite quickly at room temperature, so serve it chilled or right out of the freezer. Store the pieces in an airtight container, in either the refrigerator or the freezer. The fudge will stay good in the refrigerator for two weeks. You can store it in the freezer for up to two months.
