What to do on a rainy day when outside is a bog yet again.
Well you create things and make a mess of course.
Today was my first foray into making skin potions and lotions. First of all I made some lovely lime lip balm which turned out quite well. It's a little bit grainy only because the amount was so small it was hard to get the blender in to blend it all.
Next was a hand cream with rosewater ,honey and geranium. This this too turned out surprisingly well.
After purchasing a $57 10ml bottle of rose absolute to use in the facial moisturiser this would be the one that hasn't yet worked. I'm trying to find out how to make it thicken. It was probably the cheap Aldi extra virgin olive oil that I used, instead of an organic cold pressed not heat treated expensive oil.
I also made soap with frankincense, patchouli and clary sage , my third batch and this looks like it has worked out well too.
Very productive day.
Oneday soon I hope to be able to earn some pocket money through the soaps that I make.
When I get a few more batches made I will send out some test samples for any one who is interested. Let me know via the comments box.
Must go, the sweet smell of bread baking in the oven tells me it's time to get it out-and eat it!!!
