I've taken a great interest in essential oils recently. For the holidays this year, I made lavender/lemon and grapefruit scented lip balms. They turned out awesome. I've made whipped body butters, solid lotions, and body scrubs. It's a lot easier than most people think. Though, this comes from the same person that makes pickles every summer and enjoys s stroll through the farmers market even when I have no intention of buying anything. I am seriously considering selling my new craft. I have a great idea for how to label the different scents that I use. I'm not going to tell you now! That will ruin the surprise. You'll know soon enough. The photo got today illustrates what I use for my topical solutions. The one thing you really can't see here is my old school 70's green pot that I use as a double broiler. It was taken out of cooking rotation about 5 years ago. It was for the better. But I've just been hanging on to it. I hate throwing something like that away. Anyway, really the only thing special you need to do these fun projects is ample time and patience. All these tasks are tried and true, if not a bit of a throw back. Anyway, happy new year! Hope you a great one!
