I know. Pretentious.
However, winter's coming, and to start the WINTER season off, I decided to make some hand balm. I love making lip balm, but I have so much that this batch would disappear beneath the mounds and mounds cluttering my bedroom table, also, I wanted to try out some bergamot essential oil. SO, searching for a good recipe for hand balm, I stumbled apon this amazing blog, it's called 'A Sonoma Garden' and it has great tutorials for lip balm, hand lotions, and a lavender wand. Check out the lavender wand, it's really smart!
Anyway, I was making the recipe for beeswax lotion, and I realized that I should really be taking pictures. oops. But I have some finished product pictures, so take a peek! I would really recommend this recipe to anyone. For my version, I put half a cup of olive oil, and the other half sweet almond oil. It works fine, and the bergamot with the beeswax makes the balm smell very festive! Another one I want to try on this website is the deodorant. It looks pretty sweet.
Mmm. Smooth hands. :)
Well, I'm off now to march down the street in the Santa Claus parade. It's with my school, I'm not just marching alone down the middle of the street like a dork..
And I'm off to Queens park with my school on Monday to protest PCVS' closure!
Bye!
