body lotion

Finally!

After more than a month away from this blog, a come back to show you one of the many crafty activities that kept me busy.

The home made body lotion. Made with Mimi, first for ourselves and then for a Staff Craft Fair.

We used :

• shea butter
• coconut oil
• almond oil
• jojoba oil
• orange blossom water
• beeswax
• vitamin E

and then we added vanilla, or grapefruit essential oil. It was a bit messy in the kitchen but so much fun ! And the result is a rich texture, which according to a friend could be called "elbow grease" because it would be perfect for dry skin areas.

Of course there is an issue with the picture I took...so you'll have to imagine.

Or ask me for a sample of either the grapefuit or the vanilla-chaï one!
