My favorite beauty recipe. Comes together quickly. All of these items can be purchased through amazon
15 grams shea butter
50 grams of almond oil
20 grams of rosehip oil
7.5 grams of beeswax(1/2 tealight)
1/2 tsp vitamin E oil
20 drops lemon essential oil
10 drops geranium essential oil
10 drops carrot seed oil
2 Tbsp rose water
2 Tbsp witch hazel
Add shea butter, almond oil, rosehip oil, and beeswax to glass bowl.
Place in a large 3" high pan. Add about 3 cups of water to pan, creating a double boiler. Turn heat to medium. Stir occasionally until fully combined, about 10-12 minutes (the beeswax takes the longest to melt, pellets will melt faster)
Remove bowl from heat and add the rest of oils(E, lemon, geranium,carrot seed)
Place bowl in fridge for 10 minutes.
Using a stick blender, add waters into oil, mix while blending. Done blending in under 5 minutes.
Makes enough for two 2 oz jars. Will thicken a bit overnight. Keep one, gift the other.
My skin regime is:
(Morning and night)

2. 1/2 dropper each of HA, Retinol, vit C serum into palm and mix, spread over face, neck, upper chest and arms/hands.
3. Apply cream onto same areas.

There are a lot of expressions that we hear now and then; most we think we know the origin of, some we don't. For the most part we just don't ponder the origin of commonplace expressions because they are... common. The first thing I discovered when beginning to read this little gem of a book, was not only hadn't I considered where many common sayings come from, but my preconceived idea of their origin was actually wrong! Kinda embarrassing, but guessing I may not be alone in this. I thought it would be of value then to share some tidbits from this book. Audio format is nice, as you can multitask while listening to this. This is my first attempt at recording reading a book, so any constructive criticism is welcome!

Happy garden with all the heat, humidity, and occasional rain.
I made a yummy zucchini chocolate bread for my sister's visit. Going to air fry some of what I just picked.
