concoctions

my mother in law is running low on my handmade soap, which i freely give to her when she asks, and i am running low on my handmade lotion so i made a day of it today and accomplished both.  well actually 2 days since the first day is dedicated to gathering ingredients and infusing oils.  pictured is (a lotion ingredient) of manuka beeswax ready for melting with the lavender infused oil(you can see in a jar lurking behind it).

my kitchen smelled deliciously of beeswax, herbs and oils(most notably coconut oil). 

yum! blended up in the blender the finished product looks and smells good enough to eat, my skin sure loves it, but it wouldn't taste well i am afraid:)
