Something I’ve wanted to do for a decade now, so with my probably outdated beeswax, I decided to finally do this man!!
After looking at a few lip balm recipes, which always had an ingredient that I didn’t, I kinda saw that the oil to wax ratio was 4 times a much oil, give or take. So what I did was melt down my hunk of wax so I’d know how much it was (about a third cup) and then I knew how much oil to use.
The oils I used in this batch included coconut oil, olive oil, safflower oil, a bit of castor oil and a vitamin e capsule.
I melted and mixed and then added my essential oil blends (so easy!!)
What did I use you ask? I will share – one with peppermint and orange – one with orange and clove and one with fennel 
Then I ran out of lip balm containers and still had a lot of balm left to use so I made a perfumed salve with a mix of sandalwood and rosewood – my favorites…. mmmm…. bliss!
My house smelled soooo good and I, with my cranky babe and Dreg’s party hat, was ultra-moisturized from all the testing. Very proud of me AGAIN this weekend (as if the yogurt making were not enough!) and I’m totally stocked on balms which always makes me feel well taken care of… the same thing with having lots of soap. Hmmm… I think I know what I will try next!

This seems like such a terrible thing to blog about, but the air about this house hasn’t been so fresh. Allow me to be frank and say as delightful as I am, my god, do I stink. Many many times this week I have ran away from myself wondering what is that? Ugh. What did I eat?
At first, I couldn’t put my finger on it, but after some lingering reflections, I’ve narrowed my guess to the origin of the goofy gas to the large shaker container of garlic powder that’s been going on everything – especially the organic green beans.
We ordered a big 10 pound bag of frozen ones from Frankferd Farms so we can eat them often with olive oil, a lil’ pepper and garlic powder and the kids and I have been loving them… which would explain why the cubs have been letting the wind fly too!
Aside from relief, gas is always good for a giggle around here. I even laughed a little bit ago when I read this question listed at Yahoo Answers – Why does garlic make me fart smelly farts like crazy?
People fart. And then people wonder.
If that includes you, then by all means, please enjoy the article Tail Winds listed at the Garlic Seed Foundation to further expand your flatulence knowledge.
