    Calendula infused olive oil & ylang ylang

    Well the calendula infused olive oil was such a pretty yellow! I used lavender bergamot and ylang ylang, equal amounts of lavender and bergamot and slightly less ylang ylang.

    Using sea glass in soap

    I saw a local soap maker advertising sea glass soap, that is topped with a real piece of sea glass, that she advises you need to remove before using.....We’re in Canada.
