Here's a little Easter Bonnet that I crocheted for my niece's baby girl who's due any day now. It's really thick & only took me an hour :) I made little booties to match, but didn't get a pic snapped of them before I gave them to her :roll:

I enjoy reading different soap making books, lotion making books, essential oil books, etc. I've read probably hundreds of them over the years. But I have finally found one that was so annoying & just overall an awful book. It's Natural Beauty Recipe Book by Gill Farrer-Halls The...

Here's a good article on Ingredient Obsession from Robert Tisserand that I recently posted on my FB page. I see ingredient obsession happen a lot and a lot of it is based on misinformation that gets spread across the internet. Some of it is fellow B&B makers that spread the bad info and it...

Somewhere on the forum I had mentioned that I found palm free vegetable glycerin at Mountain Rose Herbs and was looking for other suppliers as well. I was recently contacted by Natures Garden Candles and they let me know that there vegetable glycerin is soy derived. So just in case anyone...

Someone had mentioned to me that wsp had a sale on coconut oil. It's done now, but now that it's all back to it's normal prices I noticed something weird. Has ordering single bottles of coconut oil always been cheaper than buying an 8 lb pail? :Kitten Love:
